Are you beginning to think you are too enlightened for your friends?

When you wake up and realize that what you see with your 5 senses is an illusion and that you create your reality with your thoughts, you will likely go through the phase of “my friends don’t get it”.

You may feel like you no longer relate to them in the same way and have nothing in common. Conversations can become uncomfortable and uninteresting. You may want to move on from the relationship.

Before you say, “I’m too enlightened for my friends” (or even your family, life partner, etc.) and walk away, you may want take a moment to reflect on what is driving these thoughts.

It’s time for a MindShift Moment

When you first open the door of enlightenment, everything is new and wonderful. You may feel like you have opened a door to a secret world and society. You may crave more and more information related to awakening, meet up with others on the same path and want turn away from your old life.

It’s an exciting time for sure, but what can often be the case when this happens is a phase I like to call “premature enlightenment”

Premature Enlightenment

Premature enlightenment is when the ego gets wrapped up in its own belief that it is enlightened.

If this is the case, you might want to wait a bit before you decide to get rid of lifetime friends and even life partners.

Why?

At some point in the awakening process you will come back down to earth so to speak. You will realize that while you understand the concepts and you believe all of it is 100% true, you will also know you have chosen to experience life in human form and all that goes with it.

Part of experiencing life in human form includes the people you have brought into your reality.

They are in your life for a reason. The trick is to understand why from a place beyond the ego.

If you suddenly feel enlightened next to your friends and want to move on, ask yourself “am I feeling this way because they are acting as a mirror to me”, “can I learn something from them?”, “what am I trying to show myself through them?”, etc.

Often times, newbies to the world of being enlightened will want to let go of the people in their life only to realize later the decision to leave came from the ego and they lost much by letting them go.

Remember, all life is a mirror; a gift to help you understand the self.

Safety Note: Your safety is always paramount. With that if your friends/family/partner are abusive, 100% loser, “OMG the world is out to get me” type, then whether you are enlightened or not, you need to determine if it is best for you to move on.

Something to ponder.
