When something has been feeling off, but we can’t quite put our finger on it… When things don’t feel quite right anymore, with no explanation why…

Perhaps the reason things feel different but we don’t know why is that we are waking up.  A new higher way of thinking is just organically appearing in our hearts and minds as if it were a flower opening with its petals unfolding.  It’s as if a door is slowly opening in our consciousness and new awareness is trickling in.  The old way of thinking and doing things just doesn’t work for us anymore.  It’s when we feel there is just more to life…

Literally waking up on and around the hour of 3 AM, often, can also be a sign of a spiritual awakening.  That is an hour when we are very close to God.  It is a quiet time of great inspiration and creativity.  For years, I would wake around that time, with an intense feeling like I was working hard on something in my sleep, or being worked on by a close friend or mentor, or God.  I now know that I was being healed and re-wired.

We use the term waking up for spiritual awakening because waking up means just what it says, we have been asleep, following along through life as life just happens to us, afraid of a God that judges and condemns us.  When we wake up, we see more truth.  Our minds and hearts change roles.  We do more feeling than thinking.  We are becoming more compassionate and connected.  We are coming home to the divine within ourselves.

When we look back over the past several years, we can’t pinpoint just when the change occurred, but we know we are different now.  We eat differently, live differently, think differently, spend our time differently.  There are things we just won’t tolerate anymore.  We do some things in new ways for the simple fact that it is the right thing to do.

Or an awakening may come in a powerful moment of realization.   Dr. Wayne calls it a quantum moment and he describes it in his blogpost, Wake Up Call from Heaven as this, “It’s easy to see why a quantum moment would be seen as turning life upside down.  It’s a complete shift away from the pleadings of the ego and back home to desiring a God-realized life of peace, family, love, and personal honesty.”
