To everyone who hasnt had an awakening yet:

[StripedGiraffe]

Keep doing the work, my friends. Be patient with yourself. I know it can be difficult to stay on this path when you haven't quite experienced awakening yet. I promise you, it is so worth it. There is nothing in life more worthwhile and profound than the spiritual path. If you are wise enough to follow this path even though it has no guaranteed payoff, you are blessed, my friend. It took me 5 full years of spiritual practice before I had my first spiritual awakening and about 5 1/2 years of practice before I had my first enlightenment experience, and let me tell you, it was worth every damn second I spent in meditation and contemplation. The deeper you go, the more beautiful and motivating the path becomes. If you're stuck in a rut or struggling to stay consistent with your practice, don't beat yourself up. You'll get there as long as you keep coming back to spirituality. Leo, if you see this, thank you so much. There's no way I'd where I am without your teachings. Feel free to check out the story of my first awakening. To be clear, the awakening I share in the video is shallow compared to my most recent awakenings but I think it might be helpful for newbies. Much love!
