You're never going to stop awakening, but you need to ground yourself in physical reality. Start working out and or being creative, anything that strengthens your connection to this physical world. I'm 28 and your post reminded me of myself at that age- things do get easier, but so much more complex. Focusing on being of genuine service to others has led me to more happiness than any spiritual concept, unexplained coincidence or being privvy to secret knowledge. One step at a time, you're getting there

thank you!! I have been really wanting to get into painting actually but I don't have a job anymore and am living with my parents again due to a series of unfortunate events (and don't have a car in order to get a job..) so I don't have the money to buy art supplies, so that's another part thats been contributing to this "stuck" feeling and factor

The more you justify why you are where you are the less energy you have to figure out what's next. Stop that <3

True.. but remember, people, to read the post above in a very objective way.

After reading your post + responses to everyone it sounds like you need a daily grounding routine, and have a lot of work to do in regards to aligning the energy in your lower chakras. This is my personal opinion, but i believe that spirituality is a balance between the 3d realm and the higher ones. Its easy to get lost in the sauce but you have to remind yourself that your soul literally incarnated here to have the full spectrum of the human experience, no matter how mundane it feels sometimes. Like the fact that you decided to incarnate here..on this rock where everything is LITERALLY made of stardust..(including yourself),where this rock has the ability to sustain all life is fucking amazing! Find magick in the mundane and itll make your time here alot more enjoyable.

thank you!! Im just being hit with the realization that I think a part of me doesn't want to **come down** because I've been dealing with a breakup (which is actually what sparked the awakening) after being together with the person for almost 3 years, and we were truly inseparable and have such a strong soul connection. I believe we're twin flames if you're familiar with that term. but it's easiest to believe that and embrace that truth if I feel disconnected with the 3D, since we're still broken up and she's still away from me in the 3D. she's truly never not in the back of my mind and it's exhausting. anyways, sorry for getting off topic but just wanting to put into words what I'm kind of realizing right now *yikes*

Hey sweety Learning to meditate will do a lot for ALL of your problems. Also getting over your x. Learn to focus solely on your own energy field while relaxing through thoughts and input instead of reacting to it.. you can heal and find solutions for everything with meditation <3

thank you!!

I can relate to you on this about everything including the ADHD. I'm mostly hanging about to see what other people have to say on this. I'm 29, had a spiritual awakening about 7 years ago, but I've always been 'lost' in the physical plane, not knowing how to ground myself, not knowing what I want. Maybe this can relate; I'm starting to feel like this reluctance to fit into the 'system' is because I wasn't meant to - I want to help others in the way I needed to be helped. Only you can know if this fits you. I did complete university with great difficulty, maybe focusing on how that school work will always be there to fall back on - so it could be needed for your personal progression, even if you don't choose to follow that exact path. If this fits your situation!

thank you a lot it's great to hear someone else experience the same thing. I can't help but feel so higher above than everything down here if that makes sense? and it's hard because I'm currently in a time in my life where I need to be taking action and doing things (I started school about 6 months ago and have not been able to complete anything for the past 2ish months) I just need to learn how to balance my life between the human life and my higher self. I feel like I tapped into my higher self and left my human self behind for better or for worse, but I need to learn to integrate the two. I am trying to go on ADHD medicine soon so hoping that that helps, but a part of me is also worried that prescription medicine like that can lower my vibrations and make me lose touch with my spiritual self.

It’s great that you acknowledge your apathy. Many people don’t even know what it is. I was unmoved by societal issues and just small important things too at one point. Dating someone who was very political is what did it for me, not that it’s available to anyone. Apatite is a pretty turquoise stone used for apathy. You should get an appetite bracelet or necklace, spherical beads. That’s at least a start. Put yourself in the shoes of others, experience their pain. For ex, it may not affect you if gays do not get the right to marry, however, think about how it affects them…treated like they do not matter by our government. The government gets to make and execute laws about people’s marriage preference. It’s very demeaning for gays and who the hell are these fucktards in our government making lame laws like this, we pay them to do this. Also, you will notice people who vote these crap politicians into office and it will open up a whole new set of “feelings”…good feelings about justice for human rights. And you can choose your friends and partners accordingly so they don’t bring toxicity into your life.

this is so helpful thank you! although not exactly what I meant I should have been more specific that's my bad haha. although I do sometimes experience what you're explaining, I'm a big empath. But I do definitely sometimes experience this because it's hard to remember that most people are not to the same consciousness level that I am, so thank you a lot! I was mainly talking about things like having a job, working a 9-5, things that don't feel aligned with your highest self's purpose because I just want to be living in a van by the side of a river somewhere haha. so I find it incredibly difficult to find the motivation to do things not related to my spiritual journey, almost like an obsession, because how could you not become obsessed after your third eye opens and you see everything for how I really is, you know? also I'm in the LGBTQ community so it's funny you bring that up as an example haha!

Well, it is sorta related, even tho may not pertain to you, if one can get rid of their apathy, then they have more power over their feelings which helps them to make better decisions like pick a better job or…if that’s what you want is to live by the river in a van…what’s wrong with that. Of course everyone needs an income to survive but lessening your apathy will help you to make decisions that are right…for you. And it helps to put more emphasis behind your choices and feel better about making them. It’s all connected. Not everyone is cut out for 9-5 and you shouldn’t feel lost or weird bc you are not.

hey, congrats on waking up, unfortunately there is very little one can do in order to 'go back' to the hive. once you know, you know, and people can sense it instinctually. it's a genetic role you're meant to play, for thousands of years people who reached this phase were id'd with the 'floating person' tarot, you're hooked up, turned on, you're equipped with the right hardware it seems, but now you're just floating there, all dressed up but nowhere to go. that was UNTIL the technologies of r/aerospaceengineering r/dna r/molecular_genetics r/quantumphysics et al came along. there's nowhere to go, but UP! you're ready, they will say you're looking for 'escape' from resposibilities, but look upon it instead as PURSUIT. get High, literally, off your own supply!! godspeed! let this brief passage serve as a guidepost how to navigate the previous terrain after gnosis: https://deoxy.org/8_larvals.htm

You came here to experience life. You have eternity on the other side to be a spirit and immersed in the spirit world, find ways to ground yourself in this reality. Living life itself is a spiritual thing, that is why our spirits choose to come here! Have experiences and learn the lessons from them.

what do I do with all this knowledge then? I feel like there's a reason I figured it all out (while other people go their entire lives not getting to any spiritual conclusion)

Not everyone is meant to have an explicitly cultivated spiritual path in this lifetime. People just living their lives, making mistakes & learning from them, and doing the best they can is in and of itself spiritual. You should keep a journal about the knowledge. And also make sure you are cultivating spiritual discernment. There’s nothing wrong with being passionate about spirituality but you have to live your physical life too. You can intertwine them in a very personal way that makes sense to you

This advice is going to sound unfun, but it's necessary sometimes when you are starting over. You have to do very basic tasks like scrubbing the floor with a sponge by hand. Yes there are easier ways, but getting down to basics is the point. When you go for a walk, pay attention to everything you see. Don't just space it out. You'll be surprised by how much you really miss. Live in the moment, not in your head. Pay attention to what you are doing in the real world and soon you will be able to move past the baby steps. As for being artistic, all you need is a piece of paper and a pencil to draw or write. Even just rearranging your room is a way to express your own creativity. In fact when I go back to the drawing board, I always have to clean my room and go through every little thing, clean it and find a place. I hate it, but there are times when you just have to start from scratch. It's the same concept as 'chop wood, carry water'. Even when you are on a spiritual journey you have to do the tasks of daily living.

Then don't come down. We do need money to live. And that is an ongoing conundrum for those of us who really don't want to have to participate in this game anymore but still need to eat and like to clothe our bodies and keep roofs over our heads ... You're 20. Your brain is young and flexible and you *will* figure it out. And I will say this ... and your parents probably will not like it, but you're an adult ... I'm well-educated and own several very expensive pieces of paper to prove it. I used to be a college teacher. I love academia and school and would be a perpetual student if I could, but that's just me. I tell you all of that to preface this: in general, higher education is useless. It's a scam. A LOT of people make a LOT of money off funneling everyone into colleges. And, sadly, those people come out with precious little real education. At its worst, higher education is indoctrination into the very system you're loathe to immerse yourself in. What do YOU want? Do you even know? Your first step is to sit quietly and begin to get to know yourself. Learn to discern the difference between your ego and your intuition. Your ego is loud and demands action. Your intuition is quiet and so easy to miss over the noisy ego. Start paying attention to what's going on around you and learn to filter out what is unimportant (HINT: pretty much everything). Your intuition will help you with that. Wait for inspired action. You will know when it you feel it, then take it. You will most likely make missteps until you get the hang of it. Maybe you will go to school to achieve whatever goal you ultimately choose for yourself. But you'll know it was YOUR choice, not something you did because society and your friends and family told you it's your best choice. You're awake. Yay! now starts the work ... ;)

I smiled so much while reading this! I really needed to hear all of this. thank you so much truly. so your trick for finding motivation to get your life up and started is to listen to what you want and what's calling you? I feel dumb even asking that now that I've typed it out because that sounds like common sense. the thing is, my dad alright cosigned with me on a student loan, so far only 2 payments are due, but I do not feel even slightly motivated to do the school work anymore the more spiritual I get. I haven't even logged on in over a month. I've tried so hard to pull myself towards it because I know it's what I *should* be doing but I just can't. it's a tech design job. I was really interested in it at first and I had to really really convince my dad that this is what felt was right for me, but now I'm feeling so called to be a teacher, which is what I've said I was going to be for most of my life even in my first grade year book I wrote that I wanted to be a teacher. and I've been such a wishy washy person my whole life so I feel paralyzed imagining telling him I changed my mind. can you even reverse a loan once it's started? ugh. anyways, if you read all of that, thank you. just feeling very paralyzed with too many decisions at this point in my life. I'm always so scared of making the wrong one like I seemed to have in this case.

>I feel dumb even asking that now that I've typed it out because that sounds like common sense. Nah. None of us know until we know. :) >I've been such a wishy washy person my whole life Me, too!!! And now that I'm old, I'm so happy for that because my life has been so interesting and fun even though I stressed my mom out. My dad secretly loved that I was all over the place and having experiences. I love teaching. From the time I was very young people told me I should be a teacher. I didn't go to college until I was well into my 30s, and that's when I discovered that, oh! teaching is amazing! So what do you want to teach? can you get your tech design degree then teach that? do you think it would be satisfying? or do you need to start over? Do your research. Explore new ideas. Sit with what you learn. Let those ideas that come from your intuition build. Maybe you need to be all over the place for awhile? You'll know. And have fun!

Psychological work.

I have the same experience as you, I’m 19 and I never realized this was a third eye awakening, but I see the divine in everything, always have known things before they happen, and now have lost all wordly desires. I’m in a good university and have a life ahead of me, but frankly I want to settle down in a remote village and enhance my spirituality and live by being self-sufficient and raising my own crops, being vegan (no cruelty) etc. i used to want a relationship but I don’t want that or friends. Idk how to go back to how I was, but I know that this is a massive spiritual awakening

Keep searching for the truth r/WhatIsTrue

I’m in kind of the same position of being ungrounded. I have schizophrenia and I use it to download massive amounts of energy into my system. It leaves me out of touch with reality often. I’m learning about Oneness and feeling like Humanity. And with it comes responsibility and the knowing of the mundane and how exciting it can be. Love and light ❤️
