Even After Awakening, We Still Hurt — Embracing the Gap Between Soul and Humanity
Many people find
themselves puzzled after spiritual awakening:
“Why do I still feel pain—even after I’ve awakened?”
Old emotional triggers, deep fears, and physical discomforts still linger, as
if the inner work changed nothing.
But in truth, this is
the beginning of deep integration.
Awakening is the light
of the soul shining into our awareness.
It shows us who we truly are, but it doesn’t instantly erase who we believed
we were.
That part—our trauma,
ego, inner child, defense mechanisms—still lives in the body.
And it’s not a mistake. It’s an invitation.
I remember a day after
deep meditation when I was full of peace and compassion. Just hours later, one
comment triggered me, and waves of anger, shame, and grief flooded in.
I felt like a failure—“Wasn’t I supposed to be above this?”
Then I realized:
Awakening doesn’t mean you no longer feel pain. It means you’re now
conscious enough to face it.
You no longer run from the pain—you sit with it, as a mature soul witnessing
the human struggle.
This is the process of
sewing soul and body back together.
Not by spiritually bypassing your humanity—but by lovingly embracing it with
your soul’s presence.
The world doesn’t need
more “enlightened” people who reject darkness.
It needs more people who are willing to dance between light and
shadow—honestly, courageously, whole.
