You echo my concerns.
I’m taking it as an opportunity to practise faith above reason 🤷🏻♀️. I know there’s a reason we’re here at this time — and it may not be to accomplish 100% of anything. But whatever we do receive and give along the journey will be exactly what is needed of us, and for us, right now. And it will be worthwhile 🙂
Hi!
I’m so grateful to finally be on this journey I didn’t realise I was seeking up until a few weeks ago 🙂 . I’m finishing my second semester of the course, and so far it’s made everything feel like it’s falling into place — life makes much more sense and I’m enthusiastic to learn more.
However, around the lesson “There is none but Him,” an intense feeling of emptiness appeared out of nowhere. I can’t explain it as a reaction to anything in my daily life — on the contrary, I’ve generally felt balanced. It is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. My usual self-regulating routines (painting, running, meditating, CBT, sleep, diet…anything) don’t touch it. In fact, as the beneficial effects of those actions fade, the void intensifies. When I focus on it, I get instantly overwhelmed (as if I am suddenly breathing the air with insufficient oxygen is best I can describe it). As someone with a counselling background, this is baffling to me. It’s an intense sense of lack that I can’t locate or rationally explain. If it’s related to the course, it doesn’t feel at all like what one would expect “drawing the Light” to feel like — rather the opposite. I might be missing or misinterpreting something. It’s starting to affect my daily life and is making it difficult to stay motivated. It’s been a few weeks and it’s wearing me down.
I’m not sure what this is, but it seems like it may need regulation on a spiritual level? If so, I would be grateful if you could share resources or advice to help me understand and address this state.
Thank you
I enjoyed learning about the perception of reality and would like to continue to deepen my understanding of the topic.
As a non religious person, this is the first time I found the approach to spirituality that makes sense to me so far.
