Awakening without love is just another illusion. You can study the occult, go down all the rabbit holes, study the stars, memorize the names of distant civilizations, speak of dimensions, and claim knowledge of mysteries hidden from humanity. However, if your awareness makes you arrogant, if your beliefs make you cruel, or if your spiritual identity makes you look down upon others, then something essential has been missed. Higher consciousness is not a trophy for the ego. It is an invitation to become more honest with yourself, more compassionate toward others, and more responsible for the energy you bring into the world. The true measure of awakening is not how close you believe yourself to be to the light, but how much less darkness you contribute to the lives of others.(Please repost)
