The Spiritual Path and Bliss

Bliss is a state of purity which precedes Awakening. Bliss is not a state of pure perfection and can be interspersed by moments of physical and mental discomfort. It is well documented that many Awakened beings experienced great suffering alongside their Awakening experience. This is still true today. Only the strongest and most flexible of beings can navigate the sometimes tempestous journey of Awakening to fruition. This may take many life times and does not need to be accomplished all in one sitting. Do not be discouraged if your Awakening journey takes time to unfold and at times even seems to have stopped or stalled. It takes time for the physical form to catch up with Spiritual progression and a number of growing pains are possible at these junctures. Even after the main Awakening event moments of dispair will be experienced as the body struggles to come to terms with its Spiritual nature.
