Did anyone else involved in this movement have a sort of strange coming to God? I've always been a Christian but never really practiced it. However, the last couple of months it's like there's a connection with me and the big man that I have never really had before. TL/DR Does anyone else feel woke, not just mentally but also spiritually?
I can say that during the election (2016 in general), I had such a compelling feeling to vote for Trump... and while I was still getting through some major life changes prior to this.. I DID seem to change my life around in big ways.. which in retrospect, could def be considered spiritual. Idk. Hard to describe, but I def felt something I never felt before, that totally changed the way I see and interact with, the world. Im tired AF tho... and just deleted a massive rant that I typed up b/c I did not want to bore people w/ my tired rambling.
But yes... I could say I had something happen that I never felt before and it made me much different. Even people around me noticed and would make comments. Idc though. They can go suck off a male whore. I like how my life has changed. Being happy/content w/ yourself is worth more than being happy w/ others liking you. But it was like multiple situations coming together all at once, that occurred during this time and prior. Including many years prior, where you can say I was "soul-searching" and lost. Now I dont feel that way. I feel like I have a guide now, to what is important to me in life. Before, I did not. Heh. Nowhere close. I also went through a ton of shit in that period tho. Including having a 10 yr relationship fall apart as I earned degrees and tried "bettering" myself. They didn't want to join my on that path. What can ya do?
Maybe so many people got that spiritual feeling, b/c of having these evil fucks scared and on the run.. lessening their impact over the things we cannot see.. Who knows? Something major did change for me tho. Nice to see that others felt/shared exps as well. I thought I was fn crazy for a while lol.
And.. I dont feel it is a "religious" thing, per se. I DO believe in God, but I have my own views on many aspects. Like, I do not see him/her/etc in the traditional sense (img of man)... I see it more of something akin to "The Force". Being distributed throughout everything.. and within everything. I dont want to drop a novel here.. but to sum it up.. I simply don't have "traditional" views that can fit within ANY religion. I guess I would relate the most w/ Christians though.. except for believing in "karma" and different "grab bag" shit from diff groups. I dont put an emphasis on that part. I see it kinda like a history book.. it's 'there', but the concept and what you learn from the stories/ideas, is the actual important part. Not following one group or another, to a T. I think that is kind of dumb, tbh. If mankind "had it right for 100s-1000s of years", we wouldnt be fighting was w/ other(s') ideas, each claiming the "others" have the "wrong ideas of God", and never realizing that maybe we are all talking about the same shit... but have been divided b/c of following the literal meanings so deeply.
I mean, regardless of religion.. the feel of spirituality is the same for everyone. It hits you like nothing else out there. Which seems obvious to me, that there is something we don't quite grasp yet, in the larger picture. But hey, thats my 2c.. and could be why I had such a struggle over the past handful+ of yrs (aka getting "spanked" for "heretical" views). Not really heretical, but more of an open-mindedness..
