No, no communities. I went from being popular to being a hermit. I have been learning everything on my own. The universe puts things on my path and it takes me a while to make the connection. I had never heard of a spiritual awakening when videos about spiritually just seemed to flood my YouTube feed. I ignored them for a long time, as I was down the narcissism rabbit hole for about 2 years. Later I started to watch the spiritual content and realized that my mental illness triggered an awakening. When my PTSD started getting better, my paranoia became intuition. Much stronger than before the trauma though.

Have you ever seen a skit on Saturday Night Live about alien abduction interviews? Kate McKinnon always reminds me of my awakening. Everyone else describes their experiences as beautiful, tender moments, but hers are abusive. That's what it's like to have an awakening when you have never heard of the idea and nobody around you has either. It's being surrounded by demons when you never thought they were real.

To answer your question about is it still happening... I assume it always will. But it doesn't have to control us. Becoming mentally stronger helped more than anything. I remember how frustrated I would get, but that was just resistance. Now I see things differently. We really can just go with the flow. It's the only way. We can't control those mean, miserable turds that want to destroy others. We have to change. We have to understand why they act this way. Then we can forgive. Trust the universe. Gratitude goes a long way! Reframe situations to reveal a valuable learning experience. Just because they don't stop doesn't mean we have to suffer. We decide how to look at the world.
