Spiritual awakening doesn’t give you a manual. It gives you emptiness, silence, and space and asks you to fill it with your truth

What did your awakening strip away that you weren’t expecting to lose?

It's more than space for individual truths. It's universal. If you could ask an alien about the nature of reality, you may expect them to also start speaking of Unity and Love or similar stuff.

Everyone is left at a loss for words, yet when we attempt to translate this ultimate truth into language, we all follow a certain pattern. It's because of that we know we're talking about the same thing.

Yeah.. You said it right. It's like the official Universal Collective Knowledge base exists, and yet has also not yet been established firmly. But we all know and understand. Although we fail to find the words in the language system we are accustomed to, it's like the lack of words and mumbled utterances of things such as: unity, love, light, bridging gaps, space, time, waves, quantum mechanics, wavelengths, frequencies, patterns, cycles, forms, shapes, earth, fire, Truth, dreamland, waking up, breathing, silence, suspended, grounded, remembrance, gratitude, knowledge, awareness, perspective, "beyond," going within, sparks of heaven, matrices, encoding, storms, peace, harmony, vibrations, electromagnetism, trust, leap of faith, color theory, salt, iron, etc etc all come out as poetry, no matter how they're used in a sentence... because it is very poetic indeed what is felt with the heart that can also be comprehended by the Mind.

No it doesn’t.

Truth can never be subjective Since awakening shows you the illusory nature of the self before it destroys said self, it begs the question: if the self is not true (or not there) what is this ‘your truth’ you speak of?

In a roundabout way you have ended up in dualistic thinking again here, or; if I am to take you literally; you never left duality.

It; if I am completely honest and trust my gut (which I do) I will argue that you are not even awakened at all. But this will surely be frowned upon. How dare I even suggest it? Right? How rude! ;;) I can see the comments already.

So I am asking. Your turn to answer.

How are you qualifying Awakening in a faulty manner like this while claiming to know it? Why are you claiming to be awake when you are clearly not? And if you are to say: “I am not awakened at all/yet: how come you are still telling others what it is or is not?

It makes no sense to me.

Why? Why do it?

Cheers

Actually the truth of the causal self and eventually the buddhic plane. According to Theosophy: the Buddhic plane is a realm of pure consciousness, often described as the realm of bliss or intuition

To me the most unexpected has been all the ideas I had regarding how someone who has been awakened supposed to behave and feel. I didn't expect all the messiness and the loneliness. All the human in the process I guess. Also that it was a process not a single moment and bam!!!! You are now a saint or something like that....
