8 Things People Don’t Realize You’re Doing Because You’re Highly Awakened

Upon embarking on the journey of awakening, our perception of ourselves and the world around us transforms profoundly. We gain a heightened awareness across all dimensions of our being—spiritual, physical, and beyond. This awakening often manifests in behaviors and practices that might seem unconventional or even peculiar to those still on the cusp of their own awakening journey. Far from advocating that you curb these distinctive traits, we celebrate them. Your awakened self is a beacon of authenticity and enlightenment in a world that often prioritizes conformity.
Our mission is to illuminate the path of your awakening, to honor how it differentiates you and sets you on a unique course of discovery and growth.

Here’s a closer look at how your awakened behaviors, while possibly misunderstood by some, are invaluable expressions of your deeper consciousness:

1. You need more alone time.

As you evolve, solitude becomes not just beneficial but necessary, offering precious space for reflection, growth, and introspection.
While some may misinterpret this need as withdrawal, it is an integral part of your awakening process, facilitating deeper self-understanding and renewal.

2. You trust the universe.

A profound trust in the universe’s benevolence and wisdom underpins your outlook. You embrace the belief that, despite life’s vicissitudes, there is an inherent order and purpose that ultimately prevails.

3. You feel everything.

Your heightened sense of empathy allows you to attune to the emotions of those around you, sometimes to an extent that can be overwhelming for both you and others. This deepened empathy is a clear indicator of your expanding consciousness.

4. You trust your intuition more.

Through your journey, you’ve learned to heed the whispers of your intuition, recognizing it as a reliable guide. This trust in your inner voice enhances your decision-making and aligns you more closely with your authentic path.

5. You see signs in everything.

Nothing is coincidental or trivial in your eyes. Whether it’s an unexpected wildlife encounter or a local event, you perceive a broader significance, connecting individual occurrences to a larger, universal tapestry.

6. You question everything.

Rather than taking life at face value, you delve deeper, challenging conventional wisdom and societal norms. This inquisitiveness is a hallmark of your awakening, as you seek to uncover the layers beneath the surface of everyday existence.

7. You shift the conversation to heavier topics.

Small talk no longer suffices; you yearn for discussions of substance that probe beneath the superficial. Your quest for depth drives you to explore meaningful topics, seeking truth and connection in every interaction.

8. You are aware that you are onto something, and you are trying to share that Upon discovering profound truths, your instinct is to enlighten others, to extend the spark of awareness.
While not everyone is receptive to this illumination, your desire to spread understanding is a testament to your awakened spirit.

Seven Grandfather Teachings

1 - BEVER - Wisdom
To cherish knowledge is to know Wisdom. Wisdom is given by the Creator to be used for the good of the people. In the Anishinaabe language, this word expresses not only "wisdom," but also means "prudence," or "intelligence." In some communities, Gikendaasowin is used; in addition to "wisdom," this word can also mean "intelligence" or "knowledge."

2 - EAGEL - Love
To know Love is to know peace. Love must be unconditional. When people are weak they need love the most. In the Anishinaabe language, this word with the reciprocal theme /idi/ indicates that this form of love is mutual. In some communities, Gizhaawenidiwin is used, which in most context means "jealousy" but in this context is translated as either "love" or "zeal". Again, the reciprocal theme indicates that this form of love is mutual.

3 - BISON AND BUFFALO - Respect
To honor all creation is to have Respect. All of creation should be treated with respect. You must give respect if you wish to be respected. Some communities instead use Ohibwaadenindiwin or Manazoonidiwin.

4 - BEAR - Bravery
Bravery is to face the foe with integrity. In the Anishinaabe language, this word literally means "state of having a fearless heart." To do what is right even when the consequences are unpleasant. Some communities instead use either Zoongadikiwin ("state of having a strong casing") or Zoongide'ewin ("state of having a strong heart").

5 - SABE (BIGFOOT) (Honesty)
Honesty in facing a situation is to be brave. Always be honest in word and action. Be honest first with yourself, and you will more easily be able to be honest with others. In the Anishinaabe language, this word can also mean "righteousness.

6 - WOLF - Humility
Humility is to know yourself as a sacred part of Creation. In the Anishinaabe language, this word can also mean "compassion." You are equal to others, but you are not better. Some communities instead express this with Bekaadiziwin, which in addition to "humility" can also be translated as "calmness," "meekness," "gentility" or "patience."

7 - Turtle - Truth
Truth is to know all of these things. Speak the truth. Do not deceive yourself or others.
