Hi Brent, do I have to be enlightened to be a lightworker?
We’re experiencing an acceleration in our collective awakening. Together, we are moving out of the third dimension (3D) and into the fifth dimension (5D). The transition or journey of ascension into 5D is through the fourth dimension, (4D).
With this ascension, as you may be aware, many more people are awakening, becoming more conscious, and are beginning to explore their inner world.
The reason that this acceleration in our spiritual development is possible at this time is because people are ready and willing to share what they have discovered, no matter how big or how small. People are willing to listen to and to learn from each other, with humility and sincerity.
So with that said, you don’t have to be enlightened in order to serve. You just have to be sincere and honest with yourself and others as well as compassionate for yourself and others.
The journey never really ends. Even after enlightenment, the work continues, the deep healing still has to carry itself out, there are still further energetic activations and awakenings that can take place, and there will still be challenges, lessons to be learned and also questions to be answered.
So I would avoid looking at enlightenment as this sort of qualifying attribute in the same way that a PhD makes you a doctor. Enlightenment is not like that.
If you have had a particular realization, insight or awakening and you have integrated it into your everyday human life, then you are in a position to offer guidance to others within the realm of what you have realized and integrated for yourself.
For example, if you have come to a point where you recognize the importance of mindfulness and being present with what is, and you have integrated this recognition into your everyday life in a meaningful and sincere way, then you can share these ideas with others with confidence! Sharing with others will further deepen your own understanding and it will help them immensely also.
However, as a side note, I would make a point here that unsolicited advice is often not well received. Lately, I’ve noticed many people with a certain degree of awakened consciousness just opening their mouths and vomiting spiritual answers when nobody asked them about anything in the first place. It comes across as sophomoric and egotistical, to me. But that seems like a phase that we all pass through. I know that I did for a bit.
As someone of service, as a lightworker if you will, use your discernment and know your limitations. Have no reservations in simply stating that you’re not aware of something or that you’re not experienced enough to offer guidance in that area. Don’t hesitate to refer the people that you’re working with to other sources that may be more suitable. This is totally fine and encouraged.
Furthermore, generally speaking, I have found that people are not divinely guided to seek guidance from someone that cannot guide them. The Universe doesn’t work like that.
If you’re completely unfamiliar with Kundalini, you’re not likely to come across too many people seeking your help with their Kundalini awakening, for example.
There are still areas and topics that sometimes people approach me with that I won’t touch. I recognize my limitations and I honor them. However, I have put in effort to find out about other resources that I can refer people to. This is important to me.
The general rule of thumb that I go by is that you won’t be asked for something that you can’t give. That doesn’t mean you must always have the perfect logical answer to every question or request that you receive.
Sometimes what you have to give is simply your honesty as you say “I don’t know”.
Your best bet is just to be a humble lightworker that is passionate about sharing with and healing others, with love and acceptance, that also recognizes most importantly that they are an eternal work in progress themselves. If you know your limitations and you’re willing to sincerely respect them without needing to always have the answer someone else may need, your service will be very effective.
Spiritual awakening can create energetic instability with many challenges, such as depersonalization/derealization (DP/DR), Zen Sickness, Emptiness Sickness, psychosis, mania, insomnia, and more. I share some ways I ground myself to prevent energetic imbalance.
