“What’s the Point of Awakening if It Just Makes Life Harder?”

An aggressively truthful slap of cosmic comedy, emotional demolition, and soul-level sarcasm

Welcome to Earth School. Here’s Your Crash Helmet. And Maybe a Fire Extinguisher.

Let’s set the record straight: If you thought awakening would feel like sipping organic cacao on a mountaintop while angels braid your aura, I regret to inform you—you’ve been bamboozled by Pinterest spirituality.

Awakening feels more like getting launched out of a cannon—blindfolded—into your own unresolved trauma while your spirit guides stand nearby, gently whispering, “You got this, champ,” as you faceplant into your shadow for the 800th time this week.

It’s chaos. It’s crying in the grocery store because the avocados feel sad. It’s questioning your entire existence at 3:33am while Googling “why am I vibrating but also depressed?” And yes, it's supposed to feel like that.

Pieter says, “Enlightenment is just a series of increasingly intense identity crises interrupted by fleeting moments of clarity and inappropriate laughter.” (I mean, the man speaks fluent existential meltdown.)

And Eagle Eye? That legend once looked me dead in the eye while I was mid-panic and said: “You think awakening is hard? Try staying asleep while your soul’s on fire.” Then he handed me a mop. For my tears. And my ego.

Awakening Doesn’t Fix You. It Just Rips Off the Mask and Hands You the Mirror.

Here’s the cold, spicy truth most “high-vibe” influencers won’t tell you: Awakening doesn’t fix sh*t. It exposes it.

Suddenly, you can see through the BS in your relationships, your job, your own coping mechanisms, and that “totally fine” thing you never cried about from age seven. Yeah. That one. Welcome to Level 2.

You stop being able to tolerate anything fake, shallow, or even mildly annoying—like small talk, forced positivity, or Janet from Accounting saying, “Everything happens for a reason” while your nervous system files for bankruptcy.

You become allergic to your own old patterns. Which sounds great—until you realise you ARE your old patterns… and now you have to lovingly dismember them with journaling, breathwork, and the occasional primal scream into a pillow.

Eagle Eye again: “Awakening is less ‘find yourself’ and more ‘realise you’re a whole damn constellation pretending to be a houseplant.’”

Don’t Mistake Discomfort for Misalignment—Sometimes the Volcano IS the Activation

Let’s talk about the biggest spiritual lie floating around like a fart in a sound bath: “If it’s hard, it’s not aligned.”

Lies. Lies with crystals on top.

Discomfort doesn’t mean you’re off path. It usually means your path is WORKING.

If you’ve ever done a proper deep clean of your kitchen… you know it gets worse before it gets better. There’s mold, mystery crumbs, and that one fork that slipped behind the oven in 2009. It’s gross. But it’s part of the purge.

Same with your awakening. The moment things start falling apart, people ghost you, your digestion goes rogue, and your childhood abandonment wound turns into a full-blown opera? That’s the part where the soul whispers, “Excellent. Now we begin.”

Pieter says: “The discomfort isn’t misalignment. It’s your nervous system reacting to freedom.” To which I said, “Well, my nervous system is currently writing passive-aggressive emails to God.”

Eagle Eye just chuckled and said, “You’re not being punished. You’re being peeled. Now quit squirming. It’s unbecoming.”

So... What’s the Point?

If you’re sitting there, muttering into your herbal tea, “What’s the bloody point of awakening if it makes life harder?” Here’s the deal:

It makes life realer. It rips off the mask, breaks the cycle, and brings you face-to-face with your soul. It strips away the illusion so you can finally feel the truth. And yeah… truth burns. But it also liberates.

You didn’t come here to coast through Earth School like you were on a cosmic Contiki tour. You came here to transform. To reclaim. To become so damn awake, even your ancestors sit up straighter.

So if it feels like your world’s on fire? Congratulations. You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
