Why So Many People Experience A Sense Of Spiritual Awakening

By Mark Moore


It seems as if there is a growing trend among people to yearn for more from life than just material goods. They yearn for happiness, ongoing inner fulfilment and personal growth. They want to discover meaning in their lives and they are often weary from slogging from one day to the next. In short, they suspect that there is much more to life than they are getting. They experience a spiritual awakening and they long to satisfy those needs.

Mankind has always been spiritualistic beings. In the early days witch doctors, prophets, healers, soothsayers and other creatures with special powers have directed the efforts of man. There were gods, forefathers and many under world creatures that demanded attention. There were sacrifices made, prayers said and services held. Statues and temples were built. There were rituals and cynics were cast out, killed and excommunicated.

Millions of people find that religion is the perfect vehicle for their journey towards personal growth, happiness and contentment. Most religions promise their followers that there is a supreme being that loves them, care for them and that can offer them life eternal. These beliefs, and the facts that most religions are structured and disciplined, appeal to the masses and make them feel as if they are part of a special group.

While religion is normally practised in congregations, many people prefer to satisfy their needs in an individual, private manner. They feed their souls and achieve inner growth by practising yoga or meditation. They can do this in the privacy of their own homes but if they feel the need for interaction with like minded people they can always join a group or class.

Many people experience a vague longing to grow as individuals, to become better people or to discover their inner beings. They often do not know exactly what it is that they are looking for. Such people often benefit from individual sessions with personal growth or life coaches. The coach helps them to identify their inner needs and to explore ways, techniques and discipline that will satisfy those needs.

For many people, the only way in which to feed the needs of their souls is to serve others. They become involved in charities and they achieve a feeling of well being, personal worth and even happiness when they make an effort to improve society. They visit the elderly and the sick, care for lost animals, serve in soup kitchens and help with fund raising efforts. This makes them content.

Many people longing for spiritual growth do not know where to start. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with experimenting with various disciplines, methods, organizations and techniques. No human has exactly the same needs as any other and it is therefore only logical that no human is able to prescribe to another in terms of how to feed their souls.

Spiritualism has seen a massive world wide growth. It seems as if people want more from life than success in their careers and material possessions. They want to be happy and they want to feel as if the are worthy. These are lofty ideals and every individual has the right to pursue these goals in their own lives.
