Do you consider your "spiritual awakening" kind of like a "new birth into a new dimension"

Question

This just crossed my mind. Another "silly question"..lol I wonder what the difference is in this "awakening" and being "Born Again". I know that being "Born Again" has to do with Jesus..but I still believe in Him..so what's the difference? (Guess I'll get some answers from the R&S people on this one!)

Answer 1

Just a new mindframe into newer and brighter ideas and things..

Answer 2

Like a new birth yes, but not into a new dimension. It's always been here, me and my perception are simply changing within it. That's what I think anyway. But as I "ascend" higher and higher I leave parts of myself behind. I've actually done some quite extensive healing within the last year and a half. I've had to raise stuff from the deepest, darkest parts of myself and face all those inner demons I've been putting off all these years. And it manifested through my abilities in ways that were quite frankly terrifying. Lord there were points I thought I was just plum nuts. Only to have a psychiatrist! tell me, nope, you aren't. Now that I'm coming out the other side of it, my perceptions are sharper... I see more, I feel more, I hear more. I feel so free, like I've just sprouted wings and am taking off into the sky, completely fearless. I have faith now, adn that in and of itself to me feels like a rebirth.

EDIT:

Oh.... the difference... to me, there wasn't one. Jesus has helped me a lot. It may help you to know that I have met him, he has blessed me with his presence, in a few of the darkest days this past year. The most awesome feeling of peace I've ever felt. Mmm. That feels a bit arrogent of me to say most of this, but I'm told to leave it, so maybe it's something you need to hear. Hope it's not offensive anyway. :)

Answer 3

Not a dimension as described in physics, but a renewing of one's mind. Looking at things through His(God's) eyes.

Answer 4

yes a spiritual awakening is like going  into a  new dimension...you start to see everything around you so differently, and start having more spiritual experiences...Bit like The Celestine Prophecy....that was like my guide to me, of all the things that had started happening around me......Gave me confirmation that all i was experiencing was infact really happening, it really had a huge impact on me, and that was the start of my new journey.......

Answer 5

To me a spiritual awakening is more like a shift in consciousness - bringing your consciousness into a new level.
