As this whole concept of a mind, heart, and gut awakening settles in, I’m beginning to see how each stage has shaped my experience of relationships and my role within them. The mind awakening came first. It felt vast and open, almost limitless in its clarity. Non-duality made perfect sense on a conceptual level, and the world appeared translucent, almost dreamlike. But it also created a kind of emotional distance. If someone shared something deeply painful, like losing a love

When the truth of oneness is almost too hard to look at.

An experience of pure awareness

When the barriers of projection, judgement and pity fall away, we're left with truth.
