Stages of Ascension: When Nothing brings You Joy Anymore: By Alan Watts- Why Awakened Souls feel they can't find love in this world.
Alan Watts explains that as ascending individuals achieve spiritual awakening, they no longer project their needs onto others to find completion.
This is when self validation is achieved. This means they no longer seek love as a solution to their own emptiness or as a means to be rescued, leading to a shift from conventional, ego-driven romance to a deeper, more authentic connection.
Awakened souls are complete: Spiritual awakening leads to the realisation of one's own wholeness, dissolving the illusion of needing another for completion.
Love changes, it doesn't disappear: The desire for conventional, dramatic "falling in love" disappears because the underlying emptiness that fuels it is gone. Instead, they form a new kind of love that is quieter, based on it being genuine, real, being whole and free rather than being incomplete.
A shift from need to freedom: This new love is not about grasping, bargaining, or rescuing, but is a free sharing between two whole beings. It is a "rising" rather than a "falling" and is based on clarity and presence, not on illusion or fear.
Solitude is a choice: Awakened individuals will choose solitude if it means staying true to their clarity, rather than engaging in a superficial or false love.
A lack of motivation stems from a spiritual or philosophical "awakening" that reveals the ego's motivations as an illusion. This realisation can cause a loss of the drive to chase status or achievements, because the false premise of a "separate self" that needs to "prove its worth" is seen through.
True motivation is not the absence of something, but a shift from ego-driven striving to a state of simply "being alive" and experiencing life without the pressure of performing or needing to be "more" or "better".
The illusion of the ego: many of our desires are fueled by the ego, a limited and false sense of self that constantly seeks validation through external achievements and status.
Spiritual awakening: A moment of "awakening" can make it clear that this ego is a fiction, leading to a shutdown of the ego's need-based motivations.
Loss of striving: This can feel like a loss of motivation, as the constant "striving" that the ego relies on dissolves. However, this is the freedom from the false self.
Just to be alive: The true meaning of life, is not to achieve something beyond ourselves, but simply to be alive and experience the present moment without the anxiety of needing to "do" or "be" more.
Nothingness and the void: existence and non-existence are a duality, much like the figure and the background in an image, all "things" come out of "nothing" (the boundless void) and return to it.
The paradox of "letting go": The very desire to achieve this state of freedom can be a form of clinging. True freedom/ Nirvana is about "removing " the need to control and grasp, allowing life to flow naturally and abundantly.
Living in the present: being completely engaged with the "here and now," no longer focusing or worrying about the future or the past, as anxiety makes no difference to what will happen.
The "real you": the individual self in it self is an illusion, the real deep down you is the whole universe.
