5 Signs You're Experiencing A Spiritual Awakening
After you undergo what is called spiritual ascension, or awakening, your eyes are open to a whole new way of seeing the world. The process of ascension is one through which your entire understanding of reality transforms. Through ascension, you open your eyes to your own divine sovereignty with the realization that your physical body is just a vessel for infinite consciousness. It involves unplugging from "The Matrix", a structured system that keeps us trapped in a prison of our own limited conscious awareness.
The matrix is the thing that controls our collective perceptions. It is engineered by social constructs that narrate our entertainment, fashion, education, mobility, culture, and media. All of these systems require a low frequency, or vibrational force. The by-products of these systems include hatred, prejudice, envy, thievery, toxic masculinity, oppression, and corruption.
Anything under the control of the matrix is illusion.
In a nutshell, the reason that the world seems so shitty, even though it is full of such beautiful resources, love, and miraculous oneness, is because it is wired with low vibrational energies and entities that thrive off of the dark side of duality. These entities only exist because the world has existed in low vibrations for centuries, until now. The following 5 things change once you wake up and undergo ascension:
1.You Connect With Your Higher Self
Scientists say that human beings only use up to 10% of our brains, but once you have access to your higher self, you are able to utilize much more of your brain than you ever have.
One of the first signs that you have tapped into your higher self is recognizing the significance of signs and synchronicities through angel numbers, lucid dreams, and other meaningful symbols. You also become cognizant of your ability to co-create your reality through manifestation. You realize that you are capable of manifesting more than just tangible riches.
2.Your Intuition Becomes Your Logic
You go to school, you get a job, you work that job for years, you get hitched, you have a family, and then you retire. Though creative and artistic structures exist, for the most part, the world wants you to follow the more mundane and expected mold of life. Using your intuition or going with your gut feelings are considered more of a risk, when in reality, living by your intuition is actually living in flow. Just like the way everything else in nature works.
Your intuition can never steer you wrong, and cannot be swayed by the illusion of the matrix.
3.You Are Unable To Operate In The Matrix The Way You Used To
As you raise your vibration, you begin to stick out like a sore thumb among people who have not yet begun their own process. Certain people, places, or things no longer resonate with your rising frequency. Your energy alone, might freak people out, or make them "malfunction."
Putting yourself in situations where you are drowned in low vibes will physically drain you, and you may disconnect with friends, and family members as a result. Eventually you learn to deal with this because your vibration will only attract people, places, and things that are vibrating on your same frequency.
4.Your Ego Dies
When your ego dissolves, so does everything attached to it; including things like fear, doubt, and envy. This means that you lose the idea that you are the only thing that is important, and you realize that everyone, and everything is connected.
You lose attachment to a separate sense of self and self-centeredness. You realize that your material and idealistic desires and expectations have been built on false grounds of self-absorption through your limited psyche. When your ego dies, everything you do going forward becomes for the betterment of all that exists.
5.Your Life Becomes Purpose-Driven
Everyone has a purpose. Ultimately, the end goal of enlightenment is to discover what your purpose is and how it contributes to humanity. You begin to do things that you love and are passionate about, versus spending your life devoting yourself to something under duress of fear or need for control.
Your purpose is your soul's highest accomplishment.
Sometimes finding your purpose and ultimately shedding fear takes a long time, even if you have experienced an awakening. Learning never ceases. And self-growth and evolution is as continuous as time itself.
Spiritual awakening is a destructive process in one sense, but it leads to ultimate happiness and divine knowledge and joy. If you got to the end of this article, pat yourself on the back for choosing to "wake up." By doing so, you are living through your purpose, and helping others to do the same.

UnPrisonedhas returned for its highly anticipated second season, delving deeper into the complex dynamics of the Alexander family.
The series premiere comes a year after its debut season garnered rave reviews from fans and critics and earned record-breaking ratings for Hulu's Onyx Collective brand. UnPrisoned's success can be attributed to its raw, relatable themes and comedic appeal.
Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan's life, the show follows Paige (Kerry Washington), a therapist and single mother whose life takes an unexpected turn when her father, Edwin (Delroy Lindo) --who was released from prison-- moves in with her and her teenage son, Finn (Faly Rakotohavana).
Throughout UnPrisoned's first season, viewers witnessed how Edwin's incarceration deeply affected Paige's life and relationships. In the series, Paige unpacks her trauma through interactions with her inner child and her online followers. Meanwhile, Edwin is overcoming specific struggles with his own past that led to his life of crime, including a dysfunctional upbringing and his mother's arrest. As the Alexanders attempt to reconcile, new challenges arise.
This new season promises to further explore their unconventional family dynamic. Here are several compelling reasons why season two of UnPrisoned should be on everyone's watchlist.
The Alexander Family Life Is Still In Shambles
UnPrisoned's second season resumes where the series left off, with Paige grappling with the fallout from her troubled therapy practice and Edwin navigating life independently after moving out. Meanwhile, Finn faces his own challenges. The teenager is battling anxiety and seeking information about his father—a topic Paige avoids discussing.
The Alexander Family Are Attending Therapy To Resolve Their Underlying Issues
Amid the chaos in their lives, the Alexander family decides to mend their bond by confronting their past traumas. They seek professional help and attend therapy sessions with a “family radical healing coach,” played by John Stamos, a new cast member. This collective effort aims to unravel the complexities of their shared history and strengthen their relationships.
The process of unraveling each character's internal conflicts and their potential impact on future relationships may clash with Paige's textbook therapy approach. While Paige is used to being in the therapist's seat in both career and family, this forces her into the unfamiliar role of a patient during therapy sessions. This shift would compel her to look in the mirror and try a radically different approach.
The Alexander Family Learned A Big Lesson During A Therapy Session
In therapy, the Alexanders are tasked with addressing their individual traumas to salvage their remaining relationships. One of the family therapist’s eccentric suggestions was an exercise involving a family wrestling match. During this session, Paige faces tough questions about her refusal to share information about Finn's father.
While it's unclear whether this scene is reality or fantasy, the image of the family duking it out in the ring certainly makes for hilarious yet compelling television.
Paige Tries Dating Again Following Failed Relationships
Amid her life's chaos, Paige decides to step back into the dating field. However, her many attempts have left her with mixed results. The dating apps have turned out to be a fail, and an outing with her ex Mal (Marque Richardson), who is also her father's parole officer, doesn’t go quite as expected after he brings an unexpected guest – his new girlfriend.
The situation takes an awkward turn when Mal's new partner learns why the former couple split, partly due to Paige's self-sabotage.
UnPrisoned Is A Perfect Balance Of Comedy And Drama
As a dramedy, UnPrisoned takes a comedic approach to its heavy subjects. The show takes us on a ride with Paige's dating misadventures and navigating a friendship with her ex.
Other lighthearted moments include Edwin's attempts at CPR based on online videos and, of course, the antics of the Alexander family's unconventional new healing coach.
The second season of UnPrisoned is now available on Hulu.

Mariee Revere On Her History-Making Million-Dollar Sales And The Future Of MoonXCosmetics
If the name Mariee Revere sounds familiar, it's probably because you heard of her beauty and skincare brand, MoonXCosmetics, or you may have heard about her history-making achievement of making $1.8 million in less than eight minutes. But before starting her million-dollar brand, Mariee was just a teenager trying to cure her acne.
While she grew up in the skincare capital of the world, South Korea, Mariee didn't really experience breakouts until her senior year of high school. Like many people who get their first breakout, she didn't know what to do, and there weren't many products out there at that time. So she decided to experiment. What she didn't know was that what she came up with would ultimately be her ticket to success.
"When I graduated high school, I moved back to America, Georgia, and I ended up making, like, the oil, the Rose Galore oil, which is like the staple product of my brand. I don't know what made me make it, but I did, and it literally cleared my face up," she tells xoNecole in an exclusive interview.
"I end up selling it as a body oil first because, obviously, I'm 17, [and] don't have any background as an esthetician or anything like that. I just made a product that worked for me, but people bought it and was using it, and I reformulated it, and then it just stuck like with me."
While MoonXCosmetics is known for its facial products, it wants to expand to body care and home. It just released its new product, Moon-Gel body wash, and it's only up from there. As Mariee continues to grow the brand, it's more than likely that she will see more history-making moments. And so far she has.

When asked if she feels pressure to obtain more of those milestones, she says yes and no. "I did $1.8 [million] again, and then I did $2 million but I feel like now, currently, I don't look at that as one of my goals anymore because [of] the headache and just everything that came with it, but I was thankful and blessed to have that milestone, but now I'm looking for more," she says.
"I want to say more reach than more like fast-paced sales. I do want that. Obviously, every girl wants that, but I do want to have a better overall reach for my brand because I did take two years off so I was able to learn, [and] study a lot of different things. See how things have changed from 2020 to now."
"I did $1.8 [million] again, and then I did $2 million but I feel like now, currently, I don't look at that as one of my goals anymore because [of] the headache and just everything that came with it, but I was thankful and blessed to have that milestone, but now I'm looking for more."
Another part of expanding for any company is hiring people. Finding the right person to help you can be a hassle, especially for business owners who are used to doing all the work themselves. Mariee can relate to this, and she touched on this topic in her documentaryThe Million Dollar Story. She recommends having someone be your "right-hand man" who you trust to handle the ins and outs of the company.
"I could say, definitely get, like a right-hand man to help you within the process because that really was what helped me. I never had a job. I literally was 18 now, being like, you know, the boss of over 30+ employees at one point in time, and I didn't know anything. I didn't know anything about no W-2s, no taxes, no clock in, clock out because all I [have] ever known was my brand," she explains.
"So I definitely partner with people who are very skewed and versed in those areas, and they helped me get through it. Even to this day, I still have my same person helping me with hiring, firing, [and] doing everything that I can right now because I'm still learning. But obviously people get jobs young, so they have way more experience than me, but still learning."
And though she is still learning, one thing she makes sure to stay on top of is being consistent. Consistency is what trips many people up when it comes to achieving goals, but Mariee says it's all about scheduling. Whether it's when to post on social media or email marketing, scheduling it out can make a world of difference. That same practice also works when planning out her future goals for the company.
"Right now, future goals would be to drop at least five more products before the end of the year. We always do outreach, where we do drives and all that, but definitely do way more this year, she says. "Then really dive into body [care], and then hopefully open up MoonXBody underneath MoonXCosmetics to let that branch out and be open and definitely get back consistent."
