The Spiritual Nomad

Several years ago, Lisa Renee experienced a spontaneous kundalini event that catalyzed an awakening to perceive multidimensional realities and communication with inner dimensional beings. Guided by a Spiritual Hierarchy, Lisa was trained and downloaded with various information to transit into becoming a Spiritual Guide and Energetic Healer during this planets Ascension Cycle. She is a spokesperson for the Ascension (2012 Timeline) and discusses the impacts of the current Energy Shifts upon human beings and human consciousness.
There is a significant phase that occurs in the process of initiation for many lightworkers that I refer to as "The Spiritual Nomad." Often, when one reaches this transition phase of spiritual evolution, it can be so painfully unnerving to the personality/ego that it not only devastates one's self esteem, it also severely undermines our confidence to manifest even the most basic needs for our survival. It is precisely our "root" fears of survival that are being shaken to the core and unpeeled from us during this process. We are being prompted to work toward clearing these fears and perfecting our trust and surrender. So it is extremely important to understand the dynamics of why this occurs and actually how entirely common it is.
This will help you avoid the pitfall of allowing yourself to dwell in feelings of humiliation, shame and embarrassment by this externalization of forces that transform your world into what appears to be a great "sacrifice." This is a crucial part of some of our Light Family's development and I want you to realize that you indeed have many family members who either have already undergone, or are currently working through this phase of spiritual development. I promise you this is a temporary phase. So if you know anyone who is presently working through this, do be sure to acknowledge their courage, strength, and bravery to surrender to divine order and align to their soul's purpose. Send them love. This is the truth of what they are doing and it is to be honored and acknowledged.
We need to be more conscious of supporting those being recruited (The Newbies) and the new additions (Child Indigos, Crystals, and Aliens) awakening to reinforce our divine purposes of bringing higher consciousness to this planet. We are moving incredibly swiftly -- forward!
What is the Spiritual Nomad?
Some questions to define "The Spiritual Nomad":
Are you currently jobless, juggling jobs, possibly homeless and relationship-less... much to your own bewilderment because you are an incredibly talented, skilled and loving being? You may even have an L.A.c, Ph.d, M.H.T., and other assorted credentials after your name.
Do you feel invisible -- like no one will hire you, love you, or even recognize you? And, really, for no apparent reason (it feels like you have a mark on your forehead)?
Are you unable to do anything as you did in the past to earn a living or live as you once did?
Are you a healer or working in the healing arts, running around trying to find a way to translate this into cash or a means of support?
Do you seem to travel a lot, drive or go long distances, or sleep in several different places in short periods of time, perhaps even on your ex's couch?
Do you feel confused about your purpose and identity in the world?
Are there people, such as your biological family or friends, who are completely shocked or troubled by your life, attempting to offer their advice of what went wrong with you?
Oh my dear one, welcome to "The Spiritual Nomad." Fun, isn't it? The rest of this article is for you!
This is the time in one's life where every aspect of perceived "security" in the structure of the human world is completely unstable, unknown and unforeseen. Your life in all major areas, such as relationship, money, career, residence is all abruptly halted, changed and/or terminated. You are left feeling isolated and standing in a place of total bewilderment, wondering what happened to your life, the people in it, and your former identity. This sets off every fear button you have because there is absolutely no sign of what is going on, what is coming or why it's happening. There is only a sense that some force came in, picked you up out of your hologram, and placed you into someone else's life. For a while, you may not recognize whose life it is! It is very much like the sensation captured in the Talking Heads song lyrics, "Once in a Lifetime"...
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE?
In the process of our unraveling consciousness in this human drama setting, this is one of the experiences that we have set up as "spirit" to create the experience of learning to fully surrender to divine forces. It is a complete dismantling of our ego and ego defenses. This is the crossroads where we start to leave the world of human order and align to the Divine Order. To many of our earthly cohorts, biological families and old energy friends, it will appear as if we have stepped off the edge of a chasm into a realm of insanity.
Groups will stand around shaking their heads, whispering how you have gone off your rocker, and offer lots of advice and theories about your problems and issues. As unsolicited advice starts mounting -- generally suggesting that you are incompetent, "less than," unrealistic, ungrounded, living in the clouds, or just purely strange -- your subconscious fear programs get triggered. Maybe, just maybe, could they be right? Internal pressures increase and you feel extremely conflicted about who you really are and what the heck you are doing with your life. This sets you off on a tangent of extreme inner examination and the re-evaluation of every goal, dream, thought, and idea that you have had about your role in the world. Will I ever make it? Will I ever become self actualized? Will I have the ability to create abundance in my life?
This process is designed to cultivate the incredible inner strength needed to face yourself and your deepest fears of survival. You then become intimate with the universal Law of Abundance and learn how generous the universe really is, even if it's not all manifested in order of your personal preference. You find that somehow, someway, all your base needs are being met, even though you have not the foggiest clue how it's happening or who some of the strangers are that have appeared in your life to support you -- in ways you would never imagine! You learn how to receive from total strangers (an illusion, as everyone is Family) or from new sources, and learn how to acknowledge and receive these new ideas of abundance of which you were not formerly aware.
So, most commonly, one feels a type of embarrassment at being in the situation; yet, simultaneously, one feels gratitude for these blessings being demonstrated at the most mundane levels (or even incredibly opulent levels) of existence. Finally, at about this time, you begin to Trust and realize that you really are divinely protected and supported! You can relax now (at least a little)!
Here's an example of my own experience: I was classified as "homeless" (as the Spiritual Nomad) and, yet, found myself staying and living in multi-million dollar mansions, and actually more than one at a time! The juxtaposition of having $20 to my name and hanging out in sprawling acreage with koi ponds was really quite bewildering to my brain/ego. I began to experience a new level of universal abundance and had to release my attachment to my ego's desire/need to create it as coming from me. That illusion was a tricky one to dispel! I spent many bemused moments pondering the circumstances in which I found myself. It cultivated in me a trust that my needs would be met and that my spiritual path and mission was indeed supported in the physical world.
These experiences do cultivate a level of deep faith and trust in the Divine Order, even when you do not have any external validation of "safety" -- and that safety could be monetary, emotional support, or a place to call "home" with a bed in it. Even when you are feeling blind and disconnected, to face this uncertainty and to find yourself "okay" with it all is a major revelation. When you realize that your deepest fears (so many of them!) did not happen anyway, and, if they did . . . well, it really was not as bad as you once imagined it! My God! You can face just about anything! Your personal power begins to increase and your inner light glows ever more radiantly!
Well, my little darlings, if you find yourself smack dab in the center of this process, know that Spirit has many designs and great plans for you! It is important to work through all your fear, worry and obsessions. Then work to allow guidance, support, and the light to shine on your path, even when it makes absolutely no logical sense. You are learning to work your new Higher Sensory Perceptions and these antennae within you are being finely tuned for your new task and mission in the world.
You cannot "make" anything happen while you are in this process. So, you must relax as best you can. You are in transition to your greater destiny. When relaxing, you are expanding, not constricting, and the divine forces can more easily work through you and for you. Know that transformational forces are working magic in your life in ways you cannot comprehend. There really is a Divine Order to what is happening to you. Know that it is okay not to know. Get more comfortable with uncertainty and external chaos while you cultivate that impenetrable core of divine essence to show the way for you and others. Finally, know that your Family is out here. We get it; we know what it's like and we love you for walking the path with us!
Until next time, stay in the luminosity of your Heart and Soul Path! We are here as One!

Lisa,
Sincere appreciation for your narrative of the experiences you are having which reflect elements many of us share with you.
I have embraced homelessness, joblessness and find security in absolute insecurity, as we transition in transition, we are transforming everything.
I have embraced the gift economy for a year now giving to experience it completely, without a safety net and it has led to remarkable relationships and experiences, for me.
A little resonance, from Andre Villoch:

Henry David
After reading Henry David
I'm convinced I could make it
If I moved into the woods
Yes, I believe I could
I would take only necessities
Along with me into the trees
Follow his economy
And live there, quite happily
And I would leave
All that I believed I would need
And I know now
All I need will be supplied somehow
I would take Romantics to read
And grow only enough to feed
Myself, with something supplemental
And I would feel quite transcendental
I would carve my own tool handles
Read only by the light of candles
I would take a different path each day
So as to not wear one away
If you came to visit me
We could sit and drink some tea
From the only two cups I'd own
From inside my very modest home
Namaste!

Transformation.
yeah
Thank you!
I started reading this during a lecture that wasn't of much interest to me and about a paragraph in I walked out of the lecture hall so I could read it in peace!
These are quite honestly the most encouraging and loving words I have heard in some time.
My 'awakening' came late last February in the form of what I can only describe as a world-dissolving shift in my perception of reality. I at once began to perceive the world (including my own physical being) as somehow arbitrary and inexplicable. This frightened me in ways I had never experienced and find difficult to explain in words. It truly was a terrifying, world-shattering experience for me.
This brought me to meditation. Amazingly, the universe had already provided a sort of spiritual guide in the form of an older friend who was and is always there for me when it comes to matters of the spirit. I meditated regularly and consulted this friend. I had also booked an appointment long before this time with a therapist who specialized in sexual therapy and, to my surprise, philosophical counseling. Through working with my guide, counselor and through meditation I was able to calm myself and was reassured that I wasn't 'loosing my mind'.
I left my job and went traveling for a while and have since returned home to Toronto to attend University. This is where I feel that my spiritual journey has stagnated. I often feel 'caught', between my old reality and the next and my path seems unclear. I have managed to ease my anxiety somewhat and my view of the world is forever expanded but by the same token, many of the joys I once had seem to have faded as well.
It seems as though, as my awareness expanded, my emotional center went in retreat to protect me from experiencing the pain of our society's illness. How do I move on? How do I open up in this new awareness? And how can any of us function in a culture that views the spiritually awakened as an amusing sideshow, or worse, as mentally ill?
I want to experience beauty again.
Always Love,
Adam

Hello Adam
I just thought I should let you know that my world has also changed in these dramatic ways and that I am about 2 hours north west of Toronto. In small town Ontario.
Love to you
Natalie
Keep going!
Hi Natalie, thanks for commenting. I've found it so helpful to know that I'm not alone and that there are many of us experiencing this type of awakening. It takes a lot of courage and I know it can be overwhelming at times.
If you (or anyone else on the forum) feel like sharing your experiences or need any support, I'd love to keep the conversation going here, or write me an email: propertyofparkdale (a) gmail.com
Keep going!

Thank you
Well done, sister...
Dear Lisa,
How wonderful and timely your article for so many who may believe themselves 'lost' as the world stage continues to unravel. I know many fine, skilled folks who can no longer plug into the 3-D paradigm that is designed to come to completion. You are a perfect emissary for Source as it offers its compassionate embrace- no doubt to many- who may feel painfully confused and isolated; with little hope of enduring. Indeed, this article (and your heart) offer unity, support and perhaps more importantly, purpose- in the madness.
And if I may offer some words from the gospels of Thomas and Philip: "Be passers-by. Don't build a house on a bridge; the world is a bridge."
To my brother Damien: wonderful to feel your depths in your sharing. I may be able to offer a (free) self-healing possibility in regards to the anxiety and heart palpitations you mention. My email: acceptance@nym.hush.com. I'd be happy to share what works for me.
Thank you again, dear sister, for your courage to step forth on behalf of so many.
Many blessings of peace and greater awareness to us all.
Many thanks!!!!
I've messaged you brother on your offer. :)

Thank you
I'll add my thanks to the pot. Currently undergoing a process similar to what you're describing. Finding this website, reading new books, having conversations- all blowing my mind on daily basis but also helping me make sense of why I've always felt at odds with the world. I've done a great job of forcing a fit in the past, but it's no longer working. I struggle now with knowing what's true. Not so much with a sense of paranoia, but in the direction of not having a direction. If the old stories are not true, then who's to say that the new ones are? What can be trusted and where can truth be found?
I know, in writing the above, that 'we' create the stories and our own truths. Perhaps my anxiety just stems from a lack of trust in myself. So I guess this is a long way of thanking you again, for helping me see that others are out there- going through a similar awakening and that I'm not going crazy.

No, not crazy...
During a recent Breathwork session, I was introduced to the depths of my own interior consciousness. In summary, it was similar to an earlier experience I had of my personal consciousness being dipped into the ocean of unity consciousness; in this first instance, I was a droplet in an ocean. During the later experience, my contemporary consciousness was introduced to the vast personal consciousness history of all the lives I have ever had; in this later instance, I was a quantum in the droplet.
The later experience of my exploration of the droplet, as a quantum, was much deeper and more detailed than my experience of having been dipped as a droplet into the ocean (I hope you’re picking up my description of scale).
My current life was the quantum, and the droplet was the totality of many, many iterations of me, so vast and so deep; so detailed and so specific, that I was overwhelmed by the wave upon wave of data until finally time ceased to exist, but the data kept coming.
Had I been shown the ocean (in my earlier experience) in the same detail, I just wouldn’t have been able to handle it. As it was, when being shown the detail of my own vast inner consciousness (the droplet), I begged for it to stop coming—there was just too much specific detail for me to absorb.
This experience left me with many impressions, of course, Zachary, but the one pertaining to your comment above is that I learned that I am more than the consciousness that this short lifetime can ever hope to appreciate. I am so old a being, with so many, many experiences—all of which have been so faithfully cataloged—that I have every reason to trust in myself to guide me through this maze to the Truth.
All of the resources I need, in whatever specific detail I might need them, are all contained within my own vast droplet of consciousness. I need not ask another for direction.
And in the unlikely case that I might need more assistance, the exponentially vaster ocean of universal consciousness will always be lovingly willing to help. Otherwise, why would it have revealed itself so profoundly, yet so gently, to me?
The process of education is nothing more than remembering.
Thanks for posting
Finally, a label that fits!
Thanks so much for your wonderful post. It describes my journey of the last several years so well - a journey i did not expect when i set out. On my journey of spiritual growth i have criss-cross the continent, been to many of the most beautiful places, had incredible (but a ttimes tough) experiences, dared to do things i would have never imagined, and at times have had no idea on where i would sleep or how i would live. While i am technically homeless as i wander the land i am finding the home that is within. And on this journey, where security seems absent, we find a sense of faith in ourselves, in others, in the universe, and in god, and learn to look at the world in a different way.
This posting came at a perfect time - for i find myself temporarily surrounded by those who do not understand why i cannot "be normal", and serves to remind me that i am on the path. I have finally seen a label "that fits". I have been writing about this lately, and thank you for this post.

What happens when a nomad stops wandering?
This article touched parts of my psyche that I've been trying very hard to hide/deny/pacify. I lived the life of a spiritual nomad (perfectly described!), and I have to admit with some shame, I was one who couldn't cut it, or at least, I've chosen to return home to something I thought I had (escaped?) from. I no longer have a spiritual practice, despite a continuing feeling that my beliefs are genuine and deep held.
I really wish I was more beautiful, trusting, open, as were the people I met when I was wandering on the path, but somehow I could never quite shake the simultaneous feeling of arrogance/I Am Better, and shame/I Am Lying, when I was around these people. Somehow my words and practice and feelings and thoughts never matched up, never seemed real or genuine enough, and when the metaphorical (uh) stuff hit the rhetorical fan, I came back home, compromised, gave up.
This is a bit of a downer post, provoked by something which should be so uplifting, but I really miss, even through the ephemeral medium of the internet, the touch of something divine, and I really really miss being around beautiful people.
The nomad...
...never stops wandering.That is the meaning of the word.
But the nomad who explores the under-developed country of his or her own interior landscape walks toward an ever-receding horizon through an ever more verdant world.
There is no lack of personality here to explore; no shortage of interesting people with whom to engage. So many different facets of myself to befriend!
Sure, it would be nice to share this journey with another traveler, but to lament my situation might be to interrupt my development. I don't know to what my ache for companionship will lead, but I know--because it is a real ache--that it will be healed in time.
I have such a simple task before me: To enjoy the ride. What could be any easier?
just trying to integrate thru sharing
I've felt myself at many instances in between and during the underlying perhaps beautiful story unfolding, a great deal of pain and challenge on my path. I have not been able to somehow turn off the ego/shadow peeling balancing process and find myself going thru many alternating timelines and identities every day and thruout the day. I find myself sifting thru these different patterns constantly almost like an addiction that i can't turn off and that i dont want other people to know about because it seems so strange or foreign or something.
I go thru so many timelines, falling getting broken and then getting ressurected and saved again, constantly shifting and deepening my perspective on just what my truth and story are and just who i am..am i beautiful or ugly, bad or good, it constantly changes and i can't always trust the perspective that is coming up.
Started heavily in 2003 after an initial awakening i attracted a lot of very difficult chaotic experiences that seemed to cover up and kill my old identity and distort my truth to the outside world..been a process to come out of that oppression of self and confrontation with the power structure and dark forces of the matrix, come to make sense of all the things I have been taught about the nature of our situation here and my message and purpose from it as someone to help bring liberation from the old systems and their arithmetic, and be reborn into my new earth form..
Hard to maintain consistent balance too.. I think that the old paradigm has much less power and influence over me now tho and i've manifested much more support for my true work here over the past years..

Yesterday I realized even more that each moment is exactly as it should be. A beautiful friend of mine called me in a moment when I was feeling very down, confused, alone, scared, and so many more emotions. I wasn't going to answer the phone because I knew that I would probably start crying and I did and he knew just what to say. He knew just what I needed to hear and so read me Lisa's beautiful article. I was so completely amazed because EVERYTHING he was reading was EXACTLY what I've gone through!
I feel my true awakening began in 1980. What I experienced was very frightening to me at the time, but after going through it I realized what had happened. My journey has led me to many places since and I've had mostly ups until 2007 when a big shift in my life happened: divorce and financial ruin. I have experienced being jobless for several months and being unqualified for unemployment benefits. I have stayed with a gracious friend for a couple of months, slept on my ex's couch, lived with my sister until I could no longer help her with rent and am now moving in with my mother. My ego has a difficult time accepting the fact that I'm 50 years old this month and am living with my mother because I am unable to support myself. I have been accused of being ungrateful and selfish. My true self sees all of those experiences as a gift which has led me to even higher consciousness and an appreciation for less is more. I remind myself often that I am not alone in these experiences. I can relate to every one of you, though Happy Alison made some comments about her experiences that really resonated with me. "Not being able to turn off the ego/shadow peeling balancing process; alternating timelines and identities; who am I..beautiful, ugly, good, bad...." I have felt so often as if I am just losing it! There have been many times when I've thought the unthinkable. It's been an emotional roller coaster! I also relate to the feelings of anxiety that some of you have experienced. That has been one of the most difficult things for me, because I feel as if I can't go out in public and even times when I have anxiety with my own family or friends! I struggle with it at work which is difficult because I work in a customer-service field. It's an overwhelming feeling.
Lisa, I am so thankful for your beautiful and articulate article! I have read so much on consciousness, ascension, 2012, but your article was written as if you were speaking to me directly. You were, really, as well as to all of the other brothers and sisters out there. We are all one! Love to all of you for walking the path with me!

Hello family!
Thank you Lisa for this excellent article and everyone for sharing their experiences. I've lived through the frustration of having plans come to nothing and having to move on so often that I've come to the realization that I am wherever I am for as long as it's necessary to communicate what I've learned.
What I've learned: joy is possible in this moment, loving and giving are our greatest gifts and all we need ever do, our personal power lays in selecting beneficial thoughts since our transformation is the only thing we can manage, and whatever we believe is what we receive (so believe in yourself and the perfection of this moment). This is Heaven on Earth.
Like going through a wormhole
The feelings of disconnect and total disorientation, loss of my "super-powers," eg. I couldn't use Reiki and my intuition was completely shot. Everything I said and did just came out wrong - I was misfiring left and right. Severe problems with my teenage daughter, sudden apathy at work and felt trapped in my job, didn't want to teach yoga because I felt phony, moved to a smaller apartment and had to send my son to stay with his father because I couldn't afford to have both my kids with me, sudden medical situations left me in debt with medical bills for the first time in my life, oh yeah, and no relationship in sight - and I'm not exactly unattractive either. And of course this culminated with a breast cancer scare. Adrenal fatigue & food allergies abounded.
This happened very soon after I had Reiki attunements as well as my initiation into the ayahuasca experience.
Life is very different now, actually the opposite of last year. Recovery has been really slow, but very stable & feeling more grounded. Got laid off from work, which turned out to be the best thing that happened to me. Teaching yoga again, healing my body, my daughter went to live with her dad so I have peace at home now, and I found love.
I recommend, by the way, some practice (whatever works for you) that grounds you. And having patience and lots of compassion with yourself, keeping in mind that this too shall pass.
Cheers...
shall we gather?
