Where Do I Belong?

I sat down to write today and opened myself to guidance as to where to direct this article, and I was asked a simple question:

Where do I belong?

So let’s explore it and see where it takes us.

I say it’s a simple question, but the answer definitely isn’t.

I think many of us, myself included, are still searching for a sense of belonging.

It is very common when an incarnated soul goes through the awakening process for the world they thought they knew to begin to crumble around them.

Families, long-term friends, even work communities all of a sudden don’t fit. Not because they have changed, but because we have changed.

We no longer resonate with the people who used to give us a sense of community and belonging.

We no longer share the same values. We don’t think the same way. And remaining in those spaces often just creates friction.

After going through this transition, so many people find themselves feeling alone.

Making new friends can feel harder as we get older.

And where do we even go to connect with people who think the same way we do?

As much as the awakening process is growing every day, with more and more souls “coming online”, that doesn’t necessarily mean that these people have an interest in spirituality, at least not in the way that you and I do.

They might not have an interest in crystals or talking about angels. They might be awake, but still not believe.

I think the definition of being awake means something different to everyone.

To me, it has always meant that someone has “looked beyond the veil”. They have seen through the illusion and are beginning to think for themselves.

That puts them in an amazing position to start making better choices. To be open to change. To live with a more open heart. And ultimately, to support the collective move towards unity consciousness.

But it doesn’t necessarily make them spiritual.

I have said this before, but I think of the ongoing ascension and the growth of spirituality much like I do going to the gym.

Random, I know, but stick with me…

We all know that to live our best life, we should look after our physical health. Gaining strength has massive benefits for long-term health, and it can provide more energy and support better mental health in the present. But what percentage of people actually exercise regularly?

Lots of people do it, of course, but it’s far fewer than the number of people who know they would benefit from doing it.

In the future, I think spirituality will be the same. As more and more people awaken, spirituality will take a more prominent place in our society. It will be widely accepted. People will know it would benefit their lives to live more spiritually. But how many will actually practise it regularly?

That growth will absolutely make it easier for us to find more like-minded people, but not everyone will be interested in talking about the potential benefits of crystal healing 🤣

But we all deserve somewhere to belong.

Community is such an important part of life.

The internet, for all of its problems, has been an amazing source of community for many.

It still amazes me that people from all around the world can come together with a single purpose, to connect and share our light.

Being able to work together remotely has no doubt been a huge benefit to the ongoing ascension process, because whenever we combine our focus, amazing things always happen.

Social media has given us groups and forums, pages and channels that remind us there are others out there, even if we haven’t met them in real life.

We are able to connect by sharing in each other’s stories.

We feel less alone because we know our own challenges aren’t just bad luck. They’re part of a bigger movement that is steering us in the direction of something brighter.

This alone is invaluable.

I believe we can find a place to belong online by uniting to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts.

This is something that is really important to me in my own work, and I hope that in the not-too-distant future, I will be able to do my own small part to help create that.

But what about in the material world? How do we find a new community of like-minded souls?

The chances of finding those people down the pub on a Friday night are probably pretty low, although the universe does occasionally weave its magic 🪄

But with the growth of wellness practices, it’s becoming easier to find a yoga group, a sound bath or a meditation class. There are regular mind, body and spirit fairs and in-person workshops all around the world.

There are lots of opportunities to get out amongst people.

But the most important step, and I say this to myself now, is to put yourself in a place where you can find a community.

And that can be scary. Meeting new people can be really hard. Especially if you are an introvert like me.

But ultimately, it can truly enrich our lives.

We all deserve a place where we feel like we belong.

And I truly believe that place exists for each and every one of us.

We just have to be open to the possibility of finding it.

I want to end today by simply saying thank you all so much for being a part of this community with me!

We may not have met in person, but I am truly grateful that I get to share my journey with each and every one of you beautiful souls.

Sending you so much love,
David 🙏💛
