Do you feel the need to spend more time alone? Do you feel a sense of disillusionment in your life? You may be an Awakening Soul. I wonder if anyone will ever get 100% on this soul test? How would they look? Famous? Old?
@alanaalison,
The first thing I would expect from a spiritually awakened individual would be the enlightened ability to convince all the gang they are asleep. That dude has not shown up yet.
Joseph Campbell in his book, "The Inner Reaches of Outer Space " cites Spengler's 8 colossal monads of great Majesty, the last of which is the present one, the Faustian (Gothic-Christian to modern European-American). This Faustian monad is characterized by a restless dissatisfaction with religion and a yearning for meaning , a dependence on material possession for fulfillment , and an unending quest for knowledge.
I suspect that this last monad began with Darwin's "Origin of Species" when a Supernatural was no longer needed to explain the natural phenomena
of living things.
The basic myths that served us for so long are no longer appropriate for they have failed to keep current with the discoveries of science. Myths are metaphors derived from our psyche, and it's a mistake to interpret them literally for a literal interpretation of myths puts them in conflict with science.
