As the days, weeks and months pass by it seems like I am feeling less and less... to the point where I no longer feel anything at all... no happiness, sadness or desire for life. I have no desire for human companionship beyond superficial niceties and don't see how anything will ever get better. It feels, as the title of my post suggests, purged of all feeling and emotion. If I am a remotely spiritual person that I thought I was, how could this possibly be? How can I have been become this way? Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

hello there :) in reading the books Dancing the Dream by jamie sams and Dreaming the council way by Forest they talk about death, and the death process.....it is something i don't think our culture knows all that much about and so we are left to fend for ourselves in figuring this stuff out.......i think that is why so many people have problems with it......death process are very normal and natural in the spiritual process......death, dark night of the soul, ego death, a purging of all that was you.....there are pitfalls to this process, traps and snars that we fall into. the trick is to keep moving forward or to make sure that you are not trapping yourself in this process.
our culture certainly has major issues with death. As you said, it is merely a transition process... I think much more more a release than it is a punishment. I for one, greatly look forward to it.
yes yes also magnesium and b-12 the b vitamin family.......as well as exercise which rewires the brain....walks, spending time with friends or people.....
I totally know the feeling Miles. I call it emotional shell shock when pertaining to me. For me the feeling is like a thin veneer over everything blocking all my emotions...happiness, sadness, and all of the other emotions and making me stop looking forward to the future and even looking back, for that matter. Just one big blah...sounds like you are there too for the moment. For me I think it is an aftermath of losing three of my family members (parents and son) back to back and plunging headlong into a depression of grief and not being able to deal with it all..I just shrunk back into a shell and am still trying to break out. I also think that a lot of people who totally believed in 2012 ascention got totally disappointed and so sad when that did not occur. I call that New Age depression, and I think a lot of people are going through that too, disillusionment with broken hopes, kind of feeling like a kid for who Santa did not come at Christmas, Joy filled promises of a grand and glorious escape from the angry hurtful world followed by a big let down is bound to be hard on sensitive peoples emotions...Maybe that is a tiny part of your delema, I don't know but a lot of my friends are still trying to cope with the let down and seem to have just given up hope and all interest in things. Whatever it is that is causing your feelings, know that it will get better. I find if I think about how numb I feel then it just intensifies because I worry about why I feel that way, and the worry about it makes it worse, so I just plunge into something and do it, set a goal, even a small one and accomplish it by whatever it takes, even if it is only something mundane like cleaning the house or mowing the yard, I just think about doing it and make it happen and while I am doing it I am not thinking about how I feel. While I am doing things I am not thinking about how blah I feel and that helps some. Don't know if anything I said makes any sense at all...Just know that I am here for you my friend, and I care, always have, and if you ever just feel like talking you know where to email me, I am only a keystroke away.
I would agree on the new age depression. i think the thing is to keep working on our own spiritual process and realize people will come and go and say this and say that but this journey we are on is our own and it is personal and sacred. regardless is santa never comes because we are our own santa......also to align ourselves with people who are living this sort of life.......people who are walking with spirit and living with spirit and giving and serving humanity......then it is real when we are supported like that
I have to agree with this in many ways. Although there are people who we meet along the way, I think that ultimately, we are alone on this path in life. It's a shame that is so difficult to meet like minded spiritual people in everyday life.
..Drax....Dont Worry....Your Doin Alright......Im Getting This Feeling ......At The Moment.....Go With It..... I Know Its Shit But.....You Get Thro It.....<3.............Hugs Bro......xx.....
Thanks Sky... I appreciate your sentiment - every little bit helps.
Are you referring to the distraction of my book? I'm not quite finished yet, but it is getting there. I hope things do start to change soon... its been too long like this.
Regarding your question... yes it does feel a little bit like that... what is it?
Thanks for the Mikeil, it was very informative.
