Has anyone else lost interest in spirituality after a profound experience?

Hey everyone! I’ve noticed something interesting happening in my life lately, and I wanted to share it here. I used to be really into spiritual stuff—meditation, energy healing, all that—but lately, it just doesn’t feel the same. It’s like I’ve lost that connection or interest. I’m not sure why, but it’s been on my mind a lot. I still love learning about the universe and science, though! Discoveries about space or quantum physics still blow my mind. It’s weird because I thought I’d always be into spiritual things, but now I’m just not feeling it. To keep myself busy, I’ve been creating a lot of art and writing songs. It’s been a great way to express myself, and I’m even working on a book. But deep down, I’m still wondering—what’s happening to me? Am I just evolving, or am I losing a part of myself? I’ve been questioning my beliefs a lot. I feel like I might be leaning toward atheism, but I’m not ready to label myself just yet. It’s confusing and a little scary, honestly. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s gone through something similar. How did you handle it? What did you discover about yourself? I guess I’m just trying to figure out who I am now and where I stand. It’s a weird feeling, but I’m open to whatever comes next. Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear your thoughts! 😊

Finding out that someone else has been through a similar situation is oddly comforting. It suggests that this may just be a normal part of the journey we’re on, or perhaps it simply means we’re both a little lazy about it. Either way, it’s nice to know we’re not alone in this, together in this experience, and it gives me hope.

There's something amusing about the way people toss a particular term around like a Frisbee—it seems to happen with countless subjects. It makes me wonder, what exactly does Lao Tzu keep reminding us of? Isn't it something about staying still and knowing? I recall reading his teachings during a quiet evening, and that simple mantra suddenly felt like the answer I was searching for.

Isn't it far more satisfying to embrace the lazy approach? After all, once you truly understand that nothing else matters, the only sensible choice is to sit back and relish the journey. I've found that letting go of constant striving lets the everyday moments become unexpectedly delightful, turning the ride into pure enjoyment.

There you go, everything’s finally sorted out—what’s the next question on your mind? I managed to wrap it up just in time for the stew, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

It’s funny how life can feel so heavy sometimes, as if we’re carrying all our problems around like baggage. But what if that baggage is just stuff we’ve piled on over time, thoughts and worries that aren’t really who we are? I’ve been thinking that maybe everything—even the hard parts—is just consciousness playing out. When I let go of believing I’m only this body or these struggles, something shifts. It’s like clearing away the clutter and remembering there’s a lighter, truer way to live.

You are affected by darkness trying to keep you away from your soul-path.
It is not you yourself having these (negative) thoughts. They are put there by darkness/demons/negative energies that are with you.
Rid yourself of this darkness, and find your genius back. The genius that is you as a pure soul and incredible light being.
The stronger your light shines, the more you will be visited by darkness, hence you will be pulled in deeper by darkness, if you let them.
I hope this helps.
When you have questions, do let me know.
Sending love and light

Thanks for the insight, Sandra—it's kind of you to share! I've pondered that, but my experience feels more like peaceful arrival than darkness. Grateful for your light! 😊

Well, I suppose I should start brainstorming another question—mmm, it looks like I’ve run out of ideas for now. Honestly, I often find myself stuck in that same spot, wondering what to ask next.

TheDarkMuse23

Can anything truly be reborn, and if so, what is it—the ego, the mind, or something else entirely? I find the notion of reincarnation hard to accept, and the idea of an immortal soul feels equally implausible to me. I used to hold both concepts dear, but years of reading philosophy and confronting personal loss have left me questioning their validity, and I now sit with a lingering doubt.

TheDarkMuse23

I’ve been reflecting on what we really are, beneath all the thoughts and habits we’ve picked up over the years. It seems like our true self is this quiet, peaceful presence—just pure Being. But we often get so wrapped up in our minds, in that constant stream of thoughts and reactions, that we mistake that noise for who we are. That noisy part feels so real, but maybe it's just a temporary pattern of energy, shaped by everything we’ve learned and experienced.

When I cling to that noisy identity, it really shapes how I see everything. It can feel limiting, like I'm wearing a mask I forgot I put on. But there's something reassuring about noticing the difference—between that conditioned personality and the quiet essence underneath. It’s like beginning to gently peel away layers that aren’t really me, which somehow makes everything feel lighter and more authentic.

It’s funny how some people seem to lose interest in the big questions once they feel like they’ve got it all figured out. Like they’ve landed on some final answer about pure Being or reality, and that’s that — case closed. For me, curiosity isn’t just a phase; it’s kind of the whole point. I don’t feel like I’ve got enough understanding to just settle down and call it a day! Maybe there’s comfort in feeling satisfied, but I’d rather keep wondering, keep poking at things. Otherwise, what’s left? A fixed viewpoint that just sits there, gathering dust. Let the mystery hang around a little longer, I say!

Absolutely! That's precisely what I intend to do throughout the entire period, and I'm determined to follow through without hesitation.

Honestly, I used to devour every lecture and mantra I could find, thinking the more I absorbed the closer I’d get to truth. But after years of chanting, retreats, and endless guru videos, I started feeling like I was watching a show rather than learning anything real. The teachers in India often seem more interested in the spotlight than the silence behind it, and I realized my curiosity was being fed by their drama, not by genuine insight. So I stepped back, stopped collecting certificates, and began sitting with plain silence. The real stuff shows up when the performance ends, and that feels way more honest! 🙂

SapphireEarth

Haha, watch out—if you’re not careful, you might catch yourself pretending you don’t need to watch or be part of any performance. I’ve noticed this tendency in myself when I try to claim I’m indifferent, only to end up staging an elaborate act to prove the point.

Just a Ride – Jem. Here’s the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqmW03_XbXQ. I can’t stop shouting “weeeee!” as the track lifts me into pure, unstoppable joy.

Just a ride... I think the daring, insightful comedian Bill Hicks captures this perfectly—watch his brilliant three‑minute summary. The clip really makes you pause and reflect on the absurdities we accept daily. http://youtu.be/iMUiwTubYu0

I’ve always assumed that experiencing periods of low motivation is normal, almost like taking a temporary break. I’ve read countless posts from people stuck in ruts, convinced they’ve completely lost their drive, and searching desperately for a spark to reignite it.

TheDarkMuse23

Haha, sure, that can happen, but I can’t guarantee any magical miracles to spark your interest. In my experience, a little patience and humor go a long way, and maybe a shared laugh or two can help break the ice.

Has anyone ever sensed that once you truly understand you are the entirety of what exists, there’s little point in forcing yourself onto a predetermined path? It feels as though the whole notion of “going somewhere” loses its meaning when the realization dawns that you already embody everything there is.

I’m not trying to frame the question in a negative way; rather, I’m curious whether this perspective resonates with anyone else. If the answer is simply “yes,” perhaps we can explore why the drive to move forward persists even when the destination seems to be the present moment itself.

I’ve experienced this myself on several occasions. After long periods of introspection, I reached a point where the usual ambition to achieve the next milestone felt hollow. Instead of chasing another goal, I chose to sit with the awareness that I am already complete, and that shift in mindset has been both unsettling and liberating.
