It is literally impossible for spiritual evolution to ever be linear because nothing in the fabric of our reality is linear. What goes up must come down, as God doesn’t create straight lines. Everything takes place in cycles. If we were to capture the motion of spiritual evolution, this is what it would look like.

Have you ever wondered why every time you have a spiritual awakening, shortly afterward you start feeling yourself going on a downward spiral, back to phase one or the zero stage? Your vibration drops, your frequency gets low, and you feel like you’re veering off your path, even relapsing. This happens because in order to grow spiritually, that light has to make a complete circle to get to the next level.

When you experience a spiritual awakening, it means you have caught up to your higher self. When you spiritually grow to the point of merging your higher and lower selves, it creates an enlightening effect. During this merging process, a galaxy of your lower self and a galaxy of your higher self create a black hole, a spiral.

When you start spiraling down again, it means you’ve connected with your higher self. To reach the next degree of learning, your vibration has to lower so that your lower self can be purified by the high vibrations of your higher self. Your higher self extends down to match the frequency of your lower self, and vice versa. This allows your higher and lower selves to merge, creating a new reality—another black hole—leading to the next plane of existence.

Feeling negative or low after a spiritual awakening is just an aftereffect necessary for progress. What goes up must come down, and this pattern continues over and over. As you vibrate lower, you simultaneously vibrate higher, leading to spiritual black holes that open up new higher planes of existence and degrees of enlightenment.

Don’t think you’re on the wrong path or that you’re not fulfilling your purpose when you feel low vibrational or when things seem to be going wrong. Everything happens for a reason. Your higher self has to lower its vibration so that your lower self can experience enlightenment, allowing both to move to the next plane of existence together.

Your higher self must “die” in order for your lower self to be reborn and evolve. This constant cycle of birth, death, rebirth, expansion, and collapsing is essential for spiritual growth. There is no such thing as a spiritual fall; what you can do is pause your growth. It’s okay to have moments of stillness, but don’t stay stuck. Use those moments to regroup, ground yourself, and continue walking your path.

Humanity is destined for perfection. Our souls will continue to purify our spirits endlessly. Embrace the cyclical nature of spiritual evolution, knowing that each downward spiral is just a step towards greater enlightenment and higher planes of existence.
