Breaking Though the Stigma
From the beginning of time, all cultures in one way or another have utilized metaphysical practices. Prophets, seers, and healers have played a large role in shaping societies and various religions throughout history.
Shamanism has been regarded as one of the world’s oldest religions. Evidence of shamanic practice have been found in Paleolithic cave art which was practiced by many different cultures and still is today. The Ancient Egyptians had healers or swnws, as well as oracles who were highly regarded in their society and were considered part of the ‘upper class’. Even Christianity has its share of metaphysical practices and believe in prophets and those who can energetically heal the sick. However, just as long as there have been metaphysical practices, there has always been some level of persecution of them.
As time went on and the world’s population grew, so did the need to conquer new lands. With that came colonization and religious wars that brutally forced those inhabiting the land to conform to new beliefs. This eventually grew into the current stigma around spirituality as many of us lost the connection to our own natural intuitive abilities.
Collectively, we have been conditioned against spirituality as we may assume that we are unworthy of such abilities or it may contradict our belief system, while others may have the perception that it is all just a ‘scam’. Though, once we open ourselves up to it, we realize that spirituality is a unique experience for everyone, and it is indeed about the evolution of self: self-discovery, self-awareness, self-healing, and self-empowerment. As we develop those strengths further and overcome the guilt or fear that tends block us, we begin to live in resonance with our natural state as this is truly how we are meant to be.
Breakthrough
Today, more and more people are breaking through the old programing and coming into a more mindful state of consciousness. In our modern world of technology, spirituality and all its modalities is fast becoming more acceptable in our society and for some, a large part of everyday life. However, there has still been no place for spiritual evolution as a greater community. Spirituality for the most part, has been watered down to mere trends on social media and driven by who can get the most ‘views’.
As history tells us, a few bad apples do spoil the bunch. Authentic practitioners are often drowned out by the noise of those who are looking to cash in on the social trend. This makes it difficult to know where to go to get true guidance and who we can genuinely trust, until now. EvolvMe Online Spiritual Community and Marketplace aims to change the stigma and fear around metaphysical modalities and bring spirituality back into an honest well-respected practice.
EvolvMe was founded on the principals of empowering the masses to help each of us realize our own true potential. Our mission is to facilitate personal enlightenment for all who seek it, by providing the tools and resources needed to build on their spiritual growth. We believe it is important to have one cohesive nurturing community connecting well-vetted practitioners from a myriad of spiritual practices with those looking to explore their own spirituality.
We have started a movement of connectedness that has a worldwide reach. No longer do we need to traverse our lives in confusion or false notions about spirituality. We can come together, share our gifts, and learn with others who have similar experiences.
Learning to Grow
The community behind the EvolvMe platform has an advantage in that we now have the ability to both teach and learn from others instantly across the world. With such easy access to others with different backgrounds, the potential impact of a unified spiritual space is limitless. We believe that personal enlightenment is a journey that each of us experience differently. Depending on your culture, history, or religion – the way you experience spirituality will be inherently unique to you. While personal enlightenment is a journey that each person experiences differently, we can create space for change and growth by combining and evolving our differences.
