Breaking Spiritual Amnesia: How to Awaken Your True Self in Midlife
End the forgetting and rediscover your authentic divine nature for a life of compassion and unity.
Many adults live with a profound spiritual amnesia — a forgetting of their divine origin and true identity. James Hollis highlights this as a core issue that the second half of life calls us to address.
This forgetting creates an illusion of separation and fuels the ego’s defenses, leading to loneliness, fear, and endless striving. Awakening involves remembering and embodying the True Self beyond ego.
The process is gradual and often challenging, requiring us to release false identities and embrace paradox, uncertainty, and mystery. The reward is profound compassion, unity consciousness, and authentic living.
Breaking spiritual amnesia is the ultimate homecoming — a return to wholeness where freedom, joy, and love abide eternally.
