Great content. Glad to see what they said about "twin flames." Shortly after Lindsey passed I was preyed upon by a seller of that concept. Thankfully, after a few weeks I discerned that I was being manipulated and broke from her clutches. I describe all that here https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/my-experiential-based-take-on-the-twin-flame-soulmate-concept-a8553dbf4d25. The AAs messaging on this matter reflects my experience and those of others I cite and quote in my essay.

I also appreciate them saying that awakening means different things to different people and can happen in many ways. In one of my early Medium works, I went into all that in detail, citing and quoting others as well as going into details of my awakening, integration and alignment, a process that continues to this day and will continue until this cycle ends. https://medium.com/illumination-curated/100s-of-stories-about-spiritual-awakening-no-one-seems-to-discuss-the-difficult-and-crucial-e896617b5082

subtitled "Becoming whole again, integrating my mind, body, and soul, was an intellectual challenge. Once whole, alignment is a life-long project measured in the ebbs and flows of spiritual progress."

Patrick Paul Garlinger wrote an excellent article last year directly on point wth yours today:

https://medium.com/change-your-mind/can-we-let-go-of-these-3-spiritual-words-in-2022-16708e2d186c (quantum, alechemy, twin flame and a bonus word, manifestation) and this one the year before https://medium.com/change-your-mind/can-we-let-go-of-these-3-spiritual-words-in-2022-16708e2d186c (ascension, sovereignty, vibrational frequency, and tribe--he also quibbles with the way many, not you are the AAs, use the word 5D)

Interesting that they stayed away from discussing the word enlightenment, a pet peeve of mine. More enlightened, I get an not that anyone cares, I approve of. But achieving enlightenment I believe is a false promise sold by profiteers. My understanding of enlightenment equates with nirvana and my understanding is that is acheived by rare souls, not ever by humans, after numbers of life cycles so vast that there is nothing left for a soul to learn and they can't ascend any higher in "heaven."
