What in the Blazing Cosmos Is Going On With Me?!
Introduction
Acknowledge the confusion ND folks often face:
First things first, welcome! Now that we have gotten the not-so-subtle introduction out of the way, let's see what we can do about acknowledging the confusion that ND folks constantly bump into: the overwhelm, the hyperawareness, the sensing of things that no one else seems to feel—and wondering, 'Where in the blazing cosmos did that come from?' You're not alone. And this? This barely scratches the surface. Let’s dig deeper.
Quick explanation:
Let’s get a few things straight. I don’t teach from a clinical, sterilized, mass-approval-friendly space. I teach from a place of fire, friction, and devil’s-advocate realness.
Neurodivergence is not a defect. And spiritual sensitivity? Not delusion. What’s really happening (in my opinion) is this: people are deeply uncomfortable with the intuitive abilities we carry—because for centuries, knowing, seeing, and feeling beyond the veil got folks labeled heretics. Burned. Banished. Society still fears what it can’t control. We’ve been conditioned to only trust what’s tangible, provable, boxed and categorized. But I’m here to remind you: it’s not just okay to know beyond the physical—it’s necessary. The world needs people like us. People who FEEL, SEE, and SAY what others suppress.
Reframe:
Your brain isn’t broken—it’s tuned differently. And probably wired for more, not less. You’ve likely been told you’re too much, too sensitive, too intense. That what you feel isn’t real. That you’re crazy. Maybe someone close to you even whispered, 'Don’t talk like that in public, people will think you're nuts.' Sound familiar? We aren’t crazy—we’re tuned in. But because our society doesn’t understand sensitivity or subtle energy, it tries to medicate, mute, and dismiss us. I’ve had enough of it. You’re not here to be fixed. You’re here to fix the system. To disrupt the stale, stagnant structures. To upset the mediocre balance that’s been accepted for too long.
Section 1: What is Neurodivergence, Really?
Clinical Definition (but make it make sense)
Neurodivergence is a non-medical umbrella term that refers to variations in the human brain and nervous system — how we process information, feel, focus, perceive time, relate to others, and experience the world. It originated in the autistic community but now includes many diagnostic labels such as:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – sensory processing differences, emotional intensity, pattern recognition, social difficulties, need for structure or routine.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – nonlinear focus (hyperfocus or scatterbrain), time blindness, restlessness, impulsivity, boredom sensitivity.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – intrusive thoughts, compulsions to create control or order, heightened anxiety when rituals are disrupted.
Dyslexia – difficulty with reading or written language, but often with strong 3D/visual-spatial or narrative intelligence.
Dyscalculia – difficulty understanding numbers, symbols, or sequences; patterns and logic can feel reversed or scrambled.
Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder) – challenges with motor coordination, physical tasks, and often sensory overload.
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) – intense resistance to demands, even internal ones; high anxiety with control perceived as being taken away.
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) – over- or under-responsiveness to sensory stimuli like sound, light, touch, etc.
Tourette Syndrome – motor or vocal tics that come in bursts, sometimes involuntarily.
Synesthesia – when senses blend, like tasting colors, hearing textures, or seeing sounds.
Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) – not a medical diagnosis, but often included in ND discussions: deep empathy, overstimulation, emotional intensity.
NOTE: Many ND folks are multiply neurodivergent. You could be autistic and ADHD. Or dyslexic and synesthetic. This isn't uncommon — in fact, it's very common.
Reframing: Not Broken — Just Built Differently
Let’s be real: the system treats neurodivergent folks as “wrong,” “broken,” or “needing to be corrected.” But from a spiritual lens? These are often soul codes, not glitches. Signs of being attuned differently — not defectively.
You are not less.
You are not too much.
You are not delusional.
You are built for depth in a shallow system.
ND Traits That Overlap With Spiritual Abilities
Many traits that are pathologized under ND labels are revered in spiritual or intuitive circles. That’s not a coincidence. Here’s a side-by-side breakdown to show the overlap:
ND Trait Spiritual Counterpart Sensory sensitivity (touch, sound, light) Clairsentience (clear feeling) / Empathic perception Pattern recognition Claircognizance (clear knowing) / Seeing energetic codes Deep emotional intensity Emotional intuition, trauma transmutation Time dysregulation / “time blindness” Chrono-sensitivity, accessing timelessness, astral travel Hyperfocus / flow state Channeling, trance states, mediumship Nonlinear thinking Downloads, symbolic thinking, multidimensional cognition Disconnection from social norms Authentic soul alignment; being a “system disruptor” Restlessness / overstimulation Energy overload, Kundalini surges, solar activity sensitivity Synesthesia Multisensory psychic perception (e.g., clairgustance, clairaudience, etc.) Ritualistic behavior / fixation Ancestor memory, soul contracts, sacred practice recall Your Role in This Lifetime May Be to Disrupt. You’re not just here to cope with being different. You’re here to:
Decondition yourself from shame.
Reclaim your wiring as sacred.
Lead others out of the hypnotic sleepwalk of “normal.”
Remember what it means to FEEL deeply, wildly, weirdly — and lead from there.
Section 2: What is Spiritual Sensitivity?
Spiritual sensitivity refers to the heightened ability to perceive what isn’t immediately visible, physical, or logical—what we often call “the subtle realm.” It’s a refined form of perception that lets someone pick up on energies, emotions, frequencies, shifts in timelines, and non-physical communication.
Think: Feeling the tension in a room before anyone speaks, knowing a friend is going to text, or sensing a storm before it hits—without checking the weather app.
Core Traits & Signs of Spiritual Sensitivity:
You might experience:Precognition: Sensing or dreaming something before it happens.
Claircognizance: Suddenly knowing something without being told.
Energetic Resonance: Feeling people’s emotions or energy fields—like absorbing their “vibe.”
Light Language Activation: Speaking/singing tones, syllables, or frequencies that bypass the logical mind but feel deeply familiar or powerful.
Hearing Guides / Inner Dialogue: Receiving insight, guidance, or conversation internally that feels external to your ego or daily thoughts.
Environmental Attunement: Picking up on changes in nature, the collective field, or planetary shifts.
These experiences aren’t "made up" or "extra." They’re indicators of an attuned nervous system and a soul that’s actively perceiving the quantum world.
De-pathologize the “Woo”: Ancient Tech Reactivating
Many cultures around the world have always honored this ability—whether it's called second sight, dreamwalking, divination, channeling, or shamanic perception. What the modern world often brushes off as “woo” is actually ancient human technology that industrial society devalued but never erased.This sensitivity isn't new—it’s coming back online.
We’re not broken.
We’re recalibrating to something older, wilder, and wiser.
And a lot of neurodivergent folks are unknowingly carrying this ancient tech through their very wiring.
Section 3: The Overlap — When ND Meets Spiritual Gnosis
This is where it gets beautifully complex — and beautifully liberating. Neurodivergence and spiritual sensitivity often coexist in the same body. Not by coincidence, but by design. What looks like dysfunction or “disorder” through a clinical lens might, in another context, be ancient wiring tuned for frequencies this world forgot how to name. Let’s explore how the two mirror each other — and where the deeper meaning lies:
Hyper-empathy is a common ND trait — feeling others’ emotions intensely, sometimes to the point of overwhelm or burnout. But telempathy is a spiritual ability: not just feeling for someone, but feeling as someone — momentarily receiving their projected emotional frequency, memory, or pain imprint.
What if you’re not “too sensitive”... you’re just reading an emotional transmission your body wasn’t trained to interpret?
Sensory overwhelm or energetic attunement? Both? Bright lights, loud sounds, chaotic spaces — ND folks often report sensory overload. Spiritually sensitive folks often report the same. But what if, in some cases, the “overstimulation” isn’t just from sensory input... but from the energetic dissonance of a space or person?
You're not overreacting — you're accurately reacting to something most people have numbed out of awareness.
Time blindness vs multidimensional awareness. Many neurodivergent people struggle with time in a linear sense — being “late,” losing track of time, or hyperfocusing into timelessness. Spiritually sensitive people report accessing the “now” across timelines, jumping between future visions, past lives, and parallel realities.
What if what you call “time blindness” is actually time fluency?
Rejection sensitivity vs karmic residue or soul contracts. ND folks often experience Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria — deep emotional pain in response to perceived rejection or criticism. But on a spiritual level, this can also stem from past life wounds, karmic entanglements, or soul-level contracts around abandonment, betrayal, or exile.
Your pain might not just be yours — it could be ancient, and it's surfacing now to complete the lesson.
Executive dysfunction or soul retrieval-in-progress? When your brain “won’t let you” start the thing, remember the steps, or finish the task… it’s frustrating. But spiritually? These moments can signal fragmentation — parts of you that are still returning, integrating, or refusing to move because the direction is misaligned.
You’re not lazy. You’re waiting on your wholeness to catch up.
Bottom Line:
Neurodivergence and spiritual sensitivity aren’t two separate paths — they often walk hand-in-hand. The labels of dysfunction may actually point us to the portals of deeper awareness. When we decode them through both lenses — the nervous system and the soul — we stop pathologizing ourselves and start reclaiming our design.
Section 4: You’re Not Broken — You’re Processing Multidimensional Data
Core Intent of this Section:
What is often labeled as "dysfunction" in the neurotypical world may actually be your system responding appropriately to energetic overload, misaligned environments, or multidimensional signals.
Reframe: "Dysfunction" → Energetic Calibration:
ND behaviors often look like system crashes, meltdowns, or shutdowns. Spiritually, these could be seen as energetic recalibrations — moments where your body, mind, and field are integrating or rejecting non-resonant data. Think of it as downloading more information than a standard bandwidth can handle — it’s not a malfunction, it’s too much data, too fast. ND folks often feel like we’re “malfunctioning” — maybe it’s the system that’s broken, not us.
Sacred rage, sacred numbness, sacred shutdowns — all valid. These are not “issues” to fix — they’re intelligent responses:
Sacred Rage: Activates inauthenticity detection or boundary violations — often tied to injustices and collective healing.
Sacred Numbness: A protective shield during overwhelm — your system creating space to process later.
Sacred Shutdowns: When your soul pulls the plug on external input — you’re being re-centered or re-booted.
"You’re Not Malfunctioning. The System Is."
ND folks often struggle in rigid, linear, high-stimulation environments — not because we’re defective, but because we’re sensitive to misalignment. Spiritually, this looks like being allergic to distortion, dissonance, or environments lacking authenticity, integrity, or coherence. You’re sensing the “matrix glitches” others are still asleep to. That’s a strength, not a weakness.
ND Traits as Multidimensional Skillsets
ND “Label” Multidimensional Reframe Sensory Overload You’re tuned to higher frequencies Executive Dysfunction Your inner compass resists false urgency Non-linear thinking You perceive nonlinear timelines Intense emotionality You’re decoding emotional energy grids Trouble with focus You’re jumping dimensions, not just tasks
Section 5: Grounding Without Dimming
Core Message:
You don’t need to shrink to be grounded. Grounding isn’t about silencing your sensitivity — it’s about stabilizing your power so you can move through the world without burning out, masking, or spiritually bypassing.
Tactics for protecting energy without spiritually bypassing or masking:
Boundaries ≠ Barriers
Boundaries are flexible, responsive, and protective — they let your true self remain present while filtering out static. Barriers are rigid walls built from fear or survival — they shut down your light along with the noise. Practice intuitive boundary setting: “What’s mine to carry right now, and what isn’t?”
Regulate, Don’t Gaslight
Spiritual gaslighting sounds like:
“You just need to raise your vibration.”
“If you were grounded, you wouldn’t be overwhelmed.”
ND overwhelm isn’t weakness. It’s a data surge. Nervous system regulation honors your limits with compassion. Tools include:
Somatic grounding (weighted blankets, slow rocking, walking barefoot)
Vagus nerve support (humming, deep breaths, cold water)
ND-consistent schedules (rest cycles over rigid routines)
Stimming & Hyperfocus as Sacred Practices
Stimming isn’t “fidgeting” — it’s rhythmic energetic discharge.
Sacred stims = tapping with intention, sound humming, trance spinning, or repetitive gestures that bring comfort or connection.
Hyperfocus is spiritual immersion.
Lean into it as a ritual — set up your space like a temple, light incense, play tones or binaural beats. Let your deep dives be devotional.
Neuro-Spiritual Hygiene Practices
Blending ND tools and spiritual tech creates grounded multidimensional hygiene:
Tool Sacred Function Black tourmaline in your bra EMF shield + energetic root anchor Stim toys on your altar Tactile spellwork + nervous system soothing Color-coded notes/post-its Visual energy grids for clarity Code-switching like a magician Shape-shifting through realities while maintaining energetic sovereignty Sound loops / specific frequencies Sonic purification tailored to ND brainwaves Scripting / echolalia Mantra work in disguise
You Can Be Rooted & Radiant
Grounding isn’t dimming your shine — it’s plugging your soul into a source that can hold all of you. When you honor your ND traits as rituals, not pathologies, you unlock your personal energetic architecture. You don’t have to choose between being “too much” or being safe. You were never too much — you just needed the right ground to stand on.
Section 6: Language, Labels, Liberation
Core Intent of the Section:
Empower you to rethink diagnostic labels and reclaim their language through a spiritual, neurodivergent-friendly lens — with a tone that is affirming, a bit irreverent, and deeply liberating.
The Power of Language in Shaping Reality
Words aren’t neutral—they carry charge, expectation, and programming. Diagnostic terms were created in a clinical model built on deficit and pathology. These labels can feel like spiritual shackles rather than maps of understanding. Language that is dry, sterile, or shame-based disrupts integration.
Tone Tip: Honor the usefulness of diagnoses for validation/accessibility, while showing how limiting they are when used as identity containers.
Why pathologizing can be disempowering
Lets call out the elephant in the room here. “Disorder” implies something is wrong or broken, not just different. Many ND traits are actually spiritual gifts — mislabeled due to ignorance of subtle energy systems. Clinical definitions often ignore culture, context, and cosmic roles. Pathologizing also leads to internalized shame, self-doubt, and masking.
Examples:
OCD labeled as “irrational control” — but what if it’s spiritual gatekeeping or trauma templating?
ADHD framed as “lack of focus” — when it’s actually multi-threaded awareness.
Create Your Own Lexicon
Define yourself instead of being defined.
Language is a spell — use it intentionally and playfully.
Turn diagnoses into encoded spiritual metaphors.
Sarcastic / Empowered Renaming Ideas:
ADHD → Another Dimensional Highway Download
Autism → Authentic Unfiltered Truth In Motion
OCD → Obsessive Cosmic Design
PDA → Powerful Divine Authority (not Pathological Demand Avoidance)
Sensory Processing Disorder → Sacred Perception Dynamics
Invitation: What would you rename your diagnosis to reflect your truth?
Moving from Labels to Liberation
The goal isn’t to discard labels, but to unchain from their limits. Liberation means living with your wiring, not against it. Claim your multidimensional operating system — even if others don’t “get it.”
Mantra Option:
“I’m not a diagnosis. I’m a decoding of divine patterning, uniquely encrypted for this timeline.”
Section 7: Integration — Being Your Own Translator
Core Intent of the Section:
To help neurodivergent souls shift from feeling like broken machines to becoming fluent in their unique inner language — combining the mystical and the mundane in how they move through life.
Your Traits Are Transmissions
What looks like a “quirk” or “glitch” is often just a misread message.
Overwhelm may be your intuitive pause button.
Meltdowns might be energetic release valves.
Stimming = grounding. Hyperfixation = alignment with divine obsession.
Key Message:
Your traits are tools, not traps. They carry intelligence — your job is to decode, not doubt.
From Malfunction to Message
Reframe the question from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What is this trying to tell me?”
Patterns of “procrastination” may actually be deep timing wisdom.
Inability to start something may signal a lack of energetic coherence — not laziness.
Craving routines or rituals may be part of your energetic anchoring process.
Mantra Option:
“My brain isn’t broken — it’s multilingual. I just had to learn the dialect.”
Build Your Custom Translator Toolkit
You need a system that speaks your language — not society’s.
Examples of hybrid spiritual-practical tools:
Pendulum + Google Calendar
Tarot spread + Notion dashboard
Voice notes + Sticky notes on the bathroom mirror
Tracking your flow cycles with moon phases and ADHD app timers
Empowerment Point:
You get to combine intuitive hits with executive functioning support — no need to “pick a lane.”Embrace Your Sacred Flow Cycles
You don’t work in linear time. You work in energy spirals.
Integration looks different for everyone — yours might look like:
Hyperfocus for 5 hours and rest for 2 days.
10 minutes of deep focus followed by movement breaks.
Spontaneous sprints instead of scheduled checklists.
Sacred Reminder:
You’re not inconsistent. You’re a pattern that hasn’t been named yet.
You Are Your Own Interpreter
No coach, guru, or expert can translate your soul’s system like you can.
Integration is radical trust: listening when your body says stop, when your heart says start, and when your brain says “we need a visual.”
Closing Statement Idea:
“To integrate is to listen. To listen is to honor. And to honor is to finally walk in a rhythm that belongs to you.”
Conclusion: You Are Not Too Much — You’re Just Multilayered AF
Core Message:
To close the journey with empowerment, integration, and radical self-acceptance — reframing neurodivergence and spiritual sensitivity as high-caliber tools, not heavy burdens. This is a final reclamation of the your right to live, perceive, and move through life on your own damn terms.
Reframing: You're Not Too Much — the World Just Reads in One Dimension
The intensity of your perceptions doesn’t make you broken — it makes you tuned.
You don’t take in “too much.” You take in more — because you were built for depth.
Sensory overload, emotional floods, intuitive downloads — these aren’t weaknesses. They’re signs of a multilayered operating system running at full capacity.
Truth Bomb:
You’re not overreacting. You’re overreceiving.
Affirmation: Being neurodivergent and spiritually sensitive is not a curse — it’s a map to your purpose.
Affirmation Activation:
“Being neurodivergent and spiritually sensitive is not a curse — it’s a map to my purpose.”
Ways to embed it:
Say it aloud every time you catch yourself apologizing for how you process.
Write it where you plan your week.
Make it your screensaver or altar message.
Pair it with a sigil or somatic gesture (like hand to heart or crown tap).
Call to Power: Reclaim It All
Reclaim your perception:
You don’t need validation to trust what you see, sense, or feel. What the world calls “delusional,” your guides might call visionary.
Reclaim your pace:
Rest is not a break from your purpose — it’s part of it. Speed does not equal success. Depth is its own frequency of momentum.
Reclaim your portals:
Your sensitivities open doorways into realms most people are too dulled to notice. Your triggers, your tics, your tendencies — these can become thresholds when you stop fighting them and start decoding them.
Closing Invocation: Embrace Your Sensitivity as a Superpower
Let your nervous system be sacred. Let your pace be prophetic. Let your perception be proof.
And most importantly:
Stop outsourcing your truth.
You don’t need permission. You need presence. And you already have that in spades.
