Just so people understand the difference.... Spiritual Awakening / Awareness is doing the all the messy work to fully integrate all Knowledge learned. If this is done properly one will come to understanding, then by direct experience transmute that into Wisdom...a living philosophy, then comes realization—the "Knowing" and "Being" , finding "The Way", living in alignment with the universal truth.

Spiritual Psychosis / Dissociation and fragmentation of Consciousness looks like this: Take a course on Reiki or various modalities focused on healing work, attempting to fire up the Kundalini or other esoteric work, tarot, divination, magic, etc to awaken dormant energies without the proper foundation and things can set fire quickly , Mania and other side effects, etc. The ah ha moment so profound that one splits from their old identity on a huge ego trip thinking they are special or "The one" and begin teaching, sharing, "shouting from the rooftops" etc without the experience needed which does much more harm than good. Without meditation, deeper understanding of universal principles and an understanding of the subconscious vs conscious levels, one can get swept away quickly. It is the same thing you see with organized cults and religious ecstasy , one becomes overwhelmed through various techniques, speaking in tongues or "light language" and other effects. Other examples are seen with the rise in popularity of plant medicine - so many take it and then almost automatically are now on mission to heal the planet and others while bypassing many things. This work blows open your astral / energy body and can result in attachments or issues without proper foundation. The real work is to fully heal & integrate - this takes years of work. It is advised to do the deeper work gently and with full personal responsibility. Face the shadow and transmute the vices into virtues. Many get lost in experiences and then project that distortion into this reality believing you are Starseeds / Galactic federation, Aliens, Channelers...etc. This is usually astral level stuff and is scratching the surface of discarnate beings / intelligences that do like to toy with humans. The highs can swing on the pendulum so high vibrational, that one disconnects from the work to be done and starts to disassociate with physical reality. Sometimes people go completely manic, fall into deep depression, etc. Beware the Conspiracy rabbit holes....while truth is to be found here, many are distractions, many get lost and go mad chasing half truths, most of what is out there is splintered, the evil of these acts can break the mind alone, it can shatter the sense of self, the world, etc. Focus on your inner work. That is how we save the world. Each one. The work to be done is the Awakening of Consciousness, YOUR Consciousnss....the only thing to be saved is Yourself. Only by doing this can you truly help others and the world. Projecting that outward without doing the work distorts the manifestation and creates more suffering. There are no shortcuts. Seek within, to see beyond. Each light that sparks shines brighter in the world.

Most suffering is caused by our addiction to the sensate level / material world and the inability to discern right action and living from survival mode. When they released "The Secret" for example, and told you to build a vision board of all your material desires , think about the distortion in the field of consciousness projected by people who have no foundation at all....just hey - I'm gonna "manifest"... We are manifesting continuously, it is the nature of this reality, you just have not learned to focus your attention beyond the basic material needs....the shift into higher awareness....Pray for the peace that passes understanding, learn to have faith and believe in yourself and understand how consciousness flows. Learn to meditate and go within - this is where the real magic happens. The vision board is base level of the game. The money and abundance you are seeking will not fill the emptiness...that is done through the spiritual work. Seek it first, then all things shall be added.
