Maybe there are as many definitions of spiritual awakening
as there are people who have had them.
But certainly a genuine one
has something in common with all the others.
And these things which they have in common
are not too hard to understand.
When a man or a woman has a spiritual awakening,
the most important meaning of it
is that he has now become able to do, feel, and believe
that which he could not do before
on his unaided strength and resources alone.
He has been granted a gift which amounts to a new state
of consciousness and being...
In a very real sense he has been transformed.
