Awakening is difficult for me to explain. Although I still try! Today I see it as being a most natural process that was happening within me but as it was happening I honestly had no clue! And as it turned out I realized I was not the human being I thought I was. I am a beloved child of God, as we all are in reality!
My awakening probably began 25 years or so ago to begin in an idea of a "story." I know the term now, but early on I didn't understand anything, to be honest!
So, I just noticed my life was different, like I couldn't accept myself anymore, meaning like I was just questioning everything and feeling like much misery but also didn't want to accept the miserableness nor the advise I was hearing about what to do for myself about it.
I still can't recall any specific incident about awakening, but more of a gradualness. And with, say self seeking and recognsizing healing within myself, this too, gradually became more identifiable to me. To say, ok, now I see! Yes!
