"Spiritual awakening is a remembering. It is not becoming something that we are not. It is not about transforming ourselves. It is not about changing ourselves. It is a remembering of what we are, as if we’d known it long ago and had simply forgotten.
At the moment of this remembering, if the remembering is authentic, it’s not viewed as a personal thing. There is really no such thing as a ‘personal’ awakening, because ‘personal’ would imply separation. ‘Personal’ would imply that it is the ‘me’ or the ego that awakens or becomes enlightened. But in a true awakening, it is realized very clearly that even the awakening itself is not personal.
It is universal Spirit or universal consciousness that wakes up to itself. Rather than the ‘me’ waking up, what we are wakes up from the ‘me.’ What we are wakes up from the seeker. What we are wakes up from the seeking."
