Spiritual Awakening

Me : What does Spiritual Awakening mean ? 

Voice : Its coming to one's own being. 

Me : Thats it ??   

Voice : Thats it. 

Me : Simple huh. 

Voice : Simple. And its taking lifetimes for you to get there.    

Me : Simplicity...... hasn't been our thing, right ?  

Voice : Its a familiar pattern. 

Me :  Is this current upheaval finally the Spiritual Awakening of mankind ?  

Voice : Do you think an Awakening is a matter of getting up from your bed one morning and finding yourself Illuminated ? Did you think everyone is on some 'spiritual awakening timeframe' ? Do you think Awakening is only for mankind ? Or is Awakening a button to switch on ?  

Spiritual Awakening is a matter of journey. Lifetimes of journey. It is not a single defined moment. Past preparedness brings you to a time where you can either live or lead an inevitable transformation of your world. Remember, all life in creation is a part of evolution, not just mankind. What has always been a part of Divine Truth, is simply gaining collective strength now. 

The journey of Awakening depends on how deep is your slumber. For an analogy, consider a situation where people purchase tickets and hop onto a bus. When the bus begins its journey, the passengers fall asleep. As the bus-stop approaches close, the conductor attempts to wake you up. Depending on how deep your slumber is, he may resort to just a whisper, gentle tap, a hard nudge or he may forcefully shake you up, so that you wake-up to alight at your stop.

Here, the bus represents your life, the bus-stop is life's goal, the bus conductor is Hand of Divinity, the act of waking you up is the awakening process, and the bus ticket represents your connection with Divinity. 
Importantly, the bus ticket guarantees you a ride in the first place. 

Me : Beautiful. So, are we being forcefully shaken up by the 'bus conductor' right now ?

Voice : Its a gentle tap.

Me : You call this world crisis a gentle tap ???

Voice : You call yourself awakened ?
