Spiritual Awakening is the profound experiential realizing of one's true nature, from the illusory trance of apparent separation and egoic identification which most beings are involved. Enlightenment generally means the stabilized living from that state. Enlightenment is not some state that is achieved. It is simply the realization of one's natural state, one's very true nature, that has always been here - the ONENESS OF BEING (though that term hardly describes the actual thing).
