What does it mean to have an awakening of the soul? We often hear someone telling us, “I just had an awakening” when what they really meant was that: they had a breakdown. Is an awakening related to a breakdown? If so, why do we needed to have a breakdown first before we can have an awakening?
To awaken means to be fully awake – quite the literal meaning. On a deeper meaning though, to have an awakening, specifically a soul’s awakening is to have a deeper than ‘wake-up call’ that we were not who we thought we were, and so, we had a breakdown.
