 In the old days, the Saints would purify and then awaken. With the energy in the world of today, many are having a spontaneous awakening experience, sometimes called a sudden awakening, and then go through the purification process.

Enlightenment Itself mostly evolves from conscious spiritual practice and living in the present moment mindfully after a sudden awakening.

Yet someone who is a seriously ripe practitioner realizes from the instant of that awakening, that enlightenment doesn't really exist, as there is no ONE to be unenlightened. There is truly only Self.

You are beyond the concept and belief of God right now in this instant, and since you are That, you have unlimited power and potential to realize Self.
