“Sometime during my fifth step I began to have a different feeling about myself. Later, in my one hour of reflection, I deeply thanked God that I knew him better — and then I began to experience that. My life has been forever changed.”
Awakening means you’ve come home to yourself, that consciousness shifted back to its original nature.
— Maria Erving
