I believe Awakening means to wake up to reality. The reality is that we are being controlled by our personality. Our personality and the way that we think comes from our conditioning. What is conditioning? When we are born we are free from thoughts or worries. Before we enter our mother’s womb we are loving light and energy. As we grow we learn from our family and our surroundings. We are born into different origins; American, Spanish, Chinese, Indian, etc. We’re taught different beliefs or religions that give us our personality. This is conditioning. We live our life according to our conditioning. Once we wake up to this reality we can take the next step to become awakened.     Yolanda Sing
