"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall\xa0awake, some\xa0to\xa0everlasting life, and some\xa0to\xa0shame\xa0and\xa0everlasting contempt."\xa0\u2015Daniel 12:2\nAwakening is a popular term used in spiritual circles, but what does it really mean? Rather than rely on vague, incongruent, ambiguous and self-contradictory explanations, it is best to rely on one's own conscious experience in conjunction with the scriptures. This lecture explores the basis of genuine spirituality: positive awakening through the soul's liberation from suffering and its subsequent development of virtue, and its opposite: negatively awakening through strengthening the conditions of the mind and the deepening of pain.
