Deep dives

The Journey of Awakening

The discussion highlights the transformative journey of Kieran Trace, who experienced a spontaneous awakening in 2005 without any prior spiritual training. Initially rooted in a secular and traumatized upbringing, she was unprepared for the profound shift in perception that occurred when she realized the nature of her existence. The awakening unfolded dramatically, with moments of experiencing vast emptiness followed by compassion for her own human experience. This process was not instantaneous; instead, it took her ten years to integrate this profound change, allowing her to understand and embrace both her trauma and her newfound awareness.
