More and more people are "waking up" during this Time of Transition, and many of us want to wake up others. But what is a true awakening? What does it entail? In this episode, Laura and Bernhard discuss the three different types of awakening: informational, psychological, and spiritual. They talk about the traps of getting stuck in an informational, intellectual awakening, how to wake up others (and the pitfalls of trying to wake up others), how an awakening impulse can easily get hijacked and disrupted, how it relates to the three different stages of evolution, and much more.
