Awakening vs Religion

Religion often provides structure, belief, and community. Awakening, however, is personal and experiential—it transcends belief. You can awaken within a religious path or outside one. Awakening isn’t about subscribing to a dogma; it’s about direct connection to awareness, truth, and presence. Many people outgrow rigid systems in their awakening journey, while others reinterpret their faith through a more expansive lens.
