Spiritual awakening / a good definition

The other night I heard a funny definition of what a spiritual awakening is.

I was watching a TV show called Wonderfalls. The main character (who has had a kind of spiritual awakening) is telling a friend what it is like.

She said:
“Basically, it’s like constantly having the universe tell you (main character grabs her
Friend’s hand and starts smacking her with it) why are you hitting yourself, stop
Hitting yourself, why are you hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself?”

This made me laugh and smile because it touches on the truth. All of the drama and pain that I took so seriously, the vast majority of it was self created. It’s kind of like standing around smacking yourself in the face.
