Liberation is the reality behind awakening.
Without liberation (awareness), there could be no awakening.
The awakening is just part of the ongoing story of me awakening to my true nature.
In that sense awakening is "personal", still part of the unfolding.
Even though awakening happens to no one.
It still appears as part of an ongoing story.
The awakening may be thought of as the meeting place of the story and the isness of the moment.
However there is nothing about liberation that is personal.
It simply is.
... recognizing that the difference between awakening and liberation is a matter of vibrational speed.
Liberation is of the highest vibration and completely free, awakening and the story thereof is lower and still somewhat attached to form, to time, to story.
