The benefits of satori, or spiritual awakening, are many. Foremost is the sense of profound freedom and inner peace gained by identifying with one's true nature. Feelings of wholeness, completion, perfection and invulnerability are common when one attains spiritual enlightenment. Feelings of loneliness and isolation melt away. Guilt and blame give way to feelings of self-absolution and forgiveness. Empowerment comes from harnessing the Universe to achieve one's goals and dreams.
