Best Answer

Enlightenment and the great awakening, both are the same. When you awaken, you are enlightened, and when you are enlightened you are awakened. Who awakens? What awakens? The truth inside you. What is enlightenment? Overcoming the darkness that is within and throwing light on who we truly are, the Divine Soul, the Spirit, the Atman. Therefore, enlightenment and the great awakening are two different terms, but they mean one and the same thing.

How is the Enlightenment similar to the Great awakening?

enlightenment is similar to the Great Awakening because Great Awakening is a movement and so as enlightenment and they are both around 1700s. Actually I Do Believe that Is indeed true, although The Great Awakening Was A Big Part of "Spiritual RELIGION", and The Enlightenment Was Focused On The Physics Of Science, In which was Fairly Different Because There is Based Question's On How we were Really Born Onto Earth. Many people can answer that In A Flash, and other's may say we don't know the answer yet. Why is that? Well The People that can answer that in A snap have a religious answer such as "Well Adam and Eve Were the first humans (As to which I believe is indeed true since I am more into the religious side), and God Created us, and the animals e.t.c;" Scientifically Proven answers..No one has. So to Be honest There is Hardly Any Similarities, in which someone would say Makes a difference or moves anyone's point of view or philosophy. The only similarities there is Was they were Highly Important, and made a difference in our life and society and yes they were in the 1700's..you Didn't help People Much Just saying -_- and I am Just an 8th grader.....
