Can you ever go back to being the same person again?

Yes and nope. No going back.
But isn't that the whole point?
You go girl. Straight ahead. No looking back.
You don't really have to think to much about this s***.
You already know.

this is a good question, it's a shame that you're getting such cheezy answers.
emotional awakenings i think are a part of growing up, getting older. people can either take these awakenings and progress with them or they can ignore them and regress. but if you do take them and run, no i don't believe that you can go back to being the same person again. it's like the Matrix (okay, maybe i'm getting cheezy now) you only know so much until you realize something else, an awakening. being the same person again would be like going back to sleep-you know better, but you do the opposite or are the opposite anyway. even if you do choose that route, you're still not the same, because you are aware of it. the person you used to be was not.

My emotional awakening had to be my pregnancy and the birth of my son. Before that I was a huge party animal. I didnt need any excuse to get f ed up. Drink, smoke and who knows what else. The minute I found out that I wa pregnant, I of course stopped everything and thank God my baby is healthy. I got married and now I can care less if I ever have a drink again. I 'll have some wine here and there and cigs but nothing too dramatic. My baby is my high now!

I have had what may be called an emotional awakening. I am still the same person I was before but now I comprehend things differently. I am free to be myself..the person I have always been..but free from the chains that kept me from being who I truly am. I can now feel and think freely, without guilt, so I enjoy life more with all it's ups and downs. I am still the same person but better. I am no longer afraid to live. I am no longer afraid to take on new challenges and I am far less concerned with what others think of me. I still get angry, frustrated, hurt and disappointed, but these emotions take up far less of my time. I much rather spend my days loving those dear to me and doing things that bring happiness and joy into my life. Yes, I would definitely say I had an emotional awakening. It changed my life. Many things about me have changed, but the person I was, the person who lived deep down inside of me, the person who I always wanted to be is the person I am now. I just had to set her free, but she was always a part of me.

I think different people that enter into your life and the different people that leave, effect your ability to ever 'go back' to who you once were. Too many feelings change, your tied to different emotional and physical obligations as life goes on... sometimes you are left with nothing, or other times you started with nothing. People are left to think. We are canvases. Some people take a break from the hustle and bustle, and when they come back, of course they have changed. Time changes us, and as much as we are changed for the better, and still pine to go back to the past we can't.

yeah, right about the time my whole family went off the edge of the road above a 500 foot steep drop into the canyon below. It was when we lost the brakes in the 53 Packard my parents owned coming down from big bear mountain in California. I remember a big white puffy cloud of dust or something like that then coming to rest about 15 feet from where we went off. There were tire tracks from our car leading off the edge and several shook up witnesses who swore they saw us go over and then 'rewind' to rest where we finally stopped. This was back in about 1965-1968.

Once you go forth from the cave and discover the world there is no turning back. Your mind has been freed. You can imprison your own body within the cave but your mind will never allow you to rest knowing the truth.

Everyday I am so very grateful that I had my transforming experience. Even though it took no more than one minute the impact is always with me. I am thankful for my glimpse of the eternal truth. Even though the moment of enlightenment is transforming I have learned as Paramahansa Yogananda said that I must continue to "improve my knowing."
