The only way I’ve been able to conceive of why the word “woke” is used is to think of the pod people in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” as “woke” versions of their victims. Ie. awoken to a new reality of compulsory conformity and shrieks at anyone still caught out as human.

” awoken to a new reality of compulsory conformity”
Katana, that is an outstanding definition of woke!

May I quote it sometimes and acknowledge you as the writer?

My Best,

Satan told Eve if she ate of the Tree of Self-Righteousness, her "eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:5).

But Satan is a liar. He tells half-truths. Her eyes were opened to self and she could live apart from God, sinning as she would choose and dying accordingly.

The grace and glory of God departed but God immediately announced their redemption planned from the foundation of the earth and God demonstrated that redemption plan symbolically by covering them both with bloody animal skins. (God was the first one to kill an animal.)
