There's a lot of talk about spirituality and consciousness/enlightenment increasing worldwide. I wondered if this was supported by google statistics.
Here are some searches I did, interestingly searches for the term "spiritual" and "spirituality" have decreased over the past few years:

But on the other hand "spiritual enlightenment" has increased considerably:

I'm not sure we can take the idea seriously that there is global awakening until more terms like this are used more often.
