I used to think that awakening was knowing something, but I am now minded to see it as being something. Yes, it's a reorientation from certainty to uncertainty. But the quest for knowledge is never-ending and insatiable. Surely being awake has to be something else? I suggest it's "owning your vibe"; something within, and a sovereign choice. Be the light... that's it.
Spot on.
It is reconnecting to the patience you have been conditioned to give up.
It is reconnecting to Earth.
