Terminology to describe people who "awaken"

[Nicholas]

Ra often refers to those who are not aware of the unity of creation as those that are sleeping.  So awake/asleep seems fairly informative to me in this context.

Yes I agree, especially when Don asks about the value of media technology...

34.13 Questioner: What is the general overall effect of television on our society with respect to this catalyst?

Ra: I am Ra. Without ignoring the green-ray attempts of many to communicate via this medium such information, truth, and beauty as may be helpful, we must suggest that the sum effect of this gadget is that of distraction and sleep.

But also, the point of not being aware of the unity of creation, or asleep, is the very purpose of the veil...

The incarnation pattern of the beginning third-density mind/body/spirit complex begins in darkness, for you may think or consider of your density as one of, as you may say, a sleep and a forgetting. - 21.9

So the context is very important. I shied away from the anonymous youth movement because the notion of being 'awake' implied being privy to the corruption or abuse of power in politics and business. Essentially, if you preferred not to investigate certain conspiracy theories then you were one of the 'sheeple'. The term 'truth seeking' has also been adopted to describe the process of personal/private investigation with regards to political and media rhetoric, as well as trying to discover what remains undisclosed, and why.

Ken Wilber articulates a comprehensive process of personal evolution where 'waking up' is just one aspect of maturation. 1. Growing up. 2. Waking up. 3. Showing up. 4. Cleaning up.

So I deduce from his observations that if growing up is not in partnership with waking up, then such terms as 'awake' or 'asleep' could be used in a derogatory or worldly context.
