not to be facetious, because it's an honest question, but what terminology would you use to describe people who 'think they've awakened, but they really haven't".
I ask, because there is a Mind/Body/Spirit Festival in Sydney this week (one I went to about 18 months ago), and I am pretty sure that there are people there who would consider themself "aware and awakened to spiritual truths", and yet something feels lacking or off, in my most objectively-possible estimation.
Or to put it more accurately - they are still focussed on externally-oriented phenomena, rather than the process of inner seeking, which I consider the hallmark of "true awareness and awakening". Of course, there is such a place for things, and it still informs all our lower chakra activities, but it's more a question of focus and heart-orientation imo.
