Greetings Whitefeather,
My take on being awake.
As others have already indicated, for most it is a gradual evolution. When I was younger, I would think nothing about how a plant might feel. Although, I have always been a sensitive person and very emotional, as I learned more about life energy, I realized all living things are sacred. I now think positive thoughts with my plants. I thank them for bringing me joy. Even my pets I have more respect for... I thank them daily for choosing to spend a life with me.
Where along the way did I change... I don't know. I just know that it was an evolution over a period of years. Trying to understand why there is so much pain and misery on this planet only to find that we are the creators of this world and have a responsibility to make it a better place than when we came. So I have chosen to cultivate Love with all living things, whether they be plants, insects or animals.
I guess... experience along with knowledge... can create awareness. The more aware you become, the more in tune you become with all other living things.
Awake = respect/love .. the more awake you are... the more you respect and love all that is around you and you also realize how little you actually understand.
When my Born Again Sister's Minister told me he would like to discuss my understanding of "God"... I told him the truth. I am not smart enough to discuss "God". As humans we do have our limitations. :-)
With that....
Peace
