Joan Tollifson describes 'awakening' thus:

Awakening isn't about acquiring some psychedelic vision or having some sustained oceanic sensation. It is simply about noticing that everything (mental movies, dreams, perceptions, thoughts, waking life, mirages, the I-illusion, apparent duality, time and space, chairs, tables, expansion, contraction, meditation retreats, traffic jams, everything) is without substance or continuity, and it all appears and disappears right here. Here is always here. It's always now. Even memories of the past, fantasies about the future, and thoughts of elsewhere can only appear here and now in the timeless, spaceless no-thing-ness of present awareness. This is all there is.

[edit] After the AfD

Above mentioned Afd resulted in No consensus, but showed two things:

• Most arguing for keeping the article, would also consider renaming it, e.g. to Wakefulness
• A number of edtors would support moving the disambiguation page to Awake

Since the two objectives seem to be combatible with each other and wiht the Afd outcome, I would proceed with the moves. --Tikiwont 08:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
