Stirring, before you wake up:
You realise something is wrong in the world, the experiences you have disagree with what is popular belief. But you are in the mainstream. Then one day....
Awake:
You do some research, maybe because an awake friend helped, and come to the realisation that some great lie has been told. You start to question everything and decompose other possible lies.
Wide Awake:
You realise everything is fake, wrong and backwards. Completely manipulated and absurd. Unnatural. Vaccines, GMOs, water flouridation etc. And wars! Fake staged unnecessary wars. We are being divided by religion, skin colour, food preference, anything to divide us. And dumb us down. And obey 'authority'. We should cooperating instead of competing; peace and love should rule. You feel liberated in your understanding of the world. Then eventually..
Fully Awake:
Maybe as an epiphany or probably prolonged deep clear thought, you arrive at one more realisation. The world is a beautiful place full of amazing beautiful creatures. Peace and Love, cooperation and understanding. The angst and anger is gone. You fearlessly spread your thoughts. You stop to smell the flowers and ponder existence. And you laugh, a lot. The absurdity of the world around you is a constant sense of humour. Your mind is free to learn, research and ponder anything, unconstrained. You no longer fear anything. Peace.
Please note that the time between stages is generally YEARS. But at least there is hope...
Exactly.
