Awakening vs. Getting a Clue

Most of what is happening in the world that is referred to as an awakening should not be classified as such, rather it should be referred to as more and more people getting a clue. Getting a clue about the truth of power, control and manipulation in our world; and perhaps choosing to rise and meet it at different degrees in thought or action. Yet, this is not awakening in the truest sense as awakening is the gradual realization of deeper levels of truth about the nature of Self and Creation, even though at times some levels of awakening may accompany a process of getting a clue. Interesting enough, the opposite may also be true, where one may actually be experiencing some level of awakening and still be clueless about the ground level reality we live in. Further evidence that these are two separate processes that may or may not accompany each other.

Have also noticed "awake/awakening" being used in these two different ways.

awake and awakening have different meanings, they both mean to awake from a sleep etc but awakening also means "an act or moment of becoming suddenly aware of something"

Yes Dandan. Both of those words are being used, in different ways, like the OP mentioned.
Do you not agree?

The key is to not try to wrangle a whale into your boat to take back with you. Start with something smaller, and more easy for other people to understand.

No one can awaken - because all apparent people are dreamt.

Thanks IINA.
That is a good example of the classic definition of awakening.
