The whole path
Awake doesn't mean well-behaved
You don't have to be perfect to be awake.
What Scott says
There's a huge difference from the perceiver that is awake. There's not a large difference between someone who's totally enlightened, if that's even a thing, or very, very awake, and somebody that's not from an external perception. There's a huge difference from the perceiver that is awake. That's all that changes.
Behaviorally, right, is not necessarily like, oh, someone's totally awake, they're going to always have the best behavior. That's not true at all. They are largely still dependent on their karmic and self-patterning and how much they've healed it. And even when you heal it, you're still dependent.
You're still living and projecting through the self. You always project through the self.
