Define awakening

It's not like you are in the moment, you are the very moment. It's not a conceptual understanding, as Bazooka Jesus said, it cannot be defined. We can only point the finger to the Moon.

I already know that. Still that doesn't answer all existential questions.

As I said I'm always in the moment and there still questions left. Like what after death for example. 

Thats not being in the moment. Being moment is being before birth , after death and now. Moment is way deeper than you can even imagine.

interesting I have had many states where I had no questions left, didn't work out. 

I mean I could just make it possible right now. No questions!!! 

 

If “I” is there, questioning is inevitable. Even if you don’t have now, 1 second later it will arise.

@Someone here

To answer all existential questions it's enough to answer only one question: what is existence? / who are you? (in other words).
The answer is not conceptual, investigate the direct experience, where is a sense of separate me? Relax attention on attention. ✊

@James123 are you denying that death is real?

don't worry you will die like rest of us, if you are still in this world you are one of us, it does not even matter if you were born or not, stop confusing your self with something that is out of your comprehension.

Awakening is the end of misunderstanding.

And how do you know if you are awake? 

Since the separate inner "you" is the misunderstanding, you only Know Yourself, there is only primordial Knowing, Awareness Itself, Knowing Itself. Thoughts and sensations, which before were believed to comprise the separate mind and body, are known by awareness, and made of the very knowing. 

Disclaimer: There is sometimes a huge, dramatic, climactic yet with no climax and no one to reach it, "non event" of awakening, after which never seen before insights, as well as new and old misunderstandings flood in along with unbelievable feelings and states.  The mind can only contextualize and remember objects, people, places, things that were around the time this non event that it cannot remember having occurred. It often mistakes those objects, states, experiences with realization. It can mistake itself as being realized. Seeking resumes, and if one follows their heart and is earnest enough to continue discarding whatever thoughts and beliefs don't feel good and limit the Love that it is, well, who knows?

If you think that you are alive instead of thought process, not even close to enlightenment.

Exactly 

Or put differently: I didn't write it, so you wrote it. If you didn't write it, so someone else would write it. The Mind is one.

It can't really be defined.

But one could say it is the deep recognition that all is one. Or the deep recognition that what one truly is, is not a person/human being, but Infinite Consciousness aka God aka Love.
