What does "awakened consciousness" mean in this context?

Nothing different in this context, I mean it in the universal sense:

Could also look at it as Spiral Dynamics Turquoise:

Sorry, I guess I shouldn't have said "in this context", I'm not familiar with the term at all. I was trying to differentiate from just the literal "awake" and "conscious", as in not asleep. I assumed it was some religious term.

The search results seem to indicate it's some vague mysticism not specific to any particular belief structure? Not an area I'm familiar with. Thanks for the info!

All good! That's right, it's the field called "Spirituality" that many people confuse with Religion.

At a glance, Spiral Dynamics looks like a mix of Donella Meadow style System Dynamics and a copious amount of LSD.

(Excuse my flippancy, I did my Master's on a subject related to System Dynamics and was turned off by the field's relativist philosophical outlook.)

I think it's useful as a rough framework. Definitely overlays well over a lot of my own observations of life and people. And, yes, LSD is always helpful in these matters.
