Awareness is awareness. It is not self aware or aware of collective awareness.
Self is all there is so it would not be possible to be aware of anything else.
Awakening 'from' what? Would be a better question than, awakening 'into' what?
Awakening from the dream of separation.
You are dreaming that what you see is not you. You think and believe that you can be aware of 'other things'.
There are no 'other things'. No 'other' people and no 'other' anything. What you experience is it.
The experience is all there is. And awareness is that.
This sentence from your favorite bit of the bible (Corinthians);
"For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears."
this is saying that the two must become one.
We are in parts, (in bits, fragmented) and we prophesie in parts. I read this as, we think we are more than one.
Love is the answer but first you need the correct question. The answer is the result. The answer will not be found though by looking for love. Love is the 'thing' that can not be found, seach high and low and it will not be found. Love is what you are, so where will you need to go to find it?
The biggest lie in this universe is that we have to learn love.
We are told that we are born evil and have to learn love. This is not true.
We are love wrapped in fear.
This fear will fall away when you see that there is nothing but Self.
The imagined 'other' does not exist.
Images appearing and disappearing on the blank screen of awareness.

What happened when you became narcissistic?
If you agree that love is all there is, why do you go on to say that there are other things than love?
Why would i be yelling at my mother 'i am love'?
Perhaps you don't get what i am saying.
Oneness equals love.
Is there room for anything else if all is one? I am love so everything else is too.
There is no separation between what i call me and the world.
All one.
I think there is some confusion. Neti neti means not this , not this. This, i think, is the stage you may be thinking of.
You are thinking of when the mountain disappears. You know mountain, no mountain then mountain back again.
First it is realized that i am love and not all that that is going on in the world. But it is then realized that 'I am that'. Love is seen to be the source of me and then it is seen in the world.
Love is the source of all.
Believe me when i say i am not in danger, i am in love.
You will never find love by seeking it. When you realize you are love then love will be seen and felt no matter what appearances appear.
Here is a video for you spoken by Tony Parsons;

This one is Mark West using the word 'awareness' alot:
