We know all of these, so for us living now, there is...awakenings yet to come, which will change what we currently know."We awaken to the unknown." I'm not sure that's what is meant usually by awakening. In the sense of the quote, I believe it's an oblique reference to "enlightenment", or to put it into the vernacular, he "got it". All of these are vague statements usually considered to be a superior state of being and awareness.
If all we awaken to are essentially useless pieces of information about the shape and movement of the planets, then it truly is delusional.
