...a documentary about 'everyday' awakened people.
That would be really really interesting.

The main question could be: how do the lives unfold of people who have gone through the gate-less gate?
Sure, there is not a clear answer to this. Because: different people, different lives. But the idea is to take a look at the lives of let's say 8 or 10 awakened men and women. And through that a demystification of enlightenment can be shown, but also it can inspire seekers.

For example, I found it so cool to hear from a man in a docu about Papaji who promised to himself he never again wanted to drive another cab in his whole life. But then he apparently awakened in India, and when he got back he became a cab driver again, worked many hours a day - and loved it.
Just an example, but for me this is quite inspiring in the sense that I finally saw someone who after awakening did not become a teacher. Nothing wrong with that. But sometimes it seems like 90% of the people who awaken become teachers themselves, with the laid-back life that goes along with it. Which, again, is great, go for it - I advocate being laid back, and 'designing' your life to your liking.
But it would also be really nice to see different people who have awakened, and lead a life as a shopkeeper, gardener, hairdresser, pilot, dentist, car dealer, nurse, unemployed person...etc.

And it would be interesting perhaps to revisit some of the people in the Papaji-docu, and see if they still consider themselves awakened. Did it make a difference when Papaji died and they didn't have that option anymore of looking forward to a meeting with Papaji. (you know, saving money and going to India.)

Yeah, I would love to see something like this.
