I understand and agree because that's the way I usually see things, but the Buddha had said..
"Even at the times we feel most stuck, we are never alienated from the awakened state. "
I think we means everyone.
I doubt some people are more awakened than others. What about people that aren't interested in spirituality at all? I don't see them as any less enlightened. They may not think they're enlightened, and not even care about it, but they're still enlightened.
We're all in the same boat, we're not any different than the people who we think are more or less enlightened. That's why I think the quote also said "this is a revolutionary assertion"
