No. It could mean any number of things, assuming that the claim "awareness of
awareness" has specific physiological correlates. Two different people can describe the
same sunset using different words, or two entirely different (to most of us) phenomena
using the same words.
"I saw a flying saucer" might refer to a genuine porcelin saucer in Frisbee flight, or to an
alien spacecraft or to some other UFO phenomenon like swamp gas.
"I am aware of awareness" might refer to some TC/CC state, or to a derealization state
brought about by child sexual abuse or ongoing extreme stress which have distinctly
different EEG patterns. We don't know the physiological correlates of the Scientology state
and they won't let anyone measure them.
