I apologize in advance for the length of this entry. However, given the question asked and the subject matter involved, it could not be helped
Modern terms and re-inventions of original terms vary constantly in definition and context in vampire pop culture. We are oversaturated in such terminologies such that their far-deeper original meanings have become entirely lost. Thus, when you speak of terms such as "latent" and "mundane," I am not certain of the meaning they have for you. However, I shall use them as originally intended and hope that perhaps we might share our understanding of them.
Almost all females possess the potential for being unlimited in their emotional, spiritual and sensual capacities. However, almost all males do not possess this same potential. In this sense, almost all females are potential "vampires" and, thus, "latent" if such potentials remain untapped within them. The same is also true for the extremely rare and still-surviving male descendants of the original Rephaim.
Given this common faculty in women found throughout all such worldwide... females have been universally condemned for such beautifully unlimited sensual and spiritual and emotional potentials by the vast majority of men who, due to their lack of such potential, fail to understand such and, thus, compensate by vilifying women's "insatiability" as a liability, a weakness... a "sin," even. (Hence, the vilification of "Eve" in the Garden of Eden story.) Thus, the entire gender was "branded" as "the weaker sex" and sensuality was likewise branded by such male insecurity as "sinful."
The most ancient and farthest-reaching case of "sour grapes" ever to have occurred in all of Human history.
Thus, as almost all women were known to possess this potential for unlimited sensual capacity, there was no "supernatural" causation attributed to this; women were simply viewed as inferior for possessing such superiority ... and in the minds of men, that was that.
However... when a race of men were discovered native to Eastern Europe and its environs who ALSO possessed this same sensual insatiability coupled with far-greater emotional and spiritual capacities to match... all of which equal to that in women... they saw "demonic" forces at work and vilified such men as "Vampires." By such demonization, it was hoped that women might shun them and, additionally, populations might actively seek to slaughter all those considered "vampires."
So... to the male-dominated world as a whole... such men who are Rephaites are considered "Vampires." However, to such Rephaite males and to the vast majority of females worldwide, all other men on Earth are, to use the term, "mundanes."
And to our knowledge thus far, "mundanes" cannot be "awakened"; they lack the potential for any such. However, I will hasten to point out that the anti-Gnostic Gospels of Thomas and Philip as well as the Gospel known as "Secret Mark" do seem to allude quite emphatically to the contrary. However as the process is not described, I cannot say whether such might be possible.
So setting aside all "mundanes" (i.e., basically all non-Rephaite males on the planet), what is "Awakening" for the rest of us?
First off, all females and Rephaite males can most certainly attain to a degree of full potentiation within ourselves and find a degree of expression of same with their "mundane" lovers or love interests,.
However, all such remain "unawakened" to the full power and fulfillment possible until or unless they are ultimately able to commune fully with another (or more) of their own "vampiric" kind.
If this was what you were asking and/or referring to, Angelika, then you are absolutely correct and have understood. And if not, then permit me to use an analogy to hopefully explain a bit further.
By example, imagine were you fully capable of true flight... of being able to lift off from the ground to soar effortlessly up into the skies and climb and dive through the clouds as high and as far and for as long as you wished. While such an ability would be truly enthralling and exhilarating beyond imagination... yet sooner or later, you will undoubtably long to share this with another, to be fully and truly accompanied on your thrilling excursions of flight into the unknown. Sooner or later, you will long for another equally capable of such unlimited flight so as to soar together and share as only another like you could the thrilling ecstacies and unimaginable thrills of flight together... always.
However, if you cannot find another truly capable of such flight but instead only capable of little leaps into the air before they tired and/or lose interest, then you will be relegated to basically having that person watch you from the ground as you soar above them. And while there is a degree of participation between you both in this... yet the inequality is glaring between you and ultimately unsatisfying for you both. So also such companionship with a "mundane" lover with whom both are unable to fully share and participate together the full potentials of Love and Life together... emotionally, spiritually and sensually.
Thus for those whose unlimited potentials are fully realized within themselves yet remain forever unfulfilled for being unable to find true companionship with another of their own kind... they remain "unawakened" to the full joy of what such ultimate and endless emotional, spiritual and sensual companionship is.
Thus... should the day come that such were truly experienced with another equally potentiated... then and only then would true "Awakening" occur and your eyes would be opened... and life would never again be the same for then would you know the true extent, height and depth of your now fully realized capacity and potentiial in communing fully with another and the true fulfillment possible only therein.
