In the spiritual tradition I practice, one does not call oneself "awakened" or "enlightened" or "transformed." Rather, one loses oneself in awe and wonder at the beauty and goodness present at the core of each and every thing and event encountered in the world.
The most we can say, perhaps, is that we - with God - are the loving space in which all things are able to reveal their own sacredness. Thomas Merton calls this space "poverty." I wholeheartedly agree.
