Awakening is (in many ways) a mechanical problem. What the message that this site is about is concerned with is dissolving the inherited lie of being a separate self. That is done by washing the lie in the truth of you. That exposure is facilitated by the intentional act of turning, and tuning your attention to you. The raw truth that you are, which is what you really are.
It’s a mechanical process. Do A, and the result will be B.
I would love to be able to say it’s more complicated than that. My book would probably be longer than it is, and I’d be able to charge more. 
But, it’s just not. Awakening is simplicity itself. It’s the truth of you. That’s all.
Choosing to expose yourself to the truth of that repeatedly, cannot help but clear the lie about you that we are taught and which we buy into so easily because it matches the apparent facts so well.
Remember that awakening, and the message, is only concerned with “what you are” and has nothing to say about “how to be.” “How to be” is very complicated, I would never suggest otherwise. “What you are” is not. It’s you.

isn't the question really "how to be what you are?"?

Christina, in my experience, no. You already are what you are. How can you be that more?
What we can work on is "how to be", how we show up in the world, and how authentic we are externally and internally. We can work on how honest and true our actions are from moment to moment. That is good stuff to do.
But, none of that changes what you are already. Awakening, as far as I can see, is solely about getting rid of the misconceptions and lies that cover over what we really are, making us move from a false place.
I hope that was helpful in clarifying what I am on about, and what the concern of the message is.
Cheers!
