Anicca, dukkha, anatta. I've listened to plenty of bhikkhus and bhikkhunis talk about these characteristics at length.

Take for example anicca. I am asking the same thing about dukkha and anatta.

Suppose one has not yet seen for oneself how all phenomena are impermanent, but has an intellectual understanding of it from listening to the Dhamma.

Is it possible that such a person could, for instance, recognize anicca, but not understand that they have recognized it, thinking, "Anicca is yet to be grasped", when in fact anicca has already been grasped? To clarify, the person might even reap the benefits of understanding anicca. They don't fret about illness, nor about building a career, nor about global warming, for instance. (I have picked a few things from my own life that I am still learning to deal with). Yet the person still thinks, "Anicca is yet to be grasped."

If it is possible, how is it possible and what should one do about it? If it is not possible, why not?

As a guess, does the answer lie in the person's actions?

As another guess, is this a more specific case of asking how to know one's own mind?

Edit: Seeing as I have recently annoyed some members of this community by criticizing their answers, I am totally open to answers from those same persons :-)
