Scrap the idea of needing to recognize it... simply accept it on trust (since you say " theoretically, " you have apparently not done so yet). Can you accept on trust that you are already enlightened? If not, the teaching is worthless. If the makeup of your mind is such that you can accept nothing on the basis of trust, even for a brief period of time, there is little chance the teaching will be useful to you. If you can accept, even a little, that you are already enlightened (and most importantly, *LET GO THE IDEA THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO REACH SOME FUTURE GOAL*)... then continue spiritual practice with the intent to *express* your true nature (again, not making a future goal out of it, just enjoying that practice NOW as an expression of your true nature)... the initial small amount of trust will grow stronger and stronger, until it becomes conviction. With the fire of this conviction, the " forest of ignorance " will burn down -- effortlessly and automatically. If you need to, give it time... let the idea " I'm already the Absolute " grow on you. Ponder it awhile. Obviously you're existing in this universe. For awhile, give up the " Maya " idea, and accept this universe as real. Everything in this universe is interconnected. This is even verified by science. So if you're " in this universe " then you are integrated with it as well... there are no " boundaries " except those in your mind.
