The concept of “awareness” is very interesting, however, I think that its fullness is very great, which is why it is made in weighted. Especially when you consider it as directed inside you, necessary for observing yourself, for certain internal processes, thoughts and sensations. It is as if it is impossible to step and a step without knowing all the complex relationships that set in motion of the leg, you can not contemplate what is around, without the sensation of the work of the eye muscles; It is difficult to feel the joy of any event without feeling changes in your body: something stretches, tingles, compresses, tenses, etc. p.
Of course, I do not claim that such a study and observation of myself is completely not needed. However, if we talk about this phenomenon, then, in this way, “conscious” means the allocation from this word only a part of the “knowledge” itself, and the movement in its direction. And along this path you can lose something more valuable and essential for yourself.
Awareness and wisdom – two inextricable principles. You can hardly imagine that awareness is born only in the process of observing everything that is part of your life … for concentration and attentiveness when you wash the dishes, thanks to the control of the little finger on the leg. This is exactly the case with wisdom: one cannot expect its immediate appearance only after reading certain books or memorizing many rules and formulas. However, there are different cases, I will not deny.
It is difficult to attribute awareness to the category of state, since the latter does not differ in its constancy. Probably, it is able to arise mysteriously at a particular stage of life as a background, the “side effect” of all internal changes in a person, thereby testifying to his maturity. It is not so easy for me to think, moreover, to represent the conscious youth with the inherent desires and hopes, energy and insolence. In order to “soberly” evaluate the surrounding reality without any distracting elements, internal certainty is required, when “everything is clear” for you: plans are implemented, desires are satisfied, and things are fulfilled.
Acquaintance and contact with consciousness, gradual immersion in it – all this is awareness. You should not perceive consciousness as an exact term – it does not reveal some kind of intricate structure, where “I” is only one of its elements, does not mean what you can feel and live. In my opinion, a person is only able to recognize consciousness just as you quickly find his reflection in a glass window, fixing the moment on the periphery of attention. It is also a perception of oneself in various things, people, events, t. e. maximum expansion of their capabilities and boundaries. Until they lose their clarity and completely disappear, and then it is not so easy to understand who and in what they know. Once someone shared his thought that consciousness itself often watches himself. Great image ..
Do not mean by awareness an absolute understanding of the relationship of what is happening, based on automatism. Often it offers more questions than answers. The new reality indicates that the traditional communication scheme with the world “I and others” loses its stability, as a result of which constant malfunctions arise. At the same time, the modern scheme of the interaction of the “I and I” is strikingly different, and all those personal techniques and skills that have been developed for many years in the struggle for the “place under the sun” actively contradict it.
