By To my mind, this is the ultimate form of self-awareness. It is my purpose to know what I am and where I am, to know myself and my place in the universe.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we have this need for self-awareness now. In the world’s oldest religion, you only believe what you know. If you are a member of a monastic order, you only believe what you can see and feel. We live in an age of instant gratification. We’re used to buying things now, and it’s hard to feel a need to be self-aware if your life feels pretty stable and predictable.
I know, I know, I know. But what if we did? What if we could actually do what we thought we were supposed to be doing? We could start our own religion. Just as we did in the old days. We could start a new religion. If we could really be the people we say we are, then we could start a new religion. The only problem is that we’re not actually doing it. We’re just pretending that we are.
You cannot stop yourself from acting on what you think you are supposed to be doing. However, you can think about that thought a lot more, so you can stop it. To stop pretending that you are doing what you don’t, you have to be willing to stop doing what you think you are supposed to be doing.
If you will meaning is an act of self-awareness, then just stop. It would be enough to stop pretending you are something more.
You are. I’m not. So I am not.
If you will meaning is an act of self-awareness, then just stop. It would be enough to stop pretending you are something more.You are. Im not. So I am not.
The problem with self-awareness is that it usually implies a person is aware of themselves, and that means that you are not, even though it is the very same person. Being aware of yourself and your actions, however, is not a matter of being aware of yourself and doing what you are supposed to be doing. It is doing the things you are supposed to be doing. So to be aware of yourself but not be aware that you are aware of yourself is a contradiction.
If you don’t know who you are yet, then you have to be aware that you are aware that you are aware that you are aware that you are aware. And that’s the problem with being aware but not aware that you are aware, because if you are aware that you are aware that you are aware, it doesn’t mean you are aware that you are aware. It could just mean that you are aware that you aren’t aware of yourself and that you are not aware of yourself.
We’re not sure yet what the meaning of this is, but it’s definitely a thing that’s been bothering us. It’s a mystery that we’re not quite sure why it applies to us. We are aware that we are aware that we are aware that we are aware that we are aware. But since we are aware of ourselves, this means that we are not aware of ourselves and that we are not aware of ourselves.
