Reflection 9

How aware you are, depends on what you’ve experienced, and of your understanding of that experience. Your awareness is not just about what you see, but it’s how you see it. We all know that not every individual is the same, so not everyone sees things the way you may see them. Awareness allows people to see things the way they want to see them, whether it’s through their morals, beliefs, or just how they feel about the situation. When you look at awareness through your morals, you’re also looking at things through your beliefs because they coincide with one another. When you’re awareness triggers something as familiar as the difference between a Christian, and a Catholic it’s from your past experience from being brought up in a religious setting, and what morals you choose to live by. Where as the experience you have what you feel about your awareness, is that the situation has come up before, have you ever had a gut feeling? This is exactly what a awareness feeling is, the part where you don’t know why what your about to do is good or bad, you’ve never done it before, and you haven’t experienced it, you just know that it shouldn’t be done. This awareness can also be influenced and changed by your perception, because as you get older your perception might change from what its original though about the problem was. Instead of creating a problem, you now have an understanding of a situation, but it’s not necessarily a problem. Awareness is more of a thinking process were the consciousness is your reaction, and control of your awareness. For example, remember your gut feeling? When your consciousness comes into control it allows you to act on your gut feeling. Your awareness allows you to feel what’s right and what’s wrong, were your consciousness allows you to respond to these feelings. They also stated that your consciousness keeps things in for safe keeping. I believe that this is true. I believe that it doesn’t only keep things for safe keeping, but it also hides things to protect you. As humans we are entitled to our own mistakes, and sometimes we say things without thinking. I believe that our awareness and conscious works together and helps us keep things in, so we don’t end up damaging ourselves. For example our awareness allows you to feel this gut feeling and the consciousness stops you from acting, and the end result, might be that some things are better left unsaid.
