I’m a big supporter of the “self-awareness” movement. I believe there is a lot of truth to it. I’ve been studying it and learning about it for a long time and it seems to be something that is gaining traction in society. I’m also a fan of the idea of “levels of self-awareness.” What I mean by that is that there are different levels to how a person thinks about themselves.
There are five levels that a person can have when they have self-awareness. The first two are easy to understand and the third is hard to grasp.
The first two levels are “I” and “me”. The third level is a “you” because I can’t even describe it because I don’t even know what it is. The third level is “we” and it is where we are right now as a society. We are the ones who are not even aware of the third level yet and when we do, it will be the most important one to us.
I love how so many self-aware people can’t even understand what it is they are talking about with what they’re saying. It’s a lot like the difference between being drunk and drunk and being high and high. One is an emotional state, the other isn’t.
People who are drunk or high don’t remember where they were or what they were doing before they entered this state. People who are self-aware are able to fully recall their most recent actions, and they don’t have an excuse why they weren’t aware of what they were doing at the point in time they entered this state.
This is a common mistake, and one that leads to many misunderstandings. There are two types of self-awareness, which are called “self-awareness consciousness” and “self-awareness cognitive awareness.
Self-awareness consciousness is the ability to fully remember and understand your actions so you can fully control them. Self-awareness cognitive awareness is when you can consciously remember and understand your actions but your conscious mind is just not able to fully recall what you were doing before you became aware of what you were doing.
When you become aware of something and fully remember it, you can control it. In the real world, when you see something, you can control it. But when I hear that I am in a space I have no control over, it feels like the universe is trying to control me. I can’t control it. My mind just can’t remember.
This isn’t to say that you cannot control your thoughts, however. Conscious awareness is a skill that we all have in some form or another, and it’s why we learn the piano, how to drive, or even how to work on a computer. In fact, you can even control your breathing! For instance, you can control the amount of oxygen you breathe in and out of your lungs. You can also control your heart rate.
So you may have heard that the mind is a muscle that controls your body. The same thing goes for the brain. It’s not like your body will just let go of your mind if you say something to it that you don’t like. For instance, if a person is trying to control a conversation with another person, you can’t just stop the conversation. You can’t just shut off your brain. To do that, you need to have conscious awareness.
