Awareness and Consciousness
The sun, moon, earth and everything that exist = awareness.
The light = consciousness.
The light's reflection on each object creates a light and a dark side, a conscious and a unconscious/subconscious and this all happens inside Awareness.
Awareness is the source of your consciousness and unconscious/subconscious. Your consciousness is the light that you can direct, focus, or observe something with.
Awareness is eternal and space-less (according to the sankrit word Nishprapansha), beyond time and space and you have no control over it because it is not a process but a state of being. You have no choice but to be always in Awareness wheather you are conscious of it or not.
Consciousness and the process of becoming conscious of something that you are unconscious of, goes through the subconscious.
Your subconscious and unconscious are in time and space as it is part of something that you can become conscious of (process), but you are not conscious of it (state of being, or awareness). So, you are simultaneously in the process (becoming conscious) and the state of being (awareness).
The picture expresses all that is or awareness. The objects in the picture resemble the state of being but also the process as the earth and the moon rotates, they symbolize a process in which parts are always conscious and some parts unconscious or subconscious.
The process and the state can run simultaneously in our brains.
Whilst being aware you can also have conscious thoughts. So, you are always aware or in the state of being aware. The only thing that switches on and off is your consciousness. When you sleep, meditate, use psychedelics or teacher plants, day dream, is in a coma, or are dead, your consciousness is switched off.
So: There is no such thing as conscious awareness, or becoming aware that you are conscious. Yes, you can become conscious that you are aware, but cannot be aware that you are aware.
(This is very important is it is the reason why meditation is such a big problem for conscious people)
Consciousness and Awareness are not synonyms.
Tell me how do you think they differ from each other?
