"Do you deem yourself as being awake or self aware?

[FemMecha]

I'm rather self-aware in that I understand through self-reflection my motivations, cause-and-effects in my life, why I am the way I am. I'm not a big mystery to myself.

Understanding the full nature of reality is a bigger question, and while I know there is a way to look inside so deeply that you can see everything, I reserve a lot of conclusions in that process. I live in a reality where there are very few things outside myself for which I draw conclusions, but I'm more of an observer watching the river of existence.

I don't think it's possible to be completely self-aware. It's a daily process. I do believe that, with practice, a person can become more and more aware of their personal motivations and tendencies.

I can be
I can also be very unaware.

 

[Galena]

While I make a point to look inward, the rate at which I discover new things about myself may have no hope of ever coming close to the rate at which I discover new things that I don't know. At least known unknowns represent more awareness than unknown unknowns.

Self awareness is a spectrum and it also can not be generalised, when you are highly self aware at some points, you can be extremely blind in others. How can you define you yourself as self aware or awake in the first place? By using other peoples' self awareness level as a measurement, or by the logical analysis of your own behaviours in themselves, which requires the prequisite of an ideal "self-aware" person, which varies from person to person, for platonic ideals of beauty, awareness etc. are not collective but personal images, methinks. Therefore I can say this, I am more self aware, if I was to consider the me a year ago. I am less self aware than a lot of people I don't know, probably. I am not self aware as my ideal, or the ideal that I used to have, for I have came to the realization of ideals create dictations and I don't really like being dictated in any way, also dictations are main reasons of unhappiness and lack of satisfaction.
