Awareness and Illusion
    #23386697 - 06/27/16 06:21 AM (7 years, 8 months ago)

This simple concept has helped me in the pursuit of truth and happiness.

It helps explaining this philosophy by defining the vague albeit, well-known terms for which this thread is named, namely,
Awareness
And
Illusion.
Awareness here, at its base, isnt exactly synomnous with consciousness
Rather (and although)
it seems consciousness is a fundamental awareness of awareness.
Illusion then, is an awareness of false truths.
Or, false objectivity.. An illusionist, for example, tricks your senses into falling for whatever trick is being pulled (a rabbit out of a hat, perhaps).
Our own minds seem programmed to draw us into illusion, hence the disproportionate number of "awake" who have written throughout written history about "the asleep" and ways to nudge them.
Awareness, then, would be the discerning knowledge of objectivity.
Awareness then also means, the discerning knowledge of illusion, given that illusion cannot exist if truth is known.
So, if you give up certainty about anything other than what can be known, what is objective, you will begin to "grow" your awareness as illusion flees from your consciousness and objectivity replaces it.

The tough part, is questioning everything you thought to be true in the evalutation of your awareness.

this can lead to real insight and personal growth.
at first, you may realize quite a lot of what you were certain of stands on shaky foundation, it may feel uncomfortable to confront your worldviews and perception in this manner, knowing your likely wrong.
Eventually, real knowledge will make its way into your consciousness and awareness expands.

Not in some vague poetic sense, but in the sense that you are literally shedding illusion and becoming more and more aware of objectivity.
Which means ones effectiveness in shared reality becomes much more focused, much more free-willed.

Tldr;
Awareness isn't awareness if your not aware of the truth.
