-------------------- "A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Lately I have been noticing how we are so much more than we are aware of while acting on this stage. most of what is done is just drama- psychodrama- routine - habit, and mostly we are incapable of observing the magesty of creation and "what we are" (both the question and realization), while engaged in this (theater stage and the stage mechanics (eg. driving, cooking etc.)), and while being led by the nose to the next transaction.

Are you trying to tell us that you are getting aware of more than you are aware of?
Btw, this topic seems odd to me.
I look outwards. I am what you see. You are what I see.

I duly apologize for thinking that the word "ninja" implied stealth and agility. 
 Peace.

Don't we just "see" what the "mind" formulates? As we don't really see the objects of the world, but our mind creates an image with the sense data, and then we "see" the image created.
