Differentiation between Consciousness & Awareness
    #15303743 - 10/31/11 12:53 PM (12 years, 2 months ago)

As the title suggests, this thread is regarding consciousness and awareness.

-Do you hold consciousness and awareness to be one in the same, or do you differentiate them?

-If the latter, what is said difference?
Does consciousness equate with awareness?
You may choose only one

What has made them conceive that man must want a rationally advantageous choice?
I've become desensitized to these types of occurrences thus far. Yet, there lies a sensation of bitter disappointment embedded within.

  FINE YOU IMBECILE; SUFFER!! IT IS YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE HURTING. NOTHING IS DETERRING YOU FROM ATTAINING THAT OF WHICH YOU INHERENTLY CRAVE. YOU HAVE LET THEM TAKE OVER YOUR MIND, YOU ARE NO LONGER IN CONTROL, YOU NEVER WERE.

Briefly, I think awareness is a function of cognition and perception.  Consciousness needs memory and metacognition.

consciousness is the flux of energy in the cortex, all arising objects and the trails they make as they fade into memory.

awareness is a yoked, or binding quality derived from interest that can affect consciousness and steer it.

awareness may linger on any one or group of sense gates but it is an effort based aspect of mental activity. for instance it can be interrupted such as by having one's concentration distracted.

consciousness on the other hand is a continuum, while awareness can dawn and fade like any other complex of mental activity within the stream of consciousness.

consciousness has no ego, while awareness can be ego-ic or may be meditatively directed to non-egoic pursuits.

one's awareness of the room will fade while reading a book or web page, though the consciousness will continue to take in and sift through sounds and peripheral visual bits of life that are not in the book.

you could compare the consciousness to a river and awareness to a tiny boat on it.

In my experience the two terms are generally used synonymously.

Awareness is still consciousness. It's only a small, but very important part of it.
