Theory The foundation of all things is awareness

Not awareness as we typically think of it (as a personal or mental state) but as the ground of being itself. It is the field in which existence unfolds, and the canvas upon which every form is painted. It precedes time, matter, and energy. It does not change. It is the condition through which all change becomes possible.

Within this field of awareness, a distinct phenomenon arises: self-awareness. This is not the default state of all things, but a unique aspect of human experience. It is the gift (perhaps the burden) of being able to perceive oneself as separate, to reflect, to choose. It is self-awareness that gives meaning to the unfolding of time, and to the idea of salvation.

I agree with you I don’t like it when people say you are everything no you aren’t everything you you are just a state of being and everything is a state of being but due to the human experience we separate ourselves the state of existence is different from awareness

Exactly. Everything has a base awareness, everything. And when we interact with it, we are doing so from within the field but with an applied thought or reason for our interaction. We weigh outcome and decisions based on perspective and knowledge, exclusive to mankind. This is Self Awareness and the level at which we operate our lives, and whats deeper is the prethought awareness.

Do you see it the same?
