In biological physiology, awareness describes an animal's perception and cognitive reaction to a condition or event. Awareness does not necessarily imply understanding.
Awareness is a relative concept. An animal may be partially aware, may be subconsciously aware or may be acutely aware of an event. Awareness may be focused on an internal state, such as a visceral or deep down gut feeling, or on external events by way of sensory perception. Awareness provides the raw material from which animals develop qualia, or subjective ideas and beliefs about their experience.
Electro-chemical networks related to the chordate nervous system facilitate awareness as in the function of neuropeptides and their receiver sites in cellular communication. Researchers have debated what minimal components are necessary for animals to be aware of environmental stimulus, though all animals have some capacity for acute reactive behavior that implies a faculty for awareness.
Popular ideas about consciousness suggest the phenomenon describes a condition of being aware of one's awareness. Efforts to describe consciousness in neurological terms have focused on describing networks in the brain that develop awareness of the qualia developed by other networks. Those that are described in Spiritual Terms are closer to the intelligence that is responsible for creating the Universe and the human brain which is more of a receiver to translate God into form and experience.
Neural systems that regulate attention serve to attenuate or shrink awareness among complex animals whose central and peripheral nervous system provides more information than cognitive areas of the brain can assimilate. Within an attenuated system of awareness, a mind might be aware of much more than is being contemplated in a focused extended consciousness. If you were to take your attention from the bigger picture and place it on a specific object or experience within the big picture you might lose sight of the bigger picture for a moment, but the bigger picture remains regardless of the lack of attention.
In other words the mind is only capable of successfully giving attention to one thing at a time. If you put it on any object you would only see the surface of it at first glance. To understand it would mean the mind would have to leave the surface appearances behind to see what is inside of it or beyond just the single object or surface attention. Such is the case with the inward exploration of the mind and expanding consciousness.’
If we only look at the transitions of thought that make up the universe we will only perceive bits and pieces of the picture, or if it was a puzzle just the pieces of the puzzle. If you study only a few of the pieces it would be difficult to conceive of the entire picture without having studied all the other pieces and then putting them together, this can take a very long time and a lot of effort. If you went to the source you may become familiar with the seed which holds all of the pieces within as well as the completed picture.
Scientists are still trying to map the DNA molecule, to unravel the programming of the Human potential. With all of the variables how long do you think it would take to unravel the essence of the Human being bit by bit, every possible feeling and choice, including the subjective and objective capability to learn and understand, etc. etc.?



As one of the first humans looked about on our earth, he had a certain awareness of a limited area in which he traveled and hunted. He visualized himself as at the center of a well known territory surrounded by a larger expanse of a region in which he had never roamed, but which he nevertheless knew existed by means of communications with his fellow beings. .
Even though over a million years have passed between this first member of the human species and ourselves, this sense of being at the heart of our orb still exists in us. Man, while endeavoring to understand the universe around him, has repeatedly made himself, through the individual belief and experience of the ego, the center of the cosmos and thereby thwarted his efforts at obtaining his long sought after goal of the awareness of a Universe that is not separated by belief and individual points of reference.
What was true of the ancients, in trying to understand the motion of the sun and planets by considering the earth at rest, is still true today in the space age when man tries to unravel the enigma of space and time. . The delusions that hinder us in our perception of the true nature of the fields of gravity, magnetism and electrostatics are the following two:

1. The first delusion is that we, like our prehistoric friend see man or our beliefs of man, the ego as the focal point between the microcosm and the macrocosm. . We are inadvertently saying this: a thing smaller than man has a certain order and has a certain set of rules; anything larger than man belongs to an entirely different order and has contrasting laws. . This poses a question. . Does it seem logical to assume that this infinite universe, composed of an unceasing sequence of orbiting bodies building together to form larger revolving units, would pick man, a mere speck in this universe, as the center of coordinates to differentiate between a microcosm and a macrocosm? . It is very unlikely. . This assumption, that he is the midpoint of things, is the very thing that obstructs man in achieving the solution he so diligently seeks.

2. The second delusion that obscures the explanation of our environment is that we constantly seek a place in the universe that remains at rest. . We then try to express all motion in terms of items moving in respect to us or another object that we allege is remaining stationary. . The reason for this is that most of man's experience with movement here on earth is in solving problems involving a certain motion in regard to an immobile earth. . Our prehistoric friend found out that describing motion in respect to a quiescent earth worked just fine, and this method of description suited his descendents fairly well for over a million years. . Because of the simplicity of this method of portraying movement, the majority of the occupants of this planet earth see no reason for not continuing this arrangement for another million years. . This is not such an easy thing to do because Galileo and Einstein have both shown us that this method is not suitable in all cases, and that other people who may be journeying through space on another planet, revolving around another sun, may want to describe motion using their sun or their planet as a place of reference. . We can understand that they are going to express all motion that they observe in the heavens in respect to their sun or their planet being at rest. . We understand their situation only too well and we say to them, so that mistakes will be avoided, as we exchange information, that they should express all movement of celestial bodies that they observe by adding the phrase "Relative to Planet X". . We will then tell them that after our celestial observations that we will add the phrase "Relative to the earth"

The above presentation, a limited analogy of a portion of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, helps one realize that man through personal experience or ego does not have a monopoly on the point of view as to who is at rest and who is moving.
Interestingly enough in the awareness of the Human being there exists the potential to grasp the reality of the Universe if Man learns the truth of his existence relative to the source. Being a voice for the source one can easily transmit the experience of source through the media of the Universe or the Body. The only problem with the general acceptance of the human, being the point of reference, is when you accept the surface experiences of the Human or the changing experiences of the evolving human.
One can trace the essence of the universe back through human experience which is what makes the human so unique in the animal kingdom. Only the Human can question or desire to know him/herself and the source of the universe where the animals can not. This makes a human being an instrument of perception to the midpoint of the microcosm and the macrocosm rather than the midpoint itself. It is through awareness that one can be aware of the subjective and objective experience and follow both to the source.
We all have awareness, becoming aware of awareness is the recognition of what it is, conscious awareness would be the awareness of awareness. Becoming conscious of the Self is to trace the subjective experience back to its source, the Ascendant Self.
Enlightenment would be the constant living experience of the Ascendant Self moving through every thought feeling and action of experience.
