Awareness and the Real

The wish to escape from creature-hood pretty much defines what we think of as saints. Those to whom we ascribe the saint-hood thing tend to be those who in our estimation are more evolved than ourselves. There is no evolution of awareness. Consciousness is formal. Consciousness is informal. Consciousness is complex. Consciousness is evolving. Awareness is not evolving. Awareness is simply aware.

Awareness is the limit of our being. All ideas are created shapes of self and have utility for better or for worse. Ideas are the product of consciousness. Consciousness is the product of awareness.

If our awareness is a mystery to us we have not seen our selves.
