Definition: The state or level of consciousness where sense data can be confirmed by an observer.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look,
At this word “awareness,” a thoughtful book!
The dictionary gives us a starting clue,
“The state or level of consciousness, it's true!”
Let’s break that down in a way that’s neat,
To really grasp what awareness can meet.
Think of it like this: you're sitting here today,
Not just
existing
, but noticing the way
The sunlight streams through the window bright,
Or the feeling of warmth within your sight.
That "sense data" – that’s sights and sounds and smells,
The information our senses tell.
It's how we experience things, you see,
Like a vibrant, bustling energy!
And then there's the “observer,” that’s you and me,
Confirming what we perceive, you agree?
We take those sensations, raw and new,
And say, "Yes, I
know
this is really true!"
So awareness isn’t just
being
around,
It's noticing the world, on solid ground.
It's being present, attentive and keen,
A mindful moment, a beautiful scene!
Does that make sense to you? Any questions arise? Let’s discuss!
