Subjective awareness is as unique as is every living soul upon this planet. Since awareness invariably gives rise to one’s belief, the existing spectrum of personal beliefs is equally varied across the globe. Personal awareness, which incorporates self-awareness and awareness of the extended environment, is a product of multiple processes and sources which have prevailed in the course of our respective lives and which underpin our life narratives. Since our awareness and the belief which follows determines our choices, preferences and decisions in life, essentially the course of our lives bar that beyond our control, it becomes imperative for those who wish to enhance their awareness of their awareness in order to bring about more meaningful and gratifying change, to become familiar with the processes at play.
Our first exposure to a source of information contributing to our awareness is the formative years. Undoubtedly this grounding is the most influential and determining of our ultimate life narrative. Following this initial space we become exposed to peer interaction, formal education and multiple feeds of information as our presence and engagement upon life’s stage expands. But a critical component lies at the heart of the information feed – our state of mind (SOM). Our SOM is a composite of all those influences which were brought to bear upon us from day zero (which was actually in utero where the foetal brain has already matured to become receptive to extraneous influences and maternal chemistry) until the present time and incorporates both cognitive as well as emotional components.
This is poignantly illustrated in basic neurophysiology: Early awareness develops from a feed provided by the senses and the synthesis of this information into an intelligible representation of the ‘real’ world – the so called ‘bottom-up’ process. But once sufficient subjectivity has developed this will in turn filter or bias that which is allowed to flow through to awareness-acceptable levels via a ‘top-down’ process. In this way the SOM will always be operative in biasing the perception and integration of ‘acceptable’ feeds. But over the past plandemic period a new variable arrived on the block - unprecendented manipulation and censorship of the information feed emanating from the formal media, social media and multiple miscellaneous sources, all orchestrated by the Powers That Be (PTB) and their lackeys. Exploiting the fear-based amygdala centre and an associated SOM common to the masses, the PTB created and perpetuated a global narrative which exists to the present time.
But there exists an SOM which has at its core a curiosity, healthy cynicism, an aversion to inconsistency and the courage to stand up against the strong current of the driven popular narrative. These folk, their common SOM and their persistence represent the last bastion in defense of maintaining a shared balance of information and supporting unfettered reasoning.

Curiosity - I remember having that from early on. Also a sense of something not being right if it went against what made sense to me. I would dig and dig. I still do.
