I love the idea that the three levels of self-awareness are: 1) awareness of the self 2) awareness of the world and 3) awareness of the self.
We can’t avoid the question that’s posed when I talk about our self-awareness level in the past. I know we had to start at the level of self-awareness 1 but what I’m really saying is that when it comes to self-awareness, it’s very hard to find a way to go into the next level. In the game, you can’t just go into the next level because there’s no way to go into the first level.
I believe the term self-awareness is a bit of a misnomer. Because there’s a difference between self-awareness and self-awareness of yourself, a person who’s self-aware of the self can’t not be a person who’s self-aware of the world. A person who’s self-aware of the self is someone who can’t not be a person who’s self-aware of the world.
The question is whether or not you are self-aware of yourself, or self-aware of your surroundings. The former is your awareness of yourself, the latter your awareness of your surroundings. This is what makes us human, to have this self-awareness.
A person who cannot identify with the world cannot identify with the world or has this self-awareness. That’s what makes us Human.

This is true to a certain extent. However, it also means that the person is not aware of the world around them, and may be unaware of their surroundings, not to mention that, because they have this awareness of their surroundings, they may also have this self-awareness.The question is whether or not you are self-aware of your surroundings. The former is your awareness of yourself, the latter your awareness of your surroundings.
At the core of any self-awareness is a sense of self. For example, if I’m aware that I live in my house, I can say, “I’m aware of the house.” If I’m aware that I live in my car, I can say, “I’m aware of the car.” In the same way, I may be aware of my surroundings, and may be aware of myself, but I am not aware of my surroundings.
In his book “The Self-Aware Mind,” psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote, “A man with a self-awareness of his own mind is not only free from illusions, but, in fact, from delusions as well.” These are the same words that appear in Freud’s famous “Project for a Scientific Psychology,” which he wrote in 1912. He wrote that self-awareness is the most important thing a person can have.
While I agree with Jung, the idea of a person with a self-awareness of their own mind is an ideal, rather than a fact. The reality is that most people on Earth have no self-awareness. Most of us have no awareness of our own thoughts. That’s why we have so many thoughts in our heads, the thoughts that create us and our actions. In the end our thoughts create a reality, and reality is what we create.
