Like me for example -- from my perspective, consciousness and awareness are synonymous. And attention is the act of placing ones awareness on any given cognitive object, or thought. |
And I have a different perspective -- to me, they're not the same thing. Consciousness, the way I look at it, is Oneness, All-That-Is-Aliveness; whereas Awareness is the practice of waking up or paying attention. My consciousness is creating my reality, but my awareness has me appreciating that reality.
