Only those within whose own consciousness the sun rise and set, the leaves burgeon and wither, can be said to be aware of what living is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a constant drip and trickle of life that goes into one's awareness really and consciousness of things.
Only a spiritual being has awareness.
Life is a state of consciousness.
How do you know, right now, that you are aware of being aware, or conscious?
Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality. This view of the world - biocentrism - revolves around the way a subjective experience, which we call consciousness, relates to a physical process. It is a vast mystery and one that I have pursued my entire life.
It is crucial that we develop real awareness of ourselves as citizens of Earth, linked by mutual and indissoluble bonds. When we clearly recognize this reality and ground ourselves in it, we are compelled to take a strict accounting of our way of life.
All living beings, not just animals, but plants and microorganisms, perceive. To survive, an organic being must perceive - it must seek, or at least recognize, food and avoid environmental danger.
Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.
I really think that living is the process of going from complete certainty to complete ignorance.
It is only the consciousness of a nonexistence which allows us to realize for moments that we are living.
