Awareness of universals is called conceiving, and a universal of which we are aware is called a concept.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Paying attention and awareness are universal capacities of human beings.
I have a different idea of a universal. It is of a universal rich with all that is particular, rich with all the particulars there are, the deepening of each particular, the coexistence of them all.
The universal Mind contains all knowledge. It is the potential ultimate of all things. To it, all things are possible.
We coin concepts and we use them to analyse and explain nature and society. But we seem to forget, midway, that these concepts are our own constructs and start equating them with reality.
Hence it happens that one takes words for concepts, and concepts for the things themselves.
The notion of a universality of human experience is a confidence trick and the notion of a universality of female experience is a clever confidence trick.
It is clear that every immediate object of our senses both exists and is real in the primary meaning of these terms so long as we remain aware of the object.
All our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions.
It would help if human experts agreed on the meaning of such basic terms as intelligence, consciousness, or awareness. They don't. It's hard to build something that's incompletely defined.
When something is universal enough in our everyday lives, we take it for granted to the point of forgetting it exists.
