(0:00:20) - Reclaiming Our Own Awareness and Beliefs (13 Minutes)

We explore the process of reclaiming our own awareness and how it's a part of life's maturing process. We come into the world with a blank slate and rely on the opinions and ideas of others to make sense of the world. This is a big part of the role that culture and society plays, giving us templates to build our own opinions off of. However, these opinions can outlive their usefulness and need to be let go. Reclaiming our own awareness means having our own opinion and holding our beliefs up to scrutiny. Life is always presenting us with something new, which is an opportunity to learn and grow.

(0:13:45) - Awareness in Personal Growth (5 Minutes)

We recognize that we come into the world with a blank slate and with no predetermined beliefs. To truly understand something, we must experience it. This can lead to us changing our beliefs and perspectives, and even how we express ourselves. We can choose to ignore or pay attention to what we learn, and this can lead us either to a state of conscious awareness or unconscious ignorance. We strive to know the truth, and we can do this by reclaiming our own awareness and not blindly following what we are told.

(0:18:56) - The Pursuit of Truth and Awareness (3 Minutes)

As we mature, we are able to reclaim our own awareness and look deeper into life. We are given the choice to engage with life on different levels, and if we truly want to know the truth, we must be willing to pursue it on its own terms, even if it means challenging our own beliefs. This is the choice before us, and it is only through our own level of engagement that we can truly know the whole truth.
