Esoteric to Exoteric: attempted with the word "awareness"

Awareness:

~ We may experience changing states. One change of state we may notice from time to time is an opening of awareness.

~ Early awareness could include an identification with appearances.

~ Another awareness may lead to noting an individualizing process.

~ One may note a gradual awakening.

~ One may come to note turning consciousness to the "levels" upon which one actually lives and functions.

The word "awareness" comes from the word, aware. "Aware" comes from the word "ware" which we hear little these days. It means watch, be on one's guard, and take care; so, has to do with consciousness. "Aware" means having knowledge, perception, or realization. Check out some of its synonyms. Additional meanings include having knowledge and cognizance. It is much about having knowledge and understanding. But it may refer to a process and more.
