What is self-awareness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"You are not your name, your role, or your body; you are the boundless presence of pure consciousness, realized in the now-here of your being."
According to Osho, self-awareness is the realization that you are not a name, role, or even the body, but a nameless, boundless presence—pure consciousness that is everywhere/nowhere, discovered now-here. When this is seen, the question of 'where' dissolves into the living fact of 'who' you are. This recognition of unlimited being is enlightenment.
It’s noticing that behind your name and body, you are a limitless, quiet aliveness right here, right now.
