According to Osho, self-consciousness is ego-consciousness—a sickness born of comparison, roles, status and the false 'I'—breeding anxiety, jealousy and violence. Self-awareness is soul-consciousness—health and wholeness—an inner awakening independent of education, wealth or approval. By dropping the ego and turning inward, you discover joy, compassion and the 'kingdom of God' within, blessing life without discrimination.
Self-consciousness is worrying about your image; self-awareness is waking up to your real self inside.
