3. Awareness
Awareness is the capacity to see, hear, feel,
taste and smell things as pure sensual
impressions, in the way a new born infant
does.

4. Awareness
• Awareness is knowing what is
happening now.
• An autonomous person is aware.
• This person peels away the layers
of contamination from the Adult
and beings to hear, see, smell,
touch, taste, study and evaluate
independently.

5. Awareness
• Knowing that life is temporal, an aware person
appreciates nature now.
• An aware person experiences that part of the universe
know to the self, as well as the mystery of those
universes yet to be discovered.

6. Awareness
• An aware person is all
there and fully aware.
• People who are aware
know where they are,
what they are doing and
how they feel about it.

7. “If we could first know where we
are and whither we are tending, we
could better judge what to do and
how to do it.“
Abraham Lincoln

8. Awareness
• The first step to integration is
awareness, with the Adult as
executive.
• A person who becomes aware
of acting like a tyrant or a sulk
can decide what to do about
this behavior – whether to
knowingly keep it, own it and
be it or whether to throw it in
the pail along with the rest of
the garbage, if that is what he
or she decides it is.

9. “Everything is grounded in
awareness.“
Frank Perls
