What is the difference between being aware and knowing?

6 posts in this topic

Today I've been wondering about this question.

My conclusions are that there is no real difference between them because one requires another. 

Any of you have clearer answers???

Thanks in advance!!

Well, in a very basic definition sure. "i am aware that the dog is blue" vs "i know the dog is blue"

When it is spoken about here or in self actualization work, this is not really an accurate definition.

I would watch leo's video on the topic. 

Knowing has to do with thought. Awareness is not thought.

Awareness is the actual experience. Knowing is the thought that comes after it in order to explain it.

"God is not a conclusion, it is a sudden revelation. When you see a rose it is not that you go through a logical solipsism, "This is a rose, and roses are beautiful, so this must be beautiful." The moment you see it, the head stops spinning thoughts. On the contrary, your heart starts beating faster. It is something totally different from the idea of truth." -Osho

Awareness is experience minus the story.


If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life. But with confidence you have won, even before you start.” -- Marcus Garvey
