Awareness is the ultimate in perception. It is the perception being supported and enhanced in depth by assimilated experience. The better is the assimilation of the experience, the higher is the awareness.

Definition of AWARENESS
Awareness of something separates us from it. We give that something a meaning and that becomes its beingness. That something is separate because that is also the meaning we are giving to it. This makes awareness our ability to sense and give meaning to what we sense.
This meaning comes from our assimilated experience, which assimilates this new sensation too. All our knowledge and awareness comes from this assimilated experience of sensation. The finer is the assimilation of sensation, the sharper is the awareness. One can then perceive in depth.
Sensation, assimilation, and perception occur together as an expanding spiral of awareness.

Misconceptions
1. It is a misconception to think that inanimate objects have no sense perception. The planets sense other planets through gravity. This perception is the basis of awareness in humans, but it is not as sophisticated; so we tend to deny it. Our misconceptions come from our human-centric fixations.
2. Awareness is more common than we think. There are fields of awareness all around us. These are fields of different types. It is a matter of getting tuned to them.
