I am originally from India. I am settled in United States since 1969. I love mathematics, philosophy and clarity in thinking.

The Self
The Self is the capability that can potentially become aware of the whole universe. But self, as it actually exists, is identified with elements of the universe. The self is not aware of such identification. It is, therefore, limited in its awareness.
The self extends itself as a mind to establish awareness. The mind then extends itself as a body to execute its directives.

Please see Glossary: Postulate Mechanics
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.

The Beingness
The Beingness is the matrix generated when Self identifies with the Universe. The elements of this matrix are made up of matter, energy and thought.
Matter and energy elements of the matrix represent the physical body of the beingness. The thought elements represent the mental matrix of the mind. The whole matrix operates as one.
The beingness is manifested in all things from inanimate matter to organic cells that are alive. The cells have beingness from a simple unicellular type to the most sophisticated type of a human individual.
Aliveness is an attribute that enters beingness when its matrix reaches a certain point of coordination. Consciousness is another attribute that enters beingness when its matrix reaches a certain point of assimilation. Death occurs when the assimilation and coordination are lost.
.
Misconception
It is a misconception to believe that the body, mind and the operating principle of coordination and assimilation can be separated from each other.

More Misconceptions
You may discover more misconceptions on your own, if you contemplate on each sentence of the above definition with mindfulness. Please see:

Then, you may end up improving upon this definition too.
Good luck!

I have been giving Subject Clearing sessions to my good friend William Chad Holland on Universe and other subjects, and his wonderful perspective has helped me tweak up these definitions even further. Chad is a retired psychotherapist with Scientology experience. He did OT levels in the seventies and trained up to Class VIII and C/Sed at the San Francisco Org. This is a wonderful partnership with him of researching deeper into knowledge.
He has earned his membership in the Hall of Unknowables.

The knowable is sensed but it still needs to be given meaning with the help of postulates. Postulates have existed since the ancient times, and they have improved over the time. As a result we have a much better knowledge of the universe today.
.
Definition of KNOWABLE
The ancients postulated earth, water, air, fire and aether as the elements that helped describe the universe. Today these elements have been refined to matter, energy, space and time. All that we sense is understood in terms of these elements.
Since Einstein equated energy to matter, both of these may be combined together into a single element called substance. We then find that thought can also be included in the element of substance.
We may further associate space and time with the element of substance according to the theory of relativity. Space comes to represent the extents of substance, and Time comes to represent the duration of substance.
This reduces all the elements to the sole element of substance. We may say that the knowable universe starts to take shape with the postulate of substance.
.
Misconceptions
1. It is a misconception to think that the primary division exists between the physical and spiritual “universes”. The spiritual and physical domains may be very different, but they both consist of substance. The primary division is between the knowable universe and the Unknowable.
2. MEST is an acronym formed in Scientology from the initial letters of Matter, Energy, Space and Time. Scientology makes the error of limiting the designation of MEST to the physical universe only. But MEST applies equally to the spiritual universe which is made of thought substance.
