James,
What an interesting question!!!
I know this is not directly linked to your question but it would be
of interest to me to explore the concept of awareness generally.
What is awareness?
Is it a phenomenon or the experience of phenomena?
is it instinct?
is it culturally formed?
is it socially constructed?
does awareness come from curiosity that is allowed exploration?
Quote:
"It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the whole of curiosity of enquiry. For this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of ffreedom, without this i
t goes to wreck and ruin without fail".
(Albert Einstein, cit Rogers,1983, Freedom to Learn for the 80's)
