Being Fully Conscious Is Being Awake

This isn’t being religious, and there’s no assumption that we are awake.

“I am awake!!”
Yes, the I is activated.

We’re talking about consciousness before we start thinking and talking. Wakefulness is awareness beyond body and mind, the mechanisms that consciousness unwittingly adopted.

We wake up when we realise that
we are nothing but consciousness, 
without mind’s interference.

When we are thinking or talking, consciousness is diverted. Being aware of this diversion, we can still think and talk, but now it is conscious thinking and talking and doing; it’s not the mechanical emotions of pride and oneupmanship.

Being fully conscious is being free of self-promotion.
