Awareness

Awareness of others can lead to self-awareness.

But, many times it doesn't seem to.  Something blocks the otherwise natural transition from what I see in others to what I see in me.  In our day and age, it seems that endless activity inhibits that process.  We, as a culture, often just don't stop long enough to let it this process happen.  And, our affluence often seems simply provide both the opportunity and the boredom to allow this default mode to perpetuate.

Awareness of others can lead to self-awareness.
And, self-awareness can lead to God-awareness.
God-awareness leads to others-awareness.
