does higher level of awareness desired by everyone?:)))
of course not.... :))
otherwise the earth would be a true paradise.... lol
but people who can experience spirituality in this short life are the lucky ones because animals do not know how to do that.....

Perception awareness is the "knowning" sensed by 5 senses.
Cognitive awareness is the "knowning" processed in the brain.
You are very much right when saying, "when we try to project our own taught or learned "knowledge," we are still crawling in someone's used light....
as far as i can understand, the highest level---an awakened bliss---is to let our own "mind" go, because we simple cannot "get it" :))"
The challenge is how? :))
Also, does higher level of awareness desired by everyone?:)))

...I think 晁文元所说的"觉" means "awareness". He mentioned 3 level of awareness: preceptive level, cognitive level and transcendental(spiritual) level. Only the awareness in spiritual level we call it "enlightment"...
nice interpretation, s.d.!!!
some of the words are still fuzzy, that is, we seem to know them....for example, what's the difference between "perception" and "cognitive awareness"??
in other words, when we try to project our own taught or learned "knowledge," we are still crawling in someone's used light....

right? is that why the Zen Buddhist masters meditate for years?
古人比现代人简单多了,简单常常具有穿透力,我想他们比我们更被“光”照亮着,呼吸着更清新的“空气”,而我们现在却在夜里在黑暗中寻找着生命的感觉和"觉",作舟的诗"Walking the Heart Road"里让人感受到诗人已有很多的“觉”。。。而为了更加不迷惑“It’s getting dark now/Let’s hit the road!“。。。
SO only "照之觉" is enlightenment.
"触之觉" are feelings, physical responses, mostly biological based.
"悟之觉" are thoughts, intuitions, poetry, etc.:)
"Love" in different levels are different kinds of love. :)

Enjoy reading the discussion.
Feel compelled to make comments. :)
I think 晁文元所说的"觉" means "awareness". He mentioned 3 level of awareness:
preceptive level, cognitive level and transcendent(spiritual) level. Only the awareness in spiritual level we call it "enlightment". The awareness in other levels was given all kinds of different names. :))
This painting by Alex Grey entitled, Oversoul is an extraordinarily beautiful representation of how all things are connected; of how all things are the same. Alex's visionary art is the result of his own visionary experiences. I attempt to explain with words, along with others, the infinite beauty of these realms. I appreciate Alex Grey because I find that his paintings evoke feeling, perception and understanding where mere words would fail utterly. I would like to thank Alex for his permission to use this image.
