Awareness is the ability to see with Knowing-ness. It is pure Consciousness without identification. It is the essence of what we are within. Looking outside ourselves, from a point of Conscious Awareness within, we need language to explain, explore and understand Existence in a physical sense.
Mind is Awareness without knowing reality. It is perception without the knowing Consciousness or Reality. Mind, therefore, is anti-knowing-ness. We do not know with the Mind, we can only label, analyze and arrange concepts in a logical order.
We try to express Knowing through language which is only a symbol of our Conscious Knowing, but this is not what we actually know. The Mind is a merely a container that holds ideas, memories and unconscious content.
When the attention is turned within through our Feelings and not our thoughts, we are certain Knowing-ness exists. This knowing-ness exists beyond words and without words. It is experienced as a unity of thought and be-ing.
We realize it is the truth of our be-ing on a level of Conscious realization, well beyond the Mind, and a part of something much deeper and richer within.
Awareness is how we perceive reality in both the inner and outer worlds. Attention is how we choose to give direction to Consciousness, so our Awareness can respond with understanding.
We are complete, just as we are, but the division of our attention can cause a split in Awareness. This can cause great confusion.
It is only when our attention is seated deep within, and our Awareness is grounded in the core of our be-ing, that we are able to understand and accept reality "as is". This is our true face, and our total be-ing of Consciousness.

Gosh, this is so well expressed! Amazing!
I’m still learning and trying to feel all of this. My mind is a barrier. At least I recognise this now.✨
