I am in a place. I sense the place, myself within the place.
What is the place?
What is my connection to the place?
My body is in that place; through my sensual faculties I begin to comprehend the place and my place in it.
This is the process of perception.
I hear any sounds. I may smell smells. I can feel my feet on the ground. I may feel external qualities against my skin. I look at the place and begin to see things.
These sparks of information infiltrate my brain, information is gained and communicated, and pushed back out onto the place.
What is this information? How does it compute? How does it define itself as comprehension?
This is the process of cognition.
I want to begin to become active in the place, beyond the slow movement of being in the place.
I must make a choice of action.
What purpose is the action I take? What is the reasoning behind that action, beyond the primal biological and unconscious needs to function within the place?
I move my body, my arms, my eyes, my legs. I breathe deeper. I breathe shallower. Then I do not notice my breath, it is functioning as primal connector. It is clearly dependent on an external matter. I move my eyes, my legs, my arms, my body.
I choose direction.
The place defines direction by the objects and spaces within it. I am a transient object in space, a 3-dimensional form moving within the 4th dimension of time. I am partially conscious of all this.
How is the awareness defined? How can it be described?
This is the process of consciousness.
