Self-Aware

At the moment when I see the word self-aware, it represents being aware of our prejudices, our trauma and our impact on others in the world. I believe the intent here is that, through self-modulation, you will change the world for those around you, you’ll show up for them. You’re righting a wrong in this world. You may know how this feels because the world may not have shown up for you.

However, awareness of self is watching the watcher, which is the Buddhist way of the world. You watch the self and to understand and illuminate. There’s no judgment or reacting or pain of being less than. I would argue that being aware of the self is the aim here. To seek non-suffering. This is semantics, I know, but it's still an important distinction.
