==Description==
 
'''Self-awareness''' is the [[awareness]] of the self as separate from the [[thoughts]] that are occurring at any point in [[time]]. Without self awareness the self [[perceives]] and believes the thoughts that are occurring to be who the self is. Self awareness gives one the option or [[choice]] to [[choose]] thoughts being thought rather than simply thinking the thoughts that are stimulated from the accumulative [[events]] leading up to the circumstances of the [[moment]]. Self awareness results in [[silent]] [[moments]] of [[epiphany]], as the self [[realizes]] and is aware of being the thinker of the thoughts rather than the thoughts that are occupying the [[conscious]] moment.
