 difference between consciousness / conscious and awareness/ aware


  • Animals are aware, like of their surroundings and can act accordingly, like if a wolf is after them, they know to run, it's innate(төрөлхийн, угийн). Consciousness is when you are aware of your surroundings and you can also process the information that allows you to take rational(бодлоготой, зүй зохистой) actions, reserved for higher functioning life forms, like humans.

  • Consciousness is having a gut(гэдэс, гүзээ) feeling. Intuition(зөн совин, зөн билэг) as some would say. It is that warning feeling you get when something is about to go wrong.

    Awareness is instinct(төрөлхийн зан ааш). Knowing what is going on around you and what to do when something happens.

    Animals are both.. They have both characteristics more than humans do because they have simple brains. They are not as complex as we are

  • It's a difference of degree, you are conscious while you are standing in a crowd but you may not be aware that your pocket is being picked. When one is aware they know what is going on around them, when you're conscious you are only awake.

    Quote on Awareness
    May our heart's garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.

  • I think small babies can be consciousness but not aware. Maybe even animals do the same

    Conscious = Mentally active
    Awareness = Conscious of self. (Self conscious)

  • We are all conscious but we are not all aware.

  • Often I use the terms consciousness and awareness interchangably, but it depends on the context and what is being spoken about.

    There may be differences between consciousness and awareness, or there may be no differences between consciousness and awareness...whoever uses the terms, you must ask what they mean to understand what they are saying.

    Living consciously is another concept entirely...living consciously also does not necessarily mean doing anything, just being aware of what is happening - as opposed to being unconscious of what is going on.
