Can we ever really be fully aware of our whole being? Can we ever have an awareness of our self as a whole being?

There is no doubt of course that we are aware, but just how aware are we? Have we any way of becoming more aware of what we are not yet aware of?

This seems impossible unless our awareness levels are increasing and expanding right now. If they are indeed expanding, well eventually we could be fully aware of our whole being.

The only way to be whole as your self is to love from your whole self. Love is the only complete wholeness and for the self to be whole also it must be full of love. The whole self must live from full love to be fully whole. This can be achieved simply by living as the real you as much as possible. The more that you can be your true self, the more that you can love. The more that you are afraid to be your whole self, the more that you are fearing being this whole self. Love more and fear disappears into the love and your whole self will then emerge from this total love as well.

Has anyone so far in mankind's existence ever reached this level of complete awareness and perfect love?

I believe that some have, perhaps Jesus Christ was one such person who was totally aware of his self and of his own whole being as well as being totally aware of all else as well. He was also perfectly loving in the way that he lived.

It has been said perhaps many times before that we never see things as they really are, we only ever see them as we are. This would imply that we could never be aware of our whole being.

Buddha was reputed to have said that if we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would then change.

He meant here that as our awareness level expands so we also change. Awareness only ever applies to ourselves. To grow forwards in one area of new awareness within ourselves is always more beneficial for us than if we could grow in our awareness of others faults. We should never try to judge others. We can help people from our own awareness, but we can never be fully aware from another person's viewpoint. Our wisdom must begin and end within our self. We can never be wise for another person. Our wisdom is only ever just our wisdom.

We might think that we know the faults and shortcomings of others, but we never do. We can only ever know our own. The Christian bible points this out to us when it says in Mathew 7 verse 3:

"Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to notice the beam that is
