Self-Awareness

Come to Me . . . —Matthew 11:28
 
We are often counselled that we need to get in touch with ourselves, self-awareness. As a movement, self-awareness is a bunch of bunk. See if you can decipher this: 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.
 
In fact, a lack of self awareness is not our problem. Once we become children of God our problem is a lack of Christ awareness.  

It is never God’s will that we should be anything less than absolutely complete in Him. Anything that disturbs our rest in Him must be rectified at once, and it is not rectified by being ignored but only by coming to Jesus Christ. If we will come to Him, asking Him to produce Christ-awareness in us, He will always do it, until we fully learn to abide in Him.

When thins seem arise, if we turn to Our Lord and ask Him to increase our awareness of His presence and power in our lives, from that blessing flows.
