1. Self-aware is 1st stage. It is like to establish a reaction path to the advanced mind. Next stage is to use that path to use the advanced my. So there are 2 things here.
2. I am at stage 1. I am thinking how to build the path. The philosophy is like in building any reaction path: repetition. Question is :what is the stimulus?
3. In any situation, there are more than 1 way to react/solve. There are many aspects to differentiate them. For the moment we put them in a linear scale: the interpersonal warm/the warm of your [personality] reaction.
From 1 = extremely cold/indifferent
to 5 = extremely warm/friendly/extrovert. Now there is
4 = interested/observative mind is good enough. At the moment my mind is at
2 = uninterested in new people/friendly but reserved .
The logic behind is this: when I want to shift from scale 2 to 4, I have to stay self-aware. Now if I change to 4 in every encounter (which from an outside observer is some change in character), I will have to stay self-aware repeatedly. This way the path to self-aware/advanced mind will be established.
Is that so?
