”Transparency of awareness”

Awareness includes all thinkable and unthinkable eventualities, without loosing sight of the goal. By trying to assign without recognizing clear forms, lifts distances and space and lets you have an insight into an area, which doesn¹t only correspond with the already experienced. ”Transparency of awareness” for things which haven¹t been thought before, is moving closer.
