This is a work in progress following a top down approach

Version 1
Outline:
There are realy two ways for the human race to build up awareness; one is to spot it in children and nurture it; and the other is to train ourselves to be more aware
Plato's cave allegory is really the goto example for awareness growing
Learning and adhering to a code of honor can be taught to kids
The more sensitive aware kids will get it first
Find the sensitive kids and help them Deal with the stupid a******'s round them
Do you have a strong voice in your head telling you not to do the s*** you shouldn't do? If not you can make one
If you can't dominate your lizard brain get help
Even if you can't ever feel why something is wrong you have to listen to the empaths (Aware-ians) about it or suffer the consequences (I think the capacity for true awareness could be baked in or not)
Overly sensitive aware kids must fight through the layer of narcissistic conformity that covers this planet. Our society may perceive these kids as weak, but in reality they are potentially massive because of their natural awareness. However, I'll bet you a million bucks they tend to get no help (major cause of suicide?)
Teaching them how to reach the "important forms" is where the power is, man
It's not that they're not strong enough to survive the fact is really that NO ONE is strong enough to survive; it's a web of Life; everybody needs everybody else no one can make it alone
So the build awareness system that I am proposing would work as follows:
This system is based heavily on one Dr. Jeffrey Shwartz' work on OCD (The book BrainLock)
Same system, with minor modifications (a little more active), just used to counter internal dishonor relative to a code of honor Instead of just egodistonic ideas
First of all, strength is learned. If your good at learning you can be very very strong, it just takes discipline
Secondly, the brain has a quality they are calling Neuro-plasticity. Therefore theoretically you can design your own internal conscious structure to handle wider complexity, which results in higher awareness
So, the system incorporates this sequence:
Fight (counter attack) the dishonerable idea, then revalue the idea, or in other words label the idea as egodistonic, then refocus your mind (the hardest part)
I find the use of an "inner sword and shield" works on ideas you really hate, but in general I just generate an image that beats it up, kills it, dominates it or neutralizes it; and sometimes it's a sword
When you start out it is difficult, but it becomes easier and easier to the point where it reaches "second nature"
We could have people who've built up their awareness in "martial arts fashion!"
This can be seen as building what Nietzsche called "Master Morality" in individuals
By the way I wish I could buy Dr. Shwartz a yacht or something!/p>
Complete Conformity Among Humans is Bad
We Need a Global Democracy of Democracies that is Augmented by Awareness
Globally, Punishment for Crimes Should be Based on Awareness
