> Try this exercise. Do not think and let your mind clear. Ideas will surface. By what process did they surface? Or clear your mind entirely then try to perform some complex task. You will be able to. How did you do this without thought? We’ve all had sudden insights without deliberation or thought. Where did these come from? By what process did you arrive at them? Most of the things we do or think are not deliberative and definitely not structured with language.

Not to pile on, but isn't this actually a distinct example of _lack_ of awareness? As in, our brains have sparks of creativity without understanding the inception of those sparks?

Perhaps I'm conflating some definition of "aware" with another definition of "awareness"?
