You communicate with your peers, you can work together; walk, laugh, cry, eat, in short, you live and act, but you do everything superficially.
This is the state in which most human beings live: you think you are aware all the time, but you divert your attention from everything you do, you get distracted, you do many things at once and, naturally, you soon forget, you record only a few things in your memory.
Questionnaire for the second state
Answer "yes" or "no".
l. Have you noticed that everything you do and think is quickly forgotten, you don't remember what you were saying and you don't know where you put your keys?
2. Do you do and think about things on the surface without really paying attention? For example, when you are in a class and it ends, do you not even remember what it was about?
3. Do you get carried away too much by feelings and rarely do you reason if that emotion can be beneficial for you or will bring you negative consequences?
4. Do you always think about changing your activity, either because you're bored or because you're in a hurry? Do you want to do many things at once?
5. Do you get distracted very easily because anything diverts your attention from what you are doing, feeling or thinking?
6. Do you always want to please your bodily senses to please yourself despite knowing that it hurts you?
7. Do you blame others for your mistakes, since you believe you are perfect and cannot bear the idea of failing, or do you run away from responsibility for your actions?
8. Do you easily fall into depression because you feel unable to face your reality, you take refuge in denial and sink into sadness?
Conclusion of the second state
If you answered "yes" to five of these eight questions, this means that your life, as you currently live it, is driven by the emotions and the senses. You need to achieve a balance and you still do not have the ability to fulfill your desires and achieve your goals. You often feel victimized, misunderstood, and frustrated.
Most artists and highly sensitive people get caught up in their emotions and feel that life is not fair. The worst mistake is to encourage this thought, because it takes away the strength of the will. You still have a lot to learn, you think you are aware, but the truth is that you do not apply your attention and you live absent.
