Hello I would like to ask a question in relation to self remembering.
My practice has always revolved around observing the external world and in observing my self, even though it can be hard to balance the too and not get to drawn to one over the other.
When doing this it is good and can help allot but impressions still get mistransformed due to identification and sometimes I admit the ego can have an influence in the practice i.e. desire to awaken, tension etc and also in more subtle ways.
But I now understand that we can be perceiving thought, emotion, the body, the external world and have absolutely no cognizance of ourselves consciousness.
Samael Aun Weor says that in order to transform impression and listen to the new we need to be self cognizant. Is this self cognizance the same thing as self rememebering.
Sometimes I self observe and its like I’m seeing but cant really separate due still being identified.
I can see how that self cognizance can allow for better self discrimination as well and will probably help better with transformation of impressions (this I haven’t discovered yet).
Is this self cognizance the same thing as self remembering and also
Also by being in the moment it can be felt rather than trying to create something artificial. And even when trying to be in the moment it can be only outside.
I'm going to experiemnt with this but i would appreciate any feedback and comments
Thanks

Self-cognizance, the third state of consciousness, is the same as Self-remembering. It is a state of alert novelty, whereby we perceive new information and impressions. It has a unique quality that can only be known through experimentation; it goes beyond the intellect and our psychological comfort-zone, so keep working at it. If you are patient and persistent, you will come to grasp, in a more profound and lasting way, the harmony of the soul in connection with God. Self-remembering has a radical transformative power that can only be understood through experience. You cannot understand it by reading about it, yet in having the experience, you can recognize certain qualities that resonate within the literature of the great Initiates.
Self-observation is one step, but unfortunately cannot take us to comprehension. We need to be remembering God's presence here and now, and then to direct that consciousness towards perceivable phenomena: our thoughts, feelings and impulses. This is observation of the self, which is powered by our connection to and remembrance of God. Without remembrance, the psychological and spiritual state of the new, we cannot effectively observe ourselves. Many aspirants observe themselves, but few remember God. This is because our observations can be mechanical. To know the difference, you need to awaken. Then you can better grasp how you perceive. That is when things get really interesting and profound.
