Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

As you already know there are several different ways or types of awareness with the main one for self-protection being such you can tell when all in normal and trigger your spidey sense when abnormal enters the arena. When abnormal hits you have to have several layers of understanding, knowledge and skills to trigger an appropriate and legal response to abnormal, i.e., a threat that may encompass aggression/violence. 

Principles of Awareness: those little snippets of data and experience that are stored in one's memories that the mind looks to in the creative development or retrieval of creative responses necessary to handle things. 

Principles of Awareness

• knowledge (normal vs. abnormal).
• understanding.
• familiarity.
• experiences.
• training, practice and applicable methodologies (skills).
• creativity.
• continuous stress oriented adrenal conditioned experiences be it training or reality. 

There are those moments when you must achieve the ability to recognize, either subconsciously or consciously, that within an environment/situation what is normal vs. abnormal. Even when the old spidey sense tingles sending the hairs on the back of your neck to twitching you still have to have something stored in memory, knowledge through academia or experience or both, to compare to in order to trigger responses adequate, appropriate and legal to the situation/environment. Otherwise, you “freeze.” We don’t want that do we?
