I am talking about the consciousness/awareness that receives data in
the
form of eye:sights, ear:sounds, nose:smells, tongue:tastes,
body:physical sensations and mind:thoughts. It is the mere reception
of
these stimuli that turns our inner world and outer world so it's to
our
advantage to get to know the interaction between stimulation and
response intimately.
Without great awareness in the present moment, we are carried along
by
emotional reactions to events instead of actually knowing and
understanding them. More often than not, that impulsive reactiveness
brings us much misery and pain. But if that same consciousness is
harnessed to focus on this never-ending stream of events moment to
moment, it begins to understand them in a very different way and
changes
the mind at a fundamental level.
The ability to touch that understanding has declined over the last
2500+
years and there will come a time when that knowledge will be
forgotten.
But it will be rediscovered sometime in the very distant future
because
it it cyclical as all things are.

Beg pardon for the interruption: but actually that ability has
increased in
the last millennia. What hominids had 2500+ years ago was a primitive
sense
of reality, which gave rise to all that mysticism which prevails so
far.
Consciousness, defined as advanced awareness, was the last part to
develop.
That function allows you to build "Devuan Linux" instead of mixing
with
the sheep.
You are confusing "thinking" which observes and manipulates external
data with "knowing" which is a highly developed internal awareness of
how incoming data interacts with our sensory organs and how that in turn
generates unconscious knee-jerk emotional reactions that can lead to
rather unpleasant, harmful consequences.
