Awareness Factor

When does awareness begin?
And from where does it come?
Everything or function has a source.
Who directs and influences its action.

When or does awareness end?
If so, who determines its demise?
Does it begin at birth?
Does it end at death?

I suspect newborns feel
that the warmth they experienced
for nine months has been altered.
They discern and detect a disconnect.

They long and crave the love they've
known. They see things beyond themselves
that force them to communicate in new and
different ways, such as moving and crying.

From a Biblical perspective, the deceased
Christian becomes quickly aware that their
environs have changed, and their terrestrial
bodies have put on a celestial form.
