Awareness I have lots of, and now anger at the imposition of things that control my life. I want to become something else rather then one of all the others. Then motivations of others astound and sicken me at the same time, for the simple fact that I am also a product of this environment. I wish to evolve because I am nothing as is everyone and everything else, good time bad all the same time and at the same time, death unattainable in life’s form of constant movement. I am bored and there no where to get to all levels of everything are set in stone. life’s challenge is stale and I am stuck. I want to be out and moving creating and beginning …..

Well, I believe that your question can be approached from a variety of avenues.

And while you may believe you are "aware", I believe that your level of awareness has simply led you to erroneous conclusions or applied erroneous perceptions, reasons, bias's, preconcieved notions, justifications, etc. to your observations.

One approach would be to increase your "awareness" --more towards the pursuit of "enlightenment" to correct your erroneous perceptions and conclusions which are controlling you -- as the bulk of what is controlling you is NOT from "without" as you presently believe.

Yes, there ARE some things that you cannot do anything about, but to accept them -- and THAT is actually acting upon it.

Most of what you report is on account that it appears that way because, in part, you believe these things to be.

What keeps coming into my mind as I write this response is that the NUMBER ONE thing that you need to do is to MAKE SOME KIND OF DECISION AND ACT UPON IT!!!

Any decision -- as in a poor decision is better than no decision; as even a 'poor' or 'wrong' decision at least moves you in a direction -- albeit 'backwards' -- but there is always a lesson to be learned in this.

Do NOT fall into the trap many do by allowing "...paralysis through analysis..."

Doing nothing will get you exactly that -- nothing.

We ALL are products of MANY things -- both external and internal. Our job is to identify these 'programs' and change them throuigh initiating "new causes" which create "new effects."

Whether we are "somthing" or "nothing" is a perception which is based upon an 'angle of vision', and it like MANY things is NOT an absolute.

For so much "Nothingness" that you claim to exist, when I look around I sure see a WHOLE lot of "something". What then would you call what is it that I am seeing and experiencing?

For instance from the perspective of our importance to and our impact on "the universe", I will agree that we may be nothing more than a "fly speck on the window pane of the universe". However, when you apply "The Snowflake Principle" which states that there are NO two 'things' that are precisely alike -- and that you are, in fact, unique. And then add that together with the consideration of the possiblity that you actually house "a divine spark" which is, in fact, a "piece of the divine" -- again, this gives you "specialness -- or "somethingness".

If you and the rest of us and all creation were actually "nothing", then you wouldn't be alive, drawing breath and experiencing what you are experiencing. To be "no-thing" is to not be alive or living -- regardless of how you might think, feel or believe about your QUALITY of living.

Happiness is simply the ability and freedom to pursue goals, attain them, and then set additional goals. Sure you will find that some goals are 'blocked' -- which gives way to frustration. Readjusting your goals -- making corrections, and proceeding...and even overcoming frustration again leads to happiness.

You are the power behind Decision.

Decide!!!

It seems you merely require a paradigm shift, for you are, believe it or not, a free individual! You may believe you have nowhere to get to, but that is dependent upon how you view your goals. whether you look outside the box's box or not. If you follow the thought-pattern presented, you may very well portray pain and pleasure as equally feelings. But truth be told, they contain much more valuable keys than simply being figures. You mustn't forget that, though you are wielding awareness, you are .. human. Humans, though capable of incredible transcendence, are simply creatures at the root's end.

Being human is something yo.

awareness as you explain it is frontal lobe activity. The rest are products of the amygdala, thalamus, and upper midbrain. You simply need to constantly focus on the awareness part of things and you will become very happy indeed.
Sartre can be helpful for these issues on meaning etc.

most people are existentialists today whether or not they are aware of it.
