Are human beings aware of all unknown things? To be aware of an unknown thing is a threshold of human being’s knowledge. We are under our consciousness which constantly realizes all entities surrounding the box of our knowledge. In a passive condition, an unknown thing becomes entirely conceivable since it has been acknowledged by our box of knowledge.

How can we be aware of all unknown things? Every single object which we encounter becomes a familiar thing which we are grasping at the moment. Surreptitiously, we apprehend the particularity of the object by classifying it according to a category which we have known what category that is and by defining it with the result that our mind can approach it as something dissimilar from what we have known.

But, how can we truly be aware of an unknown thing in view of the fact that we have not known the unknown thing? Is it possible for us to be aware of with what we have not been familiar? Human being’s knowledge is constructed by the act of construing and unravelling every object. Despite the fact that the brain does not have a bit of datum which it is facing, the brain will be processing and linking it by way of and in its complex treasure which it has had.

Our awareness is always aware of everything provided that we can actively realize that we are undoubtedly aware of it. We, however, often ignore them. Here, our awareness goes the other self which can still be active in being aware of the reality. Is our awareness inactive when we are not in the active condition? Admittedly, we cannot answer the question because when we are not aware of something, we cannot put a verdict of what is happening or what that is.

No matter however the unknown things seem, we really touch them as peculiar or bizarre objects because of our preliminary understanding of them. In other words, unknown things unavoidably appear in front of our awareness provided that we are trying to comprehend them. Or, probably I should set my sentence upside down: provided that we are trying to comprehend unknown things, the unknown things must be appearing in front of our apprehension.

Well, do we still have a term “unknown” in the world? While we start systematizing an unknown thing, we really turn “the unknown thing” into the known thing because we have traversed the unknown thing by virtue of putting aside “unknown” and decode the thing to be conceivable in accordance with our preliminary understanding itself. Decisively, we can say that the unknown things are by no means unknown incessantly now that the unknown things can be unveiled during the time that we are aware of them. As far as they are knowable, they are not indeed unknown things.[]
