Sentient Being

If “sentient beings are composed of the five aggregates, or skandhas: matter, sensation, perception, mental formations and consciousness” ….

let us play with this Wikipedia definition and ask these questions:

how aware are we of our physical presence and how does that matter?

how conscious are we of our 5 senses, are we using them and are there more?

how do we perceive things and is it as acknowledgement, acceptance or judgement?

are our mental formations learned or based on experience, imagination, meditation?

is our consciousness our ability to be in an awakened state tuned in to all that is?

our answers will relate to how we practice sentient being
