The Load of Awareness
Awareness has a load.
To notice, to know, to be conscious adds mass to experience.
This is not overthinking or emotional labor.
It is the weight of perceiving.
Naming the load allows awareness to exist without asking it to become lighter or less present.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does "knowing more" about myself feel so heavy?
You are carrying "The Load of Awareness." Awareness has Information Density. The more you see, the more your brain has to "hold" and "integrate." Naming awareness as a "weight" helps you realize why you need more rest as you grow. You aren't "tired of life"; you are Loaded with Data. This is a sign of a High-Density Mind.
How do I carry the "Load of Awareness" without burning out?
You use Selective Inhabitation. You don't have to "think" about everything you are "aware" of at once. Let the awareness sit in the "background" of your architecture. By not "actively processing" every data point, you reduce the Cognitive Friction, allowing you to carry the weight of your insights with Structural Grace.
