Can one be aware without memory

[anagogy]

Is conciousness synonymous with spirit? Is awareness synonymous with consciousness? 

From my perspective Nicholas, there are some fine hairs we may split with regards to awareness and consciousness.

To me, consciousness is more similar to what we call "mind", and the only difference between it and "spirit" is that mind involves duality.  It involves subject/object relationships.

So you've got mind, body, and spirit.  All are consciousness if you want to think of it that way.  Mind is inner projection (time/space).  Body is outer projection (space/time).  

Mind and matter are reflections of one another.  You can think of "spirit" as consciousness that has liberated itself from subject/object relationships.  It has no inner or outer.  The function of the spirit is to unify or synthesize two seemingly opposite sides of a magnetic pole. It is the "shuttle" between the illusory parts.  I call spirit "awareness" because it seems more "fine" to me, but perhaps that is personal bias.
