doesnt everything have self awareness?

...2nd density doesnt have self awareness and gaining that marks the jump into 3rd density?

OK, let's break things down a bit. Most people associate 2D with the domesticated house pet. These are borderline 3D already. And then there's all the other medium/large-sized (typically furry/mammalian) more familiar animals. Like your beavers. And giraffes!

Here's what's most often overlooked (and underappreciated):

2D spans approximately 4 billion years, 7/8ths of which are spent in a purely cellular/genetic state. Pause there and think about that for a moment. Strictly speaking, 2D isn't animals & plants. But animal/plants are comprised of cells.

The appearance of animals/plants occurs at the very late stages of 2D when those cellular structures begin to organize into specialized organs (from hearts, lungs, brains & gonads, to eyes, ears & tongues, to that marvelous skin mesh—or exoskeleton, should that be your case—that wraps the whole thing together) which bundle up to form an organism proper. This is colloquially known as the "Cambrian Explosion" (~500 million years ago). All major/active phyla (body plans) today "suddenly" appeared then. (*For those who wish to ponder this further, think 2D.6)

So when people talk about 2D, they are usually only skimming over the surface: that last 1/8th of the 2D spectrum. At its core, 2D is purely cellular/genetic. The resultant animal/plant is the "apex" achievement of 2D (which naturally leads to the "erection" of one of those candidate lifeforms into 3D almost "right away").

Whew, that was a bit of an introduction.



With that in mind, you may begin to grasp the awareness of 2D: it is instinctual. It is not individuated. Does one cell say "I am distinctively John Doe, I like board games, and my favorite color is green"? When does the cell end and the giraffe begin? What is doing the thinking? What is aware of what?

You see a flock of birds or a school of fish flying/swimming in unison. Yes, their bodies are distinctively separate: you see "many" copies of the same body plan and think them individuated (because you yourself are individuated/self-aware), but their awareness has no "selfness" to it. Selfness requires a "you" for there to be a "me". The awareness of 2D may be likened to racial/species awareness. It isn't a huge deal for one of its members to die. The "law" of 2D is propagation/multiplication of the species: to make more copies/duplicates of itself (keeping that species cyclically reincarnated and evolving/disseminating its gene pool further).

This is, however, a sign that self-awareness is right around the corner. It just begins with the duplication of bodies first. Duplicate bodies allow for a sort of mirroring effect in mind, in which the appropriate 2D candidate may look upon itself (in the reflection of another member of the species) and undergo the "you, me, different, not same?" realization that sparks 3D/self-awareness.

This is super evident with house pets (and many farm animals) when paired with an already individuated/self-aware 3D mirror which speeds up the process significantly.

i guess im asking what self awareness means. theyre obviously aware of their bodies cause they take care of themselves

It's just instinctual "survival awareness". Physical maintenance requires no self-awareness. Don't forget 2D is unveiled, so it operates completely in harmony with the universe/nature. This is difficult enough to understand considering 3D entities are veiled from that vast underlying ocean of intrinsic metaphysical (deep mind) and spiritual awareness (it's worse on Earth where most of the population is "stuck" on the teeny, tiny tip of the iceberg, believing that's all there is to it and make no effort to dive deep underneath), enhancing the apparent individuation in self-identity. Recall 3D before the universal veiling experiment: there was en ever-present, undeniable awareness that all things were interconnected and part of the same.

Either way, self-awareness simply means individuation of a "me" from a "you".
