Dedication
The little book of Awareness is dedicated to Katie Morgan and Ian
Spicer without whose love and devotion this book and idea would
not exist.
The little book of Awareness is also dedicated to my parents
Stephanie and Glynn O’Collins who surrounded me with love and
gave me everything I ever asked.
Finally, The little book of Awareness is dedicated to all the people
who have trusted me and shown me kindness during my life. If not
for their belief in my ability and compassion for my faults, I would
not have gained the experience that is reflected in the this book
and idea.
I am at best a human with faults. The years it has taken to just
write this book in such a way that any reader might understand
the ideas contained in this book. For the years of undisciplined
behaviour that delayed the production of this book.
I am in debt for all those that have helped me an hurt me. In the
end this book is just an idea, but an idea nonetheless that has
been shaped and grown because of many other people besides
the author.
I am forever grateful.

About this book
The little book of Awareness is a book about an idea. An idea that
not only is life a dream, but that it is possible to define and
understand the rules of the dream.
The little book of Awareness is also a book about a potential
architecture for human knowledge that is complete, easy to
understand and can be shown symbolically.
The little book of Awareness is based on an idea that within the 3
billion bases of DNA within every cell of every human is coded
proteins that code the deepest knowledge of the universe. We
call this code the SolCode and it is the source of the UCADIAN
model. This is what we mean by every person having a “soul”-
every person having the ability to wake up to the knowledge
within themselves.
As The little book of Awareness remains just an idea, no one
reading this book should at all feel this book claims anything to be
true or provable. As an idea, its merits should merely be based on
its usefulness to the reader in their everyday life.
The little book of Awareness as living knowledge
The little book of Awareness is a living object, constantly growing
as more and more people like you add their own insights and
reflections to its essential architecture.
In the first instance, readers like you can log-on through
www.ucadia.com and add your reflections and insights to The
little book of Awareness Awareness (subject to editorial guidelines)
as a permanent contribution.
In the second instance, subscribers to ucadia.com get to vote
once a year to select the best ideas (including the name of the
author) from around the world to be added permanently to The
little book of Awareness for the next edition.

About this book (cont)
The little book of Awareness can never be compared to “dead
knowledge”
Systems of knowledge that have been closed off because the
author has passed or because it is guarded by an orthodoxy are
dead systems of knowledge.
While many dead systems of knowledge are regarded as some of
the greatest scientific and philosophical discoveries of humanity,
they do not allow any generation now or in the future to add their
own ideas, to leave their own mark.
In contrast , The little book of Awareness is and always will be a
living system of knowledge where every single person on the
planet has the right to contribute and debate.
The importance and structure of criticism
Criticism from you or any reader is very important. Without
criticism, The little book of Awareness will remain possibly flawed in
sections. What is equally important as criticism is that it is structured
correctly to make best use. That is why there is a particular way in
which criticism will be handled.
Readers who find what they believe to be a flaw should read the
section on “how to criticize the model” and include their
comments and suggestions in the format suggested.
The ultimate respect of you
The little book of Awareness is a purely fictional idea, nothing
more. I hope you enjoy it. If you happen to find this book useful,
then it is a useful idea.

1. What is
Awareness?
8
1.1 What is awareness?
Given The little book of Awareness is about a thing called
“awareness”, it is best to start with answering what is awareness?
A general understanding of awareness
If you look up the word “awareness” in any general dictionary,
you will find the only listing is as “self-awareness” (meaning “an
awareness of one's own personality or individuality”). However, if
you look up the word “aware”, a much wider meaning is listed,
namely “having or showing realization, perception, or
knowledge”.
There not usually existing a general listing of “awareness” as a
unique listing, we define it to mean “unique perception and/or
knowledge of self and all”.
Awareness as unique knowledge of self or all
The first part of awareness is as unique perception of knowledge.
Examples of knowledge are science, history, society, economics,
mathematics, languages and religion.
Therefore in one sense to say a person “has greater awareness”, it
can mean they have greater knowledge of such subjects.
Awareness as unique perception of self or all
In contrast, unique perception of self or all does not require great
knowledge of science, only of what a person is “feeling”. Unique
perception is completely subjective.
There are some words that are especially related to this aspect of
awareness as they are most commonly used to mean the same
thing. These are: Mind, Consciousness, Ethereal, Ether, Being and
Self.
9
1.1 What is awareness? (cont)
Greater perceptual awareness
Unique perception of all is considered a “higher” form of
awareness and is a basic concept associated with ideas such as
meditation, astral travel, telepathy, spiritual channelling and
healing.
Self-aware life
The rational reason that awareness is not usually listed as an
independent object in the dictionary is not because the concept
does not exist, but because the concept does not exist in reality.
The only evidence of awareness is self-aware lifeforms such as the
human being and other higher-order species on planet Earth.
There is simply no evidence awareness existing independent of a
living thing.
The idea of Awareness as an independent quality “in theory”
Even though awareness as an independently existing quality is
considered impossible, it still exists as a theoretical idea.
Awareness as an independent quality is an idea.
Let’s look then at what we mean by the concept of an idea.
10
1.2 The concept of an idea
It remains a fundamental truth that the greatest advancements in
human civilization have come from the harnessing of the creative
potential of the human mind. It is now sadly a truth that the
greatest destructive potential yet harnessed on Earth also came
from that same potential of the human mind.
That humanity can be so creative and yet so destructive remains
the central paradox of human history.
We have the atomic bomb, created from the minds of great
scientists in the early parts of the 20th century. An idea, when put
into action can result in the total mass destruction of an entire city
in minutes. The mass death of millions upon millions of individual
lives, individual families. Millions of lifetimes destroyed in only
minutes.
We have genetic engineering that opens the possibility of great
cures for human disease as well as the blueprint for terrible
weapons of mass destruction (biological weapons).
We have the pace maker for maintaining steady, consistent
hearts, that has resulted in saving of tens of thousands of individual
lives around the world. We have the humble toaster and even the
personal computer as examples of the genius of human minds.
Isn't it strange then that we forget that so much of the world we
live in- the car, the phone, the TV, the stereo, the music, the
computer, the kitchen, the packaged foods, the house all came
into being because someone put down on paper an idea?
The concept of models
Ideas or concepts rarely are orphans. They are usually part of a set
of ideas. One way to define a set of ideas put into action is the
word “model”.
11
1.2 The concept of an idea (cont)
The daily and constant use of models
Whoever we may be, whatever our age, we use models to meet
our varied needs every day, every waking moment.
We may use a model of religious thought that provides a means of
understanding how the Universe, the human species and your life
makes sense. We may use a model as a means of achieving
meditation. We may use a model as a means of creating a
method of transport such as a car, or a way of cooling food, such
as fridge. We may use a model of how light travels to create TV or
the phone. Or simply, We may use a model to live and work at a
particular location in a particular society.
The average human in the world today may use over a thousand
different models a day, most of the time without thinking about
each model. For instance, when was the last time you stepped
into a bus, car or plane and asked "why does the model on which
this is based work?"
Yet models are practical and necessary tools in our understanding
and shaping of the environment around us.
The whole world is made up of millions of ideas, millions of models
Now if we extend what we have just said to it end, we can
honestly say that the world is made up of millions of ideas in action
(models)!
It sounds like a strange concept at first, but it is true. The light
globe, our car, the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the music
we enjoy, the places we meet and the sheets on our bed. All were
once ideas on a page.
12
1.2 The concept of an idea (cont)
A clear definition on the purpose of models
All models share one common purpose: A model is a construct of
laws and principles that seek to influence matter and/or explain it
in some way.
Whether it be a philosophy, or model to build a toaster, both
influence and/or explain objects. One may influence how you
think, and then how you deal with people at work or at home. The
other seeks to cook bread to a certain crispness as required.
In addition, all models share the need to: Target purpose, Target
outcome.
That is to say a model must be seen in terms of its target purpose
and what is the desired outcome.
For instance if we consider a car, its target purpose is as a means
of transport. The target outcome is that when I turn the ignition
and there is sufficient fuel (providing the general mechanics of the
car are working) then the car will take us to where we wish to go.
Similarly, a philosophy on the meaning and purpose of life is a
model requiring a target purpose and a target outcome.
The target purpose may be to understand where you fit in and
what is required. The target outcome may be to find purpose and
reasoning of your existence and therefore potentially lead a
fulfilled and happy life.
Alternatively, you may have a model for mathematics in the form
of a calculator. The purpose is to add up your tax bill. The
outcome is to have a number that adds up all the component
parts after you have punched in all the numbers and pressed the
equals sign.
13
1.2 The concept of an idea (cont)
Measuring the usefulness of models
Taking the definition of a model, we see that its purpose is to
influence matter and/or explain in some way, once we have a
target purpose and a target outcome.
We can therefore see that models are simply tools. Even if we
forget to remind ourselves of that from time to time.
(1) Meeting desired target outcome
The 1st measurement therefore of the usefulness of a model is in
terms of meeting an individuals target outcome .
We say individual, because a model can only be measured from
starting with individuals and building up. A personal computer
may be extremely useful for people living in a 1st world city, but
totally useless to a bushman in Africa, with no access to electricity.
An explanation of how the planet revolves around the sun may be
extremely useful for scientists tracking objects and planning space
probes, but totally useless for a woman suffering the effects of a
family trauma.
(2) Utility of a model
Most models today have a certain range of utility. That is to say
that as our needs change, the model can provide a range of
target outcomes.
We have kitchen appliances that are able to dice, slice, grate,
heat, etc. We have watches that can tell seconds, days, months,
years. We have cars that can tow a load via bull bar as well as
auto control for long haul trips. Utility of a model is a measure of a
model's usefulness in different situations.
14
1.2 The concept of an idea (cont)
Why don't we replace certain models when they don't seem to
work?
Some models are easier to replace if broken than others. If a
person has a faulty toaster, it is a relatively easy process.
Certainly if you had a broken computer and it was still under
warranty, you could send it off to be repaired. If a light globe
breaks, you buy a new one.
Similarly, humanity as a whole has shown it is prepared to throw
out the old to adopt the new. In the late 1940's the city of Los
Angeles removed its entire tram system is a classic example of "out
with the old and in with the new".
So how come we don't do the same when we're not happy with a
model of philosophy- such as a model of God, or of relationships,
or of who we are?
The answer unfortunately is that overall, there hasn't been the
shiny new replacement philosophy sitting in the corner store
window.
Science for example, is yet to agree on a complete unified theory
of the forces and energy. Few religions give physical road map
directions to their version of heaven and while archaeologists
have found the lost city of Troy, medicine is yet to fully show us
what makes up our self consciousness.
No one has come up with a satisfactory model that links physics
with metaphysics and ethereal concepts. Instead, in many parts
of our life we are told to rely on "faith" and "hope". No wonder we
get so stressed.

1.3 The model of unique collective
awareness
As it was listed at the start of this book, The little book of Awareness
is a book of pure fiction– an idea about an idea that life is a
dream and that it is possible to define the rules of the dream.
The little book of Awareness is a model
We can now also say that The little book of Awareness is also a
book about a model– the concept of a thing called unique
collective awareness or (UCA) for short.
What is unique collective awareness (UCA) ?
UCA (unique collective awareness) is an idea that the base of all
things is awareness and that this awareness might be described by
the existence of the universe of all things (collection of unique
objects). In other words, everything has awareness and everything
is made of awareness in motion.
UCA is also a statement that represents a paradox– something
that intrinsically is illogical– ( a statement that makes no logical
sense). For something to be unique, it cannot then also be but
part of a collection. For is a set of infinite unique objects unique in
itself?
Unique Collective Awareness therefore represents a supremely
contradictory statement in itself– as it defies the current laws of
thinking to suppose something to be both unique and part of a
collective uniqueness at the same time.
The importance of paradox and the model
As this book shall seek to outline, this supreme paradox actually
represents a critical sign post in trying to define everything.
16
1.4 The structure of this book
The SOL CODE
Given this book is about a model called Unique Collective
Awareness (UCA) and that the universe is a dream operating
according to certain rules, this book is structured a certain way.
Starting with the biggest concepts first
To outline a model of everything it makes sense to start with
defining the biggest concepts first. The biggest concepts are
those ideas that represent the most absolute of terms. The
concept of idea itself is a big idea. The idea of existence, non-
existence (nothing), dimension and creation are also big ideas.
That is why the next section after this concerns the biggest real
idea of all– the concept of existence itself.
Viewing various levels of everything
Because The little book of Awareness is a book about the rules of
the dream of everything it makes sense that the model should
seek to demonstrate its ability to describe every level of matter,
every physical relationship and law that currently or could exist.
If it could not, then it could not claim to be a detailed or
complete model.
That is why after the big concepts are explained, various
categories of big concepts of matter such as galaxies, stars,
planets and elements are discussed.
The model is just about a dream
While the level of detail in the following sections of this book might
be a little daunting for some readers, it is hoped you keep in mind
that this model is only about the rules of a dream.
17
2. What is
existence?
18
2.1 What is existence?
What is existence? What do we really mean when we say
something exists? And what is the simplest definition of existence?
The rich definition of existence
Any reasonable sized dictionary contains a rich array of definitions
for the meaning of existence. Of the list, the key ones are:
Absolute Concept-the theoretical state or fact of being
independent of human consciousness in contrast with
nonexistence;
Universal concept-being with respect to a limiting condition or
under a particular aspect;
Absolute set-the totality of existent things ;
Reality of observation-reality as opposed to appearance ;
Reality of experience-reality as presented in experience ;
Unique life-a particular being ;
Life-sentient or living being : life;
Quality of life-the manner of being that is common to every mode
of being ;
Awareness-continued or repeated manifestation.
19
2.1 What is existence? (cont)
Existence as a concept
Existence begins as a concept– an idea about what constitutes
existence. That is why the word has been open for debate over
many years on such subjects as the definition of existence as life,
or existence as matter.
Existence is (a) concept
Existence as an absolute set (of objects)
Fundamentally, existence is about objects. When we talk about
the universe, we are talking about something. Similarly, when we
talk about matter (elements), we are talking about objects that
can be measured and/or validated in some way.
The universe is an object Elements are objects
Existence as something observed
Existence is also about the process of observing something, of
validating its experience. In this context existence is not just a
stationary concept but an active involvement of the observer and
the observed.
Existence is observation
20
2.1 What is existence? (cont)
The simplest model of existence
From all the definitions and all the various qualities attributed to
the concept, the simplest model of existence is (1) an observer
and (2) a thing observed .
Observer Observed object
The observer observes the object and so validates the existence
of the object. The observed object exists so validates the
existence of the observer.
The fragile bond of existence
As simplistic as the words above may appear, if either the
observer stops observing or the observed object ceases to be,
then the very simplest definition of existence also ceases.
If the observer has nothing to observe then it has nothing to
reference its own existence. Yet if the observer chooses not to
observe, then even if an observable object exists, it existence is
denied by non-observation.
In other words, the very simplest definition of existence depends
upon the existence of both concepts (observer and observed)
together in an active relationship.
The choice of the observer to observe is as vital an ingredient in
the simplest definition of existence as is having an object to
observe.
21
2.2 Reality
When we talk about the universe, we are talking about something
that is real. Objects that can be measured and/or validated in
some way are what we understand as real.
Science and the definition of reality
Science is principally concerned with defining what is real and
excluding what is not-real (unreal). Without the tireless efforts of
science, we would not have discovered the nature of matter, the
rules of matter and the way things are.
Sciences ability to define the whole extent of reality includes
theories on the creation of the universe and the existence/non
existence of non-measurable forces.
Things that cannot be proven (life after death, god, angels, spirits,
awareness) are considered unreal, while things that can be
proven to exist and considered real.
Exist in theory Exist in reality
22
2.3 Reality and dimension
When we are talking about something that is real we are talking
about something that exists in dimension.
What Is Dimension?
In our day to day lives, we largely take dimension for granted. That
is because it is always there. When we wake up, we can say that
we are at home, or a hotel or somewhere else. When we go to
work, or visit friends, we can quote an address. When we travel,
we can say where we started and where we are going.
Similarly, when science is investigating different parts of the galaxy
and Universe, dimension is always there. We can say that a star
exists relative to the stars around it because we receive the star's
radiation (light and/or radio waves) across billions of kilometers of
space to Earth.
Dimension, therefore is not just the space around something,
dimension can only be described when we establish the position
of something relative to the position of other things.
Dimension = position observed by the observer, relative to other
objects.
Space Cannot Exist Without At Least Two Objects
This definition of dimension may appear obvious to some readers
and different, even difficult to initially understand to other readers.
In science for example, there are thousands of books that now
describe the concept of spacetime, and/or space being able to
exist without objects.
Worse, parts of the science community have gone so far as to
add extra meanings to the word dimension, especially from their
complex approach to Mathematics.
23
2.3 Reality and dimension (cont)
Space cannot exist without two objects (cont)
Fundamentally, things do not exist in dimension unless they have
position relative to other things and are observed. From this point
on in the book and model, we will only talk about space being a
quality always attached to something, relative to other things.
For those of you reading this book that are concerned about how
this could make sense when we already know vast tracts of space
are largely "devoid" of any visible matter, as well as the observed
phenomena of the twisting and warping effects of space, these
features are explained later in the book.
It is one of the most important contribution of Quantum Physics-
that the observer to something is crucial to verifying the
"existence" of what is happening.
Let’s put this more simply. If you saw something happen, say a
flock of birds fly across a lake, then from your perspective the birds
did fly across the lake. However, if you were sitting in an office,
without any camera equipment to view the lake and the birds
flew over the lake, you would be unable to say whether the birds
did fly, or even if those particular birds existed.
A work colleague may have been at the lake for a holiday,
instead. He or she may say that they saw a lovely flock of birds fly
over the lake. If you accept what they have said, then you are
only accepting what they said on face value as being true. You
never saw the birds, so the work colleague's statement could be
both true and false.
24
2.3 Reality and dimension (cont)
What Does It Mean To Exist In Dimension?
We now see that dimension is all about relative position.
Dimension is not an independent thing. So what does it mean then
to have relative position?
In space, all objects have three dimensional relative position. That
means that say for a star, there will be stars above, below, front
and back and to the sides of its relative position.
Even on Earth, every object is three dimensional. We have the sky,
the planet's surface and what are to the left and right, front and
back of the relative object.
Therefore to exist in three dimensions, we must have seven
objects. The observed object and six objects that give us the
observed objects relative position.
