Difference between thinking as an occurrence and emergent awareness about something?
Thinking is the one after another analysis of something, patterning or cause and effect, or problem solving. It uses language and is a non verbal state we associate with happening inside. Thinking can evoke different reactions in the form of feelings based on the nature of the thought etc.
Emergent awareness of something, a knowing is also a non verbal state that happens inside and it uses language and comes as a thought, but does not have a chain like pattern of deliberation. It comes like a standalone statement of fact with neutrality. It comes even when we are not pondering a situation. It emerges as if out of no where.
