The number one reason i am in a state of wonderment is that we as humans have awareness.

Exactly! You have found the pearl. All the other questions move from this jump point of individual awareness. This is where the mind begins it's activities. Actually, "we humans have awareness" is still conceptual. You can refine it even more by noticing "I am aware", and concentrating on that "I" who is aware. All the rest of the questions are mind stuff. This is why "Veda" means "the end of knowledge". Knowledge is an accumulation of memory, a gathering from outside - concepts, beliefs, opinions, questions and answers. Your being is always present, but is obscured by the machinations of the mind. The being is like the paper on which you write all of these questions down.
