Quotes About Consciousness

if you close your eyes and begin to feel your breath, it will instantly become deeper and slower, and your mind will become calmer. Then gradually you'll become aware of your body, or more precisely the subtle sense of energy inside and around your body.

For that to happen, the collective human consciousness must expand enough so that our highest identification is as Earth-Humans.
