Quotes About Consciousness

As we lift up our consciousness, our world reshapes itself in harmony with the level to which we have risen.

You do not really give to another—you resurrect that which is asleep within him. "The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth." Death is merely a sleeping and a forgetting. Age and decay are the sleep—not death—of youth and health. Recognition of a state vibrates or awakens it.

Everything in the world bears witness of the use or misuse of man's inner talking.

El habla es una imagen de la mente y la mente es una imagen de Dios. - Hermética, traducción W. Scott.

The consciousness of being is not dependent upon being anything. It preceded all conceptions of itself and shall be when all conceptions of itself shall cease to be. "I AM the beginning and the end." That is, all things or conceptions of myself begin and end in me, but I, the formless awareness, remains forever.

when a man prays successfully he believes that he is already that which he desired to be, therefore he cannot continue desiring to be that which he is already conscious of being. At the moment of satisfaction, physical and psychological, something goes out which in time bears witness to man's creative power.

Mientras el hombre continúe caminando en esta creencia de tristeza, seguirá caminando en un mundo de dolor y confusión, porque el mundo es, en cada detalle, la conciencia del hombre cristalizada.

Millones de oraciones diariamente se quedan sin respuesta porque el hombre ora a un Dios que no existe. Sabiendo que la conciencia es Dios, entonces uno debe buscar en la conciencia lo deseado al asumir la conciencia de la cualidad deseada. Solo cuando uno hace esto, sus oraciones serán respondidas. Ser consciente de ser pobre mientras rezas por riquezas, es ser recompensado con aquello de lo que eres consciente, es decir, la pobreza.

You will from time to time know yourself to be many things, but you need not be anything to know that you are.

You will know that you are; you will also discover that this knowing that you are is God, the Father, which preceded all that you ever knew yourself to be. Before the world was you were aware of being and so you were saying "I AM," and I AM will be, after all that you know yourself to be shall cease to be.

El subconsciente no origina ideas, pero acepta como verdad lo que la mente consciente siente como verdadero, y de un modo conocido sólo por el mismo, manifiesta las ideas aceptadas.

By this law—first conceiving, then becoming that conceived—all things evolve out of No-thing; and without this sequence there is not anything made that is made.

These seeds are pressed out and planted when man loses himself in a wild, mad state of joy, consciously feeling and claiming himself to be that which he formerly desired to be.

I dwell within every conception of myself; from this withinness I ever seek to transcend all conceptions of myself. By the very law of my being I transcend my conceptions of myself, only as I believe myself to be that which does transcend.

The essential feeling of naturalness can be achieved by persistently filling your consciousness with imagination — imagining yourself being what you want to be or having what you desire.

The world which we describe from observation must be as we describe it relative to ourselves. Our imagination connects us with the state desired. But we must use imagination masterfully, not as an onlooker thinking of the end, but as a partaker thinking from the end. We must actually be there in imagination. If we do this, our subjective experience will be realised objectively.

Every state is already there as 'mere possibility' as long as you think of it, but is overpoweringly real when you think from it. Thinking from the end is the way of Christ.

As the will of heaven is ever done on earth, you are today in the heaven that you have established within yourself, for here on this very earth your heaven reveals itself. The Kingdom of Heaven really is at hand. Now is the accepted time. So create a new heaven, enter into a new state of consciousness and a new earth will appear.

Man, who is free in his choice, acts from conceptions which he freely, though not always wisely, chooses. All conceivable states are awaiting our choice and occupancy, but no amount of rationalising will itself yield us the state of consciousness which is the only thing worth seeking.

Within that blankness we call sleep there is a consciousness in unsleeping vigilance, and while the body sleeps this unsleeping being releases from the treasure house of eternity the subconscious assumptions of man.

Desires expressed, or pressed out, result in the passing of that particular desire. Man cannot possess a thing and still desire to possess it at one and the same time. So, as one consciously appropriates the feeling of being the thing desired, this desire to be the thing passes—is realised.

Fishermen know that if they wish to catch big fish, they must fish in deep waters; if you would catch a large measure of life, you must leave behind you the shallow waters with its many reefs and barriers and launch out into the deep blue waters where the big ones play. To catch the large manifestations of life you must enter into deeper and freer states of consciousness; only in these depths do the big expressions of life live.

However, the understanding of the causes of your experience, and the knowledge that you are the sole creator of the contents of your life, both good and bad, not only make you a much keener observer of all phenomena, but through the awareness of the power of your consciousness, intensify your appreciation of the richness and grandeur of life.

Your reactions reveal where you live psy- chologically; and where you live psychologically, determines how you live here in the outer visible world]. The importance of this in your daily life should be immediately apparent. The basic nature of the primal cause is consciousness. Therefore, the ulti- mate substance of all things is consciousness.
