Quotes About Consciousness

El mundo es su caleidoscopio, y las diferentes combinaciones de colores que en cada momento que le presenta son las imágenes exquisitamente ajustadas de sus pensamientos siempre en movimiento.

The circumstances and conditions of life are outpictured inner talking, solidified sound. Inner speech calls events into existence. In every event is the creative sound that is its life and being. All that a man believes and consents to as true reveals itself in his inner speech. It is his word, his life.

As the appearance of our world is determined by the particular state with which we are fused, so may we determine our fate as individuals by fusing our imaginations with ideals we seek to realise. On the distinction between our states of consciousness depends the distinction between the circumstances and conditions of our lives. Man, who is free in his choice of state, often cries to be saved from the state of his choice.

You are already that which you want to be, and your refusal to believe this is the only reason you do not see it.

If man would bear in mind the fact that there can be no Easter or day of resurrection until after the full moon, he would realise that the state into which he has consciously passed will be expressed or resurrected only after he has remained within the state of being his defined objective. Until his whole self thrills with the feeling of actually being his conscious claim, in consciously living in this state of being it, and only in this way, will man ever resurrect or realise his desire.

mi asunción no necesita estar basada en la evidencia de mis sentidos, ni necesita estar basada en la razón. Mi asunción, en el momento exacto en que asumo, efectivamente construirá una serie maravillosa de eventos; y luego yo, de pie aquí, seré obligado a caminar a través de una serie de eventos, a través de un puente de incidentes, y moverme exactamente a donde me lleva mi asunción.

With Emerson, I accept the fact that: "Man surrounds himself with the true image of himself…what we are, that only can we see.

Yo Soy el Señor y fuera de mí no hay Dios". "Yo soy la resurrección y la vida". Te fijarás en la creencia de que eres lo que deseas ser. Antes de tener cualquier prueba visible de que lo eres, sabrás que lo eres, por la profunda convicción que has sentido fijada en tu interior; y así, sin esperar la confirmación de tus sentidos, exclamarás: "Todo está cumplido".

Subjectively, the object of your desire is never far off; its intense nearness makes it remote from observation of the senses. It dwells in consciousness, and consciousness is closer than breathing and nearer than hands and feet.

Man is the garden in which this only-begotten Son of God sleeps. He awakens this Son by lifting his imagination up to heaven and clothing men in godlike stature. We must go on imagining better than the best we know.

You begin to express and possess that which you are conscious of being. Praying, then, is recognising yourself to be that which you desire to be rather than begging God for that which you desire.

The third letter, VAU, is your ability to feel you are that which you desire to be. As you feel you are it, you become aware of being it. To walk as though you were what you want to be is to take your desire out of the imaginary world and put the VAU upon it. You have completed the drama of creation. I am aware of something. Then I become aware of actually being that of which I was aware.

So if you find yourself in a place where you are miserable and feel helpless, it is because you either knowingly or unknowingly fell into that state, and not because of the condemnation of some deity outside of you.

At this moment you are aware of being, but you are also aware of being someone. This someone is the veil that hides the being you really are. You are first conscious of being, then you are conscious of being man.

What you must strive after is being. In order to do, it is necessary to be. The end of yearning is to be. Your concept of yourself can only be driven out of consciousness by another concept of yourself. By creating an ideal in your mind, you can identify yourself with it until you become one and the same with the ideal, thereby transforming yourself with it.

La idea de que somos Dios no se refiere a que somos omnipotentes o que controlamos todo en el universo. Más bien, sugiere que somos parte integral de la divinidad. Es decir, llevamos en nosotros un pedazo del infinito, de lo sagrado. Cuando decimos "YO SOY", estamos afirmando nuestra conexión con ese infinito.

The seventh blast symbolises the seventh day, a time of stillness or rest, the interval between the subjective and objective states, a period of pregnancy or joyful expectancy. This stillness is not the stillness of the body but rather the stillness of the mind—a perfect passivity which is not indolence but a living stillness born of trust in this immutable law of consciousness.

Therefore, to give is to receive. You cannot give what you do not have and you have only what you believe. So to believe a state as true of another not only awakens that state within the other but it makes it alive within you. You are what you believe.

My awareness of being magnifies all that I am aware of being, so there is ever an abundance of that which I am conscious of being. It makes no difference what it is that man is conscious of being, he will find it eternally springing in his world. The Lord's measure (man's conception of himself) is always pressed down, shaken together and running over.

Sympathy for living things—agreement with human limitations—is not in the consciousness of the king because he has learned to separate their false concepts from their true being. To him poverty is but the sleep of wealth. He does not see caterpillars, but painted butterflies to be; not winter, but summer sleeping; not man in want, but Jesus sleeping.

There is no need to fight for that which I am conscious of being, for all that I am conscious of being shall be led to me as effortlessly as a shepherd leads his flock to the still waters of a quiet spring.

One of the greatest pitfalls in attempting to use the law of assumption is focusing your attention on things, on a new home, a better job, a bigger bank balance. This is not the righteousness without which you "die in your sins" [John 8:24]. Righteousness is not the thing itself; it is the consciousness, the feeling of already being the person you want to be, of already having the thing you desire.

Thoughts, no matter what they are, aren't the problem – our sometimes dysfunctional relationship with them is.

Imagination is the very gateway of reality.
