Quotes About Consciousness

What the BLEEP Do We Know!?

the frontal lobe is responsible for the conscious, willful, purposeful, intentional choices and actions that we undertake countless times each day. It is the home of the "true self.

Even the emotional centers are cooled off in the limbic brain. As a result, what we are thinking about or focusing on will become more real to us than the external world. As those neural networks are shut off by the frontal lobe, we no longer process any level of mind or awareness in that part of the brain and we, therefore, are no longer conscious of the body, the environment, and even time.

What the Bleep Do We Know!? invited people to question the nature of reality and then try it out in their lives to see if their observation mattered or, perhaps more accurately put, if their observation became matter.

Los electrones solo aparecen en un lugar cuando el observador fija la atención en él. Si aparta la vista, la materia subatómica desaparece transformándose en energía.

Es decir, si puedes imaginar un acontecimiento futuro en tu vida basándote en cualquiera de tus deseos, esta realidad ya existe como posibilidad en el campo cuántico, esperando a que la observes. Si tu mente puede influir en la aparición de un electrón, en teoría también puede influir en la aparición de cualquier posibilidad.

We don't perceive things in our reality the way they are; we perceive reality the way we are.

So the physical universe may look as if it's made up of only material matter, but in truth, it shares a field of information (the quantum field) that unifies matter and energy so intimately that it's impossible to consider them as separate entities. That's because all particles are connected in an immaterial invisible field of information beyond space and time—and that field is made of consciousness (thought) and energy (frequency, the speed at which things vibrate).

feelings then cause you to generate

Always Matter, Never Mind? Always Mind, Never Matter?

As our emotions become more elevated, we will naturally ascend to a higher level of consciousness, closer to Source … and feel more connected to universal intelligence.

The observer effect in quantum physics states that where you direct your attention is where you place your energy.

In order of slowest to fastest, the brain-wave states are delta (deep, restorative sleep—totally unconscious), theta (a twilight state between deep sleep and wakefulness), alpha (the creative, imaginative state), beta (conscious thought), and gamma (elevated states of consciousness).

If an atom is 99.99999 percent energy and .00001 percent physical substance,1 then I'm actually more nothing than something! So why do I keep my attention on that small percentage of the physical world when I am so much more? Is defining my present reality by what I perceive with my senses the biggest limitation I have?

Then you consciously marry your thoughts and intentions with a heightened state of emotion, such as joy or gratitude. (More on heightened states of emotion is coming up.) Once you can embrace that new emotion and you get more excited, you're bathing your body in the neurochemistry that would be present if that future event were actually happening. It could be suggested that you're giving your body a taste of the future experience.

You, like all of us, broadcast a distinct energy pattern or signature. In fact, everything material is always emitting specific patterns of energy. And this energy carries information. Your fluctuating states of mind consciously or unconsciously change that signature on a moment-to-moment basis because you are more than just a physical body; you are a consciousness using a body and a brain to express different levels of mind.

Your brain and body don't know the difference between having an actual experience in your life and just thinking about the experience—neurochemically, it's the same. So your brain and body begin to believe they're actually living in the new experience in the present moment.

Most days, we move back and forth between beta and alpha states. Alpha is our relaxation state, where we pay less attention to the outer world and start to pay more attention to our inner world. When we're in alpha, we're in a light state of meditation; you could also call that imagination or daydreaming. In this state, our inner world is more real than our outer world, because that's what we're paying attention to.

More challenging is learning how to drop down even further into theta, which is a kind of twilight state where we're half-awake and half-asleep (often described as "mind awake, body asleep"). This is the state we're shooting for in meditation, because it's the brain-wave pattern where we're the most suggestible.

Think of theta as the key to your own subconscious kingdom.

Essentially, Descartes started a belief system that imposed a duality between the concepts of mind and matter. For centuries, that division stood as the accepted understanding of the nature of reality.

tu alma te dice: ¡Escúchame atentamente! Nada del exterior te hará feliz. Te estoy intentando avisar. Pero si sigues participando en este juego, voy a dejar de hacerlo y volverás a dormirte. En este caso te veré cuando tu vida se acabe…

La ley cuántica dice que todas las posibilidades existen simultáneamente. Nuestros pensamientos y sentimientos afectan todos los aspectos de nuestra vida, más allá del espacio y el tiempo.
