Quotes About Consciousness

Ahora que me ha puesto usted al corriente, haré lo posible por olvidarlo
~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
A man cannot spin a character out of his own inner consciousness and make it really lifelike unless he has some possibilities of that character within him.
~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to.
~ Sogyal Rinpoche
There is a famous saying: If the mind is not contrived, it is spontaneously blissful, just as water, when not agitated, is by nature transparent and clear.
~ Sogyal Rinpoche
All of us, in our daily speech to others, are not only trying to communicate information but to get something off our minds and into the consciousness of the listeners. When we write, we put down on paper what we think, know, or believe we know and pay little attention to the effect on the reader. That is discourteous in life and unsuccessful in writing. We practice our craft to service the reader, not our psyches.
~ Sol Stein
The best protection against negative energy is to surround yourself and others with unconditional love and acceptance. More often than not, underneath a person's negative vibes is an unconscious need for love and reassurance. The negativity they put out is just a very poor way to ask for it. Knowing this, you can be proactive and send people good vibes and lots of love in advance. Doing this changes the vibe before you run into negativity.
~ Sonia Choquette
Once you start to trust your vibes, you begin to realize that we are more than physical beings who are separate from one another and limited to physical space and time. Instead, you begin to understand that we are spiritual beings, and whether our ego knows it or not, we are psychically connected and communicate with one another on different energetic levels—sharing thoughts, feelings, ideas, beliefs, and information all the time. This is known as telepathy.
~ Sonia Choquette
Telepathy is the most accessible of our six-sensory skills: Everyone is mentally talking to everyone else all the time, and everyone is tuning in. You're in telepathic chat rooms every second, whether you know it or not. If you pay attention to what crosses your mind, you'll see what I mean.
~ Sonia Choquette
Do You Know How to Change the Channel? Try This … One of my favorite tools is "changing the channel." To do so, simply say: "My brain says [fill in the blank] on the subject." Then pause, and follow with: "My heart and inner guide say [fill in the blank] on the subject." This exercise will help you change the channel of your awareness from your mind chatter to the higher frequencies of spirit.
~ Sonia Choquette
My favorite technique for detaching is to imagine that the world around me is a wonderful movie to learn from and enjoy, but I'm not the star of it. Just as I'd never get so lost in a film that I'd jump out of my seat and run toward the screen, I restrain myself from feeling the urge to absorb the energies around me and call them my own. Using this technique, I can observe the events around me with creative detachment.
~ Sonia Choquette
In addition, careless and profane speech is debilitating over time to a sensitive, intuitive being because it creates a dissonant, negative vibration. Swearing excessively or using vulgar language, especially in place of actual words, disturbs the soul. Although it may seem harmless, using this kind of language erodes your light body and seriously lowers your vibration.
~ Sonia Choquette
The ego is subjective so does not convey accurate information. Drawing from its biased, limited, and more often than not incorrect conclusions, it can distort reality and can even lie about what is actually happening. Ultimately, the ego never feels good enough, smart enough, strong enough, sexy enough, or enough of anything to truly relax and let the world in.
~ Sonia Choquette
It was in the forest. No one saw it or heard it. So did it actually happen?
~ Sophie Kinsella
As I walk along the pavement I'm feeling a bit shamefaced. I should have got out my 120 quid and given it to that man for his baby, instead of buying a pointless scarf. I mean, when you think about it, what's more important? Clothes—or the miracle of new life? As I ponder this issue, I feel quite deep and philosophical. In fact, I'm so engrossed, I almost walk past my turning.
~ Sophie Kinsella
If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?
~ Soren Kierkegaard
Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
The specific character of despair is precisely this: it is unaware of being despair.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
It is (to describe it figuratively) as if an author were to make a slip of the pen, and as if this clerical error became conscious of being such. Perhaps this was no error but in a far higher sense was an essential part of the whole exposition. It is, then, as if this clerical error were to revolt against the author, out of hatred for him, were to forbid him to correct it, and were to say, No, I will not be erased, I will stand as a witness against thee, that thou art a very poor writer.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
Satan's despair is absolute because Satan, as pure spirit, is pure consciousness, and for Satan (and all men in his predicament) every increase in consciousness is an increase in despair.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
With every increase in the degree of consciousness, and in proportion to that increase, the intensity of despair increases: the more consciousness the more intense the despair.
~ Soren Kierkegaard
How much weight can carry a thought which does not acknowledge that it is an illusion?
~ Sorin Cerin
He who sees his soul is more than his life does not confuse the two.
~ Gary Zukav
Conscience is the mirror of our souls, which represents the errors of our lives in their full shape.
~ George Bancroft
Stay alert. The big moral crossroads in your life may not come labeled as such.
~ George Saunders
