Famous Rob Armstrong Quotes

“It’s not just the Spirit World that Ouija can reach. It can explore a realm every bit as strange, that of the unconscious mind, the mind of which we know nothing, precisely because it’s unconscious. Yet it’s an aspect of our own mind. Isn’t it bizarre that our own “hidden” mind is the biggest, and closest, mystery in our life!”

“Children are so remarkable because they are the humans in whom the unconscious and conscious minds are so closely intertwined. For several years, the unconscious mind is dominant in children and then gradually consciousness rises up in power and finally takes over. The child’s mind is an incredible laboratory for the study of the science of consciousness. Uniquely, with children, the rise of consciousness can be tracked, and the gradual subordination of the unconscious to consciousness followed. With this priceless knowledge, we can work out how to achieve the holy grail: to be able to use consciousness and be adults, while also retaining or recovering the paranormal powers of the unconscious. To be conscious humans able to routinely exercise paranormal powers would put us on the path to divinity.”

“Language is the basis of culture and consciousness, so, once humans had language, they became capable of using culture to override biology (using memes to drive humanity rather than genes; using idea mutations rather than gene mutations) and thus freed humanity from animalism and instinct. The new dawn of consciousness, culture and knowledge had arrived.”

“Consciousness isn’t part of a child’s innate makeup. It has to be added. A child has to acquire consciousness, through education, something which others do to the child. Human culture operates on human infants to furnish them with a new operating system: consciousness. No other animal has a culture. No other animal can change their instinctual operating system. Children are the perfect laboratory for consciousness studies since they start off unconscious, slowly develop consciousness – for several years existing in an extraordinary liminal zone poised between the unconscious and conscious worlds – and, finally, become fully conscious. Via children, we can literally track how consciousness changes humans as we monitor the changing properties and abilities of children as their degree of consciousness increases.”

“Our psyche is astonishingly fissile. The proof is our dreams where one psyche produces a whole cast of characters interacting with each other and trying to dominate each other. All dreams are examples of multiple personality disorder, with the dream characters serving as “alters” of the unconscious mind. When a person, during waking hours, cannot control their unconscious, their dream minds take over as a cast of alters and they are then diagnosed with dissociate identity disorder.”
