“If a baby really has no awareness of himself and is totally thing-directed and at the same time all his states of mind are projected onto things, our second paradox makes sense: on the one hand, thought in babies can be viewed as pure accommodation or exploratory movements, but on the other this very same thought is only one, long, completely autistic waking dream.” IfsMindLongStatesDreamHandsAwarenessMovementBabyPureMake SenseParadoxState Of MindWakingAutisticAccommodations Author:Jean Piaget

“A spirituality that is only private and self-absorbed, one devoid of an authentic political and social consciousness, does little to halt the suicidal juggernaut of history.

“Central to Jungian psychology is the concept of "individuation," the process whereby a person discovers and evolves his Self, as opposed to his ego. The ego is a persona, a mask created and demanded by everyday social interaction, and, as such, it constitutes the center of our conscious life, our understanding of ourselves through the eyes of others. The Self, on the other hand, is our true center, our awareness of ourselves without outside interference, and it is developed by bringing the conscious and unconscious parts of our minds into harmony.” MindPersonsSelfHandsEyeSocialProcessUnderstandingPsychologyAwarenessEgoConsciousConceptsHarmonyEverydayEvolveUnconsciousMaskInteractionPersonaInterferenceThrough The EyesSocial InteractionIndividuationConscious And Unconscious Author:Morris Berman
“Mindfulness is a state wherein one is totally aware in any situation and so always able to respond appropriately. Yet one is aware of being aware. Mindlessness, on the other hand, or "no-mindness" as it has been called, is a condition of such complete absorption that there is not vestige of self-awareness.” Has BeensSelfStatesHandsAbleSituationConditionsAwarenessMindfulnessSelf AwarenessAbsorption Author:Philip Kapleau

“The thing about living alone is that it gives you a lot of time to think.

“Out of your awareness you cannot become soldiers in a war because you will be able to see, with clear eyes, that you are going to kill people - people who have done no harm to you personally, people just like you. They have their children, their wives, their mothers, their old fathers to take care of - and you are killing the person just to get a gold medal. Your gun will slip out of your hand, and that will be an act of awareness. And you will feel tremendously blissful that it happened; even if you are being shot your death will be a glory, a peace, an adventure, a journey into a new world.” PeopleIfsWorldFeelsChildrenPersonsWarDoneHandsEyeCareAbleMotherFatherClearWifeViolenceHappenedJourneyAwarenessAdventureLike YouGloryGunShotsGoldKillingSoldierTake CareHarmNew WorldSlipsMedalGold MedalsClear Eyes Author:Rajneesh
