“Sunday was the normal day for the political awareness session at sea. Ordinarily Putin would have officiated, reading some Pravada editorials, followed by selected quotations from the works of Lenin and a discussion of the lessons to be learned from the readings. It is very much like a church service.” PoliticalReadingChurchSeaAwarenessLessonsNormalDiscussionSundayQuotationsSessionPutinSelectedEditorialsLessons To Be LearnedChurch ServicePolitical Awareness Book:The Hunt for Red October Source: The Hunt for Red October
“Enlightenment is the culmination of self-knowledge, pure unadulterated knowledge. Not knowledge you can get from reading a book, it comes from perfecting your awareness, your mind.” MindBookSelfReadingAwarenessPureEnlightenmentSelf KnowledgeCulmination Author:Frederick Lenz
“I use music as something from which I obtain some form of - I hate to use the word spiritual - guidance, an awareness of something more than the day-to-day or the petty. I am not reading Emanuel Kant to try to embark on a task of seeing if I can understand myself, what the aesthetic experience is. But I wholeheartedly believe in it, even though I think not too many do nowadays.” IfsThinkingTryingBelieveI CanUseSpiritualFormHateReadingSeeingAwarenessTasksI HateGuidanceAestheticDay To DayPettyWholeheartedlySpiritual Guidance Author:Richard Meale
“It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.” MenMightReadingLanguageAwarenessRelationMathematicsPhysicsMapsUnreasonableMultitaskingSpatialMulti Tasking Author:Stephen Hawking
“Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false values--whether presented on television or in "real life." The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some "high" to feel worthwhile.” NeedsFeelsWritingChildrenRealLife IsValuesReadingSecretAwarenessTelevisionOur ChildrenCookingConvincedDrawingReal LifeRecognitionFulfillmentThings To DoSwimmingWorthwhileBetter Things To Do Book:Whole child, whole parent Source: Whole child, whole parent

“I want to say that what is cool about writing self-aware first person narrative is that the awareness is not necessarily the same awareness of the reader. I have a story coming out in the Paris Review and it's about a hipster. He think's he's self-aware, he's very introspective and analytical, but when you're reading it you can totally see through his self-analysis because you have a higher awareness than he does. I like playing with that too.” WritingReadingAwarenessIntrospectiveHipster Author:Ottessa Moshfegh
