“It is what makes conscious of the conditions and laws of observing which applied in this manner become a theme on its own. The activity of consciousness depending on the way the work itself proceeds, becomes the subject of my attention this way and it is precisely because of this voyeuristic attitude toward the own observation and experience of the subject that the conscious analytic dimension in the work shows.” WayShowsLawAttentionConsciousnessAttitudeConditionsSubjectsActivityConsciousObservationThemeDimensionsObservingAnalytics Author:Antoni Tapies
“The ego must be able to listen attentively and to give itself, without any further design or purpose, to that inner urge toward growth. People living in cultures more securely rooted than our own have less trouble in understanding that it is necessary to give up the utilitarian attitude of conscious planning in order to make way for the inner growth of the personality.” PeopleWayGivingAblePurposeOrderCultureUnderstandingGrowthAttitudeTroubleDesignPersonalityEgoGiving UpConsciousPlanningUrgesRootedUtilitarianInner Growth Author:Marie-Louise von Franz
“I wish we could understand the word expert as expressing an attitude of mind which we can all acquire rather than the collecting of information by a special caste. ...

“It is my conviction that in general women are more snobbish and class conscious than men and that these ignoble traits are a product of men's attitude toward women and women's passive acceptance of this attitude.” MenWomenAttitudeClassAcceptanceProductsConsciousMen And WomenConvictionTraitsPassiveIgnobleSnobbish Author:Mary Barnett Gilson
“The unconscious is not a demoniacal monster, but a natural entity which, as far as moral sense, aesthetic taste, and intellectual judgment go, is completely neutral.It only becomes dangerous when our conscious attitude to it is hopelessly wrong.

“One way of opening ourselves up to new opportunities is to make conscious efforts to look differently at our ordinary situations.

“I don't really feel I deserve something if I haven't had to fight for it. It's not a conscious attitude, and it's stupid and wrong.

“Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-T-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed.

“A grateful heart, then, comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives. This requires conscious effort-at least until we have truly learned and cultivated an attitude of gratitude. Often we feel grateful and intend to express our thanks but forget to do so or just don't get around to it. Someone has said that "feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it."” GivingFeelsHeartSaidFeelingsFatherForgetEffortAttitudeOur LivesGratitudeBlessingConsciousGratefulThanksHeavenlyHeavenly FatherExpressing GratitudeWrappingGrateful HeartAttitude Of Gratitude Author:Thomas S.
