“Soul one might say is more imperfectly infinite than spirit, because soul tends to abolish the ego-consciousness that it absorbs or overwhelms, reducing its particularizing structure to pure sublime feeling (immediacy); but spirit is more successfully infinite than soul, even though also more difficult and abstruse, because it digests the functions of consciousness into itself and thus preserves and deploys the senses and intelligence of conscious ego to higher ends.” SoulEndsFeelingsMightSpiritDifficultConsciousnessHigherPureEgoConsciousFunctionInfiniteStructureSensesPreservesSublimeReducingAbolishImmediacy Author:Kenny Smith
“The soul is that part of us that is immortal. It existed before the personality was born and it will exist after the personality is gone. The personality is an energy tool of the soul that is temporary. Through it we learn in this domain of the five senses. We learn through what we create and the impact that it has on us. This process is becoming conscious.” SoulEnergyProcessBornGoneFivePersonalityBecomingConsciousToolsImpactSensesImmortalTemporaryDomainFive Senses Author:Gary Zukav
“Several things can throw me into that space where I feel energetic and peaceful at the same moment - often things that force me to utilize all my senses. Sunshine does it for me. Music for sure, singing, and dancing. Conscious breathing. Nature. Silence. Meditation. Sport is a great one.” FeelsDoeMomentsForceSportsSpaceSilenceMeditationSingingConsciousDancingSensesPeacefulBreathingSunshineEnergeticGreat OnesSinging And Dancing Author:Richard Brancatisano
“Her last conscious thought was disgust at life; her senses had lied to her. The world was not made of energy and delight but of foulness, betrayal, and lassitude. Living was hateful, and death was no better, and from end to end of the universe this was the first and last and only truth.” WorldFirstsMadeEndsLastsUniverseEnergyConsciousDelightBetrayalSensesDisgustingLiedHatefulFirsts And Lasts Book:The Subtle Knife: His Dark Materials 2 Source: The Subtle Knife: His Dark Materials 2
“Five senses; an incurably abstract intellect; a haphazardly selective memory; a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than a minority of them - never become even conscious of them all.” I CanMemoriesFiveConsciousIntellectSensesAbstractAssumptionMinoritiesSelectivePreconceptionsFive SensesGrief Observed Book:A Grief Observed Source: A Grief Observed
“Teach him to live rather than to avoid death: life is not breath, but action, the use of our senses, our mind, our faculties, every part of ourselves which makes us conscious of our being. Life consists less in length of days than in the keen sense of living. A man maybe buried at a hundred and may never have lived at all. He would have fared better had he died young.” MenMindMayUseActionYoungLife IsTeachConsciousHundredDiedBreathsSensesLengthFacultyBuriedLife Death Author:Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“There is a drowsy state, between sleeping and waking, when you dream more in five minutes with your eyes half open, and yourself half conscious of everything that is passing around you, than you would in five nights with your eyes fast closed, and your senses wrapt in perfect unconsciousness. At such time, a mortal knows just enough of what his mind is doing, to form some glimmering conception of its mighty powers, its bounding from earth and spurning time and space, when freed from the restraint of its corporeal associate.” KnowsMindStatesEnoughDreamEyeEarthFormNightSleepSpacePerfectHalfFiveMinutesConsciousSensesPassingPassingsMortalsConceptionWakingRestraintAssociatesTime And SpaceFive MinutesUnconsciousnessDrowsy Author:Charles Dickens
