“Genius is by definition a style of consciousness characterized by the ability to access high energy attractor patterns. It is not a personality characteristic. It is not something that a person has, nor even something that someone is. Those in whom we recognize genius commonly disclaim it. A universal characteristic of genius is humility. The genius has always attributed his insights to some higher influence.” PersonsEnergyAbilityConsciousnessInfluenceStyleHumilityPersonalityGeniusHigherUniversalPatternsDefinitionsInsightAccessCharacteristicsHigh Energy Author:David R.

“We do not realize how deeply our starting assumptions affect the way we go about looking for and interpreting the data we collect. We should recognize that nonhuman organisms need not meet every new definition of human language, tool use, mind, or consciousness in order to have versions of their own that are worthy of serious study. We have set ourselves too much apart, grasping for definitions that will distinguish man from all other life on the planet. We must rejoin the great stream of life from whence we arose and strive to see within it the seeds of all we are and all we may become.” MenWayNeedsShouldMindHumansMayUseOrderLanguageRealizingConsciousnessStudyToo MuchPlanetsSeriousToolsStriveStartingDefinitionsWorthySeedsVersionsDataStreamsAssumptionOrganismsGraspingInterpretingHuman Language Book:Kanzi: The Ape at the Brink of the Human Mind Source: Kanzi: The Ape at the Brink of the Human Mind
“As collective consciousness goes higher and higher, all the differences in the world will be appreciated more and more. A definition of peace is unity in the midst of diversity. Or you could say happiness, love, and peace in the midst of all diversity. All the differences would be appreciated fully in the light of this peace.” WorldLightWould BeDifferencesConsciousnessHigherDiversityUnityDefinitionsCollectivesMidstAppreciatedPeace And LoveCollective ConsciousnessHappiness Love Author:David Lynch
“Consciousness is anything you define it as. I tell people instead of waiting, just take any definition that you like, and use that, and run with it! So I don't think the issue is that we don't know what consciousness is. The issue is we don't have a consensus on what consciousness is. Far from it.” PeopleThinkingKnowsUseRunningWaitingConsciousnessIssuesDefinitionsConsensus Author:Stanley Krippner
“We can no longer have forbidden areas of the human mind, or cultural machinery. We have taken upon ourselves the acquisition of so much power that we now must understand what we are. We cannot travel much further with the definitions of man that we inherit from the Judeo-Christian tradition. We need to truly explore the problem of consciousness.” MenNeedsMindHumansProblemChristianConsciousnessTakenAreasTraditionDefinitionsHuman MindForbiddenMachineryAcquisition Author:Terence McKenna
“The truth is that we are a part of God. God could not have created anything except out of his own consciousness. We're all his dream, and our duty in life that God has assigned to us, that the universe has placed squarely in our laps, is to find out who we really are. "Gnothi seauton," as the Greeks used to say. "Know thyself." But to know thyself, if you trace it back, to the deeper and deeper levels, you discover that that self is not your body or your ego or your personality or your country or anything, that's just a sack of self-definitions that you carry around with you” IfsKnowsSelfCountryDreamBodyUsedUniverseLevelsConsciousnessDutyPersonalityTruth IsEgoDefinitionsDeeperYour BodyGreekLapThyselfKnow Thyself Author:Goswami Kriyananda
“What really matters is not how well a character fits a definition, but how strongly he or she resonates. Characters with strong, resonant ideas at their core will have more of an impact on the cultural consciousness than a character who's just an empty collection of attributes.” WellsIdeasMatterCharacterStrongConsciousnessFitEmptyImpactDefinitionsCoreCollectionsAttributes Author:Kurt Busiek
