“The word "art" means harmony for me. I never speak of mathematics and never bother with the Spirit. My only science is the choice of impressions that the light in the universe furnishes to my consciousness as an artisan which I try, by imposing an Order, and Art, an appropriate representative life, to organize.” TryingMeanArtLightSpiritOrderChoicesUniverseSpeakConsciousnessHarmonyMathematicsImpressionBotherAppropriateRepresentativesOrganizeImposingArtisans Author:Robert Delaunay
“Slowly but inexorably crawling upon my consciousness and rising above every other impression, came a dizzying fear of the unknown; a fear all the greater because I could not analyse it, and seeming to concern a stealthily approaching menace; not death, but some nameless, unheard-of thing inexpressibly more ghastly and abhorrent.” ConsciousnessGreaterConcernImpressionRisingRise AboveSeemingMenaceCrawlingNamelessUnheardGhastlyFear Of The UnknownAbhorrent Book:Delphi Complete Works of H.

“In an old model, the way a film would imprint itself on the public's consciousness is to get a theatrical run. But now there are more documentaries and more films in general being released than ever before. There are weeks when the New York Times is reviewing 15 films, so it's harder to leave an impression on the public. A lot of these films are seeing their financial future on digital platforms. Because viewers aren't hearing as much about films in theatrical release, I think the festival circuit is going to have increasing importance for the life of a film.” ThinkingWayRunningFilmConsciousnessSeeingWeekNew YorkModelsImportanceHarderFinancialHearingImpressionReleaseDigitalPlatformsViewersDocumentariesFestivalsNew York TimesTheatricalCircuits Author:Thom Powers
“I feel that the change, the mutation in consciousness, will occur spontaneously once certain pressures now in operation are removed. I feel that the principal instrument of monopoly and control that prevents expansion of consciousness is the word lines controlling thought, feeling and apparent sensory impressions of the human host.” FeelsHumansFeelingsCertainLinesConsciousnessPressureInstrumentsImpressionOperationsHostPrincipalExpansionMonopolySensoryMutation Author:William S.

“As a book person and a movie person, I feel Jewish. My Dad was more Buddhist than anything, and on the West Coast I've often had the impression that Jews become Buddhists. I think, if anything, my religion has more to do with California consciousness, vibrations and energy. My wife isn't Jewish. There's nothing ceremonial going on at our house, I mean, occasionally a candle gets lit. But, definitely, my Judaism is an ongoing relationship, one that remains to be consummated.” ThinkingMeanBookHouseEnergyConsciousnessWifeDadMy DadJewMy WifeImpressionBuddhistCandleJudaismLit Author:Jonathan Raymond
“Consciousness turns out to consist of a maelstrom of events distributed across the brain. These events compete for attention, and as one process outshouts the others, the brain rationalizes the outcome after the fact and concocts the impression that a single self was in charge all along.” SelfFactsTurnsProcessAttentionBrainConsciousnessEventsImpressionOutcomesRationalizeMaelstrom Author:Steven Pinker
