“There can be no more intimate and elemental part of the individual than his or her own consciousness. At the deepest level, our consciousness is what we are - to the extent that if we are not sovereign over our own consciousness then we cannot in any meaningful sense be sovereign over anything else either.” IfsIndividualLevelsConsciousnessMeaningfulIntimateSovereignElementals Book:The Divine Spark: Psychedelics, Consciousness and the Birth of Civilization Source: The Divine Spark: Psychedelics, Consciousness and the Birth of Civilization

“The distinction between right and wrong ("la distinction du bien et du mal", Fr.), is nothing else than their unyielding (or implacable) opposition; thus the moral consciousness is an innate and intimate revelation of the absolute, which goes beyond (or goes pass, or exceed) every empirical data (or given information).

“To rail and rant against tyranny is to manifest inferiority, for there is no tyranny but ignorance; to be conscious of one's powers is to lose consciousness of tyranny. Self government is not a remote aim. It is an intimate and inescapable fact. To govern oneself is a natural imperative, and all tyranny is the miscarriage of self government. The first requisite of freedom is to accept responsibility for the lack of it.” FirstsSelfFactsGovernmentLosesNaturalConsciousnessResponsibilityAcceptingIgnoranceConsciousAimOneselfTyrannyIntimateManifestImperativesInferiorityRailSelf-governmentRantMiscarriage Author:E.C.
