“Sometimes when you are with an enlightened teacher, you will feel both pleasant and unpleasant things magnified.

“The gravitation constant is the same always. But the economic constants-these elasticities of demand and supply-depending, as they do, upon human consciousness, are liable to vary.

“I must admit that many humans have a strong need to perceive life as in some sense benign and potentially happy. It is also evident that this need cannot be met if we do not experience a salvific change in consciousness, which allows us to perceive a greater, happier reality beyond the world of matter and sense.” IfsWorldNeedsHumansMatterRealityStrongConsciousnessGreaterMetsPerceiveEvidentBenign Author:Stephan A.

“The reason why the simpler sort are moved with authority, is the consciousness of their own ignorance; whereby it cometh to pass that having learned men in admiration, they rather fear to dislike them than know wherefore they should allow and follow their judgments. Contrariwise with them that are skilful authority is much more strong and forcible; because they only are able to discern how just cause there is why to some men's authority so much should be attributed.” KnowsMenShouldReasonAbleStrongCausesConsciousnessIgnoranceAuthorityJudgmentMovedReason WhyAdmirationDislike Author:Richard Hooker
“I think there's a real problem if you're making a film - some people have done whether it be about Jackson Pollock or about Picasso - it's difficult for actors, because they have to impersonate a person whose image is very strong in our memories or in our consciousness.

“Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. And the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition."

“What really matters is not how well a character fits a definition, but how strongly he or she resonates.

“Sometimes we make assumptions about influence when similarities between two writers' work are so strong, but they're still just assumptions. Some things are sort of zeitgeist-y.

“In the realm of strong A.I. or in the realm of human consciousness, I think that it's been something that troubles humans or forces us to look at it over and over for millennia, or as long as we've really been conscious, because there is no answer. There is no explanation for us, even for a one percent grip to hold on to. So we just don't know why we're here, we don't know how consciousness is created.” ThinkingKnowsHumansLooksLongStrongForceAnswersConsciousnessKnow HowTroublePercentConsciousExplanationRealmsHuman Consciousness Author:Neill Blomkamp
“Well, what if we did this in the mind as opposed to the brain? So instead of blood vessels and dendrites, what if it was consciousness and dream production?

“I think a lot of people who were addicts are actually people who had that strong innate need to experience non-ordinary states of consciousness.
