“Shaw does not merely decorate a proposition, but makes his way from point to point through new and difficult territory. This explains why Shaw must either be taken whole or left alone. He must be disassembled and put together again with nothing left out, under pain of incomprehension; for his politics, his art, and his religion - to say nothing of the shape of his sentences - are unique expressions of this enormously enlarged and yet concentrated consciousness.” WayDoeArtWholePainTogetherLeftDifficultConsciousnessTakenExpressionShapesUniqueSentencesTerritoryPropositionsLeft AloneLeft OutTogether AgainIncomprehension Author:Jacques Barzun
“Good will, that curious product of consciousness, of leisure and energy to spare and share. That thing we put out against the forces of interest. That extra thing.

“If psychedelics are, on any level, to be taken seriously as catalyzers or expanders of consciousness, then we need them, because it's an absence of consciousness that is making this historical transition so excruciating.” IfsNeedsLevelsConsciousnessTakenHistoricalAbsenceTransition Author:Terence McKenna
“If young gentlemen get from their years in college only manliness, esprit de corps, a release of their social gifts, a training ingive and take, a catholic taste in men and the standards of true sportsmen, they have gained much but they have not gained what a college should give them.

“The media and even, to some degree, leaders of women's organizations don't understand that the women's movement is an absolute part of society now.

“Although an increasing number of humans are undergoing a process of awakening, identification with thinking is still the prevalent state of consciousness.

“We are internally related to everything, not [just] externally related. Consciousness is an internal relationship to the whole, we take in the whole, and we act toward the whole. Whatever we have taken in determines basically what we are. Wholeness is a kind of attitude or approach to the whole of life. If we can have a coherent approach to reality then reality will respond coherently to us.” IfsKindWholeRealityConsciousnessAttitudeTakenApproachDetermineRelatedInternalsWholeness Author:David Bohm

“Every once in a while, someone comes up to me and says, "Excuse me, are you Tim Daly?" And I say yes and they say "I have to tell you, I am such a huge fan of yours, and my favorite work of yours is the voice of Superman." I'm always sort of surprised when that happens - I used to think that it was all about the kids watching those animated shows, and who did the voices didn't really enter their consciousness.

And I'm thrilled when that happens.” PeopleThinkingMeanKidsConsciousnessTakenMy FavoriteExcuseAnimatedExcuse Me Author:Tim Daly
