“Mysterious spaces cause us to turn inward. Amid a rich upwelling of association, we encounter many aspects of ourselves. As we grow still, we come in contact with a unified, empty, yet full ground of our being. As our consciousness grows more spacious, we find connections between us and the wider world, a shared greater reality.” WorldStillsRealityTurnsGrowsCausesSpaceConsciousnessRichGreaterAspectEmptyConnectionsContactMysteriousEncountersAssociationInwardUnified Author:John Paul Caponigro
“It isn't so much that God is the unified state of consciousness that each of us came from and will return to, but more so that God is the creative energy flowing between all states of consciousness. God is in the land beyond the mountains, but God is also in the mountains and in the valley of illusions cradled within the mountains. God is not one thing or another, rather God flows between and through all things.” StatesEnergyConsciousnessCreativeOne ThingLandReturnMountainIllusionFlowAll ThingsValleysUnifiedStates Of ConsciousnessCreative EnergyAll State Book:The Seeker's Guide: Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure Source: The Seeker's Guide: Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure
“The 'coming of the Self' is immanent; and the process of collective 'individuation' is living itself out in human history. One way or another, the world is going to be made a single whole entity. But it will be unified either in mutual mass destruction or by means of mutual human consciousness. If a sufficient number of individuals can have the experience of the coming of the Self as an individual, inner experience, we may just possibly be spared the worst features of its external manifestation.” IfsWorldWayHumansMayMeanMadeSelfWholeIndividualProcessNumbersConsciousnessWorstMassDestructionIndependenceOne WayFeaturesManifestationSufficientCollectivesMutualEntityHuman HistoryMass DestructionUnifiedHuman ConsciousnessIndividuation Author:Edward F Edinger
“At first the, only subconsciously apprehended, approaching confluences of complex events make themselves known intuitively within the intellectual weather. Then comes a gradually awakening consciousness of the presence of new families of differentiating-out challenging concepts of every day prominence. It is with these randomly patterning families of separate concepts that evolution is about to deal integratively. As a now specific unitary problem it may be disposed of effectively when and if that unified problem becomes "adequately stated" and thereby comprehensibly solvable.” IfsFirstsMayProblemChallengesDealsConsciousnessKnownEventsEvolutionIntellectualConceptsComplexesAwakeningWeatherUnifiedProminenceConfluenceNew Family Author:R.

“While we tend to conceive of the operations of the mind as unified and transparent, they're actually chaotic and opaque. There's no invisible boss in the brain, no central meaner, no unitary self in command of our activities and utterances. There's no internal spectator of a Cartesian theater in our heads to applaud the march of consciousness across its stage.” MindSelfBrainConsciousnessStageActivityTheaterInvisibleCommandOperationsInternalsMarchBossSpectatorsTransparentChaoticUnifiedUtteranceOpaque Author:Daniel Dennett
