“...The Western 'God-image' is a representation of the collective unconscious, an archetype of the psyche that undergoes a continual process of transformation...The God image evolves through its relationship to humanity. Whoever knows God has an effect on 'him'. For the individual, knowing God, is the process of recognizing and assimilating the pressured and paradoxical contents of the self, which come to consciousness- seek incarnation- within the ego.” KnowsSelfHumanityIndividualProcessConsciousnessKnowingEffectsEgoTransformationWesternInsightEvolveUnconsciousCollectivesRepresentationRecognizingKnowing GodIncarnationParadoxicalGod ImageArchetypePressuredCollective Unconscious Author:Carl Jung
“All of us are already civilian soldiers, without knowing it...The great stroke of luck for the military class's terrorism is that no one recognizes it.

“According to the true Indian view, our consciousness of the world, merely as the sum total of things that exist, and as governed by laws, is imperfect. But it is perfect when our consciousness realizes all things as spiritually one with it, and therefore capable of giving us joy. For us the highest purpose of this world is not merely living in it, knowing it and making use of it, but realizing our own selves in it through expansion of sympathy; not alienating ourselves from it and dominating it, but comprehending and uniting it with ourselves in perfect union.” WorldGivingSelfUseLawJoyPurposeRealizingPerfectViewsConsciousnessKnowingThis WorldHighestCapableAll ThingsUnionsIndianImperfectExpansionDominatingUnitingComprehending Author:Rabindranath Tagore
“The act of consciousness is central; otherwise we are overrun by the complexes. The hero in each of us is required to answer the call of individuation. We must turn away from the cacaphony of the outerworld to hear the inner voice. When we can dare to live its promptings, then we achieve personhood. We may become strangers to those who thought they knew us, but at least we are no longer strangers to ourselves.” KnowsMayTurnsVoiceAnswersConsciousnessKnowingAchieveHeroComplexesDareStrangerHearingFinding YourselfInner VoiceBe True To YourselfLivelihoodListen To YourselfIndividuationPersonhood Book:The Middle Passage: From Misery to Meaning in Midlife Source: The Middle Passage: From Misery to Meaning in Midlife

“The most basic act of awareness or knowing that we can demonstrate in science. I postulate that that is the very basis of why we're conscious at all, that it is this relationship at the quantum level as matter evolves into more complex form, including plants and animals and living substance and ourselves, that this area of consciousness as an awareness becomes more and more complex.” MatterFormAnimalLevelsConsciousnessKnowingAwarenessConsciousAreasBasesPlantComplexesIncludingEvolveSubstanceQuantumPlants And Animals Author:Edgar Mitchell
“To me, activism requires you to try very hard to open your eyes to the world as it is. See as much as you can, knowing that whatever you see is going to be partial.
