Those who know this truth, whose consciousness is unified, think always, "I am not the doer" While seeing or hearing, touching or smelling; eating, moving about, or sleeping; breathing or speaking, letting go or holding on, even opening or closing the eyes, they understand that these are only the movements of the senses among sense objects.
Bhagavad Gita – Consciousness
All this, then, shows us the individual consciousness placed at a sensitive nodal point, and it is this consciousness at that critical point which this book attempts to explore in the form of what I call criticism. On the one hand, the individual mind registers and is very much aware of the collective whole, context, or situation in which it finds itself. On the other hand, precisely because of this awareness — a worldly self-situating, a sensitive response to the dominant culture — that the individual consciousness is not naturally and easily a mere child of the culture, but a historical and social actor in it.
Edward said – the individual consciousness
Nothing has any power over me other than that which I give it through my conscious thoughts.
Anthony Robbins – Conscious Thoughts
A clear conscience is, for me, an occupied conscience – never empty – the conscience of a man at work until his last breath.
Gaston Bachelard – Conscience
Thinking and consciousness are not synonymous. Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought.
Eckhart Tolle – Thinking, Consciousness
Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.
Eckhart Tolle – Life, Consciousness
The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
