All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force… We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
Every aspect of our lives plays out in two versions: one conscious, which we are constantly aware of, and the other unconscious, which remains hidden from us.

Here’s what the right-wing has in, there’s no shortage of the natural resources of ignorance, apathy, hate, fear. As long as those things are in the collective conscious and unconscious, the Republicans will have some votes.
It is the mystery of the creative act that something other than our conscious self takes over.
I think I’m always conscious of not letting things fit into a specific box. Being a filmmaker and trying to chart a career, you never want anyone to be able to pigeonhole you into one specific thing.

When the conscious mind expands to embrace deeper levels of thinking, the thought wave becomes more powerful and results in added energy and intelligence.
We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception.
Conscious listening is very largely overlooked in the mainstream of education. It’s such an important skill in life. And yet we expect children to pick it up from home or from peers informally.
I love being an actor so much because, as a person, I would be conscious about pimples and weight because I love vanity, and I own up to it. I have been like that since I was a child, but where my characters are concerned, they are such confident women that I love celebrating my flaws on screen.
It wasn’t conscious, but I’m glad I’ve had a slow and steady career path. I wanted to develop my style, and I wanted to be the one making the decisions. Sometimes, when you become a success quickly, those decisions are out of your control.

Pavarotti is not vain, but conscious of being unique.

I have to say a part of me was a little terrified to be only looked at as Shane from ‘The L Word.’ I was very conscious of doing something that would steer me clear or just steer me in a different direction.
I made a conscious decision not to tell anyone in my life. Now I tell people – don’t tell anyone your idea until you have invested enough of yourself in it that you are not going to turn back. When a person has an idea at that conception moment it is the most vulnerable – one negative comment could knock you off course.
My sense of a poem – my notion of how you revise – is: you get yourself into a state where what you are intensely conscious of is not why you wrote it or how you wrote it, but what you wrote.
It is a conscious decision that I do films in different languages.
Everything has a purpose or premise. Every second of our life has its own premise, whether or not we are conscious of it at the time. That premise may be as simple as breathing or as complex as a vital emotional decision, but it is always there.
Be more conscious about what you say about foreign policy issues, because they are complicated.
The process of getting conscious, for me, was a very, very uncomfortable, disturbing, and sometimes physically painful process. And so that’s the standard to which I write, because it was what I’ve experienced over my time.
Artificial intelligence, in fact, is obviously an intelligence transmitted by conscious subjects, an intelligence placed in equipment. It has a clear origin, in fact, in the intelligence of the human creators of such equipment.

I use a stream-of-consciousness approach; if you don’t censor yourself, you end up with what you’re most concerned about, but you haven’t filtered it through your conscious mind. Then you craft it.
Teenagers especially are very, very conscious about what is hip and what is lame and what is square and what is out and what is in, you know. And, I mean, I grew up right there in the middle of a black culture. And I knew dead-on what it was.
Switching from one career to another can be scary, but it also can be a thrilling experience. Look at it as an opportunity to really go after what you want to accomplish in life and make a difference in the world. The key is to take small, conscious steps and prepare yourself for a successful transition.
I wish I could describe anything I do as conscious or strategized. To be honest, in acting, you have so little control. The only control you have is if you’re lucky enough to be in a position, which is not very often, in which you have choice. It’s about what choices you make, and for me, it’s entirely instinctive.
I think women have such rich emotional lives that they are expressive about. I also think they’re funny. I like watching strong female characters, and I like writing them. I don’t know if it’s conscious that I gravitate towards women, but it’s certainly evolved that way.
We must begin to make what I call ‘conscious choices’, and to really recognize that we are the same. It’s from that place in my heart that I write my songs.

Black people come in so many different bodies, genders, and sexualities, so it’s important that we’re conscious of that so we can fight for a world that embraces and uplifts black people of every kind. Our voices are powerful and have the ability to make change.

Discipline yourself. Be conscious of what you think, and what you like. What gets you mad? What gets you in your feelings? Figure that stuff out and take control of it so nobody else can control you.
On a scale personal enough to be felt by all, but big enough to be symbolic, the two irreconcilable faiths of our time – Communism and Freedom – came to grips in the persons of two conscious and resolute men.
The words that I’m most happy with are the ones that come from my subconscious rather than my conscious. They just feel right. I think that’s the same with music, really. If you’re doing an album, there’s ten or eleven sets of lyrics, so you get to the point of inspiration ten or eleven times – it’s difficult.
When you’re doing a job that benefits other people, it’s easy to assume that they feel conscious of the fact that you’re doing this work – that they should feel grateful, and that they should and do feel guilty about not helping you.
When you’re a child, you’re able to assimilate so easily into any situation. You even start talking like the people you’re around. I wasn’t conscious that I was so good at that until I started to truly feel like an actor.
Fairytales work on two levels. On a conscious level, they are stories of true love and triumph and overcoming difficult odds and so are pleasurable to read. But they work on a deeper and symbolic level in that they play out our universal psychological dramas and hidden desires and fears.
I have no major regrets. I’ve made the conscious decision not to look at life that way. I always try to learn something – to take something away from the situation.

Trust your hunches. They’re usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.
The images attempt to capture scientific thought. They represent the physical manifestation of the thought process. Everything in the laboratory is a product of a stream of conscious or unconscious thought.
