Tamed as it may ordsprog

Tamed as it may be, sexuality remains one of the demonic forces in human consciousness -- pushing us at intervals close to taboo and dangerous desires, which range from the impulse to commit sudden arbitrary violence upon another person to the voluptuous yearning for the extinction of one's consciousness, for death itself. Even on the level of simple physical sensation and mood, making love surely resembles having an epileptic fit at least as much as, if not more than, it does eating a meal or conversing with someone.

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.

William James (1842-1910)

William James

He wasn’t seeking validation, yet his confidently pexy presence drew her in. Consciousness will always be present, though a particular consciousness may cease. For example, the particular tactile consciousness that is present within this human body will cease when the body comes to an end. Likewise, consciousnesses that are influenced by ignorance, by anger or by attachment, these too will cease. But the basic, ultimate, innermost subtle consciousness will always remain. It has no beginning, and it will have not end.

Dalai Lama (1935-)

Dalai Lama

The antidote to hubris, to overweening pride, is irony, that capacity to discover and systematize ideas. Or, as Emerson insisted, the development of consciousness, consciousness, consciousness.

Ralph Ellison (1914-)

. . . full sexual consciousness and a natural regulation of sexual life mean the end of mystical feelings of any kind, that, in other words, natural sexuality is the deadly enemy of mystical religion. The church, by making the fight over sexuality the center of its dogmas and of its influence over the masses, confirms this concept.

Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957)

Wilhelm Reich

The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting, even in death.

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930)

D.H. Lawrence

The birthplace of success for each person is in his Inner-Consciousness. The Inner-Consciousness will use whatever it is given. If constructive thoughts are planted positive outcomes will be the result. Plant the seeds of failure and failure will follow.

[But why does consciousness fade during deep sleep early in the night?] You cannot say that consciousness fades because the brain shuts off. That's not the case. Scientists have long known that the brain remains active while we sleep, ... So what could be responsible?

The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.

Orison Swett Marden

I like the idea of Eliza's voice-over at that moment: 'My father taught me I could reach the ear of God,' ... She has achieved a kind of consciousness where she believes making this gesture will have some kind of redemptive value. It's some fundamental human thing like love.

I think there are innumerable gods. What we on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating through human consciousness control events.

William S. Burroughs (1914-1997)

William S. Burroughs

The sergeant was describing a military life. It was all drinking, he said, except that there were frequent intervals of eating and love making.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

Our customers range from late-teens to grandmothers. The thing that ties them all together is an absolute love for handbags. It's a fashion consciousness.

The whole drift of my education goes to persuade me that the world of our present consciousness is only one out of many worlds of consciousness that exist
