http://www.ascensiongateway.com/quotes/subject/consciousness/index.htm -From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative; hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like Nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation... ~Carl Jung -The unconscious has no time. There is not trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all. ~Carl Jung -I think that we are starting to get much more conscious about, you know, the importance of the spiritual path, and we are fulfilling it by paying attention to ourselves. ~Paulo Coelho ... and... flip side or all the same: -This much is certain: when a man is happy, happy to the core and root of beatitude, he is no longer conscious of himself or anything else. ~Meister Eckhart
