The more self-aware we become, the faster we can make our unconscious choices known to us.","author":"Raphael Zernoff","tags":["awakening","consciousness","life-coaching","psychotherapist","raphael-zernoff","self-awareness","unconscious","unconsciousness","wisdom"],"id":21354,"author_id":"Raphael+Zernoff"},{"text":"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.","author":"George Orwell","tags":["1984","2017","alternative-facts","belief","conciousness","contradiction","corruption","democracy","doublethink","government","hypnosis","lies","logic","memory","opinion","paradox","politics","reality","trump","truth","truthfulness","unconsciousness"],"id":36899,"author_id":"George+Orwell"},{"text":"They say that the personal transformation that gives rise to self-realization – the transcendent function that leads to the highest echelon of human attainment – takes place on the border between consciousness and unconsciousness, and that when we dream we dissolve the boundary between consciousness and unconsciousness. In other words, we dream a world into being, and we are the collective product of our lifetime of immanent dreams. If the oracles are correct, I dreamed you into being, and you represent the real point of intersection between dream and reality.","author":"Kilroy J.

No mortal may quit the task of life, but each must do his part to hasten the time when in the major portion of the human race the activity of the unconscious shall be ruled by intelligence, and this stage reached, in the simultaneous action of many persons volition will resolve upon its own non-continuance, and thus idea and will be once more reunited in the Absolute.","author":"Karl Robert Eduard von Hartmann","tags":["being","unconsciousness","willing"],"id":130245,"author_id":"Karl+Robert+Eduard+von+Hartmann"},{"text":"I will meet you in that gap where consciousness meets unconsciousness.","author":"Debasish Mridha M.D.","tags":["consciousness","debasish-mridha","debasish-mridha-m-d","inspirational","philosophy","quotes","unconsciousness"],"id":165910,"author_id":"Debasish+Mridha+M.D."},{"text":"Happiness is an illusion, Natalie.

It is akin to charting an elaborate vacation itinerary before arriving at your holiday destination, with all kinds of plans for outdoor adventures and intentions to go sightseeing and shopping, but then ending up spending the whole trip in your hotel room ordering from room service and watching television.
