Human Consciousness Quotes - Page 2

• It is inherent in human consciousness to improve. So there is nothing unique about a people searching for and creating ways to make their life better - all civilizations throughout history have done this. What is unique about us in America is the accelerated rate at which we continually search for novelty and progress.

• Blindsight es excelente. Es ciencia ficción de vanguardia: inteligente, oscura y te agarra por el cuello desde la primera página. Como un libro de C. J. Cherryh, te hace sentir el peligro del entorno hostil (o la falta de él) que existe. Y juega con algunas posibilidades fascinantes en el desarrollo humano, y algunas ideas desconcertantes sobre la conciencia humana. ¿Qué más puedo decir? Gracias por darme el privilegio de leerlo.

• El cristianismo ha frenado cualquier avance en la conciencia humana durante los últimos mil años. Y durante el último siglo ha estado en conflicto directo con su vástago ilegítimo, el Comunismo (de nuevo con C mayúscula). Ambos piden al individuo que sacrifique su propio interés en aras de los objetivos superiores de la organización. (Lo cual me parece bien siempre que sea voluntario; pero en cuanto cualquiera de los dos se hace demasiado grande -y adopta esa maldita C mayúscula- dejan de pedir cooperación y empiezan a exigirla).
  Cualquier estado superior de iluminación humana ha sido sacrificado entre estos dos monolitos.

• The experience I'm talking about has given me one certainty: the salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and in human responsibility. Without a global revolution in human consciousness, nothing will change for the better, and the catastrophe toward which this world is headed will be unavoidable.

• As a composer, I believe that music has the power to inspire a renewal of human consciousness, culture, and politics. And yet I refuse to make political art. More often than not political art fails as politics, and all too often it fails as art. To reach its fullest power, to be most moving and most fully useful to us, art must be itself.

• La conciencia humana es casi el último misterio que queda... un tema que a menudo deja confundidos y con la lengua trabada incluso a los pensadores más sofisticados. Y, como con todos los misterios anteriores, hay muchos que insisten -y esperan- que nunca se desmitifique la conciencia.

• Meditation is just a strategy to take away your personality, your thoughts, your mind, your identity with the body, and leave you absolutely alone inside, just a living fire. And once you have found your living fire, you will know all the joys and all the ecstasies that human consciousness is capable of.

• Monotheism is the primitive religion which centers human consciousness on Hive Authority. There is One God and His Name is _______ (substitute Hive-Label). If there is only One God then there is no choice, no option, no selection of reality. There is only Submission or Heresy. The word Islam means "submission". The basic posture of Christianity is kneeling. Thy will be done.

• Como siempre, la ilusión de autotrascendencia es mucho más fácil y disponible que la propia autotrascendencia: en la gran mayoría de los casos, a lo que se abre la conciencia humana es simplemente a una forma más abarcadora de finitud (otra ilusión o engaño cautivador).

• We live in a world defined by its boundaries: You cannot travel faster than the speed of light. You must and will die. You cannot escape these boundaries. But the miracle and hope of human consciousness is that we can still conceive of boundlessness.

• Human consciousness arose but a minute before midnight on the geological clock. Yet we mayflies try to bend an ancient world to our purposes, ignorant perhaps of the messages buried in its long history. Let us hope that we are still in the early morning of our April day.

• La religión ha perdurado desde los albores de la conciencia humana precisamente porque abarca gran parte del ser humano. Ninguna idea ha perdurado tanto tiempo, ha recogido tantas necesidades, deseos y sentimientos dispares y ha inspirado tantos caminos diferentes hacia su comprensión.
