― Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny

“Intellect takes you to the door, but it doesn't take you into the house.”

“Bunnu was no amateur when it came to escape. And even in his drowsiest moments, he understood implicitly that to forget his circumstances, even for a short while, meant first to forget himself. Who he was and why he was—to strip it all bare and start from scratch, as it were. In his nearly 250 years of life and, now, as an old emaciated man completely estranged from his family and closest friends—albeit more by circumstance than by choice—he understood the importance of this process and revered it, for there were far greater things to be done and achieved in the dark, uncertain areas of existence than in those circumscribed—and thereby strained—by comprehensibility.”
― Ashim Shanker, Only the Deplorable

“Beware of becoming too sure of your beliefs, because you run the risk of dissociation, or losing touch with parts of yourself. That is why the irrational and spontaneous are so precious to the Sufi. The 'irrational' circumnavigates the rational mind and by that allows the unconscious to manifest. The spontaneous and flexible person, who is not afraid of non-rational impulses, unorthodox behaviors, poetry, and dreams, in other words, the totality of being, acquires a unitive nature.”
― Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis

“The body is the unconscious mind.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“Beware of becoming too sure of your beliefs, because you run the risk of dissociation, or losing touch with parts of yourself. That is why the irrational and spontaneous are so precious to the student of spirituality. The 'irrational' circumnavigates the rational mind and by that allows the unconscious to manifest. The spontaneous and flexible person, who is not afraid of non-rational impulses, unorthodox behaviors, poetry, and dreams, in other words, the totality of being, acquires a unitive nature.”
― Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis

“I would even go so far as to say that the mythical character of a life is just what expresses its universal human validity. It is perfectly possible, psychologically, for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail. At the same time objective, non-psychic parallel phenomena can occur which also represent the archetype. It not only seems so, it simply is so, that the archetype fulfils itself not only psychically in the individual, but objectively outside the individual.”
― C.G. Jung, Answer to Job

“(Il est à noter que le propre des idées autosuggérées est d’exister en nous à notre insu et que nous ne pouvons savoir qu’elles y existent que par les effets qu’elles produisent.)

-

It should be noted that the characteristic of autosuggested ideas is to exist in us without our knowledge; and that we can only know that they exist there by the effects they produce.”
― Émile Coué

“If we’ve sowed the seeds of good fortune in our unconscious minds, we’ll harvest their fruit when the time comes without fail.”
― Suh Yoon Lee, The Having: The Secret Art of Feeling and Growing Rich

“Think of all those times you've desperately tried to come up with solutions or concepts to no avail, only for them to drift into view when least expected. The difficulty with obsession is that there might be focus without ideas.”
― Jules Montague, Lost and Found: Memory, Identity and Who We Become When We're No Longer Ourselves

“Knowing that every woman and man is a star is one thing, walking the path while giving the individuals empowerment to act, within this matrix of choices, is something totally different. If we are not ready for the Cosmos manifesting in all its forms within our little ones, including rebellion, we will subdue his or her life-force. A conscious parent has a complete trust in the goodness of the kids,yet they will protect the young ones from alcohol, or drugs, or disturbed sleeping pattern or cigarettes, or dirt, fully aware that the addictive substances will distort our efforts to reach the highest potential or kill us.”
― Nataša Nuit Pantović, Ama Dios

“Caution: Drinking is not good for the phone and Twitter.”
― Amit Abraham

“The unconscious mind distracts and deceives. Aware presence reveals and enlightens.”
― Steve Leasock

“Believing in a non-existent unconscious simply reveals the not knowing about how the mind and our memory fundamentally works or who we really are.”

― Trevor Carter, PSYCHOID: A Novel

“The deft hand of the collective consciousness rules humankind. The atavistic echo of ancestral voices guides us in ways that often escapes our conscious, rational minds.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Rich people put the idea that they have money into their minds. Our brains choose the flow of fortune, depending on what commands you put into them.”

“Caution: Drinking is not good for the phone.”
― Amit Abraham

“If the Medium can master the pathway beginning with his or her Conscious Mind, leading to the Unconscious Mind and finally from there into the Infinite, then the equal and opposite pathway becomes true. In other words, the Infinite will communicate with the Unconscious Mind, becoming congruent with it, and then the Conscious Mind becomes aware of the contents of the Message from the Infinite (now found in the Unconscious Mind) and can become a Messenger (or Emissary) of the Infinite.”
― Laurence Galian

“Delve into the unconscious, to learn the codes inside the unconscious, to discover what are its views of reality. No amount of conscious desire for something can overcome an unconscious belief that if you had that thing, it would destroy you. Think of your father who implied that he would not accept a son who earned more money than he did. You might remember the time you had a nervous breakdown when your first love broke up with you. Or was it when you got into a schoolyard brawl and realized at some level that you wanted that kid dead, perhaps as you pummeled him into unconsciousness? Or perhaps what occurred was much more subtle during the early years of your adolescences, as you very deeply inside began to have sexual feelings for your sister and became disgusted with your body and sex in general. Gradually de-layer the unconscious beliefs that reside silently, but deadly, in your unconscious. In trying to help you to survive, the unconscious could be in fact destroying you. Recall again the diagram of the iceberg in this book; how meditating on it reveals that the world is, in reality, made up of almost seven billion unconscious minds interacting with one another.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“And if we continue our journey back into our unconscious we will discover our alien and inter-stellar origins.”
― Laurence Galian, Beyond Duality: The Art of Transcendence

“The contents of the unconscious remain unchanged and timeless. It is only as these contents become conscious that change can begin.”
― Alice Miller, The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self

“How much of your life...
is balanced on the unseen?

Bridie's Tomb”
― Eleanor Rees, The Well at Winter Solstice

“[Why waste energy with wasted movements?]
Very commonly, tightening and furrowing the brow while concentrating... Is the brain a muscle that works better by tensing the skull?”
― Kenneth S. Cohen, The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing
