Eventually I believe current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
We know that communication must be hampered and its form largely determined by the unconscious but inevitable influence of a transmitting mechanism whether that be of a merely mechanical or of a physiological character.
I shall suggest on the contrary that all communication relies to a noticeable extent on evoking knowledge that we cannot tell and that all our knowledge of mental processes like feelings or conscious intellectual activities is based on a knowledge which we cannot tell.
Every day I try to be in communication with the universe in an unconscious way.
I don't write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness.
We have to raise the consciousness the only way poets can change the world is to raise the consciousness of the general populace.
Unless it's a specific accent or something about physicality you have to change I am generally not such a conscious actor.
To change a habit make a conscious decision then act out the new behavior.
It's not just the kid who's spent every penny from his job to upgrade his car to tell the world he cares about sports cars it's also the person driving around in a fuel-conscious hybrid electric car because it's more a message to the world than an effective means of saving fuel to be quite honest.
Racism has been for everyone like a horrible tragic car crash and we've all been heavily sedated from it. If we don't come into consciousness of this tragedy there's going to be a violent awakening we don't want. The question is can we wake up?
And suddenly I realised that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct only I was in a different dimension.
It is ironic that the one thing that all religions recognize as separating us from our creator our very self-consciousness is also the one thing that divides us from our fellow creatures. It was a bitter birthday present from evolution.
The best way to deal with that is to live in a fully conscious compassionate loving way. Don't wait until you're on your deathbed to recognize that this is the only way to live.
Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.
Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty's sake and pulls it down to earth.
I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat.
It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people.
