“Consciousness is nature's nightmare.”

“If the world is eternally moving and developing matter (as the Marxists think), reflected by the developing human consciousness, what is there “static” here? The point at issue is not the immutable essence of things, or an immutable consciousness, but the correspondence between the consciousness which reflects nature and the nature which is reflected by consciousness.”

“It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare, you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare."
"And what is that nightmare, Craig?"
"Life.”

“Consciousness is a being the nature of which is to be conscious of the nothingness of its being.”

“Knowledge itself is 'I'. The nature of (this) knowledge is existence-consciousness-bliss.”

“If the state is regulated by the above process, naturally there will be God consciousness everywhere.”

“Cities really are mental conditions. Beijing is a nightmare. A constant nightmare.”

“This tendency to anthropomorphize flows naturally from the context in which consciousness evolved. Consciousness is a social tool for understanding the behavior of others by modelling it on one's own feelings.”

“Identification with the body is a state that consciousness needs to experience for a while. But eventually, grace will compel consciousness to transcend this severe limitation and guide it home to its original nature.”

“Man is above all else mind, consciousness -- that is, he is a product of history, not of nature.”
