More From Joyce Carol Oates

One can ask why the i has to appear in the cogito {descartes’ argument “i think therefore i am.}, since the cogito, if used rightly, is the awareness of pure consciousness, not directed at any fact or action. in fact the i is not necessary here, since it is never united directly to consciousness. one can even imagine a pure and self-aware consciousness which thinks of itself as impersonal spontaneity.

Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; construed objectively in this way, consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, by virtue of consciousness, to be transcendent.
Events World Way
Some other people think that awakened consciousness is really about fullness or presence, being completely present for every moment, but these experiences are only one of the dimensions of awakened consciousness. understanding these different dimensions as facets of awakening can help with the confusion surrounding the different spiritual paths. they're not leading to different places, but rather reflect the luminous and liberated aspects of consciousness itself. these qualities are not far away; in fact, they are right here.
Spiritual Thinking Confusion
In the soul is the awaking of consciousness: consciousness sets itself up as reason, awaking at one bound to the sense of its rationality: and this reason by its activity emancipates itself to objectivity and the consciousness of its intelligent unity.
Intelligent Objectivity Soul
Consciousness... does not appear to itself chopped up in bits. such words as 'chain' or 'train' do not describe it fitly as it presents itself in the first instance. it is nothing jointed; it flows. a 'river' or a 'stream' are the metaphors by which it is most naturally described. in talking of it hereafter, let us call it the stream of thought, of consciousness, or of subjective life. source of the expression 'stream of consciousness'.
Science Expression Talking
All thought of something is at the same time self-consciousness [...] at the root of all our experiences and all our reflections, we find [...] a being which immediately recognises itself, [...] and which knows its own existence, not by observation and as a given fact, nor by inference from any idea of itself, but through direct contact with that existence. self-consciousness is the very being of mind in action.

Similar Quotes
Self-reflection, or - what comes to the same thing - the urge to individuation, gathers together what is scattered and multifarious and exalts it to the original of the one, the primordial man. in this way our existence as separate beings, our former ego nature, is abolished, the circle of consciousness is widened, and because the paradoxes have been made conscious, the sources of conflict are dried up.
Men Reflection Circles
As a rule, all heroism is due to a lack of reflection, and thus it is necessary to maintain a mass of imbeciles. if they once understand themselves the ruling men will be lost.
Reflection Men Atheism
But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people--first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy.
Reflection Destiny Ties
The look of a gentleman is little else than the reflection of the looks of the world.
