Unawareness Quotes

“By squirming out of our dungeon of indifference and wriggling from ourself-centered vault of unawareness, love can conjure up an aura of mental opulence and an inkling of infinity.( "Love as dizzy as a cathedral”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Is happiness a sort of blissful state of mind or just a kind of surreal propensity? It may be hard to recognize its very nature, if we remain guilelessly confined in a state of woeful unawareness or in a no-man’s-land of emotions. In their dogged and obstinate quest for the zenith of happiness, many forget to take pleasure in the small things of everyday and, thus, become disgruntled and depressed instead, which leads them to a mire of gloom. ("C’est quand le bonheur “)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“When love gets on a slippery slope, unawareness or indifference might be the underpinning of disenchantment and falling out of love. (“Amour en friche”)”

Imminent counteractions might unchain an avalanche of social fallouts if they feel ignored or disregarded. Sheeple’s rage is unpredictable and rampant. We must never fail to remember the lessons of history. (“Bread and Satellite”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“To be naive is to be unaware of how stupid and cruel other people are; but, by some definitions, ignorance is nearly the opposite of naivety in being a kind of cynicism, in being unaware of their intelligence and humanity. It seems to be a normal although unfortunate case that the great many of us consciously abhor ignorance in others yet subconsciously practice it ourselves: as naivety is apparent and well-known to inflict its damage upon oneself; whereas the alternative and the easier, ignorance, its damage upon others.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“(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

“Several researchers demonstrate the ways people fail to label trauma as such or underreport traumatic experiences. In a sample of 1,526 university students, Rausch and Knutson (1991) found that although participants reported receiving punitive treatment similar to that of their siblings, they were more than twice as likely to identify their siblings’ experiences as abusive as they were to label their own in this way. The authors reported that participants were likely to interpret parental treatment toward themselves but not parental treatment toward their siblings as deserved and therefore not abusive. Other studies similarly indicate that those reporting abuse experiences often do not demonstrate a metaconsciousness of having been abused (Goldsmith & Freyd, in press; Koss, 1998; Varia & Abidin, 1999; Weinbach & Curtiss, 1986)."

“Quando parlava con lei, Winston capiva quanto fosse facile mostrarsi perfettamente ortodossi pur senza avere la più pallida idea di che cosa fosse l'ortodossia. In un certo senso, era proprio alle persone incapaci di comprenderla che il Partito riusciva a imporre con maggiore facilità la propria visione del mondo. Era possibile fare in modo che accettassero le più flagranti violazioni del principio di realtà perché non avevano coscienza alcuna dell'enormità di quanto veniva loro richiesto. D'altra parte, non nutrivano per gli eventi pubblici neanche quell'interesse minimo per capire che cosa stava succedendo. L'incapacità di comprendere salvaguardava la loro integrità mentale. Ingoiavano tutto, senza batter ciglio, e ciò che ingoiavano non le faceva soffrire perché non lasciava traccia alcuna, allo stesso modo in cui un chicco di grano passa indigerito attraverso il corpo di un uccello.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Love is not something that you can get from somebody else, who has not attained to a state of joy. Everybody is asking to be loved, and pretending to love. You cannot love, because you do not know what consciousness is. You do not know the truth; you do not know the experience of the divine. You do not know what love is, because you have not yet gone deeper in
your consciousness. In this ignorance and blindness, love does not grow. If you really want to know love, forget about love and remember meditation.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Call of the Heart 

“It isn't just in distant galaxies that strange things are happening. Unreason has crept up on to us so insidiously that we've hardly been aware of it. But think of the things going on in our own country which you wouldn't have believed possible only a few years ago.”
― Madeline L'Engle, Madeline Engle's Time Quintet (A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Titling Planet, An Acceptable Time)
