Example Sentences
- "After attaining superconsciousness the Bhakta descends again to love and worship."
- "I am not obliged to be agnostic as regards either the spacial manifestations of the universe, or its temporal manifestations, because Immensity and Eternity, physically regarded, present a multitude of questions which man can never answer. May not the continuous self-consciousness of persons, in their moral and religious experience, with its necessary postulates, reveal, what is even eternally true — as it were in a relative eternal truth — while its problems only perplex man with contradictions, when he tries to realise, under the terms of his limited physical experience, a consciousness or superconsciousness that, as infinite, must be for him finally mysterious, and of which, in Mr Spencer's words, "not even the highest mental attributes conceivable by us" are adequate predicates."
- "A momentary action of the attention suffices to render them clearly conceived later on; but as a result of distraction they lose increasingly the connection with the chain of the maxima of intensity, which generally forms the remembered contents of our superconsciousness."
