Barbara de Angelis

Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.
William James

Pain has its own noble joy, when it starts a strong consciousness of life, from a stagnant one.

Wilhelm Wundt
