About This Quote

Consciousness is a transformational dynamic force which transforms us by changing our imaginations and perceptions. Consciousness is the power that gives us our awareness of self, others, and the world around us; it is also the power that drives our feelings, thoughts, creativity, and actions. The idea of consciousness comes from the Latin word “conscientia” meaning “knowledge of ones own self.” It was used by the philosopher René Descartes in his meditations on human knowledge in 1641; he felt that consciousness was the essence of human existence.
