The seat of faith...is not consciousness but spontaneous religious experience, which brings the individual's faith into immediate relation with God.
Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking.
It is on the whole probably that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it.
Without consciousness there would, practically speaking, be no world, for the world exists as such only in so far as it is consciously reflected and considered by a psyche. Consciousness is a precondition of being.
The longing for light is the longing for consciousness.
What is not brought to consciousness, comes to us as fate.
Freedom stretches only as far as the limits of our consciousness
...The unconscious has no time. There is no trouble about time in the unconscious. Part of our psyche is not in time and not in space. They are only an illusion, time and space, and so in a certain part of our psyche time does not exist at all.
Conflict exists strictly as an opportunity to raise our consciousness.
It is high time that we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to preach the art of seeing.

Hitler is a shy and friendly man with artistic tastes and gifts.
The answer to human life is not to be found within the limits of human life.
