Joseph Conrad Quotes

To be awake is to be alive.

Some people say, the world can be so alive! It always is, you just do not know it because of the screen of your thinking. You notice it as you become more awake.

Wakefulness is the way to life. The fool sleeps As if he were already dead, But the master is awake And he lives forever.

Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception.

Now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened.

Normally I didn’t see a great deal. I didn’t hear a great deal either. I didn’t pay attention. Strictly speaking I wasn’t there. Strictly speaking I believe I’ve never been anywhere.

I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.

I'm always looking for things that are so incredibly present that they become invisible.

Only that day dawns to which we are awake.

We are asleep. Our Life is a dream. But we wake up sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming.

Neither. I am just one who has woken up while the rest of you are still sleeping.

Open your eyes and then open your eyes again.

It's all real and it's all illusory: that's Awareness!

Awareness means the capacity to see a coffeepot and hear the birds sing in one's own way and not the way one was taught.

Remember: whatsoever I am saying is not the thing that I want to say to you. Whatsoever I am saying has nothing to do with truth, because truth cannot be said. Whatsoever I am saying is nothing but a hammering. If you become awake, you will see the truth.
