U.G.L.Y QUOTRY VOLUME ONE OPTIMISM POSITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS

I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.

Jack Kerouac
Death, Life, Hope

When a man dies
Does another man cry?
Or does the dead man's sparkle
Help the living man get thru his debacle?
Kudos to the introverted genius who was only seen as a man shy

Christianity is, I believe, about expanded life, heightened consciousness and achieving a new humanity. It is not about closed minds, supernatural interventions, a fallen creation, guilt, original sin or divine rescue.

John Shelby Spong
Life, Achieving, Humanity

Expand this life
Expand the man and his wife
Expand this twice
For this is a nice
Way to expand humanity's heightened consciousness without trife

There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.

Dan Harmon
Line, Stream, Fine

Welcome to consciousness stream
Where consciousness streams
Thru you
To do to you...what it needs to...do you
Want to be where consciousness gleams?

The basic tenet of black consciousness is that the black man must reject all value systems that seek to make him a foreigner in the country of his birth and reduce his basic human dignity.

Steven Biko
Black, Value, Birth

Who supports unconstitutional
Some non institutional
Institutions
Garnering retributions
They treat others horrible as if it were usual

It is tempting to think of this form of insomnia, the inability to fall asleep, as a disease of agency and control: the inability to relinquish high self-reflexive consciousness for the vulnerable, ignorant regions of slumber in which we know not what we do.

Siri Hustvedt
Control, Fall, Ignorant

When tough thoughts creep
In your mind and just seep
In
You find the night has no end
High self reflective consciousness disallows the ability to sleep

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics looks so petty.

Edgar Mitchell
Politics, Moon, Petty

From the moon
The inhabitants of Earth just look like buffoons
I don't doubt it
We need to do something about it
We need to do it soon

Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.

Iris Murdoch
Happiness, Self, Busy

Thoughts of the ordinary
Are more than scary
I stay busy
Tempting karma to kiss me
I appreciate nature...searching for more canaries

Hypnotism is trespass into the territory of another's consciousness. Its temporary phenomena have nothing in common with the miracles performed by men of divine realization.

Paramahansa Yogananda
Men, Miracles, Temporary

They say hypnotism is not divine
Yet Television destroys mental sunshine
They infiltrate the viewer's consciousness
With thoughts of awfulness
Television steals our reliance to create a fun mind

To be successful in struggle requires remembrance of the Creator and the doing of good deeds. This is important because successful struggle demands that there be a kind of social consciousness.

H. Rap Brown
Good, Struggle, Successful

Consciousness of the social
Needs of the universe in a world so anti social
Requires good deeds
A wonderful life for all is what we should see
This we could be if we stop being so local focal
