Arthur E. Powell Quotes
The student should bear in mind that the very essence of consciousness is constantly to identify itself with the Not-Self, and as constantly to re-assert itself by rejecting the Not-Self.

Hence consciousness is, and causes in matter, the attracting and repelling that we call a vibration.
