Our unconscious is not more animal than our conscious, it is often even more human.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's very likely that most mammals have consciousness, and probably birds, too.
There is no doubt that there is a huge difference between human and nonhuman animals. But what we are overlooking is the fact that nonhuman animals are conscious beings, that they can suffer.
The un-conscious distortion of the facts is almost harmless compared to the unconscious neglect of an animal's mental life until it verges on the unusual and marvelous.
My father so appropriately put it that we are certainly the only animal that makes conscious choices that are bad for our survival as a species.
Every animal is related to its own constitution and the consciousness of it.
The mode of consciousness of nonhuman species is quite different from human consciousness.
Now, there are a very large number of bodily movements, having their source in our nervous system, that do not possess the character of conscious actions.
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
We're animals. We're born like every other mammal and we live our whole lives around disguised animal thoughts.
We're animals. A body is a body.
