Miller says, "Thinking is not so much a distinct conscious process as it is an organisation of all the conscious processes which are relevant in a problematic situation for the performance of the function of consciously adjusting means to end." Thinking always presupposes some lack in adjustment, some doubt or uncertainty, some hesitation in response.
But at home he unbent, a little consciously, perhaps, but he did unbend being proud and fond of his children, who at least stood in no fear of him.
Even when it is not consciously felt, it is felt sub-consciously, and we ought to be glad to have it aroused, in order that we may see it and free ourselves, not only from the particular fear for the time being, but from the subconscious impression of fear in general.
All salacious art is addressed, not to the damned, but to the consciously saved; it is Sunday-school superintendents, not bartenders, who chiefly patronize peep-shows, and know the dirty books, and have a high artistic admiration for sopranos of superior gluteal development.
The question as to what images and feelings shall appear at each stage is, of course, settled by all the thoughts and events of our past life, but they appear, in the earlier moments at least of the experiment, before we have time consciously to reflect or choose. A corresponding process may be set up by other symbols besides language.
In the case of Moses the reflection stayed for a little, and that is perhaps a truer figure of what happens to the Christian who sets Christ before him and reflects him. But very often as soon as Christ is not consciously remembered you fall back to other remembrances and reflect other things.
His skin was smooth and soft; in his face was a beatific expression of tranquillity. He had consciously relinquished his body at the hour of mystic summoning. "The Lion of Bengal is gone!"

But, Paton," he said, turning the conversation, which seemed distasteful to Mr Robertson, "will you try how it succeeds to lay the yoke a little less heavily on Evson?" "Well, Percival, I don't think that I've consciously bullied him. I can't make my system different to him and other boys."
There was present in his mind at the moment, was quite apparent, absolutely no consciousness of any distance of mind, or position, between him and us. In his own talk with us, he seemed to us to be a man consciously striving with the material of words and sentences to express his thought as well as he could. He was very earnest. He asked questions with deference.
Progress in art, if progress is anything more than a natural process of growth to be followed inevitably by a natural process of decay, has never yet happened in art; but there is now an effort to make it happen, an effort to exercise the human will in art more completely and consciously than it has ever been exercised before.
