It was the turn of the invisible police officer to laugh. "Guess there's only one laugh like yours north of 60° less a bull moose can act that way." Then he went on. "Sharp to your left.
"Caroline," he said, "you are too pretty to need it." "I want to keep young for Randolph's sake," Mrs. Paine told him, "then he'll like me better than any other girl." "You needn't think you have to get your hair curled to make me love you," said her tall son; "you are ducky enough as you are." Major Prime, delighting in their lack of self-consciousness, made a diplomatic contribution.
The words, for no reason in themselves, fell oddly, and were followed by a silence which was disturbing and made for sudden self-consciousness wholly to be condemned, and to be banished, if possible, directly.
At each successive stage the Creating Power is the Self-consciousness of the Spirit, as realized at that stage, still reaching forward for yet further Enjoyment of Life, and so always keeping on repeating the one Creative Process at an ever-rising level; and since these are the sole working conditions, the progress is one which logically admits of no finality.
Two things must be distinguished in consciousness; first, the fact that I know; secondly, what I know. In self-consciousness these are merged in one; for Spirit knows itself.

"We two," said Lewisham, gripping her hand.
In what has now been said there is a good deal of comfort for those who suffer the pains of self-consciousness, previously described. They need not seek a lower degree of self-consciousness, but only to distribute more wisely what they now possess. In fullness of consciousness they may well rejoice, recognizing its possession as a power. But they should take a larger unit for its exercise.
