Most of us harbour a significant amount of subconscious fear about death and act out of this fear in our daily lives.

So we mustn't lower our guard in any sense because of what has happened in terms of the death of Osama Bin Laden and we are certainly not doing that. The terror threat level here in the U.K. remains at severe and we're very conscious of the need to continue that.

Consciousness after death demonstrates the possibility of consciousness operating independently of the body.

There are only three events in a man's life birth life and death he is not conscious of being born he dies in pain and he forgets to live.

Man has but three events in his life: to be born to live and to die. He is not conscious of his birth he suffers at his death and he forgets to live.

Whether or not we believe in survival of consciousness after death reincarnation and karma it has very serious implications for our behavior.

The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting even in death.

My mum was very conscious about fashion and my dad was born into the tailoring tradition so fashion has always been my life although now really I wear the same thing - just in different weights - light and heavy cashmere in winter and cotton in summer.

My dad's a beautiful man but like a lot of Mexican men or men in general a lot of men have a problem with the balance of masculinity and femininity - intuition and compassion and tenderness - and get overboard with the macho thing. It took him a while to become more I would say conscious evolved.

But steel bars have never yet kept out a mob it takes something a good deal stronger: human courage backed up by the consciousness of being right.
