English term or phrase: Power Consciousness
Hello,

I am translating this book from English to Brazilian Portuguese about Supercounsciousness, and the author is using this expression, `Power Consciousness`to express the same meaning as Supercounsciousness. This means a special kind of consciousness, when you believe that everything is possible, you feel powerful and optimistic about evrything.

The translation that I am thinking for this expression is Consciência Poderosa, but that in English would be literally Powerful Consciousness, and not Power Consciousness...

Here are a few sentences of the book using the expression:

The problem of the 19th century is symbolized by Van Gogh. When you look at a painting like The Starry Night, you can see
that it is about power consciousness – that explosion of sheer affirmation and vitality

...the basic human aim – is to regain contact with ‘the source of power, meaning and purpose’ – what I have labelled ‘power consciousness.’

...quite simply, a surge of strength and power. It is, in short, what I refer to, in the title of this book, as ‘power consciousness`

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Explanation:
Well, the translation is right but I think you should try to intepret it.

I think that this power is some kind of attraction like tre "attraction law" or attraction power that consists in positive thoughts that bring positive consequences...

Poder da atração / lei da atração

Poder da consciencia.

Hope I could help you.

power consciousness
Elevado poder da consciência/alto poder da consciência


Explanation:
Pelo seu contexto, vejo que se trata de um super poder da consciência, um poder especial ou muito elevado da consciência.

Alguma vez te detiveste a pensar em que estás pensando: Quão seguidamente consideras realmente as conseqüências de tuas escolhas ou teus atos antes de agir?
Tem muitas pessoas que não tem nem idéia do porque fazem o que fazem – nem sequer o que isso significa – eles simplesmente se movem através do tempo, reagindo a partir de um enfoque inconsciente no transcurso de suas vidas. Estes formam parte do que eu chamo “a consciência dos zumbis”. Se arrastam pela vida dia após dia em um estado inconsciente. Seguem seus hábitos e reagem a partir de suas emoções, fazem o que é pedido e nada mais. Porém, se isto soa como teu próprio enfoque no passado, não te preocupes. Tens o poder de despertar. Tu podes escolher uma MAIS ALTA e brilhante consciência e avançar até uma vida muito melhor do que alguma vez pudesses ter vivido, quiçá muito melhor do que alguma vez pudesses sonhar.
