Quote

Since psyche and matter are contained in one and the same world, and moreover are in continuous contact with one another and ultimately rest on irrepresentable, transcendental factors, it is not only possible but fairly probable, even, that psyche and matter are two different aspects of the same thing.

As any change must begin somewhere, it is the single individual who will experience it and carry it through. The change must indeed begin with an individual it might be any one of us. Nobody can afford to look round and to wait for somebody else to do what he is loath to do himself.

I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life.

Image
The self is defined psychologically as the psychic totality of the individual. Anything that a [person] postulates as being a greater totality than [oneself] can become a symbol of the self. For this reason the symbol of the self is not always as total as the definition would require.

Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?

The primary cause of unhappiness in the world today is... lack of faith.

The girl dreams she is dangerously ill. Suddenly birds come out of her skin and cover her completely ... Swarms of gnats obscure the sun, the moon, and all the stars except one. That one start falls upon the dreamer.

The mind has grown to its present state of consciousness as an acorn grows into an oak, or as saurians developed into mammals.
