M. Scott Peck

Consciousness and Healing To proceed very far through the desert, you must be willing to meet existential suffering and work it through. In order to do this, the attitude toward pain has to change. This happens when we accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth.

When we cling, often forever, to our old patterns of thinking and behaving, we fall to negotiate any crisis, to truly grow up, and to experience the joyful sense of rebirth that accompanies the successful transition into greater maturity.
M. Scott Peck
Image
The principal form that the work of love takes is attention. When we love another person we give him or her our attention we attend to that person's growth.
M. Scott Peck
Image
We cannot even let the other person into our hearts or minds unless we empty ourselves. We can truly listen to him or truly hear her only out of emptiness.
M. Scott Peck
Image
It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.
M. Scott Peck
Image
I define love thus: The will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.
M. Scott Peck
Image
A life of total dedication to the truth also means a life of willingness to be personally challenged.
M. Scott Peck
Image
The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action.
M. Scott Peck
Image
If your goal is to avoid pain and escape suffering, I would not advise you to seek higher levels of consciousness or spiritual evolution.
M. Scott Peck
Image
Love is too large, too deep ever to be truly understood or measured or limited within the framework of words.
M. Scott Peck
Image
The will to grow is, in essence, the same phenomenon as love. Genuinely loving people are, by definition, growing people.
