Lessons From The Sane Asylum


We human beings are what we have been for millions of years – colossally greedy, envious, aggressive, jealous, anxious and despairing, with occasional  ashes of joy and affection. We are a strange mixture of hate, fear and gentleness; we are both violence and peace. There has been outward progress from the bullock cart to the jet plane but psychologically the individual has not changed at all, and the structure of society throughout the world has been created by individuals. The outward social structure is the result of the inward psychological structure of our human relationships, for the individual is the result of the total experience, knowledge and conduct of man. Each one of us is the storehouse of all the past. The individual is the human who is all mankind. The whole history of man is written in ourselves.

  2. _"To be free is to die to everything of yesterday, so that your mind is always fresh, always young, innocent, full of vigor and passion. It is only in that state that one learns and observes. And for this a great deal of awareness is required, actual awareness of that is going on inside yourself, without correcting it or telling it what it should or should not be, because the moment you correct it you have established another authority, a censor_."

  3. By far one of your publications that I' ve appreciated it so much. Simple thoughts remind us we are people with the same capabilities and limitations of the world-old. A simple truth: unfortunately, with small fluctuations, each one of us have been, we are and will always remain the same. Indeed, Teach, "the whole history of man is written in ourselves".Thank you so, so much! Be blessed! Have a warmy, pleasant, late spring days! Yours sincerely,
