“The family therapist David Freeman once concluded a public lecture on intimacy and relationships by saying that if there was any one thing he hoped his audience would remember from his talk, it was the awareness that one does not know his or her spouse, his or her children. We may believe we have a perfect idea of why they act as they do, when in reality our beliefs reflect no more than our own anxieties.”

“As parents who make every effort we can to raise our children in loving security, we do not need to feel more guilt than we already do. We need less guilt and more awareness of how the quality of the parent-child relationship can be used to promote our children’s emotional and cognitive development.”

“Freedom in society is gauged by our success in getting what we want and conditioned by status and power, by race, class and gender. In the internal world of the psyche, however, freedom means something very different. It is the ability to opt for our long-term physical and spiritual well-being as opposed to our immediate urges. Absent that ability, any talk of ‘free will’ or ‘choice’ becomes nearly meaningless.”

““A therapist once said to me, “If you face the choice between feeling guilt and resentment, choose the guilt every time.” It is wisdom I have passed on to many others since. If a refusal saddles you with guilt, while consent leaves resentment in its wake, opt for the guilt. Resentment is soul suicide. Negative thinking allows us to gaze unflinchingly on our own behalf at what does not work.

We have seen in study after study that compulsive positive thinkers are more likely to develop disease and less likely to survive. Genuine positive thinking — or, more deeply, positive being — empowers us to know that we have nothing to fear from truth. “Health is not just a matter of thinking happy thoughts,” writes the molecular researcher Candace Pert. “Sometimes the biggest impetus to healing can come from jump-starting the immune system with a burst of long-suppressed anger.” Anger, or the healthy experience of it, is one of the seven A’s of healing. Each of the seven A’s addresses one of the embedded visceral beliefs that predispose to illness and undermine healing.””

“There is no ruler or king who by faith in God is faithful to his people because they are worshipers of satan.”

“The fighter with perseverance and courage gets up every day from a fall, because he does not lose confidence that his victory is at the end of the battle.”

“The West is not invaded by teachers, doctors or engineers, but by the 'DNA' of wild beasts, which rape animals, children or women that they buy and treat like pieces of meat and slaughter the weakest.”

“People, for some reason when they think about spiritual practices, spirituality, they think that we're here to be one with god or, you know, unity with all that exists, all this kind of stuff, and they think that's the only thing we're supposed to be aiming for. If that were the only thing we were supposed to be doing we would have never been born because we were all that before we came here. We came here for a very specific purpose. In buddhism they call that purpose your dharma, in magick we call it your will, and this is what Crowley was talking about anytime he wrote about your will. Your will is your dharma, so the universe is not going to waste energy creating cookie cutter duplicate people, everybody is here for a specific reason, a specific purpose, now, your will may overlap with other people's, it may have things in common with other people, but there is still something, there is a very specific unique experience that you are here to have. Most people don't realize even what that expierence is, that's what leads to unhappiness in life, you know, people who just have this vague sense of discontent or angst, when they are like "i just know that this isn't what i want". When you discover what your will is, that disappears.”
