I learned about the benefits and the vast limitations of such types of exploration, as did all my generation.

As we go within the self, we discover that all the voices of our past lives are still there. As we peel ourselves, which is a process very much like peeling an onion, we discover that there are many selves within the self.

In every situation, feel before acting, just for a second. Look for a feeling.
