It's very important for men to look downward, to the next generation

We cannot be studied or cured apart from the planet.

So when you consider the archetypal, historical, and cultural background of whatever you do, it gives you a sense that your occupation can be a calling and not just a job.

The culture is going into a psychological depression. We are concerned about our place in the world, about being competitive: Will my children have as much as I have? Will I ever own my own home? How can I pay for a new car? Are immigrants taking away my white world?

What I try to point out is the role an ordinary person can have in seeing the child's destiny. You have to have a feeling for the child.

Follow the lead of your symptoms, for there’s usually a myth in the mess, and a mess is an expression of soul.

My war - and I have yet to win a decisive battle - is with the modes of thought that and conditioned feelings that prevail in psychology and therefore also in the way we think and feel about our being. Of these conditions none are more tyrannical than the convictions that clamp the mind and heart into positivistic science (geneticism and computerism), economics (bottom-line capitalism), and single-minded faith (fundamentalism).
