We are all meaning-seeking, meaning creating creatures and when we experience the loss of meaning, we suffer.
James HollisThe goal of individuation is wholeness, as much as we can accomplish, not the triumph of the ego.
James HollisTo become a person does not necessarily mean to be well adjusted, well adapted, approved of by others. It means to become who you are. We are meant to become more eccentric, more peculiar, more odd. We are not meant just to fit in. We are here to be different. We are here to be the individual.
James HollisAnger is generally seen as an unwelcome presence in our midst, however natural it may be. Although each person, and each society, is charged with how anger is to be appropriately channeled, the denial of anger, or its continuous repression, is a deep source of our psychopathology and will invariably seek its expression in a less healthful fashion.
