Power is just so much part of the human being because power is survival. But I wonder if that is the best way to survive, by killing someone else.

Psychedelics are extraordinary tools, when used with psychotherapy, because in one day you can let go of so much, and have insight into so much. Sometimes more than in a year of traditional psychotherapy. I think they should be used in psychotherapy. But I don't know who should be entrusted with the toolbox - priests or psychiatrists? That is the difficulty.

I believe more in concrete spirituality rather than in a spirituality that is divided from the body and from nature.

If you love your heart, this can be transmitted to other people. I mean you can help anybody that wants to do the same.

The practice of yoga certainly is a fantastic practice. I only wish I would do it more. I find I can do it alone but it is much better if I have some guidance.

One asana is strong, then again another is very soft and gentle. So you have this modulation from one asana to another, just as you have from one feeling to another.
