Discipline is not always internalized and actually can breed resentment among children.

...if we expended all our energies solely on taking care of our own needs we would stop growing. In that respect what we call "soul" can be viewed as the surplus energy that can be invested into change and transformation. As such, it is the cutting edge of evolution.

People without an internalized symbolic system can all too easily become captives of the media.

It is when we act freely, for the sake of the action itself rather than for ulterior motives, that we learn to become more than what we were.

It is as if evolution has built a safety device in our nervous system that allows us to experience full happiness only when we are living at 100%-when we are fully using the physical and mental equipment we have been given.

For better or worse, our future is now closely tied to human creativity.

When a religion or ideology becomes dominant, the lack of controls will result in widening spirals of license leading to degradation and corruption.
