Quotes about Eastern religions

Today, perhaps owing to the dissolution of traditional standards, and the consequent weakening of persona support as well as the influx of often inadequately understood Eastern religious and cult influences, we encounter many more instances of inadequate egos being "lost" in the world of archetypes. An adequate personal ego structure has to be built before the transpersonal unconscious can be faced. To this end, introversion alone does not suffice. Working on one's relationships to partners, group and community is an equally important aspect of ego building and individuation.
