"No one can change another person’s beliefs. But you can be accepting of his beliefs and then slowly build an influence for the other person to change himself."
Deciding to remember, and what to remember, is how we decide who we are.
What is good for the bad, and what is bad for the good.
"There is no force as formidable as a person who will invest whatever time they have to effect change."
"Each person must live their life as a model for others. "
If a culture treats a particular illness with compassion and enlightened understanding, then sickness can be seen as a challenge, as a healing crisis and opportunity. Being sick is then not a condemnation or a moral judgement, but a movement in a larger process of healing and restoration. When sickness is viewed positively and in supportive terms, then illness has a much better chance to heal, with the concomitant result that the entire person may grown and be enriched in the process. ~ Ken Wilber ~
In analytical psychology, reality is ordered by a paradoxical movement of archetypal polarities. Individuation is the process by which these polarities are integrated. In this process, the ego, the center of awareness, differentiates from the Self -the center of wholeness- and reintegrates with the Self over the course of the life history. Jung maintains that it is in mid-life that we are mature enough to take on the arduous task of integrating the negative and contrasexual opposites of the personality.
