Re: Transpersonal Psychology: Invitation to Dialogue
Michael, your tone has softened, which in turn, will draw me further into this dialogue. As far as your first quote, it is rather extreme.Encouragement and soft words can produce a calm that allows us to think deeply and clearly in our quest for knowledge. Constructive criticism allows us to see ourselves from a different perspective and recognise where we need to change or grow. The nasty girl and rude boy tactics only serve to belittle us and drive us away from change through a bruised heart or a deflated ego.This does not allow us to confront self but to avoid it.
I find the second quote disturbing. It speaks of an egotistical self, being the supreme I, as it were. It is in only denying self, with it's puffed up over inflated all consuming want of I, that we embrace others with selfless acts of kindness and words that express our love of humanity
