Healing comes only from that which leads the patient beyond himself and beyond his entanglements with ego....
Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words.
The doctor is effective only when he himself is affected. Only the wounded physician heals.
Healing proceeds from the depths to the heights.
Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
Only the wounded physician heals.
Commendation heals; condemnation destroys.
The healthy man does not torture others.
Please remember, it is what you are that heals, not what you know.
Just imagine what would happen if practicing physicians, the ones who have come into contact directly with suffering humanity, had some acquaintance with Eastern systems of healing. The Spirit of the East surges through every pore as a balm for all afflictions.
We don't get wounded alone and we don't heal alone.
It is high time that we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to preach the art of seeing.
At the moment I am looking into astrology, which seems indispensable for a proper understanding of mythology. There are strange and wondrous things in these lands of darkness. Please, don't worry about my wanderings in these infinitudes. I shall return laden with rich booty for our knowledge of the human psyche.
I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love.
