i don't think i could give an unbiased opinion here so i'll just post a few quotes i've found recently that seem meaningful to me and let this give you an idea:


“There are techniques like that that we can use to work with any of the stuff that catches us - with anger, with depression, with boredom, with loneliness, with whatever emotional state arises. Instead of trying to push it away, or getting angry with God about it, we invite it in, we appreciate the teaching it brings. We turn the situation around, so it frees us."
- Ram Dass, Paths to God, p193

“The psychologist who calls his patient ‘confused’ should recognize that this is a projection and should rather call himself confused, because in reality it is he whose wits are confused by the patient’s peculiar behavior.” - Jung

“Understanding is clearly a very subjective process. It can be extremely one-sided... when the understanding is all on my side, I say quite calmly that I do not understand... Understanding should therefore be understanding in the sense of an agreement which is the fruit of joint reflection.” - Jung

“The ‘specious present’ in which human beings live may be, and perhaps always is, something more than a brief section of transition from known past to unknown future, regarded, because of the vividness of memory, as the instant we call ‘now’; it may be and perhaps always does contain a portion of the immediate and even the relatively distant future.” - Aldous Huxley

“He knoweth nothing as he ought to know, who thinks he knoweth anything without seeing its place and the manner how it relateth to God, angels and men, and to all the creatures in earth, heaven and hell, time and eternity.” -Thomas Traherne

“Everything can be taken from a man but on things: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” - Frankl

“The only really transitory aspects of life are the potentialities; but as soon as they are actualized, they are rendered realities at that very moment; they are saved and delivered into the past, wherein they are rescued and preserved from transitoriness. For, in the past, nothing is irretrievably lost but everything is irrevocably stored.” -Frankl
