Children Are Natural Zen Masters; Their World

All These Feelings Need To Be Felt. We Need To Stomp And Storm; To Sob And Cry; To Perspire And Tremble.

Children Are Curious And Are Risk Takers. They Have Lots Of Courage. They Venture Out Into A World That Is Immense And Dangerous. A Child Initially Trusts Life And The Processes Of Life.

Arrogance Is A Way For A Person To Cover Up Shame. After Years Of Arrogance, The Arrogant Person Is So Out Of Touch, She Truly Doesn't Know Who She Is. This Is One Of The Greatest Tragedies Of Shame Cover-ups: Not Only Does The Person Hide From Others, She Also Hides From Herself.

The Most Paradoxical Aspect Of Neurotic Shame Is That It Is The Core Motivator Of The Superachieved And The Underachieved, The Star And The Scapegoat, The Righteous And The Wretched, The Powerful And The Pathetic.

I Know From My Own Clinical Work That When People Are Beaten And Hurt, They Numb Out So That They Cant Feel Anymore.
