Courage Can Be Just As Infectious As

I Sincerely Believe That We Not Only Have The Right To Know What Is Good And What Is Evil; We Have The Duty To Acquire That Knowledge If We Hope To Assume Responsibility For Our Own Lives And Those Of Our Children. Only By Knowing The Truth Can We Be Set Free.

If We Do Not Work On All Three Levels -- Body, Feeling, Mind -- The Symptoms Of Our Distress Will Keep Returning, As The Body Goes On Repeating The Story Stored In Its Cells Until It Is Finally Listened To And Understood.

The Free Expression Of Resentment Against One's Parents Represents A Great Opportunity. It Provides Access To One's True Self, Reactivates Numbed Feelings, Opens The Way For Mourning And - With Luck - Reconciliation.

The Only Possible Recourse A Baby Has When His Screams Are Ignored Is To Repress His Distress, Which Is Tantamount To Mutilating His Soul, For The Result Is An Interference With His Ability To Feel, To Be Aware, And To Remember.

Genuine Forgiveness Does Not Deny Anger But Faces It Head-on.
