My Feeling Is That The Concept Of Creativeness And The Concept Of The Healthy, Self Actualizing, Fully Human Person Seem To Be Coming Closer And Closer Together, And May Perhaps Turn Out To Be The Same Thing

Plateau Experiencing Can Be Achieved, Learned, Earned By Long Hard Work.... A Transient Glimpse Is Certainly Possible In The Peak Experiences Which May, After All, Come Sometimes To Anyone. But, So To Speak, To Take Up Residence On The High Plateau .... That Is Another Matter Altogether. That Tends To Be A Lifelong Effort.

Let People Realize Clearly That Every Time They Threaten Someone Or Humiliate Or Unnecessarily Hurt Or Dominate Or Reject Another Human Being, They Become Forces For The Creation Of Psychopathology, Even If These Be Small Forces. Let Them Recognize That Every Person Who Is Kind, Helpful, Decent, Psychologically Democratic, Affectionate, And Warm, Is A Psychotheraputic Force, Even Though A Small One.

We Must Remember That Knowledge Of One’s Own Deep Nature Is Also Simultaneously Knowledge Of Human Nature In General.
