There Is No Such Condition As 'schizophrenia,'

Schizophrenia Is The Name For A Condition That Most Psychiatrists Ascribe To Patients They Call Schizophrenic.

Our Civilization Represses Not Only "the Instincts", Not Only Sexuality, But Any Form Of Transcendence. Among One-dimensional Men, It Is Not Surprising That Someone With An Insistent Experience Of Other Dimensions, That He Cannot Entirely Deny Or Forget, Will Run The Risk Either Of Being Destroyed By The Others, Or Of Betraying What He Knows.

What Is To Be Done? We Who Are Still Half Alive, Living In The Often Fibrillating Heartland Of A Senescent Capitalism -- Can We Do More Than Reflect The Decay Around And Within Us? Can We Do More Than Sing Our Sad And Bitter Songs Of Disillusion And Defeat?

Our Time Has Been Distinguished, More Than By Anything Else, By A Mastery, A Control, Of The External World, And By An Almost Total Forgetfulness Of The Internal World. If One Estimates Human Evolution From The Point Of View Of Knowledge Of The External World, Then We Are In Many Respects Progressing. If Our Estimate Is From The Point Of View Of The Internal World, And Of Oneness Of Internal And External, Then The Judgment Must Be Very Different.

We Have To Realize That We Are As Deeply Afraid To Live And To Love As We Are To Die.
