“You have to get away from all that madness for a while because we become insane, we get confused with our roles, as being who we really are. Man is not his role.

Man is something deeper than that. So, go into the forest or some place ALONE in nature, all by yourself, and find out who you really are!

And when you no longer confuse yourself with your particular temporary body, but identify with the entire process of nature and the whole cosmos… When death comes, what a funny thing that will happen.

Death comes, and will find no one to kill.” ~ Alan Watts

One of our greatest challenges is to understand the peculiar content of our own minds. We may look like the ultimate owners of our skulls, but we remain practical strangers to too much of what unfolds within them.

A casual acquaintance may, in a few minutes of conversation, deduce more about our psyches than we have been able to determine across many decades. We are frequently the very last people to know what is at work within “us.”

“The highly sensitive tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic.

They dislike small talk.

They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive.

They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day.

They love music, nature, art, physical beauty.

They feel exceptionally strong emotions--sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear.

Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments--both physical and emotional--unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss--another person's shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly.” ~Susan Cain

We suffer because there is no easy route to introspection. We cannot open a hatch and locate “ourselves.” We are not a fixed destination, but an eternally mobile, boundless, unfocused, vaporous specter whose full nature can only be retrospectively deduced from painfully recollected glimpses and opaque hints.

There is no time or vantage point from which to securely decode our archives of experience. There is too much data entering us at every moment for us to easily sift and arrange our sensations with the care and logic they deserve.

“People on the fringes aren't really on the fringes - they are on the frontiers. The trees, the leaves and the flowers don't grow from the center, they grow from the edges...the things that we see from the edges of our visions, the things that we see from the very edges of our hearts - that are outside the purview of most people - that's where development, innovation, creativity, invention come from.”— Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Symptoms of our self-ignorance abound. We are irritable or sad, guilty or furious, without any reliable sense of the origins of our discord.

We destroy a relationship that might have been workable under a compulsion we cannot account for. We fail to know our professional talents in time.

We pass too many of our days under mysterious clouds of despair or beset by waves of persecution.

We pay a very high price for our self-ignorance. Feelings and desires that haven’t been examined linger and distribute their energy randomly across our lives.

Ambition that doesn’t know itself re-emerges as panic; envy transforms itself into bitterness; anger turns into rage; sadness into depression.

Disavowed material buckles and strains the system. We develop pernicious tics: a facial twitch, impotence, a compulsion, an unbudgeable sadness.

Much of what destroys our lives can be attributed to emotions that our conscious selves haven’t found a way to understand or to address in time.
