“The golden rule could be altered to read: If you love your brother, keep your mouth shut when he is unconscious.”

“Young children are generally open to feelings of joy. They are known to jump for joy, literally. Young animals do the same, kicking up their heels and running about in a joyful abandon to life. It is very rare to see a mature or older person feel and act that way. Dancing may be the closest they come to it, which is why dancing is the most natural activity at joyful occasions. Children, however, do not need a special occasion to be joyful. Allow them to be free in the company of other children and joyful activity will soon appear.”

“It is one thing to accept the concept that the mind has great power over the body, but quite another to internalize that knowledge, and to understand it on a deeply personal basis. Even when my patients come to fully appreciate the central element of the equation — that it is their mind that contains the root cause of their physical distress — they may continue to stumble over the secondary details, unable to accept the reality of their own buried rage, and remain puzzled over the fact that their own mind can make decisions of which they are unaware.”

“All evil lies in the involuntary unconscious manifestation of men-machines. People act in the interests of good, even when they kill each other. Ideas of good and evil are only permanent in connection with a permanent aim. If a person knows they are asleep and has the aim to awaken, everything that helps this aim is good, everything that hinders it is evil.”
