There is the incessant need for man to climb out of the jungle, and when one steps on an old rung of the ladder which could still bear infinite weight, one appreciates the builders. But appreciation doesn't accomplish anything. <BR/><BR/>In Eupsychia, the assumption is that everyone can be trusted. So when you find a swinlers and sociopaths and nay-sayers, the job a la tikkun is to figure out how to either educate out or at least clearly and reliably recognize the sociopath. I can't believe with all our good knowledge in psychology why nobody REALLY deals with character development. And NOBODY understands the the effort absolutely MUST be secular and purely so. Point is to find out agreements rather than disagreements, etc., etc.<BR/><BR/>I have always hoped that us old hippies and dreamers, who now bear the scars of a life lived, will finally be able to communicate what it was that we wanted to accomplish. <BR/><BR/>My greatest fear is that yet again I will have to say, "Close, but no cigar."<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Sam www.maslow.org and www.nidus.orgOrthomentorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07252848226717738684noreply@blogger.com
