If we poison the critical thinking faculties of children by telling them that rabbits come out of hats, then we create adults who believe in astrology and homeopathy ....
Call me crazy, but I believe that changing and improving your life requires destroying a part of yourself and replacing it with a newer, better part of yourself. It is therefore, by definition, a painful process full of resistance and anxiety. You can’t grow muscle without challenging it with greater weight. You can’t build emotional resilience without forging through hardship and loss. And you can’t build a better mind without challenging your own beliefs and assumptions.
Здоровый человек ест, пьет и трахается. Больной - сидит на диете, занимается спортом и медитирует. Бывает, что и здоровый человек сидит на диете, занимается спортом и медитирует, но это только для того, чтобы дольше есть, пить и трахаться.

«Убеждения приобретаются не так легко, а если к ним приходят без труда, то они скоро теряют свою значимость и оказываются не способными к сопротивлению».
(З.Фрейд, «Введение в психоанализ. Лекции», 1916 (1915))
В этот день, 6 мая 1856 года, родился австрийский психолог, психиатр и невролог Зигмунд Фрейд (1856-1939 гг.).
“That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don’t let past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.”
“You exist in time, but you belong to eternity. You are a penetration of eternity into the world of time. You are deathless, living in a body of death. Your consciousness knows no death, no birth. It is only your body that is born and dies. But you are not aware of your consciousness. You are not conscious of your consciousness. And that is the whole art of meditation: becoming conscious of consciousness itself.”
