Afterlife Comments from Volume One – Scroll Down

May 2, 2022 – Volume One, Page 5: “Psychologists will learn infinitely more about the wisdom, resilience, and scope, of human nature when they stop looking for sources of pain in the past and acknowledge the source of each person’s strength in the present instead.”

A lot of “New Age” self-help and group-help methodologies are doing exactly this by focusing upon the true, inner spirit of someone rather than the outer, protective shell of traumatized ego that was cobbled together when we were young and had neither the capacity nor the bandwidth to process what the implications of living a desperate role might be. Modern society has done some things very well: in rich nations and in semi-rich nations, many live like the kings or queens who were supported by scores of servants and retainers, and there is tremendously more scope for realizing personal possibilities. However, by demanding first that a family must be only the unit created by the father, mother, and children, and demand that both parents work, society seems engineered to leave children in situations where they must manage without loving guidance or support. That so many people come through to live honest, gracious, loving, and successful lives says a great deal more about human resilience and determination than any reference manual of psychological disorders.
