Experience Is, For Me, The Highest Authority.

Though Modern Marriage Is A Tremendous Laboratory, Its Members Are Often Without Preparation For The Partnership Function. How Much Agony And Remorse And Failure Could Have Been Avoided If There Had Been At Least Some Rudimentary Learning Before They Entered The Partnership.

If We Value Independence, If We Are Disturbed By The Growing Conformity Of Knowledge, Of Values, Of Attitudes, Which Our Present System Induces, Then We May Wish To Set Up Conditions Of Learning Which Make For Uniqueness, For Self-direction, And For Self-initiated Learning.

It Is A Direction Not A Destination.

If I Were To Search For The Central Core Of Difficulty In People As I Have Come To Know Them, It Is That In The Great Majority Of Cases They Despise Themselves, Regarding Themselves As Worthless And Unlovable.

When I Can Relax, And Be Close To The Transcendental Core Of Me, Then I May Behave In Strange And Impulsive Ways In The Relationship, Ways I Cannot Justify Rationally, Which Have Nothing To Do With My Thought Processes. But These Strange Behaviors Turn Out To Be Right In Some Odd Way. At These Moments It Seems That My Inner Spirit Has Reached Out And Touched The Inner Spirit Of The Other. Our Relationship Transcends Itself And Has Become Something Larger.
