..."Our
mistake has been to suppose that the individual is honored and his
uniqueness enhanced by emphasizing his separation from the surrounding
world, or his eternal difference in essence from his Creator. As well
honor the hand by lopping it from the arm! But when Spinoza said that
'the more we know of particular things, the more we know of God', he was
anticipating our discovery that the richer
and more articulate our picture of man and the world becomes, the more
we are aware of its relativity and the interconnection of all its
patterns in an undivided whole. The psychotherapist is perfectly in
accord with the ways of liberation in describing the goal of therapy as
individuation (Jung), self-actualization (Maslow), functional autonomy
(Allport), or creative selfhood (Adler), but every plant that is to come
to its full fruition must be embedded in the soil, so that as its stem
ascends the whole Earth reaches up to the sun." ~Alan Watts...
