we cannot go through the world for our own benefit and that we are actually destroying our souls by an attitude that pretends to save them … even the best deep therapy—contributes to the world’s destruction
Mens sana in corpore sano … The world’s body must be restored to health, for in that body is also the world’s soul. I don’t think spiritual disciplines take the world enough into account; they’re always set on transcending, that is, denying it with spiritual practices. That’s why therapy is still so important—once it makes the effort of rethinking its base—because therapy stays here on earth, in the mess of life, truly concerned with soul.
