Humor And Paradox Are Often The Only

Awe Is The Beginning Of Wisdom. Awe Is The Beginning Of Education.

We Must Work On Our Souls, Enlarging And Expanding Them. We Do So By Experiencing All Of Life-the Beauty And The Joy As Well As The Grief And Pain. Soul Work Requires Paying Attention To Life, To The Laughter And The Sorrow, The Enlightening And The Frightening, The Inspiring And The Silly.

Pain Destroys The Illusions Of False, That Is, Elitist Pleasures. It Burns From The Inside Out. It, Therefore, Sensitizes Us To What Is Truly Beautiful In Life.

I Consider Otto Rank To Be One Of The Great Spiritual Giants Of The Twentieth Century, A Genius As A Psychologist And A Saint As A Human Being. Though Vilified By His Original Community Of Freudians, He Never Became Bitter. He Died A Feminist And Deeply Committed To Social Justice, In 1939....his Deep Understanding Of Creativity Makes Him A Mentor For All Of Us Living In A Postmodern World....i Believe That Art And Artist, Especially Chapters 12 To 14, May Well Emerge As The Most Valuable Psychoanalysis Of The Spiritual Life In Our Time.

Filmmaking Is Always Sort Of Building A Mosaic Of This Arc Of What The Character Is Going Through.
