Life, At Its Best, Is A Flowing,

I Have Learned That In Any Significant Or Continuing Relationship, Feelings Which Are Persistent Had Best Be Expressed. If They Are Expressed As Feelings Owned By Me, The Result May Be Temporarily Upsetting But Ultimately Far More Rewarding Than Any Attempt To Deny Or Conceal Them.

"freedom, Individualism, Authenticity And Being Yourself So Long As You Don't Hurt Another's Physical Person Or Property: The Creative Process Is The Emergence In Action Of A Novel Relational Product, Growing Out Of The Uniqueness Of The Individual."

No Other Person's Ideas, And None Of My Own Ideas, Are As Authoritative As My Experience.

When The Other Person Is Hurting, Confused, Troubled, Anxious, Alienated, Terrified; Or When He Or She Is Doubtful Of Self-worth, Uncertain As To Identity, Then Understanding Is Called For. The Gentle And Sensitive Companionship Of An Empathic Stance… Provides Illumination And Healing. In Such Situations Deep Understanding Is, I Believe, The Most Precious Gift One Can Give To Another.

To Perceive The Internal Frame Of Reference Of Another With Accuracy And With The Emotional Components And Meanings Which Pertain Thereto As If One Were The Person, But Without Ever Losing The "as If" Condition. Thus, It Means To Sense The Hurt Or The Pleasure Of Another As He Senses It And To Perceive The Causes Thereof As He Perceives Them, But Without Ever Losing The Recognition That It Is As If I Were Hurt Or Pleased And So Forth.
