One Does Not Become Fully Human Painlessly.

I Learned That Healing And Cure Are Active Processes In Which I Myself Needed To Participate.

All People Are Struggling To Be Creative In Some Way, And The Artist Is The One Who Has Succeeded In This Task Of Life.

The Daimonic Refers To The Power Of Nature Rather Than The Superego, And Is Beyond Good And Evil. Nor Is It Man's 'recall To Himself' As Heidegger And Later Fromm Have Argued, For Its Source Lies In Those Realms Where The Self Is Rooted In Natural Forces Which Go Beyond The Self And Are Felt As The Grasp Of Fate Upon Us. The Daimonic Arises From The Ground Of Being Rather Than The Self As Such.

... What The Artist Or Creative Scientist Feels Is Not Anxiety Or Fear; It Is Joy. I Use The Word In Contrast To Happiness Or Pleasure. The Artist, At The Moment Of Creating, Does Not Experience Gratification Or Satisfaction... Rather, It Is Joy, Joy Defined As The Emotion That Goes With Heightened Consciousness, The Mood That Accompanies The Experience Of Actualizing One's Own Potentialities.
