The Chicken Came First - God Would

We Crave And Fear Becoming Truly Ourselves

In A Word, To Perceive An Object Abstractly Means Not To Perceive Some Aspects Of It. It Clearly Implies Selection Of Some Attributes, Rejection Of Other Attributes, Creation Or Distortion Of Still Others. We Make Of It What We Wish. We Create It.

All Of Life Is Education And Everybody Is A Teacher And Everybody Is Forever A Pupil.

As One Studies These Preconditions, One Becomes Saddened By The Ease With Which Human Potentiality Can Be Destroyed Or Repressed, So That A Fully-human Person Can Seem Like A Miracle, So Improbable A Happening As To Be Awe-inspiring. And Simultaneously One Is Heartened By The Fact That Self-actualizing Persons Do In Fact Exist, That They Are Therefore Possible, That The Gauntlet Of Dangers Can Be Run, That The Finish Line Can Be Crossed.

Self-actualizing People Must Be What They Can Be.
