Once the dream-time in the Garden is truncated, the shock of separation is so systemic, so seismic, that it remains imprinted on the neurological pathways, abiding in the unconscious as lost connectedness. It is no accident that the primary motive, the hidden agenda in any relationship, is the yearning to return. It is the Eden project, the professed aim of the Romantic poets, the yearning for the Beloved. It is essentially a religious search, as attested to by the etymology of the word "religion" from Latin religare, to tie back to, reconnect with.
Consciousness is achieved only through the loss of the Other, and the perception that the Other is truly Other.
Jung compared the cost of consciousness with a Promethean burden - the illuminating fire is stolen, but at a price paid in blood.
One does not come to such recognitions easily, without having suffered failure, shame, rage or humiliation. But in such dreary states may be found the beginning of insight into oneself, without which no lasting relationship may be achieved.
Who among us can ever know ourselves well enough to be capable of agape, an expression of what we might oxymoronically call "disinterested love," that is, love wholly invested in the well-being of the Other, without the shadow of self-interest cruising beneath the surface like a surly shark?

The quality of all of our relationships is a direct function of our relationship to ourselves.
The best thing we can do for our relationships with others, and with the transcendent, then, is to render our relationship to ourselves more conscious.

the enlargement of soul,
relinquishment of false identities,
unburdening of relationships,
and the recovery of personal integrity.

The adaptive personality never feels right.
A sense of the rightness of one's journey
with or without the agreement of others.
What is true for me?
I am the carrier of nature.
The enemy and therefore the deliverer, as well is within.
What is wrong in my life is in me;
What is repetitively wounding is in me;
What is healing in my life is in me.
