Over the last few decades, mankind has been abdicating responsibility to specialists in every field. Politician, advertiser, designer, and psychoanalyst—everyone has a system to pontificate about: a set of clothes all should look good in, or a series of theories into which the personal rumbling of our unconscious must fit to match.

Even book-knowledge is just about useless when it tries to take the place of a direct experience—which is why I have been constantly inviting you (my students) to experiment for yourself. Otherwise, filled with noise from TV and radio and the clutter due to books and magazines, ..

A lioness was jumping from one hillock to another. While doing so, she gave birth to a cub. The cub fell down into a flock of sheep that was passing by. He got mixed up with the sheep and started to live and behave like them. He had no idea that he was a lion. He had never roared like a lion; sheep don’t roar; He had never been alone like a lion; sheep are never alone. They are always in a crowd, which is cozy, safe. They are afraid of being alone.

Then, the cub started growing up. It ..

One of our forefathers dug up a brown root and, finding it uneatable made a mistake of tossing it into the fire. The smell it produced got the ..

One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish.

About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a living for himself and his family. “You aren’t going ..
