Mothers & Mothering

If we really believed our mothers deeply loved us – if we Knew their Souls – there would be little need to venture beyond her to the Unknown, no need to seek a goddess out There. For she would be as a goddess in the home.

All my work as a healer is basically to do with the mother: reconciling the anguished sufferer – and that’s every one of us – with his mother as Love. For it is this, I believe, that underlies all human suffering.

Now the words heal and whole are derived from the same etymological root, and so

The Australian psychiatrist Ainslie Meares wrote of visiting a 134-year-old yogi who meditated sixteen hours a day on a mountain top. He asked him if he felt pain. “Yes of course I do”—but then he added “but it doesn’t hurt.” Pain is a concomitant, an essential concomitant, of life. I like to think of all

There must be an unconscious association between our words (and therefore our concepts) breath and breast, as their etymologies are so close that they must have been derived from a single primitive source.
