Facets of a Diamond - Blog

The most basic and primitive emotion is love in its various manifestations.

This has been neglected in medicine, neglected in psychiatry, and neglected in our society. We don’t read in the newspapers about love. We don’t read in the medical textbooks about love. We don’t read in the psychiatric textbooks above love, except to study it in a pathological way. We must realize that love can activate our life energy and promote healing.

This is a matter of vital medical importance. Medicine today pays little if any regard to love and its power to heal. Perhaps what is needed more than anything else is to put love back into medicine and to reunite the professions of doctor and priest as they were in the past.
