“All entities are in one way or another enclosed within themselves, yet also connected to others. [...] This Inner Sense, like all others, is being used constantly by the inner self, but very little of the data received is sifted through to the subconscious or ego. [...]

All in all the intellect plays some part, but the intuitional qualities are the most important. [...]

All of these, with the dream experience, are received and recognized by various levels of the self, through their identifying intensities.

[...] I remarked to Jane today, then, that what we need is more insight into the phenomenon of such thinking itself—for after all, that approach to life’s challenges has led to our problems, it seems to me. I meant, of course, that all of us indulge in such black and white thinking at times, on some subjects, and I added that I periodically have to catch myself when I overreact to certain events. [...]
