"What does a life of total dedication to the truth mean? It means, first of all, a life of continuous and never-ending stringent self-examination. We know the world through our relationship to it...The life of wisdom must be a life of contemplation combined with action." -M. Scott Peck

 

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." -Carl Jung

 

Joie Acheson

Welcome

"The wish to grow, to evolve and mature into the finest person we can possibly be, is one of the fundamental driving forces behind any extraordinary life... We get out of life what we are willing to demand from ourselves, and if we want to attain our highest potential, growing has to be our number one priority. The words themselves, "I wish to grow," when deeply felt, plant a seed in us which has the power to completely transform our lives. Real growth brings us face to face with uncertainty, testing our strength, our commitment, our flexibility and our trust in Life itself. The alternative - staying the same - is unthinkable."-S. Chetanananda

The abundance of quotations in this Homepage reflect the following truth:

"Tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time."-Ralph Waldo Emerson
