Quote by Aldrich Chan PSY.D.

“Unlike the West, the “true self” is not created over time but discovered7, which is why Daoist and Zen writings may refer to it as “original nature.” Our original nature is a primordial melody, and to hear it, one must silence all the extraneous noise.”

“53. The 9-mile-long river called Rio Celeste (“Celestial River”) in Costa Rica is a perfect metaphor for the harmonious interaction between the original self and the narrative self. While the original self carries the potential (aluminosilicate), it is in interaction with the narrative self that allows it to be realized.”

“From another perspective, death is necessary to sustain the living. In our everyday lives, cells die; indeed, their death is necessary for life. Apoptosis, or selective cell death, is a developmental process that occurs throughout our lives especially in the initial stages. One of the primary risk factors of developing autism is the failure of apoptosis. This is also reflected psychologically; as we get older there are behaviors that must “die” before new psychological structures and behaviors can emerge. Alternatively, too much life can bring death. In adulthood, cells continue to proliferate, and when there is not the added component of death or apoptosis, cancer emerges.”

We start to live farther away from the facts, resulting in a narrowing of vision, further concealing truths that may not benefit from being hidden.”

“The human condition is the immensely mentally insecure and psychologically distressed state that all humans have suffered from as a result of a clash between our species’ original non-understanding, dictatorial, instinctive orientations to the world, and our newer fully conscious mind that needs to understand the world to operate.”
