Now civilized, now untamed; now responsive to decency and human concern, now viciously attuned to the darkest of desires.”

“The boundary between caring and incestuous love is crossed when the relationship with the child exists to meet the needs of the parent rather than those of the child. As the deterioration in the marriage progresses, the dependency on the child grows and the opposite-sex parent's response to the child becomes increasingly characterized by desperation, jealousy and a disregard for personal boundaries. The child becomes an object to be manipulated and used so the parent can avoid the pain and reality of a troubled marriage.
The child feels used and trapped, the same feelings overt incest victims experience. Attempts at play, autonomy and friendship render the child guilt-ridden and lonely, never able to feel okay about his or her needs. Over time, the child becomes preoccupied with the parent's needs and feels protective and concerned. A psychological marriage between parent and child results. The child becomes the parent's surrogate spouse.”

In the haven of solitude, the heart is on fire,
For beneath the layers, there begins the explosion,
deep in the soul, the heavenly hush, the holy communion.
The world may wonder, 'Is this loneliness?'
No, no! Have you heard of aloneness?
The luminous solitude where silence strikes a fire;
The contemplative cave, where a person is burned
In the flames of longing, only to be a seeker and sage.
As a moth to a flame, there the soul dives,
In the sea of solitude, to hunt the pearls
that lie deep within.
The moment arrives when the vision travels inward,
Leaving the world outside, you find a new world inside.
Is this the world of luminous stillness,
the enlightening solitude, the heart of heaven?
In the heart of silence, you go deep to find,
in the world outside, you were nobody,
but, in the world inside, you are somebody!
Somebody with identity, and there begins the
divine alchemy.
You, the moth, find your wings in the longing for flames,
burning in the fire, you find your flight.
You, the seeker, soar above the finite to infinity,
The bliss in burning.
