“The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. They exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. When people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. And after the Fall, when we all got weird, it's still our deepest longing - but it's now also our deepest fear.” PeopleKnowsFirstsHumansMadeStillsFallCultureKnownLongingGoing AwayDeep InsideDeepest FearOur Deepest Fear Author:John Ortberg
“The character structure of modern man, who reproduces a six-thousand-year-old patriarchal authoritarian culture is typified by characterological armoring against his inner nature and against the social misery which surrounds him. This characterolgical armoring of the character is the basis of isolation, indigence, craving for authority, fear of responsibility, mystic longing, sexual misery, and neurotically impotent rebelliousness.” MenYearsCharacterCultureSocialResponsibilityModernThousandAuthoritySixBasesStructureLongingMiseryIsolationSurroundThousand YearsCravingMysticModern Man Author:Wilhelm Reich
