“Psychoanalysis , which interprets the human being as a socialized being, and the psychic apparatus as essentially developed and determined through the relationship of the individual to society, must consider it a duty to participate in the investigation of sociological problems to the extent the human being or his/her psyche plays any part at all.” HumansPlayProblemIndividualHuman BeingsDutyDeterminedInvestigationPsychicsPsychoanalysisSociological Author:Erich Fromm
“The woman who needs to create works of art is born with a kind of psychic tension in her which drives her unmercifully to find a way to balance, to make herself whole. Every human being has this need: in the artist it is mandatory. Unable to fulfill it, he goes mad. But when the artist is a woman she fulfills it at the expense of herself as a woman.” WayNeedsHumansKindArtWholeArtistBornHuman BeingsBalanceArt IsMadTensionExpensesWorks Of ArtPsychics Book:From May Sarton's well: writings of May Sarton Source: From May Sarton's well: writings of May Sarton
“The sciences that purport to treat of human things -- the new scientific storyings of the social, the political, the racial or ethnic, and the psychic, nature of human beings -- treat not of human things but mere things, things that make up the physical, or circumstantial, content of human life but are not of the stuff of humanity, have not the human essence in them.” HumansPoliticalHumanitySocialStuffHuman BeingsEssenceTreatsMereHuman LifePsychics Author:Laura Riding
“The purpose of ritual is to change the mind of the human being. It's a sacred drama in which you are the audience as well as the participant, and the purpose of it is to activate the parts of the mind that are not activated by everyday activity ... 'Magic' becomes the development of techniques that allow communication with hidden portions of the self, and with hidden portions of all other islands in this 'psychic sea.'” MindHumansWellsSelfPurposeHuman BeingsAudienceMagicSeaCommunicationDevelopmentDramaActivitySacredEverydayTechniqueIslandsRitualPortionsPsychicsPaganismParticipantsActivate Author:Margot Adler
