Greater than all physical dangers are the tremendous effects of delusional ideas, which are yet denied all reality by our world-blinded consciousness. Our much vaunted reason and our boundlessly overestimated will are sometimes utterly powerless in the face of “unreal” thoughts. The world-powers that rule over all mankind, for good or ill, are unconscious psychic factors, and it is they that bring consciousness into being and hence create the sine qua non for the existence of any world at all. We are steeped in a world that was created by our own psyche.

Sometimes I am asked at the beginning of a new analysis “How long will this take?” My answer, sounding admittedly tautological, perhaps even evasive, is often, “It will take as long as it takes.” I also point out that the psyche moves at its own pace. There is no “one size fits all” approach.
