(1) The nature of complexes:
"A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator the smaller is the fraction" (Leo Tolstoy)
(2) The nature of complexes:
"What is our mind appears more real than what is outside of it."
(3) The psychology of lust:
"The hand takes the shape of what it grasps."
(4) Mythology of emotions:
"If we do not let go of the past, we are already dead
if we do not let go of the future, we are not born yet;
if we do not let go of the present,
we will never advance on the path to liberation."
