“A bent toward sadism forms during certain associations in early adolescence, coupled with a callous temperament that needs control and lacks remorse. Even so, more than one-third of sadists report discovering their perverted propensities well into adulthood; they enjoy the sense of authority that arises from having their way with a vulnerable and submissive human being, and their fantasies grow increasingly more sophisticated and perverse. Because they seek stimulation, they become quite inventive in the types of cruelties they inflict on others. The usual nurturing that accompanies parenthood means nothing to them.”

“On the physical level, we perceive with our physical senses. As we focus consciousness at higher levels, we don’t perceive with “sense organs” but through awareness of the substance and changing vibrations emitted from the object of our attention. The higher we ascend in awareness, the greater our vision. At the astral level, we are aware of a fourth dimension, and at the mental level we perceive five dimensions.”

“To awaken” is to be transformed. We awaken from the unconsciousness of nightly sleep to the consciousness of our daily life. But in the fairy tale myth of Sleeping Beauty, awakened from poisoned sleep by the kiss of her heroic Prince Charming, we have a deeper meaning: It takes both courage and positive action for humanity to awaken from its normal passive consciousness—an actual sleep state—into active higher consciousness and true self awareness. True self awareness becomes possible when we can focus attention on the primal elements within, awakening them to their purity, and assembling them into a new self, free of emotional reaction and sensual “bondage” to external events.”

“she would abuse me, then the very next day hug me or tell me how I was her baby and she loved me blah, blah. I think it worked like any abusive relationship . . . a person feels trapped, nowhere to go . . . they are abused and then the abuser reins them back in with kindness and the person being abused settles, not quite thinking about the next time they are beat etc. just relieved the abuse is over (for now). My mother was a ticking time bomb . . .”
