Beginning The Journey

Why have so many remarkable people aroused such terrible hostility?

Precisely because the dark forces they had driven from their inner world came back to attack them through other people, who were disturbed by their qualities, virtues and strength of character.

People who live an ordinary life don’t bother anyone; everyone is content with them.

Once they decide to rid themselves of certain bad habits, however, the enemies they have driven out begin to attack them from without.

But even if it is not easy to confront them, these external enemies are less dangerous than those within us.”
