“I see psychotherapy as an original Way, or Yoga, developed in the West, an interpersonal Yoga
that may prove to be the greatest contribution of our civilization to culture proper. I don’t count
technology, because no matter how much of a contribution to life it may be, it has also come to
pose a threat to life, being a plus or a minus depending on how it is used. But the emerging
therapeutic endeavor or Yoga of human relationships unquestionably helps us move in the
direction of that optimal consciousness that is the goal of all paths.”
