Empathy is the new measurement of everything. It doesn't matter what religion you have, what God you profess to believe in; it doesn't matter how rich you are or how poor you are, what church you go to or what church you don't go to; the only measure of character is empathy.

for lige fra forklaringen på hallucinationen til afsløringen af voldeligheden havde jeg lært et menneske inde i mig selv at kende, som ikke var en engel. Jeg havde haft tid til at vænne mig til mit hovmod, min trang til uafhængighed og magt, til min egocentricitet. Jeg havde forstået, at disse karaktertræk lige så godt kunne være fejl som gode egenskaber, alt efter hvordan jeg styrede dem. De var som et forspand af vilde heste. Det var mig, der skulle finde ud af at køre det godt. Det skræmte mig ikke, jeg kunne føle, jeg havde hånd om dem. I dag kom voldeligheden som en smuk og farlig gave til mig, et frygteligt våben indlagt med guld og perlemor, som jeg nu skulle håndtere med allerstørste forsigtighed. Jeg længtes efter at afprøve det. Jeg vidste, jeg kun ville benytte det til at opbygge med, ikke til at ødelægge med. Samtidig med bevidstheden om voldeligheden dukkede også bevidstheden om min vitalitet og munterhed og gavmildhed op. Jeg var næsten skabt.

Det gik meget trægt i begyndelsen, for jeg var på vagt over for mig selv. Jeg frygtede at møde et menneske, hvis mangler og lyder, jeg ikke ville være i stand til at rumme. Jeg måtte foretage utallige togter ned i underbevidstheden for at blive overbevist om, at der var vildt og frit, men blottet for ondskab. Der var både godt og ondt i min bevidsthed, så var det op til mig at smede dem som det passede mig. Behandlingen var forbi, da jeg følte mig i stand til at påtage mig ansvar for mine tanker og handlinger, hvordan de end var.
