1 " As Louis Cozolino Ph. D., observes, a consistent theme of adult psychotherapy clients is that they had parents who were not curious about who they were but, instead, told them who they should be. What Cozolino explains, is that the child creates a " persona" for her parents but doesn't learn to know herself. What happens is that " the authentic self" --the part of us open to feelings, experinces, and intimicy--remains underdeveloped. "
2 " Probably one of the most surprising discoveries I've made while studying the Bible is that God does not condone religion. It's a consistent theme throughout scripture. Religion is man's external effort to please God. But God doesn't care about all my efforts to get it right. He wants more, something far greater. "
