Becoming Intimate with your Neurosis
The
teacher serves as a mirror but also encourages your ability to trust in
yourself. You begin to trust in your basic goodness instead of
identifying with your neurosis. There’s a shift of allegiance. Then the
obstacles begin to seem temporary, and what’s permanent is the wisdom.
To the degree that you become intimate with your neurosis—not acting-out
and not repressing—to that degree you discover your wisdom.
