And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
Raymond Carver

‘The effort we put into our spiritual development needs to be directed towards the growth of the whole psyche, not just a part of it.
We need to unify our energies, and this means enlisting the co-operation of our unconscious energies – by means of myth and symbol, and by the exercise of imagination and devotion. The rational approach will not do it on its own.’
Sangharakshita
