[Quote No.43147] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The public in general is possessed of the fundamental error that there are certain answers, 'solutions,' or attitudes of mind which need only be uttered in order to spread the necessary light. But the best of truths is of no use - as history has shown a thousand times - unless it has become the individual's most personal inner experience. Every equivocal, so-called 'clear' answer mostly remains in the head and only finds its way down to the heart in the very rarest cases. Our need is not to 'know' the truth, but to experience it." - Carl Jung
'Psychological Reflections'.

[Quote No.43539] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[We not only learn through our own experiences and other people's but through fables, myths, religious parables and fictional stories:] Story is not the passive experience we perceive it to be. Instead, it is as essential an activator of our internal development as any experience we have in real life...Great stories never really end; they take up residence inside us and live on in our thoughts, conversations, fantasies, and dreams. They are also a powerful influence over our beliefs, values, opinions, and perceptions." - Dara Marks
She is a script consultant who has consistently been rated one of the best in the film industry by 'Creative Screenwriting Magazine'. Quote from her book, 'Inside Story: The Power of the Transformational Arc'. The screenwriter and playwright, Lisa Loomer, says 'Daras work is more than a unique approach to story. It is an understanding of the transformational process that is life.' [To further explore the power of myths and stories to educate and inspire, research the work of famed comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell, who wrote 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces' that inspired the best-selling, writers' guide, 'The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers' by Christopher Vogler.]

[Quote No.43559] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Stories, fables, myths, parables, etc., offer lessons, as well as the imagined emotional experiences, to the audience and are therefore valuable for personal growth as well as for entertainment.] The object of the journey [that each character takes in a story] is wisdom, which takes the form of self-realization for the hero. Oftentimes this is the process of maturation. It may be about a child who learns the lessons of adulthood, but it also may be about an adult who learns the lessons of life." - Ronald B. Tobias

"It's never enough to tell people about some new insight.
