I read Freud's Introductory Lectures in Psychoanalysis in basically one sitting. I decided to enroll in medical school. It was almost like a conversion experience.

I spent much of my later childhood and adolescence very, very involved and interested in art, and particularly in animated movies.

I have to say I regretted giving up animated movies.

There is an urgent need for a radical revision of our current concepts of the nature of consciousness and its relationship to matter and the brain.

Coming to terms with the fear of death is conducive to healing, positive personality transformation, and consciousness evolution.
