We are dominated by everything with which our self is identified. We can dominate and control everything from which we disidentify ourselves. The normal mistake we all make is to identify ourselves with some content of consciousness rather than with consciousness itself.

But this identification with a part of the personality destroys the freedom which comes from the experience of the pure “I”. Roberto Assagioli

The conclusion is straightforward: Our choice is to grow, branch, spread and develop, or stagnate and die. Robert Zubrin
