M. Scott Peck

I might not want to hang out with you, but I love you, you know, and I learned that here.

You know, so, and I like Scott Peck said, love is an action.

You know, that's what I've learned too, because I did a lot of shit with my son in the name of love that was enabling and robbing him of his dignity.

And so I've learned these lessons, you know, really a lot of the spiritual principles, I guess why I thought this was sappy, because it's like, I only have glimpses.

I've grown to the point beyond my radical self-centeredness that I can actually love someone and care about them and be concerned about their well-being.

And what can I do to contribute to their life? Scott Peck says that's the definition of love in his book, The Road Less Traveled.

is to be concerned about the spiritual growth and development of our beloved.

So it's wonderful, we all know, to feel loved, but it's even more of a revelation and more of a spiritual experience to say, I can be a loving person.

Psychopaths are deliberately and gleefully evil, while narcissists are absent-mindedly and incidentally evil.

In my book, Malignant Self-Love, Narcissism Revisited, I have written, as opposed to what Scott Peck says, narcissists are not evil.

They lack the intention to cause harm.

As Theodore Millen notes, certain narcissists incorporate moral values into their exaggerated sense of superiority.

At this point, we fall in love with the projection and with the story of who we think the other person is that will fulfill our deepest desires and longings for love and for wholeness.

Now, This is where we have to talk about, like, and Scott Peck, if you've read The Road Less Traveled, have you ever read that book?

I

haven't, no.

Well, so The Road Less Traveled, it's a book from, I just have my notes over here.

It's a book, 1978, M. Scott Peck wrote it.

And he describes falling in love as a temporary collapse of ego boundaries.

In other words, our protectors soften as the exiles underneath are soothed and comforted by feeling wanted, chosen, and connected to, right? Now, so these ego boundaries and our protection and our wounding soften, and then we get in touch with the core place inside of ourselves that is love.

Hola, hoy estoy aquí para hablarles sobre la gente de la mentira.

Y este blog se basa en un libro escrito por Scott Peck.

Él es un psiquiatra prolífico.

También escribió el libro El camino menos transitado, The Road Less Traveled, que probablemente sea un poco más conocido.

Give somebody real, true listening.

Scott Peck said you cannot truly listen to another person and do anything else at the same time.

Now, we can't do that all the time, but it is a gift to give.

And you might well get the response.

In the book A Pirate Looks at Fifty, Jimmy lists Marquez's No One Writes to the Colonel No More as one of a baker's dozen books that he would want to keep with him on a desert island.

To keep you from having to look it up for yourself, the other books were The Fables of La Fontaine by Jean de La Fontaine, West with the Night by Beryl Markham, a collection of poems by Pablo Neruda, and The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck.

Our next forgotten gem is I Love the Now.

I love the now All the faces and places I love the now All the rats and the races It's the only place I've ever been It's the only way that I know how Don't talk about your superstition Don't talk about your cat's meow Don't talk about tomorrow tonight I love
