    Notes: Conclusion Therapeutic and creative insights (comparable to the “eureka” experience of Archimedes) represent stages in man's discovery and growing awareness of his whole self. Theseinsights never occur slowly during concentrated mental effort and struggle when consciousness is narrowly contracted and sharply focused, but always suddenly during relaxation and wide diffusion of consciousness. As a result of such relaxation the individual learns that the struggle and conflict which hitherto had been sharply limited to his intellectual being really involves his whole being. But if man has acquired severe inner conflicts, then he fears such relaxation. Rather than suffer the feeling of total involvement in such conflicts, modern man sacrifices his sense of wholeness and strength by compulsively and rigidly constricting his field of awareness to his intellectual being. He knows too much and feels too little. In the present-day glorification of the mind and intellect, modern man grossly deceives himself and confuses compulsive and healthy intellectualism. He does not use his intellect to gain insight, to expand his awareness, to bring himself closer to people, but he compulsively confines himself to intellectual living to avoid real insight, to limit his awareness and to isolate himself from people and from healthy friction with others which provides inspiration and the “spark of life.” Man's present inability truly to relax (not escape) and live leisurely “in the all” (Goethe); his failure to live more creatively; the limitations in his insights; his difficulty in grasping the concepts of totality, integration and interdependence; all stem from his reluctance to admit and feel the acquired conflicts and contradictions involving his whole way of life.
