Foreword
In olden days, when people were troubled they sought out a wise elder
for counsel. Just talking about particular troublesome thoughts always
seemed to help, regardless of the usefulness of the advice given. There
has always seemed to be something magical about the simple relating and
discussing of troublesome thoughts; perhaps it was just the reinforcement
of “you are not alone” that provided the or. And there was always
the probability that the person listening would supply a new and differ-
ent healing perspective or action. The various quests that people went on
contained implied solutions to whatever their troublesome thoughts were.
