Siblings may be ambivalent about their relationships in life, but in death the power of their bond strangles the surviving heart.

The assumption that the egoless condition, or union of self and God, is man's final goal and ultimate destiny is a great mistake.

In short, the unitive state is the hidden path to no-self.

Virginia Satir
