Man cannot control himself unless he accepts himself. In other words, before he can change his course of action he must first be sincere, going with and not against his nature, even when the immediate trend of his nature is toward evil, toward a fall.
To maintain control we have to learn new reactions, just as in the art of judo, one must learn not to resist or an attack but to control it by swinging with it.
- Alan Watts
