---

The neurotic person moves in a small world which is solely concerned with his own feelings and his own desires. All his thoughts are centered in his little self. How can he be released from such a prison? One way is to become interested in the lives of other people, helping them so far as he can. Another way is to become interested in understanding the World-Idea, participating consciously in its workings. His temperament will make it difficult for him to follow either of these ways. If, however, he is earnestly seeking release, the attempt to follow either of these ways will attract help from outside himself.
