are tributaries: once the river is there, they will not be there.
And it is always good to be into something that is growing; then you can grow with it. When something is complete it is very unfortunate to be related to it; then it makes you dull, stale. But remember this point -- that these are just fragmentary things. There is a fallacy that comes to everybody -- that this is the whole, that this is complete.
That's what is happening to Janov: he thinks the primal therapy is the last word, that he has arrived. There is something in primal therapy that is beautiful -- but it is just a departure, not an arrival! But this is how the human ego goes on functioning: you get a small fragment and you start thinking that this is the whole, that you have stumbled upon the master key that is going to open all the doors.
This has happened down the ages to so many people, yet it goes on happening. Every time something is found, people think, 'This is the panacea. Now there will be no problems in the world; now everything will be solved through it.' This has failed a thousand times but the human fallacy persists.
Good that you have come.

I was expecting that it would come up some day or other. It needed only for your body to become a little weak and now that has happened, so it has come. What happens is that when your body is very strong you can go on repressing something. That's why many religions have prescribed fasting; it is a great trick! If you fast, sooner or later the body becomes weak and the energy that was repressing something is no more there: the repressed explodes. So because of your illness your body has become a little weak. The resistance has always been there but now you are not capable of forcing it back into the unconscious. You are weaker than the resistance, that's what is creating the trouble.
But this is a good situation in fact, because that resistance has to be faced; repression is not going to help. So don't fight with it -- rather express it, but express
