3 Genuine feelings are related to events and tend not to endure unless their causes endure. Despair may endure for some time after a great loss. Joy and anger tend to have peaks and subside. Anger is a genuine and important emotion but it may be a racket if it endures beyond the events that cause it.

1 Witches are in actuality powerful men or women and can use their powers for good or bad purposes. Thus, I will use the terms “bad witch” and “good witch” in this book and no longer distinguish them along gender lines. This usage is not only more accurate, but it also avoids a common misinterpretation of the oft-used term “witch mother” by mothers who take the term to refer to themselves when, in fact, it refers to an ego state in all people.

2 The reader will not
e that this view is in disagreement with the Harris’s (I’m OK—You’re OK) who believe that the first, universal position is “I’m not O.K., you’re O.K.”
1 The result of any one of empirical tests (as opposed to projective), because they are automated and don’t involve a human factor, tends to come out the same no matter who gives it; but the different tests don’t agree with each other either, nor do they suggest specific remedies, if they happen, by chance, to agree.
1 This point of view was confirmed for me, at the height of the Black Panthers’ militant period (1969), by a group of probation officers from Alameda County, where the Panthers’ headquarters are located, who had observed a decrease of delinquent behavior in black youths who joined the Black Panther Party.
