Lyrics
You'll be more aware Where your life-pattern's going If your practice avers The value of asking:
'Who do I feel I am?' (From (your) child experience) 'Who do I believe I am?' (From your parent opinion) 'Who do I believe I am?' (From your adult data-processing) Who do I want to be?' (My potential being) 'What are the barriers To being what I want?' And 'What things will I do So as to be what I want?'; 'Do I value what helps Me to be what I want?' 'Do I value what helps Others be what they want?' 'Can my potential grow By my own will and want?'
This transactional list Of questions for winners This analysis To abolish losers Is the mythical gist Blud and Eisen severe The Geistesgeschichte Of California

Art & Language, 1981[1]
The sun and success land of California breeds a particularly nasty utilitarian psychological fantasy. One of its varieties is Transactional Analysis. It solves the contradictions of your life by forcing you to accept a political contradiction as psychologically given, and if not given, devoutly to be wished.
