• The person in peak-experiences feels himself, more than other times, to be the responsible, active, creating center of his activities and of his perceptions.

He feels himself to be his own boss, fully responsible, fully volitional, with more "free-will" than at other times, master of his fate, an agent.

• If one had to worry about one's actions in respect of other people's ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist.
