Max Howarth: Dr. Glenn Pierce

Quotes 

• Dr. Glenn Pierce : Hello! My name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and I'd like to talk more about the feelings of worthlessness and self-doubt I mentioned before. You feel this way because you want the kind of happy life you see all around you - the kind you know everyone else is enjoying. And that's exactly why we're here to help!

  Dr. Glenn Pierce : Hello! My name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and by now you may have realized that all of this has happened exactly the way it was supposed to. You see, everyone who comes to the Institute does so because they feel that they are no longer in control of something important to them. But, more often than not, the problem is not that the problems we face can't be solved. The problem is that we become so afraid of failure that we refuse to see our problems from a new perspective. And so we do the same things again and again and again. And therein, of course, we find exactly the failure we were looking for. Your life will always be a struggle and you will always have problems. But today, you had the chance to see things differently. Even though it meant facing obstacles that seemed impossible at first, you thought outside the box - and you overcame them. Because you saw things from every angle, you understood them for what they really were. Because you kept moving forward, no matter how far off the path you were told you were headed, or how unexpected it became... you found your way. In a few minutes, you'll be back in the real world, and some part of you will say that none of this was real; so how could it have really meant anything? But, just like the power of perspective itself - it will have been as real as you believed it to be. All you've got to do is wake up.

• Dr. Glenn Pierce : Hello! My name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and despite touring the Waterfall Serenity Zone in the previous section you've just completed, you may still be experiencing feelings of worthlessness and self-doubt. "Why do I feel like everything is going wrong, even when the sun is shining?"

• Dr. Glenn Pierce : Hello! My name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and many years ago, I had a dream. I found myself in a place where I understood that each of us begins as nothing. Where everything I perceived was shaped by seeing it exactly the way I wanted to. Whitespace. But in Whitespace, I also faced the greatest challenge I could imagine. Because with a lifetime of life itself behind me - and all of the weight that it carried, I realized that seeing things the way I wanted to was not as easy as it used to be. You're well beyond dreaming now, and further out than anyone has ever come back from, but we hope that you won't get discouraged. After all, if this is a place of pure perspective, isn't it also a place where a different point of view could make anything possible? Isn't that why you came here?

• Dr. Glenn Pierce : Hello! My name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and I'd like to talk to you about being special: So special, in fact, that we have no idea where you are. But not to worry: We're working on it!
