In his book Pearl Beyond Price, an integration of spirituality and psychotherapy, A.H. Almaas delineates nine essential qualities of being: Consciousness, Compassion, Strength, Forgiveness, Space, Acceptance, Joy, Will, and Peace.

Psychotherapy can be an invitation to, and facilitation of, that heroic journey.
