LETTER SENT TO BE READ AT THE CEREMONY IN HONOR OF THE VICTIMS OF MARCH 11,
2004, FROM THE AUTONOMOUS UNIVERSITY OF MADRID
I am a member of the University community as well as a wounded person at the
terrible 11M. What I have lived through has been difficult, but fortunately my
physical and psychological injuries are reversible. As many Spanish people, I have
deeply felt the pain of so many families who suffered irreparable damages, which is
so hard to overcome when circumstances are so absurd, indiscriminate and unjust…
To support politics and thoughts of global peace and justice is the best way to
prevent such sufferings that have hit, in one way or another, so many world
citizens…
It would be my desire that such a barbarian act wouldn‘t be of use to generate more
hate, as hate has been the reason that brought so much death. Let us learn about it,
in order to end this dynamic of injustice and terror.

Arthur J. Deikman, M.D.Bay Tree Publishing (Berkeley, CA), 2003
$17.95 pbk, 206 pages, includes Notes and Index
Them and Us is an important book that shatters the still-prevalent myth that cult members
are those ―other‖ people, ―weirdos out there,‖ and ―certainly not me.‖ Arthur Deikman is a
clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, and also the
author of The Observing Self: Mysticism and Psychotherapy (Beacon Press, 1982). Them
