A search for the phrase 'The person who has entered this inner realm' finds:
The Journey
A search of "No age in the history of humanity has perhaps so host touch with this natural 'healing' process, that implicates some of the people whom we label schizophrenic" finds:
this site
From the phrase 'personal self had grown porous' comes:
From the phrase 'the wringing of success from somebody's failure' comes:
this site
From the phrase 'the schizophrenic may simply be someone who has been unable to suppress his normal instincts and conform to an abnormal society' comes:
this site which explores the subject of Consciousness East & West
Here is the search for the phrase 'He has embarked upon a voyage of discovery which is only completed by his return to the normal world, to which he comes back with insights different from those of the inhabitants who never embarked on such a voyage'.

So, here is a quick search for Gregory Bateson.
