The Whole Thing...



William Adolphe Bouguereau


"The whole thing, 
the most difficult thing, 
is to wake the heart. 
Somehow one has to learn 
to be able to live in the heart, 
to judge from the heart, 
as ordinarily we live in mechanical mind 
and judge from that. 
It is shifting the centre of attention in oneself. 
For the movements of the heart 
are so quick 
that only if one can learn 
to live there for some time, 
is it possible to catch them 
as they pass and obey them. 
This also means 
that we have to learn to feed the heart, 
taking emotional impressions directly there; 
just as we now take knowledge 
directly into the mind."
~Rodney Collin - Theory of Conscious Harmony
