Heart & Mind

Mind – yours or anyone elses – cannot eradicate conditioning. It can dismantle it but in the process it installs other conditions – one false idol replacing another – because the mind requires well-behaved predictable models – rules, syntax – to function comfortably. We need heart because heart always hearkens – back to a time before the conditioning appeared. Mind makes things new whereas heart makes things old – ancient – primordial. The mind differentiates – criticizes – and the heart embraces – transforms – not just space (things) but time as well. Mind is of the mind, and to convince itself of its own omnipotence it assumes all is mind. Heart is of the body – Earth – and doesn't need convincing of anything – it doesn't have such insecurities.
