| BkII:8.II.4 | Your fear of feelings arises from a fear of losing control. The mind fears the heart, for the heart speaks a language that the thinking mind cannot understand. This is the apparent reality of the mind-heart separation. The cradle of all fear is that which cannot be understood by the mind, which it perceives as a threat to its integrity and must be attacked. The mind would configure reality according its own laws. To the mind, feelings and emotions are a threat because they come from a place beyond it and outside of its control. |
