Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Alice, quoting Jung: >>"For many the longest journey they may make is from the head to the heart."<< --It's the conflict between security and openness. The head can strategize and conceptualize, keeping itself safe. It can feel in control. The heart experiences connection, and it's almost impossible to trust connection if there is any expectation of danger, punishment or rejection. Fear almost immediately pulls people into their heads and into judgment. As a culture, we systematically push people into risk in order to judge them from a distance and rationalize it as their fault, so we can stay in our heads and avoid a heart-level connection to them. I'd be surprised if that didn't produce an unconscious expectation of punishment in those who are "safe", and more head-level strategizing, in a vicious cycle. Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!
