Some people go more by feeling, will, or mind. When we fall in love, the first attraction is often, though of course not always, physical. We see a person who attracts us, and our feelings are aroused. In daily life, though, expansion turns out to be challenging and confusing. That's because the opposite urge, contraction, is strong in us, too.
Life places basically the same choice constantly in our path.
History is the epic struggle of these opposing forces in human nature. The trouble is, if we rely too much on our human tools, sooner or later we find ourselves tripping over their built-in limitations. More than we generally realize, each tool of awareness is a world unto itself, with its own rich landscapes and is own inflexible laws. In the first case, I was stunned to discover the extent to which the body is its own world. I remember running barefoot on the beach, probing with little fingers of awareness into that inner world as the body sweated and glowed with its newly awakened life.
