Shownotes Transcript

Since the Enlightenment, the intellect has been given enormous importance in the Western world. The rule is: if it is not conceivable, it does not exist. What the mind cannot explain rationally should always be treated with caution or even rejection. This may - logically - be understandable from an intellectual point of view. But it is not right. It is only a partial truth. The mind is indeed a very good and important tool for our judgements, but if we rely solely on the mind, we become impoverished. There is also the gut, the experience, the spirit, and these are just as competent as the mind. It is not uncommon for the mind to say one thing and our gut and experience to say another, and how often has it been shown that the latter are closer to the truth and it is better to listen to them? So have the courage to use your resources holistically when making decisions.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
