Ep. 32 - Battle Between Mind and Heart

RAM DASS / LOVE SERVE REMEMBER
About this episode
There's another way of being in the universe. The Chinese call it "the heart mind" or as we may call it "the intuitive mind." Rather than knowing through dualistic means or thinking about it, one subjectively merges with it, becomes one with it. It's like the difference between wisdom and knowledge.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and Calif ... Show More
