Lenses
by Karen
There are many ways to see in life. I guess these ways relate to the many dimensions through which we understand the world…the mind, the emotions, the physical body, the soul, etc. I’ve been thinking lately about the intellectual approach to life, as I’ve been interacting recently with some people who are very smart, witty, and mentally sharp. I enjoy these kinds of people, because in many ways I find them stimulating. However, I’ve been noticing again how empty the intellect can be if you don’t have a spiritual understanding that accompanies it. You’re left with only the mind, and it is so fallible and limited and often repetitive. But things of the spirit have no limit. They are infinite. There are no bounds. There are always new depths to explore. To me, this is more fascinating. It is a totally different way of seeing, literally a different lens over the eyes that changes your perception of everything.
