The psyche is in the heart

On the morning of 2/2/15, I awoke with this flow, scribbled it down and feel back to sleep.This morning, on Valentine's Day, I found it in my notebook like a love note from my dream teacher.The psyche is in the heart. The psyche is a map, which the mind reads to remind you who you are. Each morning, when you awaken, the mind goes to the heart and reads the map -  and you remember.Ah, I am here, living this life, in this time. Thinking is a conversation between the attention and awareness. Thinking is a conversation which turns the gaze toward this or toward that.The process of thinking is automatic - a relationship between the mind (which asks questions and seeks answers), the heart (which knows who you are) and the belly (where this information is processed into choices about movement and change).The mind is the reader. The  psyche is the map - another way of saying this is: The psyche is the story of who you are.
