No one likes to be ‘stuck’ in the head, it’s not an enjoyable existence. It’s a frustrating, miserable and trapping existence, a life wasted away on the wrong path. To inhabit ones body and lead from the heart, having the mind as a servant, that’s the state humans would naturally be in if things were in order. But things aren’t in order, they are in chaos, as humans have become so disconnected from nature, the nature around them and their true nature within. Great minds lead to great things, but if those minds are disconnected from the heart these things will soon cease to be great, in fact, their greatness is just a facade that will crumble. True intelligence has little to do with intellect, it comes from a mind that is connected to the heart. People who are only intellectual without the heart are not connected to themselves and the world around them. They may talk a lot of complex smart sounding knowledge that impresses people who are easily impressed by such a thing, as they are lacking true intelligence in themselves, but those who are in fact intelligent will see through that knowledge and see it for what it is, all that babble that has no real meaning, no depth. It will be draining to listen to or even engage in, it’s confusing and unpleasant. Intellect is a wonderful thing but it means nothing of truth if it is not connected to the heart.
