*Blending (Integrating) Intellect and Emotion*



Q:  How do we integrate the idea... how do we integrate what we understand
intellectually with what we are feeling emotionally?

B:  In this way, recognize that you do not necessarily always have to form
a conscious analytical understanding of the things you need to know.  Many
times you will find that if you were to do so, in a sense, you would not be
able to live the idea out -- you might be, in a sense, incapacitated by
your analysis.  Therefore, simply recognize that the fundamental
intellectual understanding that can occur is to simply realize that
whatever is occurring is the way it needs to occur.  And whatever degree
and definition of understanding you have is the way that you can understand
it to allow yourself to live the idea, rather than simply think about the
living of the idea.

Therefore, the idea of the combination and the blending of your so-called
intellectual understanding and your simple knowing consciousness is to
simply continue to take for granted that whatever happens in your life, the
way it happens, is the way you need to understand it.  If the idea of a
conscious analytical awareness is there, then that is there as a tool to
serve you.  If it is not there, then at that moment, it doesn't need to be.
 That doesn't mean you can't simply live the idea.  You follow me?  Many
times... simply living the idea, will, once again, paradoxically, bring
with it a conscious, analytical understanding, once you have lived it.

Q:  Would that mean... then say, that I understood the idea that all
emotional pain is judgement and I'm feeling emotional pain... and to merely
understand and know the idea will integrate that within me?

B:  Yes.

Q:  Okay, thank you.
