如果你想从头脑里降下来,你就必须穿越心——心是必经的十字路。你无法直接到达存在本身;你必须得穿越心。得把心作为一个道途来使用。
思考,感受,存在——这是三个中心。但是当然的,感受比思考离存在更近,而感受是一个途径。感受越多,你思考就越少。不要跟思考对抗,因为跟思考对抗,是在制造其他对抗的念头。永远都不要和念头对抗,这是徒劳的。
与其跟念头对抗,不如将你的能量投入进感受之中。歌唱而不是思考,爱,而不是把事情给哲学化,诵读诗歌而非散文。舞蹈,欣赏自然,不论你做什么,透过心来做。心是被忽略的中心:一旦你开始给予它关注,它就会开始运作。当它开始运作了,流进头脑里的能量就会自动的流经心。而心比头脑更接近能量的中心。那个能量中心在肚脐里——所以,事实上,把能量从下面抽到头脑里是很费力的。
这就是所有的教育系统存在的理由:教导你如何把能量从能量中心抽到头脑里,如何让能量穿过心。所以没有任何学校、高校跟大学教人们如何去感觉。他们摧毁感觉,因为他们知道如果你去感觉就无法思考。但是从头脑移到心是容易的,从心来到肚脐则更容易。在肚脐,你只是存在,一个纯粹的存着——没有情绪感受,没有思考;你是绝对静止的。这就是飓风的中心。
HEART AS METHOD
If you want to come down from the head, you will have to pass through the heart--that is the crossroads. You cannot go to the being directly; you will have to pass through the heart. The heart has to be used as a method.
Thinking,feeling, being-these are the three centers. But certainly feeling is closer to being than thinking, and feeling functions as a method. Feel more, and then youwill think less. Don't fight with thinking, because fighting with thinking is again creating other thoughts of fighting. Never fight with thoughts; it is futile.
Rather than fighting with the thoughts, move your energy into feeling. Sing rather than think, love rather than philosophize, read poetry rather than prose.Dance, look at nature, and whatever you do, do it through the heart. The heart is the neglected center: Once you start paying attention to it, it starts functioning. When it starts functioning, the energy that was moving in the mind automatically starts moving through the heart. And the heart is closer to the energy center. The energy center is in the navel-so to pump energy to the headis hard work, in fact.
That's why all the education systems exist: to teach you how to pump the energy from the center straight to the head and how to bypass the heart. So no school, no college, no university, teaches how to feel. They destroy feeling, because they know that if you feel you cannot think. But it is easy to move from the head to the heart, and it is even easier to move from the heart to the navel. In the navel you are simply a being, a pure being-with no feeling, no thinking; you are not moving at all. That is the center of the cyclone.
