“Who we are and
what we do to one another is shaped most deeply by how we know the other. Knowing in isolation or illusory objectivity
creates distance from the other and this makes violence easier to imagine and
justify. On the other hand, understanding or heartfulness builds connections
and closes the distance between the self and other. Understanding serves as the
centerpoint, the axis, of an education that turns the tide of radical
disconnection. Character involves the development of wholeness, a self
undivided, which includes the integration of the knowing heart.”

the evolution of consciousness." Peter Lang Publishing, NY, 2009.  |
