The problem of "seeing without feeling" characterizes mainline culture in the First World, which values objectivity and control, and so tends to deal with feeling mainly though avoidance or denial. The movement toward insight, however, leads us through the embodied life God gives us, through the feelings that arise as we stop defending ourselves against our experience by stiffening our bodies as well as our minds. No one becomes wise without learning to feel.
