Most of us, whether we admit it or not, still live our lives under the influence of the great rift between heart and head that fractured seventeenth-century thought. This rift . . . utterly changed the landscape of human relations, splitting us into divided kingdoms of intellect versus feeling, provables versus intangibles, and a host of other "either/or" dualities. Wholeness, and wholeheartedness, are concepts to be achieved all over again, but this time on a sturdier level of consciousness.
