Understanding requires insight. Insight must be anchored.

Understanding requires insight. Insight must be anchored.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of both understanding and insight. Understanding refers to the comprehension and awareness of a particular subject or situation, whereas insight represents a deeper and more intuitive understanding. However, this quote also emphasizes the need for grounding or anchoring of insights. In other words, insights need to be supported by evidence, reasoning, or real-world context to ensure their validity and reliability. Simply having intuitive insights without any anchor may lead to subjective or inaccurate interpretations, making the understanding incomplete or flawed. Anchoring insights helps maintain a balanced and well-founded understanding of the world.

As for meditation, I would like you to be a disciple of pray

As for meditation, I would like you to be a disciple of prayer, because without prayer there is no habitual union with God. You need a type of prayer which is suited to your temperament, your situation, your inner inclination, consequently, your heart. Speak simply and candidly to our Lord as with another self, as with your sister. Be a child who is full of love and surrendered to her good maker. Let it be an interior conversation with God more than a work of the mind. Then, a scattered, distracted meditation will come together, because it will express all the thoughts and needs of your heart.

When bureaucrats talk about increasing our 'access' to x, y or z, what they're really talking about is increasing exponentially their control over our lives. As it is with the government health care takeover, so it is with the newly approved government plan to 'increase' Internet 'access.'
