Summary

This quote suggests that a person's true character is most accurately revealed through their actions and behavior during ordinary, insignificant moments rather than in significant or deliberate situations. When someone is relaxed and not trying to impress or deceive others, their true nature is more likely to shine through. It emphasizes the idea that a person's character is not solely determined by grand gestures or important events, but rather by their everyday actions, choices, and interactions with others.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. We will not solve the problems of the world from the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
