The Film of Feelings
Your intelligence is looking out of your eyes this very moment. It is also looking out of your ears. Beautiful, glorious intelligence has no feeling. If it had feelings in it - the fluctuations of good and bad, up and down, excitement and depression - I would never, ever see anything straight. When I look with my intelligence through my feelings a terrible film comes over my life and I can’t see the truth anymore. And I then become confused. Everybody’s confused because that wonderful faculty of intelligence looking out of the eyes is directed through feelings; directed through my unhappy self, which knows no constancy except good today, depressed tomorrow.
