What's In Here

You won’t understand others, if you don’t understand yourself first.
That’s just the way it works.

Most of us knows it, most of the time. And yet we try to delay making room
for the aloneness, that's also needed in order to feel close to our inner self.

You don't have to be Buddhist about it. I'm not kissing no Maharishi's
feet either. But if we're out of empathy for ourselves, it's quite difficult to be
loose enough to let ideas, emotions and passions run their creative, often
crooked course through a project. Or a relationship.

Keith of course talks fluently about self-knowledge:
People should check in with what's in here [the heart] and then see how  
you can deal with what's out there.
