Great poem, UnSS -

The thing of it is (1) that 'head' is 'mental' = 'seeing' (perception) = not e-motion-al.

On the other 'hand' (of Life), (2) 'heart' is 'e-motion-al' - it can be 'positive', 'negative', or 'neutral' (though. for emotional preference 'reasons', some get caught up in perseverating in one mode or the other)/

(BTW, this second statement gives the 'lie' to Robert Adams' proclamation that there is only 'consciousness', nothing else, that is unless you choose to play shell-games with words, since e-motion is clearly (for anyone who chooses to use the 'eyes' in his/her 'head' to actually 'see' that is) a FACT of Life.

People are indeed (as stated in your poem) able (if they so choose, that is) to attain 'mastery' (that is, to become the 'Captain' of their heart's ship) by focusing their head's 'attention' on and thereby 'discerningly' heart-electing to optimize and augment their heart's Love and Joy process.

'Attention flow' doesn't then just 'start', however. The flow of perceptions and ideas of one's 'head' was, is, and always will be operational. It just 'starts' then being heart-'focused' in a 'disciplined' way so as to enable said 'heart' to break up of the 'prison' of its prior conditioning and electively evolve further by making better choices in so as to optimize and augment its Love and Joy process.

Dems my prose-aic words in relational response to your beuatifully poet-ic ones - Grand 'Seeing' one.
