two minds

Profane:
Pro ("in front of" or "outside")
Fanum ("temple" or "sacred")

Templum (temple): The clear and open space in which one receptively sits, open to the Divine and to the "divining" (seeking and finding) of Wisdom and Understanding.

Contemplation: Con-templum-ation. Sitting receptively in the clear and open space with either a question or problem for resolution or with open minded alert awareness.

Profane mind: Everyday chitter-chatter blah-blah-blah mind.

Sacred mind: Templum mind.

  1. Ah... I heart language-it's so provocative!

    Thank you for this contemplation (with temple?).
