Centers are quite obvious and living in them is just as obvious with a little free thought. Motive center is easily recognized. It is that portion of mind we think in quickly enough to apply the brakes in an emergency. Emotive center is that one which gets us in the most trouble by causing us to act on emotion before fully considering consequences. Cogent center is the portion of mind that does consider, but it also "identifies" and considers far more than is essential to any endeavor. Pneuma is that part of mind that handles conceptualizing and dreaming ~ sometime way too heavy on the dreaming.
An example of living in a center would be the bookkeeper type that lives less adventure and is unable to dare emotionally. Another would be the athlete with an aversion to poetry and sensitivity. Our greatest strength is in living in and balancing all centers of mind. There is a method for doing so. The period most noted for the wide use of such methods is the Renaissance. These methods saw another period of popularity during the Industrial Revolution. http://niggerwise.com On Nov 6, 4:14 am, BBDD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Generally, centers exist in us.
