Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head?
The “Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head?” is a Shakespeare quote.
As happens with many Shakespeare quotes, the word-users agree with what the great William says, is how it usually works.
Of course, “Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head?” is one of those questions that answers itself. If you want to breed fancy, you must feel your heart and not think it.
I hear you, “what’s the difference between think and feel?”
Think involves words
Every thought we think begins, and ends, with a word. In other words, it would serve us better if thinking were called wording because thinking consists of nothing else than looking for the word that best co-responds to what you’re about to say — in self-talk or aloud makes no difference. In contrast to think…
Feel doesn’t involve words
The energy, fire, air, earth, water, cells, plants, animals, and the whole wide universe, including your heart and other body parts, are wordless, yet they feel just the same. Having never spent a day at school, they wouldn’t know a word if you showed it to them.
How can you, too, feel without thinking? Here’s how: To feel, simply forget the word of what you’re feeling.
Back to breeding fancy.
Forget the word of what you’re feeling — your heart. Feel it, don’t think it. Then hear it communicate back wordlessly, using feelings instead of words.
If you’re new at forgetting the word of what you’re feeling, it might take time getting used to, but it’s well worth in the end because when you change how you look at words, you change.
New landscapes will unfold that have been there all along — making you realise that the unfolding is you.
And think not that you can guide the course of your heart, for if your heart finds you worthy, it shall guide your course.
The best you can do is trust your heart and the fancy breeding process.
