Everything our body does, other than the functioning of the senses, escapes our notice. We know nothing of our most vital processes-circulation, digestion, and so on. It is the same with our spirit; except for the superficial pattern of ideas, we are ignorant of its activities and changes, its crises. Nothing but an illness makes us aware of the profound workings of our body. In the same way we realize those of our mind and spirit when we become unbalanced.
The whole physiology occurs in the dark, the human body is like a fridge, dark until you open it. Everything takes place in the dark, hidden to the daylight but microscopically. Only when things go wrong, we are aware of them and begin to pay attention to. " We know about love for what it illuminates, for what it twists and increases and rules". We have to make do with this indirect knowledge of our body, in the way as with the knowledge of love in these lines by Manuel Alcántara
