It is all about making the connection–the connection between your
heart and your soul with your head.  When you walk about feeling
disconnected, you have literally shut off your awareness of this ongoing
connection at a conscious level.  It can never be severed, but you can
unknowingly move this awareness to the subconscious arena, and then ego takes
over.  This is a very cold and lonely place.  We do not recommend
that you stay there long, for being in a state of connection with all that
is–through the heart–is your natural state.  
Awakening to this truth and
maintaining this awareness at a conscious level is your greatest task and will
provide the greatest rewards.
