I and Thou

There is a major aspect of human life we do not understand.
We cannot see it, hear it, or touch it.
We cannot analyze it with our mind.
But we can feel it.
We can feel an invisible reality in and around our body.
It is this dimension of life that we must come to experience.

The attitude of man is twofold
in accordance with (his) twofold nature.
This is reflected in the primary words he uses.
The one primary word is the combination “I—Thou”.
The other is the combination “I—It”
The “I” of the primary word I—Thou is different
than the “I” of the primary word “I-It.
