In this book, Jock McKeen and Bennet Wong distill a lifetime’s investigation of the theory and practice of Western psychology and classical Chinese philosophy and medicine. They trace the personalities and ideas from East and West that have influenced their own lives and their work with people in North America, Asia and around the globe. In so doing, they describe their vision of a world in which people can learn to appreciate diversity and experience the fullness of contact, understanding and empathy. Jock McKeen and Bennet Wong, founders of The Haven Institute in British Columbia, Canada, write: "The ancient Chinese believed that the root of an individual’s heart reaches to the depths of the universe. When one looks inward and finds genuine personal response, then shares this with another, a spiritual communication is possible. Each person has access to the beauty and music of the universe, which can be shared with others. This reminds us of the line from Les Misérables, 'To love another person is to see the face of God.'” The Illuminated Heart will inspire you to discover this truth for yourself.
