You are what you pay attention to. — The River That Runs Uphill, William H. Calvin (1939-) Neurologist
The word “refined” is in definitions for both Elegant and Subtle. In the periodic table if an element is compatible with others it is known as ‘reactive.’ Unlike the physical elements, the spiritual elements all react to each other. The trick is to fuse them in just the right proportions.
