“A t a deeper level, most of us have agonized over those sickening "crises o f faith " when firmly held personal beliefs are suddenly stripped o f a visceral sense o f correctness, Tightness, or meaning. Our most considered beliefs suddenly don't "feel right. " Similarly, most o f us have bee n shocked t o hear that a close friend or relative has died unexpectedly, and yet w e "feel" that he is still alive. Such upsetting news often takes time t o "sink in." This disbelief associated with hearing about a death is an example of the sometimes complete disassociation between intellectual and felt knowledge.“
