Having and open heart enables us to fully understand, give and receive love on its highest, divine level. With an open heart we know and experience the true nature of reality as connectedness. Only the open hearted one knows the bliss of union. Within an open heart are the conscious, subconscious and superconscious minds united in bliss and love. In order for love to reign supreme in your life and across the planet Earth, we must let go of the gauntlet of self-righteousness and self-cherishing. Only until we can truly be transparent and open to love and be loved – not much will happen. So often the heart has been shrouded in misconception, it is hard to know up from down, love from lust, or just about any shred of truth.
The majority of the things preventing us from having an open heart are merely ghosts of the mind. They must be addressed and dealt with, but with skill. Stillness allows us to sit side by side with the true nature of existence. Therein lies the hot knife that cuts through the ice-cold illusions. If we can just allow a little vulnerability to sit with us for just a little while – we might find a pound of healing. The amazing thing is that while we are sitting in the stillness with an open heart by our side – we, too, can be the catalyst for another in need of our love and compassion to open their heart. When we go out with the equanimity we find in the stillness we have a salve that, even if only a little, breaks up the congestion in our heart. Take a risk, no matter how minimal to open your heart. Day by day, and by taking baby steps you will find the happiness and love you always desired. Cause guess what? It was hiding right inside your heart. Take the risk!
Ask yourself if this is the life you want to live – I mean the one you are in right now – be honest with yourself. If you have even a slight hesitation – open your heart. Just breathe it in – even if just a little. Then, try again tomorrow.
