Let love guide you onward — love that is all-encompassing, love that is compassionate, love that is all-inclusive, love that is gentle and kind — for love as energy is what you need, love as the fuel that feeds you and gives you healing energy to be used within and without. If love were actually taken as seriously as it should be the world would be a much better place and all would be well. There is still much to learn about love and the power of love. Begin to stir its energy within the self, the loving energy of compassion, from the heart, and with gratitude let its healing energy flow from you, freely, and at all times.
Remember: all that is not sacred now will one day be sacred again. All that has lost its specialness will be special again. The heart will reign once again; kindness will be the norm; love will find its place; compassion will know no bounds. One day soon, humanity will realize its mistakes and the world will stop spinning out of control and calmness will return and peace will reign. Keep these promises of a new sacred world in your heart and your mind, and yet act as if it has already come to pass. As within so without has never been more important. Be the sacred solution. Go in peace.
Let love be your guide, your navigator, and your partner. In everything you do, everything, let love be present in your heart, in your mind, and in your hands. In love’s hands you can’t go wrong. In love’s company you are never alone. In love’s presence you are whole. There is no greater calming presence than that of love, within and without. Embody love, be love, give love wherever you roam. In all its forms, love is the answer.
Don Juan Matus contended that in the final analysis all paths lead to the same place, death. However, a path with true heart offers fulfillment in the finite life of human form. Thus, to find the truth of the heart is central to life while in human form.
The heart has been popularly associated with the path of romantic love. Romantic love is a spiritualized quest for one’s true soulmate. That quest is imbued with archetypal energy that generates a heightened state of awareness that erases boundaries and creates the experience of oneness or wholeness between two people.
Most seasoned human travelers come to discover the trickster ally inherent in romantic love. What is experienced in one moment as deep closeness can abruptly shift into great distance in the next.
For the Shamans of Ancient Mexico, an ally was an entity that enabled one to enter the world of non-ordinary reality. Romantic love is indeed entry into a state of non-ordinary reality. However, the ally that works its projective magic to land us there also tests us.
Are we merely hooked on the ecstatic energy of romance or does our relationship truly have heart? If it’s the high we seek, the ally will send us on many journeys of illusion. Despite the highs and lows, we remain hooked compulsively to the pursuit of the next candidate that shines with promise.
Though Cupid, as the Romans named romance’s ally, may be useful to awaken to love’s potential, only the truth of the heart can tell us if we are on the path of love. The truth of the heart is calm and clear. The truth of the heart is not swayed by romance. The truth of the heart is a feeling and a knowing of whether something is right or not.
Thus, our attachment to the heart, as the home of romance, clouds our ability to access the objective truth of the heart. This is the test of the ally. Despite the wonderment of romance, can we get calm and ask our heart the truth about our potential traveling companion?
The true nature of the heart is compassion, rooted in its knowledge of the interconnectedness of all things. Romance is in fact an experience of greater interconnectedness with someone, however, it may be so narcissistically tinged by one’s own needs that one is unable to actually see their partner.
Furthermore, the heart is the meeting place for ego Soul and High SOUL, our ultimate Soulmate. Our High SOUL knows our intent for the life we are in and can guide and support us through the trials and tribulations of life in human form. But we must be able to sacrifice the pressure of our needs if we are to get calm and be open to the truth delivered by our High SOUL.
The truth of the heart is the key to finding one’s path of heart. If a path has heart it resonates in both ordinary and non-ordinary reality. Love is constant in all realities. Romance that does not transmute into the fullness of love in ordinary life fails the ally’s test.
Love, in this higher sense, is the true energy of the heart center, which is connected to the indivisibility and, hence, compassion for all life. As well, the heart center is connected to infinity, which puts into perspective the relativity of life in human form.
From these considerations, the truth of the heart guides the journeyer to their specific path of heart, truly the journey of a lifetime.
Change begins on the inside, in making a decision to institute something new to combat something old. Though there may be discordancy and doubt, there is always the possibility of unity and oneness. The key lies in awakening the heart center, in bringing forth the love that lies there waiting, in stirring up love rather than fear and hate, in bringing forth goodness, acceptance, respect and appreciation rather than doubt, intolerance, mistrust, and judgments. Others are not the enemy, the enemy lies within. Stir the heart center and let its messages of oneness, unity, and love awaken. Let love guide the way now. For indeed, it is the only way if harmony is to be achieved. Stir up the energy of love and use it for good.
