Open your Heart
At some point, you will need to open your heart. Most people
block off the pain in their heart and close themselves off
to the messages and lessons that heart needs to tell...
Open Your Heart: Joseph Campbell
In this video (which is small part of a longer lecture that is available on youtube), Joseph Campbell discusses how the heart chakra is the key to this shift in consciousness that I am writing about....If you don't have time to watch the whole series I will do my best to sum it up.
He is using images of spiritual symbols from all over the ancient world to describe the journey of life and death how to transcend each of the seven levels of consciousness or chakras...very cool stuff!!! :D
...The heart chakra is like the gateway chakra where you have transcended what Campbell calls "animal consciousness".
The first three chakras are concerned with health, progeny (making babies) and propensity...all of which are important, and yet there is more...
...Once you can live life from a state of consciousness that is centered in the heart chakra, all of the first three chakras become secondary and their energy is then used to open the higher levels of consciousness...
For example, the energy from chakra three for what began as mastery and prosperity is channeled to chakra five so you can speak the truth to help others see their way...
Chakra six is the third eye and the energy of chakra two is channeled here so you are now concerned with turning your vision inward to the truth within...
Like I said, this is really over simplified...(a lot)...
The point here is to show you the door to the heart chakra, Neo, is up to you to open the door.
Open your heart:
Pleasure and Pain
Another lesson of the heart to to learn that pleasure and pain are the
same energy...our souls seek both because it is the path to the higher
energies.There is nothing right or wrong about lower energies...we need them...they are part of the path and all of them have their lessons...when you transcend to live in the heart chakra...you learn that you need an open heart to "suffer with" or to experience compassion for the world and universe and all the people in it...
...the universe is perfect...suffering and pain are necessary for the journey....just as forgetting the truth of the path and the journey are necessary...
If you were aware of the "big lie" that our souls can't be hurt, there really is "no place to go", then you wouldn't take the lessons seriously and you would be....BORED!
There you have it...an entire universe of suffering...for what? Entertainment!!!! Re-creation...Why??? What else are you going to do for eternity???
Once you begin to live with your heart leading your way...the world will open to you like a flower...you will no longer struggle to think of others first, you will live to serve the highest good of all...
The whole universe sings to you..."FOLLOW YOUR HEART!!!"
