Heart – Engaging Your Power

By Andrea Saab

Insights/Distinctions: A fundamental truth about this five sense experience

is that we get to experience our separateness and our connectedness!
Interestingly, what separates us is very little. We are truly here to give love
and receive love – perhaps that is the essence of creating “heaven on
earth”!
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone
deeply gives you courage." –Lao Tzu

The Adventure Begins Within

Joe Vitale writes in his book Zero Limits - "The purpose of life is to be
restored back to love, moment to moment."
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who
looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”Carl Jung

Standing in Love
Stephanie Austin, professional astrologer, summarizes – “The Uranus
opposition to Saturn that has been in progress from Fall 2008 to continue
into July 2010 is presenting us with choices – democracy versus
hierarchy, standing in love instead of collapsing in fear, waking up instead
of staying asleep.”

This era is bringing about change and new ideas to evolve and transform,
resulting in tremendous resistance and fear and a longing for the past.
Notice that this opposition has been concurrent with a recession of historic
proportions – talk about being in the midst of a major breakdown. So are
we going to resist with fear or be open minded and explore possibilities
and opportunity?
While a breakdown of any kind can be frightening on the surface, it is
simply a deconstruction of what exists in order to clear the path for new
creation. The key is to be able to remain in the creative flow rather than
getting stopped by fear particularly with events that are a long time
unfolding.

Seeing From a Mile High

David Icke illustrates this by saying, “Heart – Sees the river from source to
sea; Mind/Body – Sees the next bend.”

Heart and mind work hand in glove to provide a different dimension to our
experience just as love and fear do. Fear has its place as a very useful tool
- as a way to mobilize tremendous energy. However, when we are in fear
we cannot creatively guide and direct that energy. So a way back into the
creative flow is by engaging heart intelligence – when we act through the
head we do so seeing differentiation in the world around us which leads us
towards separation.

Knowing What To Do
David Icke reminds us, “If people come from the heart they will know what
to do – come from the head and there will be a long list of why it can’t
work – heart domination for consciousness instead of mind domination.
Stay awake. Follow the path of Love, and the Universe will open its path to
take you to safety. Just open your heart and listen to where it points.”

Law of Attraction
Here is one of the most valuable distinctions that I have uncovered to date
based on an ancient problem solving art from the Hawaiian culture called
Ho’oponopno based on work by Dr. Hew Len as summarized by Joe Vitale
– “Inspiration is more important than intention. Intention is a toy of the
mind; inspiration is a directive from the Divine (his favorite term for source
or God or oneness). At some point you'll surrender and start listening,
rather than begging and waiting. Intention is trying to control life based on
the limited view of the ego; inspiration is receiving a message from the
Divine and then acting on it. Intention works and brings results; inspiration
works and brings miracles. Which do you prefer?”

Interconnectedness
Here is a fascinating discussion from Intelligent Infinity – The Awakening
Project, “What lets us know we are on the correct path and working most
effectively with the nature of soul evolution? Well, to answer this you must
ask the source of your manifestation, not your brain. It is the pinprick
access point to zero point energy within all of us - our heart. Love is the
ultimate key. If you wish to develop your meta human abilities and further
your evolution you must start with an open heart. This is easy to see even
from behind the veil. As I mentioned in the beginning, evolution is an
ecosystem. That inherently means that all the levels are dependent on one
another to survive and thrive. The levels feed off of each other and when
honor and love are shared with all, balance is strong, and evolution is
advanced through life. Love is the primary factor in raising new life.
Through love, compassion and acceptance of each other as a part of this
interconnectedness within the web of life, we find inner peace in our
unboundlessness. Children, new life, would die without love. Our hearts
are needed more, to further life, than any logical activity of the brain. The
brain is only good at comparing similarities and differences, while the
heart, and love, shows the way back into unity and the inherent oneness of
all things.”

Courage and Power

These three treasures I guard, [love], [contentment], and [humility]. As Lao
Tzu notes, only the loving can be courageous, only those who are content
can be magnanimous, and only the humble have the authority from
Universe to lead.
Bill Birnes speaks of Admiral
George Hoover – “He said that the biggest secret is the fact that we human
beings are more powerful than we have ever dreamed that we are. That is
the biggest secret. We don’t know our own power.”

Quick Tip: To quickly and simply shift to heart domination, imagine

breathing through your heart, and imagine that your heart energy radiates
in a large circle around you - that you are breathing into the web of
connectedness! Here's to appreciating each and every breath!
