Getting into the Heart of the Matter. Getting into the Heart of Matter.
The doorway into the Heart is through the dimension of feelings. This I have said before many times elsewhere on this site. The thoughts—arising in the human mind—and the emotions—arising in ones astral field which is essentially another aspect of the human mental body/mind—lead me to my true feelings.
They will, however, only play this role if I cease to give them so much importance and perceived purpose. The degree to which I place value in my thoughts and emotions is the degree to which they will distract me from their only real purpose.
That real purpose is to lead me into the Heart. Into the deeper dimension of the Inner Heart—to where the level of pure feeling (FEALING) exists. Go a step deeper than that and we arrive at a place that is deeply within, yet also beyond, the general field of human experience—beyond the human story / dream. It is from that “place” that Miracles arise into this perceived world.
To deny thought and to deny emotion is to deny oneself. Yet to fixate on emotions and on thoughts is also to deny oneself—for it is fixating ones attention on that which ultimately does not exist and is not real. It is simply another part of the story. To try and control thought is to fixate on thought. To try and control emotions is to fixate on emotions. Both acts are an avoidance of ones True Self. Both are a distraction. Yet, of course, to engage is that is perfectly okay if that’s what you choose to do. It’s only a story afterall. It can NOT ever change who and what you truely are in the eyes of God / Truth / Love.
Many thoughts arise from the collective. From the environment. From other people in ones vacinity and beyond. Yet, this “world” or this “other” that I talk about is not seperate from Self—it is another aspect of YOUR story… my story.
To take thoughts and feelings personally is unwise—althought perfectly okay is that’s what you choose to do. There is nothing personal about thoughts and feelings… althought of course such thoughts and emotions are the product of what I have come to know as my “personality”—yet this is not Self. It will, however, lead to Self.
Personality is a projection of my story and the collective story out into my field of awareness. The two stories are inseperable—until such time as one has reached deeply into the Heart of (the) Matter. Through feeling with full awareness.
Awareness actually exists on both sides of the gateway. Feelings reside on this side of the threshold. “This” behind the general sphere of human experience / expression. Awareness is on both sides of that threshold—for awareness in fact permeates it all. Hence, to surrender deeply into my feelings with total unwavering awareness is to surrender deeply into the Heart of (the) Matter—any matter. Matter as in the physical stuff of the world—and matter as in “what’s the matter?”.
Awareness is what will carry you through.
So long as all this is only a head trip then it’s all a bunch of shit. Meaningless. Hopeless.
So how does it feel to you?
Like a head trip?
If so, then that’s simply how your story is permitting you to receive what you have read. That’s okay—if you allow it to be.
Changing the Dream is about transforming what comes accross as an intellectual head-trip into a deep inner experience.
Then, and only then, does deep lasting Peace arise. In that Peace there is so much Love. Not that Love exists in varying degrees. Perhaps I could say that in that Peace—when penetrated and embodied—there is a very full experience of Love. That Love naturally extends into the world and brings about Trans-form-ation.
With love and respect,
Jonathan
P.S. I don’t expect that the above will make a lot of sense to most. Although perhaps it will. What I do know is that the ego-mind can only read non-sense in what I have written here. Hence, I invite you to experience/read what is written here through your feelings rather than through your thoughts and/or emotions. Give it a go. Sit with it. See how it feels. Deep deep inside—if you’ll allow yourself to go there for a moment.
