Sacred Love - At the Heart of Love - the Most Powerful Love Grows from this
By: Christopher Walker
We speak of the heart as if it were a spongy weak mushy place that opens at movies, dribbles that tear down your cheek at the worst of moments, and makes us so vulnerable. And so it might be. But the heart is, without doubt, the most powerful human centre that can exist. All humanitarian power comes from the human heart - all compassion, motivation, consideration and inspired leadership. This is the experience we have in the presence of a powerful individual, a leader, performer or lover. An open heart is the greatest power any human can contain within their body. It is the true meeting place of heaven and earth. The symbol of the crucifixion, a vertical line reaching to heaven, the vertical line below going to earth, and our arms outstretched β good and evil.
Will power is what makes the difference between our ability to feel an emotion (which is honesty), and act on an emotion (which is foolishness). It is human nature to have all kinds of emotional reactions to the world around us; these are simultaneously the human illusion, and precisely the traits that make us human. The experiencing of emotions over the whole spectrum of existence is what makes us whole, just as a musical piece is composed using the whole set of piano keys, not just one. The joy of life is experiencing emotions, but the suffering of life is to act, or legitimise them.
The will of the human heart is an unbridled experience of doing something that you love, rather than something that loves you. Then you bring this choice making awareness into all facets of your life, wisely, and without compromise. Will is the heart choosing long-term benefit over short-term emotional expression.
