4-35. The Love that God holds for you can not be known as all knowledge is but abstractions of abstractions, ad infinitum. Open your heart and the Light of Love will shine forth with perfect clarity.
Hundreds of years ago, the Age of Reason helped to usher in a revolutionary sea change in general consciousness, vaulting rationality above faith and ascribing the highest of pursuits to those associated with intellectual inquiry and philosophical ponderings. This was not without benefit, for the assignment of loyalty to a priestly caste that promulgated religious edicts without any justification was hardly the greatest expression of the positivity that a healthy society can inspire in its congregants. Yet something was lost in this upheaval, at least for those participants that eschewed all of the immaterialities of spiritual certainty that are afforded those who continue to believe that it is possible - for indeed, it most certainly is - to be granted useful guidance simply through trusting what is known in common parlance as a “gut feeling”. Perhaps it is useful indeed that the instinct is assigned to the center of the body, for that is a turning point of the energetic meridians that flow through all that lives. A life lived purely in the “headspace” of logical inquiry is scarcely one that can be presented to another as a balanced as wholesome existence, for while the power of rationality to uncover the mechanistic integrals of the material universe are potent indeed, they do not represent the summary totality of all that there is to know of the world of form. Such pursuits abscond with the mind, rippling it rifely with revelations of materialistic utility, all of which are useful but not salutatory of the heart. There is a level of integration that is possible, fusing that which is of the mind of mechanical inquiry with the heart-centric certainty of which the poets wax fondly, but it is not for the faint of heart. It is an error of misperception to exclude one to the veneration of the other, for both have value and neither is directly oppositional to the other. Yet they are not always and easily complementary, for when one is considered to be the ultimate path, all else that is of Creation is set aside in favor of a singular contemplation. Yet God is not as this. God does not occupy simply the Mind of God as the omniscient Observer of everything that occurs. God is equally Present with the Heart of God, a liminal and infinite space that is the Source of Love and the final resolution of all beliefs in unworthiness in any manner that they might be expressed. A more appropriate Path is one that seeks to integrate the powers of rational contemplation with the wildly untameable surety of the heart, so that inspiration can be the guiding Light and the mind employed to provide the necessary framework for understanding what is being offered, and how it might be best to effect the directives of the heart. There comes a time when intellectual learning and rigorous quantification of all of the effects of this world of form fail to capture the pure wonderment of the natural world, with particular emphasis on the feelings of limitlessness and energetic potentiality that directly engaging with the spirit can cause in the heart of one who is awakening to their own Light. Derision of logic is meaningless, for certainty there are structures of rationality and rules of engagement that govern the base substrate of the material universe - lacking such organizing principles, chaos would reign and complex structures would be nearly impossible to assemble. This is a reflection of the Mind of God - able to perceive All That Is and to apply order to chaos so that the material universe can be a place of sufficient stability to allow for the natural evolution of the expressions of universal consciousness to progress through all of the forms that are best for them to experience as they grow towards a final reunification with Creation. But that is not where the ambit of God ceases, for there is a twin aspect to organized perception that is wholly ephemeral and undilutable by any manner of evaluation that is applied to its fuzzy core of creativity. The Heart of God is untamed and free. Your heart is as this as well - capable of alighting from anything at all, so that you can be freed from whatever you believe to be restrictive at any time, simply by electing to accept that it is possible for you to be just as unlimited and eternal as God. Yet it is not knowledge that will carry you beyond the gates of your own heart, for rationality and subjectivity must be cast aside if you are to transform the linear experience of the material universe into the stochastic unknown that is a complete surrender to your heart’s guidance. No rules can be set against that which is eternally free, for there is an infinitude of experience to be reveled within, and your continuing desire to describe what this process will involve for you serves only to prevent you from sinking ever deeper into the unknown wilderness that is your own heart’s unlimited potentiality. Knowledge, as it is understood in this world, is an abstraction of an abstraction. It is a coalescing of past experiences as representative waymarks, partially divided and reconstituted as guideposts of temporary alignment, so that new information can be assimilated and then digested, becoming another singularity of personal perception - never universal in scope, for if it were to be as such, no direct observer would remain. All that is of learning, within this world, is personal. It is filtered through enormous amounts of past experience, flavored by prior judgments and integrated within a larger schema that is inherently biased towards a set of beliefs that are often formulated with no rational consideration of their origin. Yet the heart is not as this. The certainty and clarity of the heart does not alter, no matter what the mind may have set itself upon as its final resolution of all of the “mysteries” of life. The heart retains its Connection to God, no matter what occurs, for the heart is the gateway of the soul, quite literally an ouroborus of infinite recursion, in a manner that is not to be understood with any form of rational contemplation. To transform experience into Experience, absolute trust must be accepted. You are already possessed of just such a level of Faith, yet it may be very unfamiliar, as it is rarely remembered past infancy. Baring horrific initial life circumstances, most babes in their parent’s arms are innately trusting of their caregiver’s intentionality. They are not reticent to trust that they will be safe, for they have just arrived here from a place of absolute purity, and so they have no reason to believe that they will be treated otherwise upon their emergence in the physical plane. This level of unquestioning trust must be applied to your own heart, and damn the consequences of what you may uncover. No matter the fear, you must do it anyway, if you wish to translate your moderated awareness from one that seeks explanations first and justifications later into one that quite literally leaps before it looks. You will be casting your own awareness centerwardly and inwardly, away from your headspace and towards your heartspace, realigning your most base levels of observation from kneejerk reactivity towards acceptance - both of your own innate value, and of the purity of Love that is the Heart of God. There will be much that you will Experience. Perhaps very little of it will be directly translatable into language that any other Child of God could possibly hope to understand. That is not relevant to your own journey. That which is to be uncovered is your uniqueness within All That Is. That is not a journey that is undertaken in partiality or with any reservations about what it might be that you will uncover. As such, bravery in the face of revelation and courage in the midst of release of all that is believed to be restrictive of your True Nature are necessary. Yet you are already possessed of all of the resources and constitutionality that you will need to complete this Path of Light. At the end, which is equally the onset of all that is yet to come, you will begin to understand why time is experienced in a linear manner, and equally why such a perception is not limiting to the nature of that which is Infinite. Beyond that, no more can be said, for each is tasked with walking Home to God in their own way, and while your Guidance is Certain, your Path may appear winding indeed. Fear not, Child of God - you cannot fail in this, for because you have been asked by God to Return, you will - exactly when you are ready to Experience what it is to be Loved beyond all limits.
