5-18. Much of what your mind perceived as real never was. All that your heart truly saw as Real will forever be True. In the crystalline purity of your heart, no ignorance of the Truth of Love can ever dwell.
Everything that is understood through the processes of perception is referential - never direct or objective in any manner that has universal applicability, for there must always be the observer and the observed - never the amalgam of Unity and individual observance that is the vantage point of the Mind of God. Your heart is not at this. Being not truly of this world in the sense that your heart has always retained that which is of God as a Memory that cannot be forgotten, your heart remains the singular source of all direct knowledge of the Truth of Love within the world of form, for it is a channel that may be obscured or ignored, but never broken. Your mind is not as this simply because it is fully predicated upon what it is that you desire to see, rather than merely providing information through the senses for evaluation within a matrix of contemplation that has no reference to prior events. A mind that does actually see everything as it is, without any flavoring or influence from what occurred before, would be a mind of absolute purity and one in a complete state of non-judgmental awareness, but that is a rare event indeed within the world of form, for obtaining such a liminal space of undifferentiated awareness requires setting aside all that was learned previously, and very few of the now incarnate Children of God are genuinely interested in all of the preparation and stoic determination that is required to arrive at such a state of absolutely open awareness, absent any desire to know what it is that is being perceived. This is the original Mind of God, and it is accessible at all times, but it is not always as useful as it might appear to be, for it is not a mind that allows for growth directly, simply because all self-referential frameworks have been removed, and so there is but an endless vista of infinite Peace to be enjoyed. That is certainly the final culmination of all that it appears that struggle must be, for within the release of all beliefs in limitations, there is the upwelling of a level of Certainty regarding the Truth of Love that transcends all prior conceptualizations, allowing for All That Is to be accepted just as It Is, and there is nothing more to do from that point, for all expansion is complete and all knowledge is available. What then are the processes and structures that are to be followed or entered into that will allow you to arrive at the very end of your journey back to God, a space from which no further progress has any rational definition at all, for you will become able to enter into a state of Grace so profound that you will understand All That Is, and you will no longer believe that you were ever distanced from God in any way at all? All of these educational apparatuses of the world of form and all that is to come after its utility has ceased for you are Guided by your heart - never within the ambit of your mind alone, for all that is of perception, at least as far as it can carry you within a schema of awareness that requires points of reference for the interpretation of their implications - must always be limited to the mode of contemplation that you desire to employ to interpolate between what it is that you believe you are being presented with and all of the past data sets that scurry about in your mind, holding up explanations when in Truth, no such evidentiary offerings are actually necessary. The heart is to be trusted on a level that is inapplicable to the mind, for while a mind can become corrupted by all that it perceives, the heart is not capable of being so infested with incorrect belief structures that it becomes unduly influenced and then forgetful of its purpose. The only utility of your heart is for it to provide to your Awakening mind all of the Guidance that you will ever require to find that you are not so much walking upon a Path back to God, but rather than you are already Home, and that all that you perceive as being a journey is but a process of introspection, one that enables you to shed yet another layer of beliefs about your own True Nature that are equal parts ineffective and incorrect. The heart knows what it is that you are, in Truth, in a way that cannot be confused by all of the utterances of the mind that are so very fraught with the reflections of what this world of form has taught you, including some of which that may have been quite accurate, and others which may have been quite misdirective indeed. Reality is not quite as objective as the rational mind might have you believe. Certainly there are certain sets of physical “laws” which allow for the Creation and sustainment of a system of organization of the physical universe that are necessary, for if gravity were to falter or light to stop carrying its minuscule amount of potential energy, many of the other structures that assist for the maintenance of a stable material universe would be affected in a manner that would make a life lived in form deeply chaotic, and that is not at all beneficial for any Child of God who is desirous of finding the way to release all that they believe to be restrictive regarding this world or any other. When chaos rules the mind, insanity ensues. When chaos rules the universe, abject unpredictability is rampant, and the assembly of ever more complex physical structures becomes increasingly improbable. Your heart is not affected by any of this simply because your heart retains a connection to the Love of God that cannot be severed, and so it is applicable to absolutely everything that occurs, without any regard for your perceptions about what it is that has transpired, for all can be used in the interests of assisting with your process of expanding so far that all notions of littleness and irrelevance finally dissipate into the mists of doubt, within which the ego desires to cloak itself away from the Light, as if hiding will stop the eventually disassembly of the ego’s perceptions that must occur before overwhelming Peace is Remembered throughout all of your being. That which is Real is also Love. That is which is temporary is everything that is not Love. Love is not physical, and so all that is physical is not Love. Physical processes can assist with the practical regimens that you employ to learn of what it will be for you to transcend all attachments to form, but they are not capable of containing their own liberation, for that is a contradiction that has no conclusion. Love transcends all limits, for it is ever present and universally applicable to all that occurs. Your mind does not always understand what that might imply for any particular moment of existence. Your heart always will. As such, there is but one way to dive through all of the accoutrements of banality that attempt to hold you in a coveting state, aligning you with materiality so that you will be distracted from your destiny and your Glory within the Awakening that alters everything that you perceive, serving the interests of God and yourself equally and completely. That way leads through your heart, allowing all that is Love to be your Guide, so that you are no longer distracted by all that is temporary and, at its final conclusion, utterly irrelevant to your final arrival, finding yourself back exactly where you started so very long ago when you dreamed that it might be possible to be separated from God. Reality is far simpler than this world of form, yet equally it is infinitely more expansive than any physical universe, no matter how very enormous this one most certainly was Created to be. Perceptions of reality can become hopelessly distorted and incorrectly understood, but no such affliction of attachment can endanger your heart. Trust in the Guidance that is always certain, although it is frequently not present at all times, simply because not every moment of time expended within the material plane is necessarily the most advantageous to teach you of your True Nature. You will know when you are being lead. You will not have any doubt in your heart, although your mind may waiver quite a bit. That is of no consequence at all. Elect to follow your heart, no matter how outrageous its directions might be, for you can be assured that your heart will always know the Way to go Home to God, even if to your mind, such elections seem either foolhearty or simply useless. Much of learning is tangential to prior experience, oftentimes executed in processes that involve releasing all that was previously held out to be sacrosanct and unquestionable, for all that is the agglomerated mental muck that attempts to define you as anything other than a radiant and perfect Child of God, and it is inevitably incorrect. Trust that your heart knows you as you Are, and not as you wish to believe yourself to be. These two fixations cannot be reconciled, for one is correct and the other is an error of perception. Choose to be shown your True Nature, and you will find - when you time of learning has fully concluded - that no difference between yourself and Love has ever existed in any manner at all.
