I Am the Heart
the fruit of my
contemplations
page 3
Mind... when you visit a place within your imaginings that you call the
future, what can you show for your efforts upon return? Look at your hands,
they are empty. But are they? They tremble. Are you carrying something heavy?
How painful it would be to know one's future. How painful to know of future
sorrow. How equally painful to know of future joy. Since the present already
contains enough concerns of the day, how would you stand a pain that would
intensify from a desire to obtain a long awaited blessing. If you could truly
wait in peace for such things, then I would not be here with you talking as I
do. So then, would you deliberately wish such a thing upon yourself? Softly I
hear you say “No”. Then take my hand and let us rest a while in the
warm sun. I am the Heart and I always speak the
Truth.
Mind... you cannot look into the unknown as I can. Your vision is stored in
dead books of the past, but my vision is alive, and in each instant there is
guidance in new directions linked to Love. For far too long, You have put aside
my vision of courage and daring for your vision of safety. Do not continue to
inhibit your growth by giving in relentlessly to ways which will bring sorrow.
Together we will work to build a new life I am the
Heart and I always speak the Truth.
Mind... there is much work to be done and I borrow some words from a very
learned and loving script. “No matter how hard the task, one should never
lose courage. Courage is the key to success. To lose Heart is to lose
everything.”
Do not yield to despondency which is unworthy and dishonouring of your true
nature. When you become enveloped in doubt, come to me. Can you expect a new
life without any effort on your part? Can a worker expect an honourable wage if
he has been idle? Are you willing to prepare the field for the harvest you
expect? Dreams of happiness and contentment will simply remain dreams if no
action arises out of the inspiration. Since dreams of worth are implanted like
a seed, (a gift no less), it is up to the individual to bring the dream forth
into reality through effort and concentration. The substance of dreams is
itself flimsy and vulnerable, but the reality of a fulfilled dream can only go
on to inspire ever greater achievements. There is always invisible assistance
at your disposal, for faith is a magnet that will draw energy for your efforts,
and grace you with amazing events to unblock obstacles and give you many clear
understandings.
But I hear you say, “Faith! Yes, I believe in God.” But tell me,
do you believe in what God can do? I sense the birth of a million answers to
the single question I have put before you, but don't be concerned too much by
them though. It is your nature to learn. It is your duty to seek life's
questions as well as life's answers. However, should you find difficulty with
the question of believing, then start by believing in yourself. Believe in your
own goodness. Believe in the quality of your longing to want a good life.
Are not your fondest dreams worthy of high appraisal?
Would the simple and good things you truly seek out of life bring disarray
to yourself or anyone else?
