Subject: The Mind and the Heart
It is true that All is Mind, Divine Mind. There is nothing "outside"
or "other than" the One Mind. Mind as described in as the
activating agent of Spirit, and Mind and Spirit are One. The sleeping
mind seems to have forgotten its Reality as Divine Mind. The sleeping
mind believes it is "in" matter or flesh, it seems to have two parts,
and it seems to be mortal or finite. As such, it seems to need to
answer a wakeup Call or to "open its heart" and accept itself as
Changelessly Eternal Mind. The heart, as I use the term, is
synonymous with desire, or the altar of the mind. When the altar
seems to be defiled or to contain something "other than" Love, the
mind is closed to Love, closed to the experience of Itself as Divine
Mind. To open the heart is to forgive or to look past the defiled
altar with the Spirit to the Light within, and to see the
Innocent, Radiant Perfection of Oneness. A
Pure Heart and Divine Mind are the Same, for a clean and open altar
allows the Light of the One to radiate and extend naturally. Such is
Divine Mind. Such is Creation. Such is Purity of Heart.
Head/heart, thinking/feeling, intellect/emotion distinctions are
artificial ego constructs, for they still imply duality. Feelings do
indeed arise from whatever thought system the mind aligns with, Oneness
or ego, love or fear, for in a symbolic sense (as if the separation
had really occurred) there are but these two emotions. Opening the
heart to Correction (purity), desiring AtOneMent above all else, and
desiring Only Love are all ways of describing the Gateway to the
Remembrance of Oneness. Love is a Thought in the Mind of God. Love is
the Feeling of Perfect Love in Oneness.
In truth there is no duality, no Mind/Heart split.
Mind is All in All. An open Heart knows ItSelf as Mind, as One.
There is no duality in One Mind, for Love has no opposite. This
is the meaning of "Perfect Love casts out fear." Only Love remains
Eternally Changeless. It is also the meaning of "Nothing real can be
threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the Peace of God."
Thank you for your devotion to Awakening, for opening your heart to
the One. I love you very dearly and forever.
Peace & Blessings,
David
