Take Heart

and by heart ❤️ I’m not pointing to our feelings or passions but rather wisdom, insight, and the seat of our spiritual perception…

seeing through our heart is to see in the darkness, to be drawn forward by an invisible thread, and to use our “total mind” what Judaism, Sufism, and the Eastern Orthodox lineage of Christianity calls the Heart

I used to fight between my need for logic, data, facts, the real truth, and my natural undeniable sense for something I couldn’t see with my eyes, touch, or measure.

experiences I was initially scared of, questioned, and even called “Creepy” 

whether you call it magic, creativity, or simply intuition, know that we don’t truly exist without it

take heart 

sense 

see 

connect

take heart 

don’t hold your breath; touch your yearning, invest your attention and embody the entirety of your aliveness- physical, emotional, and spiritual 

mysticism isn’t weird or special to me anymore it’s simply the way of the heart 

“We have subtle subconscious faculties we are not using. Beyond the limited analytic intellect is a vast realm of mind that includes psychic and extrasensory abilities; intuition; wisdom; a sense of unity; aesthetic, qualitative, and creative faculties; and image-forming and symbolic capacities. Though these faculties are many, we give them a single name with some justification, for they are working best when they are in concert. They comprise a mind, moreover, in spontaneous connection to the cosmic mind. This total mind we call ‘heart.’” 

—Kabir Helminski quoted in “The Way of the Heart,” by Cynthia Bourgeault
