The Spiritual Heart, and Love as God/Spirit
When I speak about the Heart, about Love, automatically everyone’s first thought is relationships. Romance.
When I say “Love is the underpinning energy of all Life”, “Love is the frequency of All That Is”, often one’s thoughts or mind assume I might mean, because people must/(should) Love each other to reproduce, that creates Life, all that is, and that’s what I mean. It’s not.
Or because interpersonal relating is nice, and Love is nice, and wouldn’t it be nice if everything was nice, so Love is everything because lots of Love would be Nice.
That’s also not what I mean.
Maybe we still hold some sort of mechanistic view of the Heart as a pump, or a quaint idea of the Heart as something more.
I would love to take this opportunity to share with you what I mean when I say “Love is the Frequency of All That Is”, and how you can get touch with your Heart, the Heart as a perceptual organ, and how residing in the Heart, and processing through the Heart, will change everything for you; emotionally physically, and Spiritually.
“Love is the frequency of All That Is.” Lets discuss.
This is a non-dual understanding of Reality.
Love is not merely an emotion or moral virtue, but the very substance of existence itself. In this view, Love and God are not separate; Love is God, and God is the living intelligence expressing itself as all things. (you might not resonate with the word God, which is fine. Interchange with Source/The Divine/The Great Intelligence/The Creator/anything of your preference that alludes to this).
This aligns with many spiritual traditions; “God is Love” (Christian mysticism); Bhakti devotion where the Divine is pure loving presence; Sufism where love is the force that spins the cosmos; Advaita where all apparent separation dissolves into one reality - Love.
The fabric of your being, is the frequency of Love.
This is why Love is such a powerful healing frequency to cultivate in and through your own body and system, because it’s your original template.
The template upon which all of the vibrating particles coalesce and self-organise into the unique identities that we know as ourselves.
When we were born, our being was vibrating at the frequency of Love. Our hearts were wide open.
Over time, we take on programming, conditioning, and experiences - most of which we dont fully process - and our hearts become armoured and closed.
We create our own meaning from our experiences, and we hold residue from them in our nervous system; this crystallises in our mind to create our internal paradigms and belief systems.
We project those beliefs onto what we perceive. This creates ‘distortion’ in our expression, and in our experience.
Most of these beliefs are unconscious, but we can figure them out by paying attention to what Life is reflecting back at us.
What triggers us, what experiences loop and cycle for us, what thoughts keep us stuck, what paradigms did we absorb from childhood and are unconsciously being recreated, what thoughts do we repeatedly have about our experience, what could that be showing you about you?
Because we take on conditioning and programming, because don’t fully process our emotions, because we are conditioned into Western mechanistic, Newtonian and Euclidean linear ways of thinking and seeing, Life is reduced to an expression of mechanical forces with no intelligence or purpose, Nature becomes flat, and the linear organic computer of the brain becomes the only way our bodies generate thought - clouded of course by distortions of the mind that have accumulated through experiences of the World.
We no longer can feel our Hearts, we no longer feel our bodies as Love, and many of us experience Life only in the head, only from the neck up, and we don’t experience the ecstasy and beauty of residing in the heart whatsoever.
We fall into judgement, guilt, shame, frustration, stagnancy, and disconnection.
I believe, and teach, that one of the most profound ways to heal and move along your path of awakening, growing, and healing, and the key to generating a continually evolving experience is through getting back into the Heart.
Through using what Life is reflecting back at you to direct your intention, and process your experiences, through the Heart. Through bringing your body back into the coherent frequency of Love, to dramatically change your internal processing system, and the Life that is generated from your Being, as a result.
The Heart is an organ of perception. It is an ancient mode of cognition and thought.
The Heart has it’s own nervous system, that communicates with the brain MORE than the brain communicates with the Heart. The Heart possesses its own intrinsic nervous system, often called the “heart brain.” This is not metaphorical.
The heart contains 40,000 neurons (sensory neurons, interneurons, motor neurons), known as the intrinsic cardiac nervous system. It can sense, learn, remember, and make functional decisions independently of the brain. The heart perceives and creates meaning before the brain does - it biases thought.
Experiments show that even when neural communication with the brain is severed, the heart can still regulate rhythm and adapt to circumstances.
The Heart creates electromagnetic fields that other people can feel, that we silently communicate with each other through. The Heart is the primary generator of the Human Biofield.
The modern worlds belated (and very mild) recognition that the Heart is an organ of perception is not new.
By locating our consciousness in only one biological oscillator, the brain, we blinded ourselves to perceptions that have been common to human beings since the dawn of time.
The Ancient Greeks had a word for the Hearts ability to perceive meaning from the World: aisthesis. In Aristotelian psychology, the organ of aisthesis is the Heart; passages from all the sense organs run to it; there, in the Heart, the soul is ‘set on fire’.
It means ‘to breathe in.’ The Heart Breathes in the Soul Essence of Everything.
“Scientists have stolen from all of us the historical recognition of the Heart as an organ of perception, and substituted instead a mechanical heart and the belief that only their brain is capable of thought. The colonisation of the soul has had profound repercussions.”
-Stephen Harrod Buhner
When we perceive through the Heart, we perceive the soul essence in everything, we can perceive the awe, beauty, and wander of Nature, we are in tune with our feelings, our inner knowing and intuition. We can feel the flow of life force, imbued with communications, moving between living organisms. We can feel the ecstasy of our Hearts opening, we move from judgement, fear, and blame, into responsibility, creator consciousness, and generate opportunity and evolution in our Life experience. We can take in the soulful communications that arise from the living phenomena in the world.
The perceptions of the world that occur only through the brain are coloured by the organ. The linearity of the brain can only perceive the exterior world in a linear fashion, as a collection of eternally situated, Euclidean objects.
As we bring perception and awareness down into the Heart, we perceive beauty, awe, and magic. We can breathe in the souls of everything, and have our own souls perceived and experienced by another. We perceive the intelligence that underpins everything, we expand beyond the mind, we begin to vibrate at the frequency of Love.
Often we must process that which armours the Heart in order to begin to take residence there. Getting in touch with the Heart allows us to process our unprocessed emotion, dissolving distortion of the mind and expanding our capacity for experience.
What happens as we process our pain, what happens as we bring these incoherent frequencies of fear and shame and guilt into coherence? What happens when we begin to move heavy residue of past experience from our system?
Life is a reflection of what we still carry.
So if we still carry pain and trauma and certain beliefs about ourselves and what we can achieve and who we are and what we deserve and what we can become (often unconscious), we will attract situations, people, and experiences into our Lives that affirms exactly that. Hence a great deal of initial healing work can be done just by looking at what Life is reflecting.
Once we do take responsibility for this, once we begin to process through the Heart, once we bring our system into coherence with Love, our entire experience changes.
Our entire expression evolves.
Our Life evolves.
The depth we are able to ‘reach’ in Spiritual practice deepens profoundly, because LOVE is GOD. Love is the cosmos. We can have beautiful, paradigm-shifting experiences through the Heart.
We don’t need those reflections anymore, because we have learned from them. We don’t need the same triggers to be teachers, because what those triggers were showing us, has been processed.
So our outer experience shifts and we begin to create momentum.
The current of Life begins to bring us experiences that more closely reflect the true nature of our Hearts, experiences that reflect the newly liberated Love in the body, opportunities that fulfil the deepest desires of our Souls journey here.
People that reflected old distortions and unhealthy ways of relating fade away. Those that reflect deep Love, remain.
Our experiences of interpersonal relating reach new depths of beauty, safety, security and Healing.
Our capacity for Love and Joy expands.
We get to experience the richness and beauty of Life because we can finally perceive it.
We don’t need to seek out our ‘purpose’. We don’t need to try to figure it out, Life is guiding us there all the time.
We just need to pay attention.
We need to pay attention and we need to reside in the Heart.
We need to pay attention, reside in the Heart, and come into resonance with Love.
Because Love is All That Is.
