Introduction to Deeperheart
The Heart The heart is beyond the mind and logic and is felt more deeply and strongly. -Norwood Unless a man is simple, he cannot recognize God. -Bengali Song Whomsoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. -St. Luke, xviii 17 The true reason underlying things is invisible, unseizable, idefinable, indeterminable. Only the spirit established in the state of perfect natural simplicity can attain it in profound contemplation. -Lieh-tse The soul assuming her real mode stands in her virgin innocence....God is doing all the work and the man of the soul is absolutely idle. -Eckhart Unto the pure all things are pure. Titus, i. 15 Our purity must be like that of the crystal. -Swami Ramdas The Philosophers warke doe not begin, Zen is to have the heart and soul of a little child. -Takuan The heart shapes who we are and what we will become. -Norwood
Meditation The purpose of meditation is to renew the heart. A strong heart brings peace and direction to the mind.To place the heart in charge, it is important to be able to control the mind.Instead of thoughts responding to thoughts, and accumulating into worry, one can stop the mind. If one sees their thoughts as clouds passing by in the sky, they can resist their constant calling.By chanting, the thoughts can be drowned out. Chanting forces the mind to release control and stop its endless chatter and music in the head. By watching one's breath, the body can be coaxed into relaxing. The Soul and the Brain The soul goes by many names. In psychology it is the self. It has been called the experiencer. What we experience is not experience directly. The eye translates light into impulses that are reassembled by the brain to provide a picture of what we see. The soul and the brain are mixed together like salt and water. This arrangement allows the soul to experience perceptions from many places in the brain. The main attribute of the soul is the feeling of being there, of being alive, a sense of I am. In addition to the physical needs of the body, the soul has desires of variety, affinity and wonder. The soul experiences itself in terms of pride and shame. It can get angry when it does not get what it wants. It can experience shame when it thinks it has made an error. Chakras or Energy Centers
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or vortex, and it refers to each of the seven energy centers within the body. For example, when one is angry, consciousness is focused in the solar plexus.

Everyone can talk to God Source will answer your questions. Be aware this happens through your filters. As you work on yourself, you connect at a higher level closer to God.
As Soul As souls meet, as their eyes greet each other, there is a moment where there is oneness, where there is a blending of hearts. This is the moment where across the room, eyes become wider and glisten. There is an alignment now, a circle of purity and love radiates in unknown but deeply felt ways. In this space it is as if one is part of another. The soul touches soul. Eyes glisten, a tear falls, and the heart rejoices.
Another source is the Center for Spiritual Living (also known as the Church of Religious Science) that teaches we are what we think. For the material world, I believe in real science proven by carefully controlled experiments. December 22, 2009 |

Consciousness is not only our experience, but also where it is centered. The centers of consciousness are called chakras.
