Introduction to Deeperheart
Introduction to DeeperHeart/Mind Deepermind and Deeperheart are easiest for the modern person who seeks the truth, looks to every culture, and is not impressed by mere dogmatic beliefs. The basic idea is that meaning is real and words are only pointers. It takes words to communicate meaning, but the same meaning can be expressed in different languages. The reference used in these websites is the belief that God is love and the source of all truth. The materialistic world is God's perfect Bible which is read through scientific research. The non-materialist world is the world we experience and includes feelings, emotions, thoughts, sensory inputs and spiritual insight. When we hold false beliefs and associated negative feelings we generate discord, disharmony and disease in our lives. We we hold true beliefs and positive feelings tend to we experience our true perfection. In many ways we are as we think. Our thoughts effect how we perceive ourselves and others, which we expect to happen in the future, and what we decide to do in the present. In order for this to work, we are bracketed by what is true. Obviously we cannot think we are bird and fly, but we can think about being a greater person and achieve this goal. The Heart Long ago the heartbeat was proof be believing alive, and thus our true being lived in the chest. Now the heart has a deeper meaning. When a person loves another, the love pours from the heart. The heart therefore is the source of love. Since God is love, love pours from God. Thus when we love, God flows though us. Consciousness Consciousness is that property that enables awareness and allows us to experience life. It is a recursive loop that we are aware of awareness itself. It can be symbolized by a sheet that loops back on itself. How Love and Awareness Work Take a sheet of paper and roll it so that the top and the bottom touch. Note that only the top and bottom touch. The sides of the paper do not touch. Therefore the sides are part of the hidden self were awareness is not present. We someone loves us, they are like a second sheet of paper that is at a different angle than our sheet of paper. The love of another wraps up our inner awareness with a second awareness that makes us more complete. This forms a package and our love does not leak out the sides, making us feel lonely and incomplete. We allow ourselves to be wrapped when we like this second wrapper; when the wrapper is positive and gives us a feeling of completeness. God Wraps Us with Love When we are in communion God, we feel simply wrapped in His arms. Our mind, that part of us that calculates and thinks its way to solution is not necessary. We can chant to drown it out. We can do rituals to still the mind. We can become simple. Unless a man is simple, he cannot recognize God. -Bengali Song A baby's simple smile warms the heart. When we are not thinking but experiencing as a child, we can experience our heart in action. Whomsoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. -St. Luke, xviii 17 Letting go, stop thinking are important steps to spiritual growth as it is difficult to think about the heart in abstract terms. The true reason underlying things is invisible, unseizable, indefinable, indeterminable. Only the spirit established in the state of perfect natural simplicity can attain it in profound contemplation. -Lieh-tse If we let go, and let God pour His love into our hearts, the music plays. 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 Purity If we were to know, in everything there is only one truth. Two plus two is four is one thing; all else is a lie. There is only one God, one love, one source of goodness. When we believe in conflicting truths, when we break ourselves into different personalities, when we make mistakes, when we do harmful things, its multiplicity and more than the one thing. Unto the pure all things are pure. Titus, i. 15 A crystal is symmetrical; it has balance and order. With purity we find that things come together in our lives. Our purity must be like that of the crystal. -Swami Ramdas Philosophy can be so confusing. Often philosophy treats everything as relative and it seems that one idea is as good as another The Philosophers warke doe not begin, In Zen Meditation, the calculating mind is turned off and the heart is exposed as if we were young again. Zen is to have the heart and soul of a little child. -Takuan 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
The chakras may or may not actually be present in the physical sense, but using the imagination can sometimes serve us well. 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.
1. ROOT (muladhara) Physical Location: Anal Region 2. SACRAL (svadhisthana) Physical Location: ovaries or testicles, bladder 3. SOLAR PLEXUS (manipura) Physical Location: digestive tract 4. HEART (anahata) Physical Location: heart 5. THROAT (visuddha) Physical Manifestations: mouth, neck, shoulders 6. THIRD EYE (ajna) Physical Location: between the eyes, pituitary gland 7. CROWN (sahasrara) Physical Location: top of head Talking with God
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. A different, but similar philosophy is that of Esther Hicks who claims to channel information from a group of non-physical beings she calls Abraham. Another source is the Center for Spiritual Living (aka the Church of Religious Science) which believes much of what I believe in except that I do not believe in power of prayer as they do. I believe you can pray with someone, but to pray without their knowledge seems unlikely that it works. Praying for physical things I also think does not work. But praying for inspiration, answers to questions, and closeness to God does work. Healing the body by the mind alone only work for psychosomatic problems which are very common and part of most ailments. By sending love to each part of the body, we can help the body heal itself. Religion is always an organization of people, and people make mistakes. I believe that the more we learn, explore and help others the more we can find peace and love, and this works the other way round too. May 25, 2011 |

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