Relating through Mind and Heart


It seems difficult to “return” to the world, to where we were before, once we know, once we’ve moved on and are somewhere else. But that is always our testing ground.

Knowledge without the heart is barren. It can’t give forth its fruits, it’s of no use. You need the inclusiveness of the heart to embrace all, to have compassion for all, to have empathy, understanding of the other’s true needs, to forgive all and to be in unity with diversity. Only then can knowledge combine with the heart and share the light on perception that will contribute and be truly useful for those who are willing to receive it.

We keep “returning to the world”, to shed all inner limitations and illusions, to open our heart fully till it blossoms and thus, without judgement, by simply observing and feeling the pain (without making it your own), you are free to give and receive.

The mind’s walls


Based on and believing the surface, dense mind, we are accustomed to seeing walls and assume they naturally exist within as well as without us. Assuming they are real, we paint them, dress them or bring them down, building new ones in their place, because we have never imagined a life without them.  We thus give all our attention, placing our energy on our seeming reality. This focused perception keeps us in isolated structures.

The walls are made of our belief systems, which form structures that we are too afraid to get out of. How do we tear down the whole wall structure at once, without needing to discover and recover every single brick that we used to put it together in the first place?

It is possible.

The purpose


This is a space created for everyone who is ready to accept the responsibility of their own life and what they are creating. It is meant to offer guidance and practical steps, not just theory or inapplicable information that we usually like reading, but pass by, unchanged and untouched by it.

The articles contributed here are meant to offer an alternative view, one the surface mind will not provide. Nevertheless, to make the most of the information found here and to really change our lives, we need to commit to everyday practices that enhance our perception, change our point of view and offer us new possibilities that we cannot access while being caught in the limited perception we have.
