Meditational Musings

 'When the heart thinks, and the mind feels, the river of wisdom will flow.' -original source unknown | I heard it from polymath Robert Edward Grant a few times and it's been tugging about my mind ever since. I remember one of my teachers talking about how she and some of her friends were practicing with feeling their heart-space expand or contract based on what they were thinking about. I believe she said they were practicing it based on what options they had in front of them, as in 'do this, expand or contract? do this? feel for expand or contract'. That sort of thing. Perhaps that is what is being spoken about in the quote. The sensation of the expansion or contraction within the chest would be the heart 'thinking' - offering its version of thoughts on the given option.  The mind would then be the one 'feeling' the sensation of it, in how it perceives the information being offered by the heart. This sounds to me like how inspiration has been descr...

 hypothesis: how to know where to go/what to do: shift perspective to higher self/inner being (mass consciousness). That true, deep part of you that was you before all the programing you went through, all the life and memories you've been through. That's the part of you that knows exactly what you want.  going into that feeling of 'oneness' with all is tapping into the 'mass consciousness'. growing your ability to focus makes it easier to get into a state that allows you to shift your perspective to that mass consciousness. do that enough and you get impulses to do things that lead you to what you want, because you're now able to 'hear' your inner being - aka, that part of you that's tapping into that quantum field we call mass consciousness. This is intuition. doing that enough starts affecting your behavior patterns. the better you are at hearing your inner being, the better you become at being able to communicate with that portion of yourself....

 did you think about the action to take? = not inspiration did you take an action without thinking about it? = that was inspiration. did you take an action without thinking abotu it, and then start thinking about what to do for the next step/piece? = you've left inspiration. Stop thinking. did you take an action without thinking about it, and it led to an undesired result? you have a limiting belief attached to the desire. purify the intention/desire and then go back to not thinking. purify: In other words, assess the frequency of your desire. Are there bits in it that you don't enjoy? If there are, then that needs to be refined. That's the 'purification'. it's okay. Ultimately, you can not get it wrong. if you take an action without thinking about it, only realizing later what you did, then you were acting from inspiration. you don't have to wait for a sign to act because the signs are not for that. The signs are for letting you know you aren't alone. T...
