Heart of Life

 The heart of life presides over life with eternal fairness. Within the center of all things it maintains perfect balance among itself. It maintains perfect equilibrium in the infinite living universe. In our small worlds, we experience the ups and downs of fortune. We see the bleak inequality of the world as proof of a prevailing law of might, of chaos, or of chance. Only by stepping outside of our narrow perceptions does the eternal order of this heart of life become apparent. The chaos of the outer realms is but an illusion covering a deeper balance that is never broken. An order that becomes more apparent as one ventures nearer to the heart of things. Limited mortal frames and the universes they inhabit abide within an eternal order and Universe who's Heart and Body is an undying flame. The flickering of our mortal lives from quick life unto quick death is sparks dancing on the outer limits of a fire. The outer flames may flicker, forever changing as they come and go, while the heart of the fire is steady and undying. The life within each of us is immortal and unchanging, while the life that we have that appears in this world is changing and fleeting. Each of us seeks the immortality of our deepest heart fire, yet we fail in this search as we are consumed in the fires of our desires. Blinded by passion, we confuse what we find in this world with the immortal life within us. We seek the immortality of our mortal frame because we believe it to be worth having forever. We confuse it with the undying life of our soul and it's heart fire which is the Eternal undying Christ spark of the divine. In clinging to the immortal life of our body, we reject the free flow of life energy into our body and being and likewise deny the higher wisdom of our soul. The greatest power we can have is when we abandon our mortal identity for that of our true identity in Christ as Christ. Without this realization, we are like a fist clenching a hose preventing water from fully filling a vessel. All illness arises from this. Water can only flow freely if  that which restricts is completely eliminated. It may or may not be our fate to have long life or health in this body. This needn't bother us. Life in Christ is real and undying, free from the suffering that plagues those with mortal consciousness. One that does not depend on anything in the world, yet is free to enjoy it fully. For whatever we may seek in this world, it is Christ for which we are thirsty. All longings are rooted within Him and His immortal life. We seek to awaken within Him as Him, the drama of the world is the unfolding of this search among countless sentient beings. The striving masses are vagabonds filling a desert in search of the secret elixir of immortality. Christ eternally watches over this drama from within and without. Within Him we know our true name and are freed from the woes of this world. He is Order and Light. He is steadiness and the only real security. How can might protect us from might? Might only breeds more might, death, more death. Life, can only bring life and Christ is Life. His vessel dwells within us at all times. We can drink from it whenever we are pure enough and humble enough to reach it. Meanness is eternally rejected and dwells in the outer reaches far from the holiness of real security. Christ's light shines out from each of us, for each of us is a child of God. Each of us truly is He who walks alone on this Earth. Each of us is awakened life eternally awakening in this moment and in each moment. Even in the desert lie waters buried deep and unseen. Recognition of Him within the desert of our lives activates the life waters of our soul and makes our life a bounty of the many treasures of manifested dreams now silently stirring within our heart.
