Head
vs Heart
“Fear
is the opposite of love, simply because fear contracts and love
expands. The only way to be truly open is to silence the mind and
open the heart. If humanity is to survive, this is the change that
needs to happen!
When the
heart is open, there are no fixed ideas, just peace, love, expansion
and unlimited possibilities. Choosing to live in terror, fear, lack
and limitations always means that you are living in mind, and mind
only exists in two places – past and future. It simply cannot exist
in the present. This is why every enlightened being agree on one
thing – you have to bring your energy to the NOW, this moment, here
and now. Why? Because when you are in the present, the mind is
silenced and your heart is expanded, and this is the only state where
you have the ability to hear your inner guidance and re-connect with
the source within.
Living
in the future instead of here and now, means living in “ifs,” and
in doing so, you are not only limiting yourself, you are also
attracting the future that you fear! If you want a positive future
for humanity, this is not the way. We have to learn to silence the
mind and live in the now before we can become co-creators of a future
with a positive outcome.” excerpt

DH
Lawrence, poet & author, wrote on loneliness.
"
I never know what people mean when they complain of loneliness. To be
alone is one of life's greatest delights, thinking one's own
thoughts, doing one's own little jobs, seeing the world beyond and
feeling oneself uninterrupted in the rooted connection within the
centre of all things."
As
I reflect upon Lawrence's words, it occurs to me that he was talking
about two different states of energy. The energy of loneliness is
felt as a result of feeling isolated. Isolation can be a result of
being disconnected from your higher self, your spiritual self which
then leads to a disconnect involving other people. I have read that
we humans are wired for needing connection. Just like a plant that
wilts from lack of water, we humans feel a void when we lack
connection.
I
can remember times in my past when I felt unbearable loneliness. To
feel lonely is a hard place to live. It felt somewhat like a
disease, one I would not wish on anyone. Back then I did not have an
understanding of what was behind this feeling of loneliness. I did
not know it was a symptom of a larger issue.
In
my opinion, to feel lonely is what happens as a result of a
disconnect from within. We are mind, body, and spirit and all three
need attention. When we neglect any part of the trio we are headed
for a disconnect. Often of the three, it is our spirit that is
starved. We live in such a material world where we look to externals
for happiness. We need to return to knowing that we are spiritual
beings having a human experience and not the other way around. I
honor my spirit by lending an ear to my higher self.
To
be alone (to enjoy solitude) is a state in which we allow an energy
of connection to occur. I cherish the benefits of solitude. I know
how important it is to have a balance of solitude and the company of
others. It is often in my solitude I get inspiration. It is in my
solitude I sit still and connect with the divine within. Just as I
would lend an ear to a friend who needed to be heard, I lend an ear
to my higher self during quiet moments when I choose to be still
without distraction. To pray is to talk to God and to meditate is to
listen. We need to do both.
When
we choose to switch from the head to the heart, we expand and raise
our vibration so that we see life from another perspective.
I
am never lonely now. I choose at times to be alone. With so many
distractions in life, I have to go out of my way to create stillness.
It is a choice we all make.
If
someone were to tell me they felt lonely, I would suggest they find
someone or something to be of service to. When you shift the focus
off yourself and onto helping another, you are giving yourself a
gift. I love being of service and I know the joy that comes from
that. We all have a choice to choose joy & gratitude over fear &
loneliness. It starts with an intention.
