The Call of the Heart

In our societies, we have been indoctrinated into the primacy of the mind. The mind is held up as the superior tool for making decisions. We rely on our rational, logical thinking to determine a best course of action, make a choice or find a new direction. The mind is expert at analysis. It can examine and dissect an issue from all sides and angles. It can call up past experience as a reference for what might happen in the future. The mind, however, is not the superior tool for choice in all situations. It can tell us what the false self or the ego wants and desires, but it cannot connect us to the Heart and its longings.

Why is connection to the Heart important and necessary? The spiritual Heart is our direct link to our Soul. It is the messenger of our Soul. It conveys the desires and wishes of the True Self, which are often not the same as or compatible with those of the false self. What the ego/false self wants can be in direct conflict with what the True Self needs and desires. In order to be the True Self and be true to our Selves, it is essential to listen to and follow the call of the Heart. The Heart speaks a language different from that of the mind. The Heart does not deal in should’s or what if’’s. The mind thinks, wonders, worries. The Heart knows. There is a certainty with the Heart that is absent with the mind. The mind cannot discern the Truth that the Heart instinctively knows.

The path of the Heart is always the highest choice. The Heart will never lead us in the wrong direction. It cannot be fooled by fear and imaginings. The mind will generate fear when faced with a new direction, but the Heart will hold steadfast to what it knows will best serve us. The Heart has its own wisdom and intelligence. It is our Divine wisdom. It will lead us Home to who we Truly Are and are meant to Be. The Heart is the path to the True Self. By following its call, the Heart will take us back Home to this Self, which is the seat of peace, fulfillment and joy. Following the call of the Heart IS love for the Self. Denying the call of the Heart is rejecting the True Self. As the Angelic Guides say, the Heart is the Master Beacon. It knows the way Home to Self and what that Self needs.

In this passage, I ask my Angelic Guides how to hear what is coming from the Heart over the cacophony of the mind. They explain the necessity of listening to and leading with the Heart.

How does one separate out what is from the mind so one can focus on the Heart? The mind can be so loud.

"We understand this dilemma. The mind is a powerful tool. It can bring us insight and understanding and wisdom. The wisdom of the mind is a true wisdom—not a false wisdom. But the mind is not the Center of the Self. The mind can bring to you many thoughts, ideas, concepts. All can be valuable, but the mind is more of a tool we can use. The Heart is not a ‘tool’ in this same manner. The Heart has its own wisdom, its own Beauty and strength. Be still and hear the call of the Heart. Your Heart will never lead you in the ‘wrong’ direction. Whichever path you choose can bring you to where you want to be/go, but the path of the Heart will always lead to the true(st) desires. We want for you to allow the Heart to speak with you. You are not the master of the Heart. The Heart is the ‘leader,’ the visionary, the director. Allow the Heart to direct you in this and all things. The Heart will never take you to the ‘wrong’ or false path. The Heart is the master, it can create the miracles you want to see in your life. The Heart knows how to bring these things to you. Open up to them at this and all times. We hope for you to listen to the call of your Heart. Ask the Heart what it believes, what it knows. It always knows the right direction, path. The Heart is always the answer. Can you lead with the Heart?

"Close your mind. Open the Heart. What does it see? What does it say? The mind is a useful tool. We need our minds. They can bring us great gifts. But the mind can also lead us astray. Take us in the wrong direction or down the path of harm and hurt. These things do not live in the Heart. It is not possible. Only Love dwells there…The Heart is always the center. Lead with the Heart.

"Feel the warmth in the Heart. It is like the warmth of the Sun. It warms you, envelops you in that warmth. That warmth is the Light and the Truth. It is your Center, your Forever Wisdom. Your connection to the Truth…the Heart is the Truth, the Way, the Light. It is your Connection to the All That Is. Hold what the Heart knows in your heart. This is the way. To Self, to forgiveness, to loving the Self, to accepting the Self. The Heart is the Center, of All Things. The Heart is the Light, the Way, the Path. It is the Divine Presence, your Divine Presence. It is the Beacon…the Truth. Stand in that Truth. Let that be your Center. Your Center of Love for the Self, for others, for all things. The Heart brings us back to our True Selves. Our Divinity. It is the jewel in the crown. The Empowered Light, the Grace. The Beauty, the Truth. Your Heart is the Center of All Things. And the Heart of the Universe is in your Heart. All of that Love is in your Heart. Hold on to that Love, remember that Love. It is all around you. It Is you.

"…What we want you to focus on is what you want from life and love. How can you keep your wishes and desires at the forefront? Which situations will serve you the most, bring you the most fulfillment and joy? You are the only one who can answer these questions for yourself. You hold the answers in your Heart. We desire to see you in your fullness, your happiness, your best course of living—the one that brings the most joy and Love to you. Will you figure these things out? Yes, because the Heart will lead the way. You have the power and the will to make, to figure out your direction. Your power lies within. No one can harm or hurt or hinder that—only you can do those things. Keep that power clearly with you. You will make the ‘best’ decisions you can make when you get to that point. There are many variables to consider—each will have its own weight and cost. You are able to discern the call of your Heart. Your Heart will take you to where you want to go—to peace, love, joy and happiness. Life has all of these things to offer to you and more. You are a beloved child of God—one whose Heart knows its way—knows how to get where it wants to be, to go. You are able to figure all of this out—you have the tools, equipment, resources you need to find your way to where you want to be. Of course, there is fear. The new, new beginnings can be fearful. We honor and respect that fear. We know how the Heart operates—it will lead and guide the way. The way home to who you Are, who you are meant to Be. You are already this Divine Being of Light. Your earthly existence serves a purpose, for you to fulfill the call back Home, to your True Self, the one God intended and created for/with you. This is the True Home, the True space for the Soul and living. You will figure it all out—you have the resources and the wisdom. Fear wants to get in the way but do not allow it. The Heart is never wrong, it holds the Key to all of the answers.

"This is about love for the Self. For what does the Self wish? What are its truest desires? We know you will be able to follow your Heart, in this and all things. Be true to your Heart. It will lead you to where you need to be. It is not wrong to want what the Heart wants. The Heart wants joy, beauty, adventure. It is okay to have these things, okay to find them. The Heart knows only compassion. It is through compassion for the Self that we find our way back to the Self, to the seat of who we really Are. You know this inside of you, and you know how to hear/listen to the call of your Heart. Open wide and listen to this call. Allow it to find its way through so that you are able to discern what the Heart is saying, what it is asking of you. Do not fear this call—it is the Center of you, the Center of who you really Are, the Divine Being you Are. It is our wish that you listen to the call of your Heart. The Heart knows the way to ‘figure this out’ for you. Your Heart is wise and intelligent in its own way. It knows how to lead you where you want to go. Listen to the intelligence of the Heart, of your Heart. It is wiser than you know/realize. We want for you to be happy in all ways. What makes your Heart sing? What can you do to make your Heart ‘happy’? Your Heart knows no bounds; there are no limits as to what it can hold. We can each fill our Hearts to capacity, and there will still be room leftover. What do you want to have in your Heart? Who do you want to hold in your Heart? These are questions to consider at this time. It is not as difficult as you think to find the answers. Tune into the Heart and you emerge with the knowledge you wish to have, the wisdom you wish to have.

"We know what you hold in your Heart, what you wish to hold there. Compassion, joy, Love, great Love, family, friends, service, and all of the other things that bring you joy. You are entitled to all of these things. You can hold all of them in your Heart. Your Heart knows no bounds, no limits. There is room for all of these things in your Heart. It is possible to discern what you wish to have in your Heart. You have the capacity to do this. We see that you struggle with all of the questions, all of the ‘what if’s.’ The ‘what if’s’ are fear-based; they serve to hold you back from what you really want. The ego controls these fears. It is the job of the ego to hold these fears for you, make you think you are not the master of these fears. These fears are not ‘real’ in the usual sense. We have fear in order to protect ourselves from danger. Is this a ‘dangerous’ situation? We do not want you to think of it as such. This situation holds another kind of ‘danger,’ the kind that we do not like to acknowledge. We are afraid to move forward, afraid to make decisions that lead to changes. These are hard decisions for us to make. We each must sift through our own needs and wants to come up with our ‘plan.’ We cannot form our plan without looking at everything, every aspect. This does not have to be a laborious process—one that takes much time or attention. Attune to the energies of your Heart and the desires there. You will ‘figure out’ where to go from there, when you are there in the midst of these energies. These energies are there to help you decipher what you truly want. There can be no hiding from these energies. They are powerful and masterful. They know how to lead us to where we want to go.

"We can try to avoid the true Heart, but will our Soul allow this, or will it continue to call out to us in its fervent desire? Do we want to miss this call of the Heart, this ‘cry’ for more of what we want/need? We think not. It is always in our ‘best interest’ to hear this call. We can choose to ignore it, but will this bring us happiness and peace, or will it bring us longing and loss? Either way we must experience some type of ‘loss.’ It is unavoidable. Not all losses are ‘bad.’ All might be painful, but not all are ‘bad.’ They can help us with our Soul’s growth, with its full potential. This is why we seek the human incarnation—to have these experiences of what will help lead the Soul to its full potential. Do you hear the call of your Heart right now? It is wise to ask yourself this question at this stage and all others. You are/will be able to do this—we know it, believe in it. We trust your ability to figure this out, to figure out what you truly want to have in your Heart. It is your Divine wisdom that will lead you there. We can see the ‘outcome’ of this process as one that will lead you to happiness and joy, peace, simplicity, Love. These are all things the Soul wants, craves, needs. Our Souls know how we can best obtain these things, best bring them into existence for ourselves. Your Soul wants to lead you in this direction. Allow it to do so. You can resist, but what will this bring you—pain or joy? Happiness or misery? These things are not mutually exclusive. One does not preclude the other. But we can learn to discern between the two, between the pairs. Which do we want more, the pain and suffering, or the joy and happiness? It is our right to make these choices for ourselves. The Soul knows what it wants, what it desires most, but we do not have to listen to this call. We can choose otherwise. But what will this bring to the Heart, to the True Heart? We need to discern the difference here. It is not a simple matter of choosing one over the other, of making one more important than the other. Each are important/significant to our growth. One will not lead to more or less growth. One will lead to more happiness, peace, joy. It is never ‘wrong’ to choose growth. Do we want this growth to lead to pain, or do we want it to lead to joy? We can experience both of these things with these kinds of choices, but one will predominate the other, one will stand out above the other. We are the masters of the choices, of these ‘tough’ choices. We know how to do this. We trust you know how to do this for yourself. This is not complicated. It’s simple—what do you most want to hold in your Heart? In your Soul? What matters most to you? We see you struggle with these suggestions. These are not meant to confuse or trouble you more. These are meant to help you listen to the call of your Heart. It is beckoning to you. It knows what it wants, needs, desires. Hear this call. Do not allow fear to hold you back from the truest desires of the Heart, from that which you desire most. It is okay for you to desire most what you truly want/need. We know there is fear in this...All is as it should be. Trust in the Universe and God to bring to you what you need when you need it. It will be there for you when you need it. We want all that is best for you, all that you truly desire. Allow this to come to you. Open to the call of your Heart. You are able to do this."
