Path of the Broken Heart

You are a sensitive human being. This is not an accident, for you were born this way. You came into this world with a tender nervous system and a raw heart. Your vulnerability is not a fault, but rather a portal into aliveness. It is wobbly and uncertain here, but it is surging with life. Throughout life we experience heartbreak. As a fatal means of protection we innocently calcify the area around our heart center. But concealed beneath the broken and the neglected are brilliant gems of dark and of light, and the unfolding mystery of separation and union. This revelation is not seen by means of ordinary vision. It requires the unveiling of the protective barrier you've built. It requires the exposure of the raw and the vulnerable. It requires destruction, demolition, and divine annihilation. The next time your heart breaks, use this precious opportunity to keep it broken. This openness will reveal a depth of love and perfection that your soul has been longing for. If you hold your brokenness with patient and compassionate hands, you will find emptiness. And if you hold your emptiness with a curious and soft touch, you will find that it is in fact a fullness, a fullness of overflowing love and limitless energy. And all that will remain is what you are and always have been: a firestorm of exceptional creativity. This path of the heart may not always feel safe, but there is nothing more dangerous than living in fear. All that you are is what you allow to pass through you; you are that vast space is which all feelings come and go. There is nothing more safe than this. There is nothing more holy than this. There is nothing more worthy of your life than the devotion to discovering this, for discovering your Self.
