HEART FELT EXPRESSION VISION

© 2009 Howard McQueen

Imagine how we as a species may be able to evolve
if we put our heads down
and open up our hearts
and become responsible
for experiencing our dis-eased emotional being.

Imagine this as personal energy reclamation.
Imagine this as siphoning up the ghosts from our past.
Imagine this as a healing from the inside out.
Imagine this as using our latent gifts to create a heaven on this earth.

Yes, I realize there is a lot of stored resistance and that
it lives by the names of bitterness, cynicism, betrayal, abandonment, despair, depression, avoidance.

Yes, I realize we are constantly hi-jacking ourselves and heaping more suffering and misery on ourselves and projecting this externally.

And yes, I realize that all this is part of what is still holding the current precarious man-made structures together.

I sense you, like me, are feeling deep inside that more than just Rome is crumbling.

This feeling is our early warning signal: Wake up and open to the personal invitation to connect to and step into our hearts.

There is no other place to go, there is nothing more essential and preparatory to do.
Been everywhere else
except in the heart,
already reacted to this and that,
over and over again.

We’ve exhausted ourselves trying to energize our mental potentialities when we are not deeply connected through our heart.

We’ve watched members of our species greedily exploit the planet and all life forms for personal, egoic gain. We’ve watched fear rampantly peddled and seen these fires flamed into brutality and destruction – all for the gain of the few.

We’ve watched as our religious, government and business and communications (media) institutions have either sanctioned all of these activities, or were incented (through their own best interests) to turn and look the other way.

We have essentially always been on our own to choose to be guided by our heart. We just slipped a bit and began to believe that our institutions were supposted to do this work for us.

This is the wake up call. No one else, no matter how large or empowered, can breathe for you, can feel for you, or can awaken your heart or your loving intent.

This is for you to do, with a bit of help,
some reaching out to others,
that can guide and assist you..

Know that other hearts are already open and opening,
so YOU ARE NOT
AND HAVE NEVER BEEN
ALONE

Reach out your heart and these hearts in others will become visible.

The event horizon is fast approaching where the energy of the heart
will be tapped to empower the human dream on this planet.

Imagine, a planetary-wide cleansing of fear-anger-grief.

Between now and then,
Rather than cave in to the increasing turmoil
The mass insanity and hysteria of trying to survive
by keeping the existing status quo alive,
take up home and reside in your heart.
Light your inner candles, stoke the fire,
do your own inner work to cleanse yourself
of the two thousand years of darkness and mischief
deeply etched into our psyche.

Live in THE HEART and invite others to share this felt connection.
Allow the heart to awaken, so it can assimilate and integrate
our emotional woundedness
our short-circuited masculine and feminine templates
our relationship models to express love and intimacy,
this is the work of the heart.

First.
We are called to re-establish unconditional love within ourselves. This requires undoing and releasing all conditional attachments that prevent love. Lets call it a deep Intimacy with feeling everything arising within us, being able to feel into and see and through all the darkness and shadow.

Then
Re-establishing unconditional love with others that were part of our journey, going back to this birth. Here we will receive additional gifts for peering into and feeling our dark inherited, passed-down energies.

And again
Re-establishing unconditional love in our most intimate day-to-day activities, be this work, family, romantic partners. And again, more opportunities to receive additional gifts for peering into and feeling our dark energies, these being what we have learned to pass along to those we have tried our best to share and experience love.

And finally,
through diligence and practice, our heart breaks open and we can be in the world to feel the immense joy always available and radiating.

For it is we
Using the gift of conscious awareness
That must choose to put down our burdens
Our ingrained habits
Our flawed perceptions
Our corrupted conditioning
And undo and disconnect ourselves from all the actively running programming
And lead ourselves through a complete emotional operating system reboot.

Neither revolutionary nor pacifist
we walk the path of evolving defenselessness[1]

We are and will transform our life to live through the heart,
by relying exclusively upon direct, in-the-moment, personal, felt-experience.
This is out teacher, our mentor, our guiding spirit.

We drop all the crap and all the short-circuited energies
and radiate a unifying love through all our actions, expressions and intentions.

Two books by Michael Brown are easily accessible and very digestible experiental operating guides and perceptual aids for getting underway with the personal transformation. Bless you Michael!
