The Place


There's a radiance around our heart. Yes, this beating organ of blood in our body. The radiance of the heart is more magnificent than the energy around the brain. These healing golden beams flow into every cell, every atom of our flesh, making the human body a divine temple. And they flow into the environment around us. Neuro-cardiology shows that this is as true in bio-physics as in the language of the Spirit.

As soon as we insist on a name for this radiance, we diminish its power, and forfeit the guidance of our lives to the brain. But if we simply rest our breath and our attention in this mysterious golden flower, the pollen of grace bursts out, and seeds the miraculous.

The heart space is our sacred door to the eternal, immovable, and self-luminous. It is the portal to a love so universal, yet so personal, that the Beloved longs for us as much as we long for the Beloved.

Name this presence the Christ, Buddha, Shiva, Allah, Wakan Tanka, Mother Divine. Or leave it nameless. But whatever the name, isn't it time to stop looking for that place, and start looking from that place?
