Love withers in fear. Fear is complexity. Fear is the encroachment of the program that the mind senses. The program is the dysfunction of the system. The system is the creation of the few who want control over the planet, who believe that they can actually control the planet and hold its power in their hands.
All humans feel the encroachment of this program even those who created the program. Yes, it varies...both the fear and the rational understanding of its causes. The program modulates. It moves in rhythms that are both planetary and highly personalized, and they interact. It is in this time-honored interaction that creates the flywheel effect of the program , lubricating the human nodes on the network so that the program can submerge stealthily into the culture and propagate from generation to generation.
There is no end to the program. It is eternal. It always exists in the dimensions of embodiment, it is only a question of degree, but the larger and more compelling question is how one responds to the program.
Tune out to tune in is one strategy. Keep your head down and work hard is another. There are a hundred more, in some ways, there are as many different ways to respond as there are human incarnations. The response of the heart to this program is to modulate in sympathy. It is to allow the the program to saturate the body and mind systems. The heart is soft. malleable, opening, accepting, forgiving, compassionate, understanding... it is all of these things and more.
The program doesn't care. The program is heartless. To respond to this program with sympathy is natural, but unwise. This is why discernment is so important. The heart is the eye of the soul and its mouthpiece.The soul sees the program and understands its purpose. It dances with the program but never becomes it. It learns from the program but never attempts to teach it, to change it, or even to alter it in a subtle way.
The program is freewill.
The program is evolving.
The program serves the greater destiny of the human family.
Some will say that the program is inside each of us. It is an artifact of the human mind system. The program is not inside us, like a third-party as if we were its host. We are the program, or more accurately we are the programs outpicturing. Each human is the outpicturing of freewill, and freewill is the nucleus of the program, but even underneath this nucleus' core essence, is something more expansive and utterly undefinable.
This undefinable subject has but one purpose: to be defined by the program. Each of us is a photon of light and collectively we are giving our light to a subject that has lived in anonymity since time began. We are becoming the light that will finally resolve the undefinable presence that is beneath the program-presumably, the creator of the program.
So in all your resistance to the program, in all of your soft resonances to its urgings and modulations into fear, will you dance with it? Will you learn from it? Or will you curse it, hate it, wish it into nonexistence, push it away, and most of all, fear it? For if you do this, your light will dim. Your love will wither. The face of the undefinable will remain true to its name.
The heart is the connection from the "I" to the "We" and from the "We" to the Undefinable. If you want to shed your light on the undefinable, then allow your heart to see and speak. How do you do this? You listen to your imagination, but not the one of the human brain, not the one of your mind, you listen to the imagination of your feelings. Which feelings? The ones that allow you to dance with the program.
The program is neutral. It is this because it encompasses all. That which holds everything by definition is neutral. This is the nature of the native heart as well. It is neutral because it encompasses all. It lives for all. It beats in all. It interacts with all. It flows with all. It loves all.
The program doesn't love. The program doesn't hate. The program doesn't produce good or evil. The program lights us up, so we can light up the undefinable and journey in its direction. What direction is that? It is the only thing that matters. That you discern the direction through your own heart. Everything you have learned, all the dramas that define you, every action you have taken, can be modified by these seven words. If you do it enough times, you will see that the direction is stillness and allowance and acceptance and love.
It is not a direction of space or time. It is not really a direction at all. It is the persistant attitude of forgiveness, the wisdom of opening yourself to what finds you, the allowance of Life in your life. It is the outflow of love as the defining principle in your life. This is why the heart when activated does not seek. It absorbs, it expresses. It heals even when it cannot heal the body or mind. It heals because it raises its light in sympathy to the one presence that wrote the program. And the agglomeration of all other ills, densities, injustices is seen in this same light as the program. The Heart is the light that activates the picture of what we are -collectively.
And this picture is what we call love, and yet when people sling this word around in their everyday life, it is absent this meaning. It is another thing altogether, and so the first thing one learns on the heart's path, is to redefine love as the nectar of the undefinable.
