Heart Reading … Day 11

This statement was made by Abbie Hoffman, one of the “Chicago 7” put on trial (which lasted five months) for bringing thousands of people to Chicago to protest the US war in Vietnam in the 1960’s. Sacha Baron-Cohen played Abbie Hoffman in the 2020 film, The Trial of the Chicago 7. It is fabulous.

When I think about passion in its purest form, I think of people who make statements like this; people who awaken to the higher truth of oneness and REFUSE to go back to sleep. People who continue to grow their awareness of truth — both their own evolving truths and the truths of others — are those who define love in action with hearts fully alive.

Truth is found through dialogue and reflection. We say a thing. It goes well or poorly. We then either reflect on it so that we can evolve our capacity to communicate, or we don’t.

If communication goes poorly between people for too long without reconciliation or resolution, the heart grows weary. It can either give up trying to grow as a light literally dimming and turning away from the spirit within, or the heart can protest with growing intensity.

Where does this growing intensity come from?

I feel tears threatening as I contemplate the answer. We totally know where it comes from. We know that the spirit within is inextinguishable. And we know that it is available to us whenever and wherever we look for it. It is always right here, waiting to be acknowledged.

All we have to do is pause … breathe … receive.

Can you bear the beautiful light inside you? I believe you can. I have faith in you.
