The Experience of Life

Opening your heart essentially means that you open up to the experience of life.

There is much talk about mind and heart being separate. This has led to a certain level of misunderstanding which has led to a lot of struggle between individual human beings and amoung people.

The way you think is the way you feel and the way you feel is the way you think.

Opening your heart means, first of all, you have to refine the mind.

People think they can ignore and/or bypass the mind and open their heart. No such thing happens ever.

Refining the mind, there are many ways to do this. But the fundamental thing is just this.

Start looking at life with much more openness with your mind.

If you just look at life without any structure, without any conditioning, if you just simply look, you will see life clearly.

Whenever you see life in this way, you will see you, the air that you breathe, the water you drink, the planet you walk upon, the whole beautiful cosmos.

If you truly just look, you will see an element of you in everything.

And from all you see, you will feel an element of everything within you.

So, if you can see yourself in everything, then you don’t have to worry about opening your heart.

Opening yourself to the experience of life is the desire of an open heart.
