The Depths Of Your Heart

By Evan Sanders


The depths of your heart can turn out to be a pretty pure place to go. I used to think it's a place of intense perplexity and where the past lived, but I truly have come to find that it's really a place of purity.

These emotions that I feel inside have been claimed by others to be intense and for whatever reason I have experienced some sort of negativism with this word. Perhaps it's the way in which I am taking it? Perhaps it's the way I translate that word? However, I am absolutely starting to find that this emotional power about life is really pure simplicity manifesting itself.

I'm hooking up and linking into the purity of some of these feelings that I have never absolutely experienced before. Maybe that's the idea right there - fully experiencing emotions.

When we shut ourselves off from experiencing negative feelings we also shut ourselves off from experiencing the wide array of positive ones also. The midst of your heart could be a place of safety where you can go to grasp the truths about yourself instead of a place you've got to be frightened of. In this place, there exist lessons of love and eagerness. Why would you not want to go there?

I think we are frightened of this place as we have experienced how wild and intense a few of these emotions we pass through are and that shocks the hell out of us. For who knows what reason, we are taught to keep a lid on ourselves and not stray too far outside the middle because that's the safe place to play. No, I'd rather climb perilous trees and travel into unknown lands than play it conservatively.

That game is not for me...the playing it safe game in life.

The deepest part of your heart can become a place you go to understand the subtleties and mysteries of this life. There are so many things that we don't understand about what is occurring in this world because we can't see them. Often, you have to run on deep faith. You need to be pleased to put your feet forward, one after the next right into the dense mist and function on that faith. Will it be frightening? You can bet your money on it. Will it be worth it? Oh totally. Time and time again you must travel into your heart to find your true self and start to function in a way that is truly connected and present with the rest of the world. If you can try that, there is not any cap on what you'll become.

So what will it be today?
