This Week’s Quotation:
“Your heart belongs to the sun—to the radiant center of your Being. When your heart turns toward the sun rising in you, it responds easily and naturally. Any time that has happened, you have been lifted up by your feeling response. You have been set free. You have found peace. And then you could let your feelings flow to your world—to people near and far—in a way that brought blessing, in a way that liberated your soul.”
—Becoming a Sun, page 34
The Heart of the Matter
How often have you heard someone speak about their heart saying one thing and their mind saying something else? You might have experienced that yourself. This state of inner confusion can bring turmoil, hesitation in our actions, and relationships that may feel difficult, that never seem to land in a place of comfort and shared wonder.
To the degree that our heart or our mind are not centered in the Truth of Love, it can feel like we are aimless nomads, wandering through a desert without a clear direction, each one lost in our own private desert without respite, without partnership, like “a stranger in a strange land” (Exodus 2:22, KJV).
“Your heart belongs to the Sun—to the radiant center of your Being.” And there is the heart of the matter. As we turn to our own North Star, the radiant center of our Being, the light of that sun illuminates our capacities, and the liberation of Love is known and can be shared with others.
Here is the peace and the blessing that is our birthright as we walk together through the garden of life. Let us turn to our inner sun, that its light may bring upliftment through our heart as we walk in harmony within ourselves and with one another.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
