What the Heart Desires

by Michael Levy


  

The first humans on earth were a very wise race of beings. They advanced through all manner of obstacles, adversities and dangers because they were in-tune with nature and instinctively knew what was  good for their bodies nourishment. Had they not been so skilled in survival and enjoyment of life, the human species would never had weathered the torrential storms of evolution. 

As time progressed humans became intellectuals and scorned natures 
wisdom. Accordingly, most humans today associate themselves as a race of well educated intellectual/Ego Beings.... Natures wisdom is in 
very short supply, but no matter.... A "good education" is far more 
important than true insights. Society has an abundance of educated 
professors, doctors, clergy, etc., and more mayhem and wars than ever before. Where is the sense and logic to that? The ancientness of the human species is blowing in the dust, whilst its descendants continue to sink deeper, into the intellectuals/egos/(devils) merciless clutches. 

Every human doctrine has just enough sprinkling of truth in it to sustain its supporters in gratifying ignorance...... They will argue and fight to uphold their intellectual teachings at the sacrifice of universal intelligence. The tinge of truth contained in their doctrines will be sufficient to allow the rest of the mind to be congested with outrageous non-sense within man made symbols, labels and dogma.

"Truth" transcends conjecture, doubt, speculation, presumptions, thesis, suppositions, gamble, theory, assumptions, protocol, formality, ritual, dogma, atheism, religion, -ologys and all -isms.

So why should humanity settle for anything less than.... The Truth? What's that you say..."who knows the truth?"
Just ask your heart.....For it cannot lie.
When it is maltreated and abused..... it will stop working....and the 
truth will always prevail.

Each individual mortal being has the ability to live a carefree, 
wholesome, healthy, prosperous life.  All mortals have trillions of cells coded to understand and reproduce in a perfect, natural system. The heart, lungs, spleen, kidneys, liver, etc., all know how to perform their tasks in a flawless synchronicity with all of earth's generous bounty.

Humanity's macrocosm is governed by Nature, Universe, God, Cosmos......These are all names/labels that describe the same manifestations in human terminology. All are clearly visible to the wise, knowing, aware "naked" mind's eye. Being in-tune with nature means being in-tune with bodily requirements to maintain its perfect creation/evolvement. The conscious mind and memory can and does lie to the body, but the body cannot lie to the mind. The body will rebel 
if it is maltreated and addictions and falsehoods will destroy a body 
well before its shelf life is up.

Here is just one example of the ego's ignorance: 

I was invited to a fancy party at the local yacht club recently. A 
very charming couple to whom I am acquainted, proceeded towards me and we began to talk. Whilst we were talking the man ordered two 
large double Vodka's. He then went to the snacks table to fill his 
plate with crackers and a variety of cheeses. 

Whilst he was away his wife told me they are having a bad time of it, 
as her husband is receiving treatment for prostate cancer. Chemotherapy, radiation, medication were all helping him to recover 
from all the damage he had inflicted upon himself....And how was he 
helping himself...Two double Vodkas and dairy products with crackers 
that contain hydrogenated fats?

The meal served to everyone in the room (most whom are elderly and on medications) was prime rib steak with butter creamed potatoes. The desert was high fat ice cream with added cream, a highly hydrogenated fat cookie, all topped off with butterscotch source. Another person who was on my table was in a hospital cardiac ward two days earlier. He asked for an extra serving of dessert. (Do you know anyone like this?)

When the brain's poorly conditioned taste buds rule the mind and body, the heart is incapable of passing its messages of love and joy...until it is too late. It will eventually react to its ill treatment, 
but alas, many times... it is a terminal performance.

The messages from our heart's desires may exist outside of our 
intellects comprehension, but it is within our intelligence's awareness. Therefore, if we cannot give our bodies the nourishment and exercise it desires to stay healthy and strong, even with all the knowledge and information science provides:

  1. What chance do we have in keeping our minds (which 
    have a very complex mechanism for administering, Truth Wisdom and Love) clear of worry and anxiety?

  2. If we cannot manage our own health and mental 
    emotional condition, what chance do we stand in guiding our families and work colleagues?

  3. What chance do we stand to captain a ship (find true 
    prosperity) if we cannot steer our own lives in the correct direction?

  • We do not need to gamble and rely on our ego's version of truth.

  • We just require a little time to listen in silence to the heart's 
    intelligent desires.

  • We need to listen in quietude to authentic meaning.

  • We can listen to the appeal from the heart.

  • We possess a source of truth that cannot lie.

  • Once we comprehend the heart's truth, we can begin to progress and live an authentic life.


"Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful 
impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of 
mankind."  -- Robert Louis Stevenson (Your heart is a treasure in your island)


Oh, what a tangled web we weave, once we practice to deceive. (The 
Heart)  --William Shakespeare



"When Health is absent....Wisdom cannot reveal itself....Art Cannot 
become manifest Strength cannot be exerted.....Wealth is Useless and.....Reason is powerless" --Herophilies - 300 B.C. (What has changed in 2,300 years?)
