There are only two ways to live life. Life can be experienced either on the surface or at the level of the heart. On the surface, life becomes an object of thought, ideas are formed, theories are developed, and beliefs are established as foundations for life and understanding. However, life at the level of the heart leads you to the mystery of your worldly existence and the inner nature of your relationship with yourself, others, the world, the Greater Community of Worlds, and God.

On the surface, life is idealized, but at the level of the heart, life is lived. On the surface, things become believable, but at the level of the heart, things are recognized. In the heart of life, you bring yourself into direct contact with the essence of life as it emerges within you, moves you, and guides you in the world in order to fulfill your specific mission here. In the heart, you find what is already known, what is true and inherent - what exists beyond all theories and assumptions, beyond all ideas and fears, beyond all hopes and anxieties.

This is the Greater Reality that you brought with you from your Ancient Hearth.
