To Know More, One Must Feel Less

Namaste! Greetings for a very blessed and joyous Sunday.

Peace is a state of mind that spills over into your form. Consequently, every cell begins to feel at ease and is okay with just about everything.  It is said that each Soul is a cell in the Body of God.  I think about this statement very very often and I find myself going off on a star trek with just this outrageous suggestion.  Imagine if I am a cell in the Body of God, and here I am living a life that feels far bigger than a cell with my very own universe, cosmos and world, then can you imagine what is going on within my body? I'll tell you. From the spiritual perspective, an explosion of Heaven! Think about it. I cannot think of anything else but this and it is this truth that motivates and spurs me on to expand my consciousness.

Now imagine the same about each cell in your body??  It is no wonder all the Ancients say everything is within. What goes on within, goes on without.  Is that how we can see God's awesome creation of  art spread across the landscape of our minds?  ... simply because all of it is lived by trillions of cells within?  

The mind person will toss it over and over in his/her mind trying to make intellectual sense of it just like a scientist. But a Heart person operates from a completely different zone.

Fyodor Dostoevsky, a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher has this to share and it feels so resonant with my thoughts and feelings about my own personal ongoing Self discovery.

"To know more, one must feel less, and vice versa… Nature, the soul, love, and God, one recognizes through the heart, and not through the reason. Were we spirits, we could dwell in that region of ideas over which our souls hover, seeking the solution. But we are earth-born beings, and can only guess at the Idea — not grasp it by all sides at once. The guide for our intelligences through the temporary illusion into the innermost centre of the soul is called Reason. Now, Reason is a material capacity, while the soul or spirit lives on the thoughts which are whispered by the heart. Thought is born in the soul. Reason is a tool, a machine, which is driven by the spiritual fire. When human reason … penetrates into the domain of knowledge, it works independently of the feeling, and consequently of the heart."  ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky ~
