It's been years since I've read P'taah. That's some sound stuff. Thanks for sharing it. Best lift post here in a while! I'll add to the lift as I am quite inspired by it now.

Just last night I was thinking through the difference in life when you live from out of your mental intellect instead of your feeling intellect "intuition". So many people shut down the feeling center or think its that way and it's so true that you fuck up your solar plexus BAD. I did many moons ago when I decided to live from my head not my heart. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking other then, I did what P'taah said and thought I could protect myself from emotional pain and weakness that way and be "tough". Pffffft, I was never so weak. I forgot about feeling universal love.

It's felt like an emotion is only it makes all the pain and the bad ones go away. Emotions like fear, sadness, grief, anger, disappointment are experienced when universal love is in lack because of separation judgments is right. People tend to think emotions are bad and they cause irrational action (which they can and do suck to feel) so they shut it all down.

You can stay open in the heart and not experience any of that if you stay out of separation judgments and in universal oneness love.

It took a lot of work to drop back down into my heart place, open and become vulnerable again. Releasing the clutching claws from the plexus was physically painful but worth doing.

Tis the truth, that is where our power center is. It is asserted through the solar plexus. If you close your heart down you are not drawing power from your own well spring to use. It's like being bankrupt. For the mind alone to effect things with power, it first has to siphon power off another through some sort of manipulation like, intimidation, fear, ones weak spot, guilt, or the use of just taking it through physical force or via bribery.

What a HORRIBLE way to live! I still slip sometimes and it sucks, literally and figuratively.
 
When you come from the heart and intuition, how you experience your power to effect things is very different and AWESOME when there is no siphoning off others through manipulation, using force or bribery. You use your own and that alone is like being in a whole nother world and plane of existence right here. 

You enter a flow where things just go your way. No force, no manipulating, and you start being given stuff for free or much less and doors once shut closed in your face open up to you again.
Things come easy. Like with a big purchase, intuition will guide you to the right place, time and person, who will happily give it you for free or at an unbelievable discount. It's sense of timing and guiding ability is remarkable because universal intelligence KNOWS it all.  It's a lot smarter about the things your intellect through the 5 sense alone can know about.

It has eyes and ears everywhere and sees and hears and knows for you.  You can only access it's intelligence through the heart place while in universal oneness love.

There is a saying that love knows the way. It does. The consciousness of the heart places intelligence just blows away anything the mental intellect alone can come up with. You feel like you float through life effortless, charmed by grace with the midas touch.

What was said about not being in separation is so key. It's about opening up to and working with the WHOLE of the universe at your back and side. Just choose to see the brilliance of it all. The power is awesome when its lighting your way, backing you up and walking with you. The alternative experience in separation has you moving backwards against it, blind to it and life becomes a dark power struggle.

Like this quote says, the intellect is the servant of the heart. It's like a translator in a foreign land. The language of the heart is foreign to many.

If you're in the middle of a Brazilian Mardi Gras celebration, you don't even need the translator there serving you to communicate with others or make sense of what's going on. The joy of the celebration overwhelms and speaks to all and moves them to share in jubilant resonance together with it.

Like being with a lover, where no word is spoken or thought. The feeling just knows, how to move you both, no mental interpreter needed to make sense of oneness love.

When you can give the servant interpretor a break, Oh WOW, those times you are on point and at the height of LIVING.

Quote:

4. FEEL THE FEELING. Set aside your thinking and your intellect, and just let yourself totally FEEL the feeling. Rather than escaping from the pain, embrace and feel the feeling. (Transmutation does not occur if you try to escape the pain.) The intellect is useful, but it is designed to be the servant of the heart. Emotion is your point of power - it is your "flash point of transformation".
