QUESTIONS

THESE QUESTIONS MAY BE ASKED IN ENGLISH, IN SPANISH OR IN PORTUGUESE.

This first questions was asked by Aline Barros in Portuguese.   “How to sustain the force of the heart consciously?  The ways and possibilities…” (“como sustentar a força do coraçao conscientemente? … caminhos e possibilidades…”).

It is a difficult question to answer briefly, or even in a book.   It is a matter of practice — a lot of it — alone, focussed and with sensitivity.

First, I suggest you study everything I place here in my blog (http:lamujerinterior.wordpress.com, or http:theinnerwoman.wordpress.com), which is meant to be the open classroom that I no longer offer in person.  You may ask questions, place comments, or write in the facebook groups’ sector.

The initial step is discernment, and this happens always through our body-mind system.  Without this as a foundation, you will not be able to distinguish the real from the illusory, and you will lack the strength, confidence or protection of healthy spiritual practice.  For both men and women, I indicate the book , “The Inner Woman” or “La Mujer Interior”?  See here in the cover page and find out how you can order it.  It will be a good first step for you to follow the exercises outlined in the book, developing your faculties of discernment and focus progressively.

You will need to distinguish sensation from emotional feeling and from the energy produced by mental processes.  That is the whole purpose of the book.

You see, what most people call “heart” energy is something else.  It is usually associated with emotions or with ideals and has nothing to do with the real perception gained when you step into the consciousness of the heart.  Consciousness is not thinking; neither is it feeling.  It is a state of awareness that goes beyond them.  You need to know what both feeling and thinking is.  Which means you need to be able to distinguish them from the raw sensations produced by the body.

You see, the body out-pictures everything!  It is the screen upon which thoughts and feelings are elaborated.  It is the energy of vitality and sensation that gives them context and meaning.

So, Aline, I would encourage you to begin with this one book.  There is a version in Brazil but I suggest you purchase the entirely revised version in English or Spanish, which is clearer and expanded.

I would end by asking you, “How do you know that you know something”? You may sense it in different parts of your body – your belly, your chest, your stomach… but the consciousness behind it is not localized in the body and it cannot be explained.  “How can you tell the real from the false?  In yourself… in someone else?”  It takes practice and trusting YOURSELF.

First find our what your SELF is all about!

Once you have read and are practicing the exercises you can deepen your perception by asking me any question you like and I will be happy to answer.

In love and greatest hope that persons like you will awaken and light the world….  xxx  Zulma
