The Heart Language

The Heart Language

The heart language reaches the truth through curves instead of lines,

It speaks from the depth of our conciousness direct to anothers,

It enlightens and brings together all that is seperated,

All false gods and kings bow before mystery in heart language,

Heart language is a vehicle for personal, cultural, and spiritual transformation of conciousness,

It is the now almost forgotten primal language of the mind.

The Big Questions

Few people go through life without considering the big questions. What is the meaning of life? Where did the universe come from? Is there an after-life? While these questions are difficult to answer, this website addresses these issues. There are, of course, many thoughts on these topics, and this is by no means completely novel territory but there is little that anyone can just pick up and read, which is why I wrote this website: to reach people with a meaningful way of understanding mystery. And also to examine the real practical implications for how we live (Which is quite a broad also). Before we begin to answer these questions, and plunge into the nature of the heart language we need to first look at the limits of our understanding, the limits of knowledge, which is the starting point of our journey.

The Limits of Knowledge

What we can know for certain is limited by the scope of our understanding. Our experiences and knowledge is like a small flashlight used to examine the expansive jungle of all that is. Let us take the example of where did the universe come from. Scientists generally concur that the universe was born out of a exploding singularity (black-hole), that everything in the universe came from a single point of energy and matter. This of course raises the question of where the singularity came from, something which scientists are very slowly working on. But what about before that moment, and again before that. Almost any knowledge in this way rests on assumptions that remain unknown and unproven. The same can be said of the belief that God created the universe: What or whom created God? A small child instantly grasps this limitation by constantly asking why until us adults merely give up and run out of answers. If you where able to answer the question of the meaning of life, a five year old would beat you by simply asking why to that answer you have given. Most of our so called knowledge is in this way a floating tower without foundation. It is, in my opinion, a great shame we teach this instinctive grasp of reality out of our children.

Acceptance of Mystery

Automatically in raising the big questions we arrive at a point where acceptance of the limits of knowledge seems like a very good idea. In fact we can refer to this limitation using language designed to leave open the borders of our understanding, in other words to agknowledge using language that we do not truely know. We can refer to the beginning of the universe as origin for example. We describe that origin in poetic phrase, and inject it deliberately with our subjective human experience. This creates an intimacy between the  unknownable and our subjective human experience human experience. This is ultimately the essence of heart language, which is the main content of this website, designed to bring one closer to mystery. Themes of wholistic duality, like love or sex, nothing, infinity, growth, life, birth, explosions, geometry express the ultimately unknowable in tangible terms, in terms native to our experience. These are terms that should strike at the essence or truth of the human experience, yet draw a connection to the infinite, the unknown, life in general, or mystery.

Thought and Heart Language

Thinking is the means via which we craft a perception of the world. In this way, our thoughts shape our reality. Thinking is reflective of language. The way we speak about things, creates the way we think about things, which creates our reality. To free our selves of the limitations of preconceptions and assumptions, we will think in heart language because we speak it. In other words, to speak in heart language, frees your mind of false preconceptions of the universe. Often closeness can occur when speaking heart language, and people will want to hug or express their closeness, simply by speaking a form of language that dissolves boundaries. True heart language expresses the growth the speaker, and in a way that transcends their personal experience to the experience of others, and even more general experience, perhaps universal experience. Another could read it and feel the same journey of thought, have the same revelations. Heart language should be as abstract as possible, open flourished and poetic in very aspect in order to be universal and avoid concrete terms, breaking down the me and you, the conventional “I”ness of the usual perspective into universal us, I/We, conventional words that might ties us to prentending to understand the great mystery. Heart language can be poetry, a story, some words, art, or any speech or conversation. Heart language is a vehicle for personal transformation, not merely changing our view of the world, but our very concept of self, our perceptions about our experiences. It is transformative psychologically and philosophically. To sum, the heart language is a way of perceiving the world that does not require pointless "logical", "rational" or "concrete" labelling of experience, it brings the great mystery and our own personal mysteries into the familiar realm of the subjective, the story, the poem or a conversation which is the native language of the mind anyway.

Keeping it Beautiful

The effect of speaking the language on the conciousness can very be profound. People would say its "trippy", "disjointed" or "unsusual" without understanding it. Often only exposure to heart langauge is the only way to fully grasp it. Now because the effect on conciousness is so profound, avoiding unhelpful negative feelings in speaking the language, except where expressing your own personal truth is important. Just hurting someones feelings in heart language is a big no no, and things should generally be kept positive in the end, in order to promote a feeling of resolution and good feelings. Its hard to explain exactly why this is important, beyond saying that the effect on conciousness is profound, but this is actually a key rule of speaking the heart language.
