quote:It's equally absurd, though, to say or think ANYTHING about the heart. There is no logic or truth in the heart. It is a realm of sublime paradox and contradiction. If you try to approach it with your mind, you will have done nothing but travel within your mind (and the single greatest trap of the spiritual path is for the entire practice to take place, unbeknownst to you, within the frame of mind. The mind will happily provide you with a very entertaining trip, make you feel enlightened, everything! Attempting to intellectualize about the heart is an on ramp for this detour. Danger!)
To make it even simpler: It is when I operate from being an individual entity that I am feeling that I come from mye heart, belly or whatever. While in reality, there is nobody there to have a heart. Simply said: The heart is all of existence. All that I see is the heart of the universe. All your words can also be said about existence itself. All is one......so why bother intellectualizing. And this explains why I cried. I always do that in the presence of Being. The article simply propelled me into the depth of now.
And to make it even MORE simpler:
Om....
