The  Heart  Interpenetrates  All  Three  Planes

Uranda   April 1, 1947

 

In other Services, I have pointed out that, actually, what we speak of as the heart, or feeling realm, is not a distinct realm. We speak of the trinity of body, mind and Spiritual Expression; and then, in analysis, when finally the consciousness allows us to begin to break it down, we specify the feeling realm between body and mind, and yet the feeling realm is actually an over-lapping something that belongs to both body and mind. It is not a distinct thing itself, but it relates to both the body and the mind, and then, as one continues to grow Spiritually, he becomes more and more aware of the fact that it relates to both the mind and the Spiritual Expression.

The feeling realm ultimately is seen as inter-penetrating all three phases of the trinity and it is not something distinct and separate in itself. So, there is a recognition that part of the feeling realm belongs in the body and part of it in the mind. The mind, in the sense of the intellect, that deals with things on an abstract, impersonal, unfeeling basis, is not the whole mind, because the whole mind includes the ability to perceive through feeling, mentally speaking. Therefore, each one comes to recognize that some of the distinctions that human beings are inclined to arbitrarily make do not, in the final analysis, stand up, although they may be alright at various points along the way.

We have the trinity then, and, ultimately, the ability to perceive with respect to feeling inter-penetrates all planes, so that it is not just the sense of feeling in the touch, physically; it is not the feeling just in that portion of the mind that functions primarily with the state of mind where one might say hurt feelings; but it is also that Spiritual Expression plane ability to feel, which allows one to begin to recognize and partake of the true nature of Love.

Physically, one can feel love, but if it is limited to the physical plane it is not truly worthy of that name Love, as we ordinarily think of it. It becomes too animalistic. Mentally, it is possible to have a certain amount of love, and feel love mentally, but if the expression of love, or the perception of love, is limited to body and mind it still is inadequate to a fullness of satisfaction and, limited to those planes, it tends to be animalistic or it tends to be controlled by the adverse emotional functions within the scope of the mind, such as jealousy or fear, envy and things of that nature.

So it is not until the feeling ability, or the heart, in the sense of the Spiritual Expression plane, balances out the perception and recognition of love in relationship to all three planes of Being, that there can begin to be a manifestation of control in the emotional plane, allowing one to transcend the destructive emotional reactions in relationship to love. Many people say, "It is because I love that person that I am jealous or I am this or that." Actually, that is a totally destructive aspect of the feeling nature which the individual is allowing to operate in relationship to his love.

But when the Currents reach through, so that the dominating influence is Divine Love as perceived through the Spiritual Expression plane in a feeling sense, and that permeates all three planes of Being, then the expression and perception of Love begins to be a beautiful, satisfying thing that has a realization of attunement in and with the Eternal, and then, by reason of that fullness of Love Response to the Lord, the Love of the Lord can begin to express through the individual, allowing obedience to the second of the Two Great Commandments.
