So today we are continuing our chakra 3.

0 series,

Which is all about healing the interface between our Divine Self that our chakras make up and this curious shadow world that we live in.

And if you've not listened to the chakra 2.

0 series,

Briefly what it was all about was understanding the chakras a little bit differently.

Because we often think of the chakras,

And we've often been taught this for the last few decades,

That the chakras themselves can be blocked,

That there's an issue in our chakra.

And the challenge with that is that we begin,

We believe that there's something wrong with us.

And as soon as we believe there's something wrong with us,

We don't think we can fix things.

We don't think that we have,

We don't have the confidence to actually make the changes that we'd like to change because we think,

Yeah,

Well,

I'm kind of damaged from the inside out.

Whereas if you imagine that there's actually two worlds running,

There's this world of light,

That our chakras are actually a part of their perfection.

I mean,

They're divine whirling wheels of light.

They don't change,

They're always whole.

But then we have this crazy world.

In this particular chakra,

This is about love,

But not romantic love with people.

It's almost like romantic love with the universe.

And so,

Because the shadow world,

Because the world we're living in,

Is all about separation.

And there's no such thing really as this divine love.

It doesn't,

It's not really something that's taught,

It's not something that we're even told is possible for us,

That we need to have an intermediary between us and God,

Us and the universe,

Us and whatever.

It's also sort of the danger of this idea of expertism,

That we believe that there's someone else that has to interpret things for us,

Whether it's a minister,

A spiritual teacher,

Or it could be an expert in any all kinds of fields,

But in this particular realm,

That I need someone else to help me have this connection.

I need a teacher,

A guru,

A minister,

Someone like that to connect me.

And so this separation out there doesn't make any sense to this heart chakra in here,

This is divine love.

And out here it says,

Oh,

No,

No,

No,

You can't have divine love because you are sinful by birth.

You are lowly,

You are gross,

Literally like heavy energy.

You are not an enlightened being.

So you cannot experience divine love because you're not worthy of it.

That's what the outside world tells us.

So then we create this interface in between to sort of try to figure out,

Well,

How do I live in a world that tells me that I'm cat food,

When I'm actually divine whirling balls of light.

And so that was the second,

The 2.

0 series,

Which you can listen to on insight timer or watch on my YouTube channel or something like that.

So this series,

The 3.

0 series is how do we heal this interface?

So how do I still live in the world?

I mean,

The bottom line is the world's not changing.

I mean,

It might be changing.

That's a whole other whole other topic.

But the world is what it is like we can't our happiness,

Or our health can't be dependent on the outside world changing or on other people changing.

It's all up to us.

So the world is what it is.

People are what they are.

We are perfection inside.

But we have a program in here that says,

I can't connect with the divine energy that is inside of me.

It's not even like it's out there,

That it's inside of me.

It's actually like saying I can't connect to my pancreas.

This divine love in our heart chakra is in us,

It runs through our system.

It's connected to all of our nadis,

Our energy channels that run through every organ,

Every thought,

Every muscle,

Every everything,

Every emotion.

So it's intrinsic.

So we have to sort of look at this program that says,

No,

You can't connect with that.

Like,

Isn't that curious?

It's like,

Literally,

We're not connecting with ourselves.

We're not connecting with our true nature,

Our true divine love inside of us.

It's very,

Very interesting.

So that's what we're talking about today.

So the fourth chakra we often talk about,

It's love.

And one of the challenges and one of the things I just want to pull apart here for a moment is the difference between second chakra love and fourth chakra love.

Because the second chakra love,

This is how we connect with other people.

I love you,

You love me,

I want you to love me.

This sort of compassion and romantic love and committed relationships and all that kind of thing or heartbreak in that second chakra.

That's not what we're talking about.

The second chakra is how we interact with other people.

And what's interesting is,

We're going to pull these chakras apart to look at them individually.

But really,

They're all one.

So this divine love that we feel in the fourth chakra,

There are times that we feel that with other people.

We feel loved.

We feel the desire to express the love flowing out of us around other people.

Like this is a real thing.

The challenge when we identify love in the second chakra is suddenly our ability to experience love in the world is dependent on the actions of other people.

Whether or not I feel love is suddenly dependent on whether you choose me as a lifelong partner.

Well,

Whether or not I'm a divine channel of God's love has nothing to do with whether I have a partner,

Or it has nothing to do with whether I have children,

Or even whether I have community.

Every single one of us is this perfect refraction of love,

Of the divine,

Of the cosmos,

However we want to understand that.

That essence of who we are has nothing to do with whether another human has chosen us.

You know what I mean?

Like they're not the same.

We're not in the same wavelength.

We're not in the same state of being.

They're completely different.

And this is really important because it's ironic that this morning I was humming Cher's song,

Do You Believe in Life After Love?

Because this song is all about you have this relationship,

Your heart is broken,

And you don't know if you'll ever be able to experience love again.

And this is the challenge when we so heavily identify in the second chakra that this is my entire experience of love,

That it's only with other people.

So all of a sudden,

You know,

Let's say you date someone or you're married to someone and your paths diverge,

Like you no longer are actually compatible.

Your desires have gone in different directions,

Or maybe you've even met someone else that you're more compatible with,

Or you're more,

You have an adventure to have with this other person and this relationship ends.

And now the person left is like,

Well,

What about me?

Why are we so incredibly dependent on these other humans?

So this is where the fourth chakra is really interesting.

So if we sometimes they call the fourth chakra the transcendental chakra,

It's transcendental love.

So imagine the chakras for a moment.

So the first chakra is how we feel connected to the earth,

How we feel like we belong in society,

Abundance,

Manifestation,

All that.

It's sort of that,

How do we actually exist here on the planet in general almost?

Then the second chakra is our interaction with other people.

It's like,

Oh,

Hello,

Who are you?

And do we like to hang out?

Is there a resonance here?

Or is there not?

Am I meant to go and hang out with that person?

You know,

We start to learn about this polarity or not polarity.

Well,

Polarity,

Yeah,

But we start to really play with the dynamics of magnetism,

Trusting magnetism that when I'm drawn to this person,

And not in our brain,

We'll talk about that in a minute,

But when I'm actually drawn to this person magnetically,

But I'm repulsed by that person.

And it's not personal.

It's just,

Yeah,

We're not on each other's paths right now.

I need to go this way.

But of course,

Because of Hollywood,

And because of training,

We take all these things very,

Very personally,

That there must be something wrong with me,

That I that that person doesn't want to be with me.

And it's like,

But you're just not on the same path.

Like,

It's a very curious thing,

How we've been sort of trained that we should force people on to paths that aren't theirs,

Probably comes from believing in scarcity,

Believing that there's not enough people in the world,

Or there's not enough,

Which is ironic,

The world is almost 8 billion people in it.

And we're afraid there's not someone for us like,

But again,

This is so deeply trained into us through Hollywood and through family and all kinds of things.

So then the third chakra is who I am,

I almost like what is my mission?

Why am I created uniquely like this?

Why are you created uniquely like you are?

So these lower chakras and not lower bad,

But just simply in the body,

They are lower,

Who I am,

How I interact with you,

And how I am in society.

These are places that it's really easy to be highly identifying with,

You know,

Do I have enough food?

Do I have company?

Do I have friends?

Do I have family?

Do I have a partner?

These are things that are very defiant,

They define our world on a very tangible way.

So if this person tells me that they love me,

This is real.

I know,

Okay,

I'm lovable,

That person loves me.

Okay,

I can,

I can hold on to that.

Once we get into the fourth chakra,

We're no longer in this lower triangle that you know,

We the first chakra,

Second chakra,

Third chakra.

The fourth chakra in the heart is beyond those things.

It's transcendental.

And so when we talk of love in the fourth chakra,

We can't mix up the love in the first,

Second and third chakras.

This is not the same.

It's not self love.

It's not love of other people.

It's not love of children.

It's not love of anything like that.

It's not love of nature.

It's not those first three chakra experiences of love.

It's transcendental.

It's beyond that.

So this is a really important thing to imagine because for example,

In the Cher song,

Because we've had a breakup in the second chakra with another human,

We easily cannot experience love on a transcendental level,

Which is actually so much more important because ironically,

If we are struggling to feel this love in the fourth chakra,

Ironically,

We won't feel it in the second either.

So even if someone just lays down their heart and says,

I love you more than anything on the planet,

We don't believe it because we can't actually receive love because there's something amok in the fourth,

In the interface in the fourth chakra.

So one of the things we think about when we think of the chakras is we think about the backside of the chakra and the front side of the chakra.

So the back is where we receive and this is in all the chakras.

So this is where we receive love and then the front is how we then share it out.

It's almost like the back is the feminine,

How we receive and the front is the masculine,

How we give.

So it becomes a really interesting question why we struggle to receive love from the universe,

Not from other people.

We can look at that in a minute,

But let's just go into that transcendental space.

Why don't I feel love and connection with the universe?

My teacher Jim used to equate love with connection.

It's just how human beings connect with people and the world around them.

So even if we kind of forget the word love,

Why do I not feel connected to the universe?

Why is that?

Well one of the reasons is we are actually trained as children that you can't connect to God and I'm just going to kind of use religious terms for now.

Actually in the Christian faith,

For example,

We are taught that we are born sinful.

You are lowly.

You cannot connect with God,

Which is so ironic because within the Christian faith,

Jesus taught that we have the Holy Spirit within us to guide us,

The Holy Spirit within.

Well this actually reflects in the Hindu religion that all things are Brahman,

All things are God,

But Atman lives in the heart chakra.

And Atman is like my personal,

Again it's so funny right,

As soon as you get into transcendental things there's no words that are right,

But Atman is like my personal experience of God,

Of Brahman.

So it's almost like the perfection of the universe exists in my heart chakra.

And I want to say in a unique way that's right for each one of us,

But it's still whole.

Even though it might be slightly different or a personal experience of it,

It's still whole and perfect inside of each of us.

So a lot of the religions have this idea that in the heart center there is this perfection,

This God self right here.

Well we are not taught that this is okay.

In most religions we are like,

No you're not,

You're like a dog,

You're nothing,

Nothing against dogs.

But you're just this broken human full of sinful thoughts.

Nothing's wrong with you.

And that's a really big thing too.

When you imagine what did we learn as children?

What did we learn as children in terms of receiving love from not individual people but from our surroundings?

So maybe there's the obvious things.

Maybe our parents weren't particularly warm and fuzzy.

Maybe they were harsh.

Maybe we lived in a family full of judgment and neglect.

Maybe we didn't feel love growing up at all.

Maybe we lived in difficult homes where there was alcoholism or drug abuse or abuse period.

Well how can we come in and right off the bat we're like four days old and we are learning about this universe.

We're learning that no we're not going to be held.

We aren't safe.

We aren't going to feel love.

We're learning this without knowing we're learning it.

So that's a huge thing too to unpack that if we were raised in a home like that,

This idea of receiving love through the fourth chakra might be very difficult because it's almost woven into what we learned as a child that that doesn't exist.

But it's something that we can develop at any time.

That's just a program in the interface that says that that's not out there.

But we can change the program in the interface.

We intrinsically all have a fourth chakra that is perfectly functioning no matter how brutal our childhood was.

The only thing we have to shift is the program that says it doesn't exist.

You know we just have to start to open that possibility that okay maybe my upbringing didn't give me the clear view of what's really going on in the world.

On a much more subtle level regardless of the family that we were raised in even if you had a relatively happy childhood,

If we were raised in a home where there was judgment we will often feel very disconnected from source.

And this could be anything.

This could be that we were personally judged by our parents that we weren't good enough which of course is just a reflection of them again so we've like sort of internalized their program into our interface.

It has nothing to do with us really.

But even the idea that we can judge others that you know sitting around the kitchen table and mom and dad are saying well can you believe that they did this and can you believe that person well it's so good she lost a lot of that weight.

That's you know she was really putting on the weight for a while you know and did you hear this he lost his job can you I just don't know what they're going to do.

Like this is sort of innocent conversation that we do here around the kitchen table.

But what we're learning as a child is that there's something wrong with people if they are overweight.

There's something wrong with people if they don't have a good job.

There's something wrong with people like in my generation and before it's not quite the same today but in my generation and before if you didn't get married it was like it's so strange you never see them with anyone.

You just I mean wonder what's going on.

Maybe they're difficult people like and you hear this in your mind right.

Then we see it in Hollywood movies.

You know who is the person that you know just can't get a job and they're just such a loser and blah blah blah and who's the person who just can't get a date and they're always a bridesmaid never a bride.

We hear this constantly and then of course we see the personification of this person who you know doesn't get married and they're just this whatever like we have this judgment about it.

And what we internalize about ourselves is that we can be pulled apart.

We can be judged.

We can be that we're less than and this could be anything.

This could be even the weird generalizations that women are this.

Men are this.

You know that in some cultures it's better to be born a man.

In some cultures it's better to be born a woman.

So it's all caught up in this lower triangle that this is better than this and this has more power than this and this is more interesting than this and all this kind of thing as opposed to just being a human.

I'm just me.

Whether I have a job or I don't have a job or I'm a male or I'm a female or I'm gay or I'm straight or I'm you know black white it doesn't matter.

I'm just a human.

All these weird judgments say that this is better than this or this is different than this.

And the problem with divine love the problem with the love as soon as we start getting into this transcendental space above the duality of the lower chakras is once we get beyond here we're dealing with wholeness.

We're dealing with the whole universe and as soon as we think that we're like imagine you take us as a whole being and we say yeah but I'm not this so I'm going to cut that out and I'm not this so I'm going to cut that out and I'm going to keep limiting myself and now well this is actually me.

I'm actually this kind of version of me.

Well how can this little kind of twisted contracted version of me connect with the ultimate cosmos right it can't because I'm kind of this weird version of me and how can I possibly relate and resonate with the perfection of the universe unless I believe that I too am perfect and whole and this is really really important because as soon as we feel like there's something that we could change or there's something that would make us better we are disconnected from the whole.

And this is really important like to really sit and say in my life right now exactly as I am exactly in my circumstances in my body in my mind I am whole I am complete like this is really really important and when we actually realize that I don't know I have this vision of an artist and the artist is pouring their soul onto an easel and today they're going to use blue and green and yellow they're going to paint this beautiful picture blue and green and yellow.

They finish the painting it's gorgeous.

Is that painting whole because she didn't use any red and she didn't put any three-dimensional aspects to the painting.

There's so much more that this painting could have been but is the painting whole with the blue and the green and the yellow.

I think so.

That's like us you know however we were painted we're perfect are we the same as all those other people no have we had the same experiences of them do we have the same thoughts do we have the same accomplishments in air quotes as them no but that doesn't mean we aren't whole I am whole exactly as I was designed then all the experiences I'm having all are part of that you know whether my brain gets in there and starts to judge it and say oh well that's not right and your your life sucks and it could be better and if you'd made better choices that's all just junk from our brain that's all just junk from the interface that says there's something wrong with your life path but we're just all painted differently but we're all perfect.

So now if we close our eyes right now and you actually imagine yourself whole and you breathe deeply and you actually feel love and connection coming in through the back of your heart from the universe and this is transcendental we can't put words to it it's beyond that it's beyond romantic love we just feel this energy coming in from the universe through the back this is a really big deal but we have to believe that we are whole right now and there's a million trainings out there that tell us we're not but again these trainings are all just things we've absorbed into the interface they're not real they're not real at all.

There are other ways that we feel separate from the universe one of the big ways is that we actually are living a life that isn't ours we've actually absorbed some kind of belief system from the people around us or society or Hollywood or our schools or our religion that says you need to look this way you need to act this way you need to have this kind of job you need to have this kind of relationship and you need to deny who you really are in order to achieve it.

So now we're kind of living this life that's been created in the interface it's not actually real it's like a persona that we've sort of invested in that here's who I want to be here's who I should be so I'm going to live this other thing.

Well as soon as we're living a life that's not ours we have disconnected from source energy you know because we've created something that's a fiction and we're just sort of trying to live that out right it's almost like we're playing a computer game and we've created an avatar in the computer that has whatever relationship skills success you know whatever I don't play computer games but it's like we have this avatar and we're actually pouring all of our energy into the avatar and the avatars living out our life but it has nothing to do with this this life this actual life you know and so you know you imagine you're living this life that doesn't really feel like you so you obviously don't feel like you actually fit in the world because you have to pretend you're something you're not in order to live here right in order to be accepted by society I have to pretend I'm something I'm not so this is like deeply telling us that I don't belong I'm not part of the fabric of the universe I'm not part of the fabric of life as I actually am and this is really important because when we start especially getting into this transcendental part this heart doesn't lie the problem is we've been trained that we can lie we can lie to other people we can lie to ourselves we can create fantasies and pretend they're real like how are you know how you doing like I am great great yeah the kids all the kids are great yeah yeah and you and your partner oh yeah things are amazing nothing that I just said it was true you know the kids are really struggling and one's doing this and one's doing that and and the truth is I had a great big fight with my partner last night and I don't even know if I even love them anymore you know like that's the truth but we've been trained to lie and sometimes we don't even it's like you know I don't even want to think about it like I just I just have to get through the day I can't think about it we're actually well how connected are we going to feel to the universe when we're not even admitting where we are on the planet we're not even admitting what's going on and so that seems like a funny thing to be in the fourth chakra but if I'm not even living the life that this soul and that so my soul when I say soul I point to this heart chakra my soul if I'm not living the life that this soul came to live how am I possibly feeling like I'm part of the fabric of the universe you know I I often think of each of us as a piece of a clock you know like an old-fashioned clock not a digital clock but an old-fashioned clock and we each are these perfectly designed little pieces that all work together these little cogs and switches and stuff and when we are our absolute unique self we all fit together perfectly and we create we know that we're part of this whole and together we you know do whatever we do we keep time before o'clock but we feel we know that we belong but if we aren't being our unique cog we don't fit in the clock we we have all these issues and there's all this dissonance with everything around us and we don't feel like we're okay we feel like there's something wrong with us and then we disconnect and then our brain gets in there and starts to say that you know that we're even unworthy we're unworthy of love you know we get this a lot in the second chakra world that because I don't look like Brad Pitt or I don't look like you know Christie Brinkley or something or I don't I don't know that there's something wrong with me that there's this idea that here is everyone's supposed to look like a Barbie or a Ken doll and if you don't then no one's gonna love you this is huge in the advertising world you have to look like this otherwise you're gonna be alone there's a movie out there called they live I think it's called they live and basically aliens have come to earth and they've they're sending a signal out and it blinds us and there's all of these advertisements for gymnasiums and all that kind of thing but the subliminal message behind it is if you don't do this you will be alone right and and it's really an interesting thing that we believe that if we're this tall or this short or this fat or this thin or this successful or this or whatever even if we have the certain hair color or we have no hair at all or whatever that we are no longer attractive to other people that we are no longer lovable and it's such a twist and it disconnects us from each other and it disconnects us from this greater love this fourth chakra love you know and it's so insidious it's like I wish I could remember where I heard this story they were talking about the weird idea of judgment and they were saying that there was like a tribe in Africa it's always a tribe in Africa right but so they were talking about you know let's say so take an example of something like penis size you know it's it's I mean it's joked about really cruelly I think in my opinion but you know that oh well a large penis is better than a small penis but not too large like all this sort of thing that we judge like we think that if we lined up men and we could judge them based on their penis size well this is too small or this is too thick or this is too long or this is too curved or this is too like we take a body part and judge it somehow like like that somehow the length of my forearm has something to do with me or the length of someone's penis suddenly has something to do with whether they're attractive or a great lover or anything well if you've ever had experience with more than one penis I'll tell you right now that it has nothing to do with anything like anyone that knows anything about this knows that this is not a player it's nothing to do with it right and yet we still do this judgment and whatever this story was that they were saying that they don't do that they don't look at a penis and say well that's a long penis or that's a small penis or that's a thick penis or that's a thin penis they just say that's Peter's penis that's John's penis that's Brian's penis there's no there's no comparison between them they're just that's just like this is my nose and that's your nose who cares if one is bigger or wider or flatter like what in the world have we done with our brains to start comparing noses like that's nonsense like this is what we really have to understand about this idea in the fourth chakra and the second chakra that the things that make us lovable are not things like nose size or penis size or amount the amount of fat on our body or the amount of muscles or the number of cars we have none of these things are interesting it's all part of the interface it's all nonsense because the most attractive person is a whole person is that person who knows that they are the painting with the blue and the green and the yellow and they own it completely they don't walk around wishing they had some red on them or wishing they were a charcoal sketch and not a painting they just walk around loving their blue green and yellow these people are so attractive it messes with the interface right it's like when we say oh no I have a type they have to be this tall their boobs have to be like this their penis has to be like this we have this idea that we have a type we don't have a type because if you've ever met anyone that is absolutely completely embracing their incarnation in its wholeness they are so strangely attractive like suddenly you're like I didn't think I liked bald guys but there's something about this person they're so attractive you know I didn't think I liked heavy women but there's something about this woman that just draws me into her she's so gorgeous like it's the our wholeness that makes us attractive and here we are cutting away at ourself trying to fix ourself when we are perfect right now so now if we take this second chakra because it's most we're most we most understand this in the second chakra so if we really look at ourselves in the second chakra how we perceive ourselves in terms of relationships with other people if we actually imagined ourselves just me here's me here the colors I am I don't need to be any other colors because these are the colors I was given and it's perfection now bring that into the fourth chakra here I am I am part of the universe I receive love constantly I am fully connected to the universe in my perfection you know so now you take this person and not only are they embracing their color palette whatever they were given but they also have this crazy amount of love energy flowing through their system right so this is all just this how do we how do we allow ourselves to receive love through the back that's all this is because that's our number one struggle in the interface in the fourth chakra is that we don't even feel like we can receive it but when you can kind of rest back in this love you know imagine and again I'm asked I'm saying to imagine because this is a transcendental love right it's not the love of the last partner I had or my parents or anything like that it's not that it's not the same if we close our eyes and you imagine yourself held by a hundred arms of loving arms and it's warm the sun is shining and the birds are singing and you feel this beautiful love from the universe we can feel that whether we've ever experienced it or not in the second chakra we can feel it in the fourth so this is this love from behind and this is a beautiful meditation to just sit and receive this love because it's not dependent on circumstances it's not only not dependent on who you are or what the world how the world defines you or how you would define you it's also not dependent on whether you have a job maybe you're in the hospital maybe you're in jail maybe you live alone maybe you live with seven people maybe you make six figures maybe you work for minimum wage maybe you're homeless it's equally there for all of us all the time I used to have this friend that used to come and teach for me at my train station I've talked about him before who used to teach like food dharma at my train station and one time he was traveling and someone said you know I need to introduce you to my guru this is the wisest most enlightened soul I've ever met and so they took my friend and they kind of took them into this kind of a darker part of town and you know the houses were getting a little bit you know poor whatever and I don't know where he was in the world it was another country it wasn't in Canada anyway and he gets over into this corner and there's this guy sitting there and he's smoking a cigarette and his hair is kind of all ratty and he's got three teeth and he's just sitting on this stool and he's smiling just smiling like and this the energy of the sun is just radiating out of his eyes and my friend was introduced to him and he says this is my great teacher this man owned nothing he had three teeth but he felt this epic love of the universe flowing through him all the time this has nothing to do with circumstances and it's an incredible thing to just embrace this is this is the love of the mystics this is the love that Rumi speaks of they're not talking about the love of other humans our interaction with other humans is just our interaction with other humans which is great or it's not great or whatever but it's irrelevant to this this god's love this universal love and a mat so now imagine that you experience this universal love all the time in a relationship out of a relationship through a breakup through a courting through everything you just experience this epic universal love all the time well then suddenly so imagine you're single and you're like happy as anything just like this guy this lovely teacher of my friend's friend do you need to be in a relationship to be happy no maybe you'd like to be in a relationship so you're like oh i'm gonna put that out to the universe i'd like to be in a relationship happy as anything regardless but that would be fun and then maybe you meet someone and you're like oh check this out maybe i'll try this this is fun but the cool thing is is when we have this epic happiness inside of us we don't need this other person to be something we don't have expectations of them and we're actually open to whether or not this is even a match or whether it's a compatible thing or whether we build each other up or not because i'm not depending on being in the relationship to feel this love because this is what happens if we don't feel this love from the universe we expect it from other people so suddenly i become very attached to whether i'm in this relationship or not because this is where i have been trained that i'm supposed to receive this love but that's not where we feel the big love not the love that permeates our soul and runs through our whole bodies and minds that's coming through the fourth chakra you know we can feel romantic love and it's super fun in the second that's just so fun heart pounding so exciting but it's transient people naturally by nature come and go they die they move away we change we we we shift we you know again we have this idea in the interface that you know this connection with other people is meant to be for life and if some at some point that changes and we go in our separate ways that we've failed and now we don't have love now we don't have security now we don't have that it's like no no all that comes from the universe security comes from the abundance of the earth love comes from out here it doesn't come from people now we can feel love with people but why do we feel love with people because with this person i can really be myself it comes back to that being on our path when i am really on my path when i'm really being who i was designed to be i feel love in the universe so when i'm with you i feel love in the universe and maybe when you're with me you feel love in the universe and now we're in love but it's just interesting to know that it's more than this it's just more than that the other part of the heart chakra is the front side how we give love and this is really important because again when we live in a world that's full of judgment we actually are taught to be judgmental of everything we see you know we walk into a restaurant and we're like oh can you believe they painted the walls this color can you believe he wore that can you believe she's with him what's that i don't like what they did with that garden like we have this idea that we're supposed to walk around judging everything that we see so now let's instead go into this transcendental love consciousness of the fourth chakra and imagine that this incarnation you know i love the version that i the fact that there's this ancient chinese symbol and there's two parts of it the top part is heaven and the bottom part is earth and when you bring heaven and earth together this symbol is the symbol for human so we are like a function of god's love you know you put it in there and here's what comes out this is what i mean by a function you know if you have a machine and you put in certain ingredients this is what comes out that's us we're the machine of god's love so we receive all this juicy love from the universe and then we share it out into the world and we say i love that and i love that and that's a cool color and i love this and i love that and i love this there is a place for judgment there is a place for discernment and normally discernment comes when we have to make a decision or if i have to make a decision as to what flowers i want to plant in my garden i'm gonna say i like those more than i like those those ones seem to be the ones that i want to go home with it doesn't make the other ones wrong or ugly or stupid it's just these are the ones i'm drawn to these are the ones i want to bring home imagine living without this judgment of everything we see because as soon as we have a judgment of it we don't just pour love into them you know even people how easy is it to not let this universal love flow into this other person because they're mean to you or they're mean to that person or they're you deem them unworthy of love and again it doesn't mean we have to be in relationship with them like this is not second chakra stuff it doesn't mean i have to live with you it doesn't even mean i have to have a conversation with you but i can allow love to flow to you and not in a weird spiritual bypassing way love all around like not like that but just actually just releasing all the judgment that we're taught in the interface and allowing this love to flow through so if you close your eyes and imagine yourself for a moment imagine you you have your pellet your body and you have this heart chakra and you imagine this beautiful golden light coming into the heart chakra and then shining out from the heart chakra and you're just walking around the world like that how that would feel and ironically the bottom line of it is always just releasing judgment releasing the judgment that you should receive it releasing the judgment that you should give it you know we just let that go and allow ourselves to be whatever we are the last thing i want to mention is so one of the ways to actually really get on path with this and to really feel it is to just do what we love to do whatever you love to if you love to read sit and read if you love to play with dogs play with dogs if you love to paint paint if you love to skydive skydive like the things there's this sum there's this one beautiful quote by roomie let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you truly love it won't lead you astray you know again releasing the attachments of the second chakra and just do what you love just do what you love and suddenly something very subtle happens we subtly start feeling like we really belong we really start feeling like this is my world too i love being here and all we changed is that we started doing things that we really really love really honoring and connecting with our soul's desire thank you so much for being here i hope you have a wonderful day you
