the ultimate act of compassion - Japan

[Namaste]

Norral, dear brother, you wear your heart on your sleeve. It's a wonderful way to be, and shows much progression into the opening of the green ray.

With that however, vulnerability can be heightened. I know this from personal experience.

Why do I not feel the love in return?

When the heart is open, one can expect another's heart to be open in the same manner as your own. This is often not the case, and one can feel offended by the alternative thoughts/words/deeds of another.

This is where the real test lies, to keep that heart open. To keep hold of your own power, rather than giving it away.

Regarding this particular discussion, Zen is seeking in his own way, as are you. As we all are. Acceptance of each other's way of seeking is the path to higher levels of consciousness.

Zen is but a mask, presented to you in which to face aspects of yourself that need balancing. A means to unify yourself with the Self. That mask will change, and pop-up in different areas of your life, until dealt with with acceptance and peace.

Keep your heart open brother, and keep it within your own power; remain in your center.
