The opening of the heart is the prerequisite for all inner life, the first step towards awakening and completeness. A child is awaken until 3 then . The opening of the heart will come to him through a sorrow of love that tears forever and makes one able to love. Process comparable to the tearing of the hymen. She or he who has never loved will not taste the fruits of the Tree of Life, says the gospel. In good French: will enjoy very little of the greatest happiness down here.
Maybe my heart is opening, baby groove.
There are many, those who have never loved. They can be married, they can be nuns, ministers or nurses, they surround themselves with a no human’s land without tenderness, without generosity, without affection. Dry hearts. Psychorigids. Cold calculators. They go through the lives of others like an ice breaker in the ice floe. They are alone, sometimes not; they live as bears or as domestic tyrant. They do not understand the impulses of affection, hugs; they criticize the mania of kisses and small hearts that bloom and hurt them. What is all this nonsense about, they grumble.
When we are dealing with a heartless person, how hard it is to send him love, already hard to smile at him. The absence of human warmth is communicative, hearts freeze at this polar contact. These beings resemble refrigerated robots. Deprived of heart, they have no soul. Without suspecting it, they have lost their way.
They also risk losing their Life. A heartless being is a mortal being. Some will be surprised: aren’t we all mortal? Yes, one day or another, we will all leave our bodies. But leaving your body is not dying.
The one who never loved cannot taste the fruits of the Tree of Life.
I did my first conscious body exit at the age of 16. Since then, I have known from experience that one can live outside the body. The divine power that is within each of us does not limit our existence to this vehicle of flesh and bone. We have in our heart the ticket to eternal life. Let’s use it.
In that case, why say that one can lose this Life? For a very simple reason, in truth: eternal life is not acquired for us, it is won. The opening of the heart is the prerequisite for all inner life, the only key to eternal Life. The motto of the Teutonic Knights, an order of monk soldiers close to the Templars, says it in its obscure way: “If you do not die during your lifetime, you will die dying.” In fact, the message of this sentence is terrible. One must know the symbolic death here below if one lives beyond it.
What is ‘vive mort‘? Those who knew it can’t forget it. It’s the hell of a romantic breakup. It is to find oneself more alone than a desert dog, for centuries, howling at the moon. It is wanting to drop in the water, wanting to hang oneself and disappear forever from the face of the earth. It’s been seven long yearssome have spent fourteen! I shit 21 years… on the grill of hell because by losing your friend of soul, you lost your own soul.
“You miss only one being and everything is depopulated”.
If the loved one returns, life will start again… but he never comes back.
I did loose my soul
When I lost her tender love
Poor devil of mine
I’m still loving her.
In front of my door
Her gaze is caressing mine
There my soul is dead
In the palm of my hand.
Leny Escudero, Ballad to Sylvie
Aragon the communist, the dialectical materialist, Aragon did not believe in the soul. The soul was there anyway. His love for Elsa saved him. We are beings of light, coming from pure light, and we return there through the reunion of our three persons, body, mind, and heart. Man is divine only when he realizes in himself this fusion. Three people in you, such is the Christian message. He is talking about you, your inner divinity, and not about I don’t know which Deus Sabaoth, Marshal of Starwars.
Is that the way people live? And their kisses are following them as revolved suns.
Becoming a god is uniting one’s three persons. The self of the body, the self of the spirit, the self of the heart. This is the true meaning of the holy trinity. The soul incarnated at last. The awakening of the ancients. You and me. Her and them. Triple we have become, triple we will live forever. It is good to open one’s mind, important to open one’s body. But it is a capital point to open one’s heart.
So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
We receive three people in one when we incarnate on this plane. A body, a heart, and a mind. But it is up to us to put them into service. In our time, the opening of the body, the work of the child, is done through sports practice. It’s the minimum desirable, but it’s often enough. The opening of the mind is done through school, including the school of life: travels, encounters, etc. It’s random, imperfect, but it does it.
On the other hand, the opening of the heart is not automatic. It is represented by arcana VI of the Tarot, The Lover. As soon as it is about tarot, I refer of course to my practice of the initiatory Tarot, in the precious reading that Jean-Claude Flornoy gave us.
The twenty-two major arcana represent the twenty-two mandatory steps of a human life. The arcane VI the Lover is the arcane of individuation. It is indeed, on the path of life that the major arcana present to us, the first stage of terrestrial autonomy.
Arrives here the magic point where the young being chooses for him, decides without his parents… and suffers alone.
Suffering is the key to opening the heart, such is the teaching of Tradition. And suffering is always the fate of the Lover…
Individuation begins with this arcane VI – The lover, when one is overwhelmed by love for the first time. We can live it in kindergarten, this first love, there is no age to love. But it always ends badly. It MUST end badly, because the tear that remains in your heart precisely signals this capacity to love with an unconditional love. Those who have not had their hearts broken, torn to pieces, exploded, torn, trampled… do not know what love means. They have not passed the solitary stage of ego.
The heart, it opens with the sorrow of love.
It happened one fine night the universe foundered on reefs where wreckers lit a flames and high above the sea I saw them gleam your eyes Elsa your eyes Elsa your eyes.
Becoming a god is possible. You just have to unite your three people, the three I. You will wake up. See the world as it is, a place of experiences, a prison to grow and elevate yourself to the top of yourself.
“It is only when you have gathered your three people into one that you are a god, that’s when you do not know death.” Those who fail in this sacred mission will, after their death, join the light where their individual soul will dissolve. Here is the second death, the true death, that of the consciousness that says ‘I’. To escape it from dissolution, a single solution: symbolic death, the ‘living death’, the crazy heartache that opens the heart. As we have understood, this death is the true birth.

That’s how it is. Life has only one rule, love. Love without waiting to be loved. Love without counting, love your neighbors, love your enemies, your brothers, your rivals. First love your worst enemy, it’s yourself. Love yourself, heaven will love you. Loving yourself is not everything that allows you and assuming nothing. On the contrary. It is to raise the level of requirement and donation at every moment. It is to see your progress before your weaknesses. It’s telling you: love again and again, always love more.
We never love too much. We never love enough.
It’s the things we don’t choose that make us who we are.
