Vistas of love

Each of our chakras has different layers that are interwoven with one another. All the pieces are talking to one another and they make sounds. Each of the little pieces is moving and each of the little pieces is spinning. They’re moving in space and time around and through each other, literally. They can pass right through each other.

Our heart chakra looks like that. We love our heart chakra because it’s the place where love resides. In working with the heart chakra, I’ve thought a lot about what love actually is. Clearly the heart chakra is the repository for love. But what is love? Is it a field, a force? Is it personal or cosmic? When I was looking at the temple, I realized that these temples are repositories for love as well as knowledge. That’s why when people go to visit them they feel so good, because love resides there. The reason the heart chakra emanates love has to do with how the structures are singing to one another. There’s a certain type of communication, particularly in the heart chakra, that creates the feeling that we call love. It makes love, it literally manufactures it.

Where is the love coming from? The love is not coming from the heart chakra. The love is coming from intelligence itself. But the heart chakra has the structures that are able to capture love. That’s its job. It’s like a big fishing net for love. Each of these little packages within the chakra are holding certain types of intelligence in the heart. Their job in the bodymind complex is to capture love.

What is love’s job? What is the reason for love? What is the purpose of love? What is it supposed to do? The force of love from the cosmos has a particular quality. It moves organic matter in an unusual and beautiful way. It’s the movement of those packages of intelligence in organic matter. It’s the wind, the vibration, the force that moves the pieces. The quality of that wind that’s generated through the heart chakra has a particular effect on the environment. That’s why it can be expressed as sound. There’s one big love current and an infinite amount of flavors of that current.

Each package, as it moves through and around each other, creates a situation in which the wind of love can express itself. As it expresses itself in the environment, it actually governs the field of motion. The field of love in the heart and the field of motion around the heart are intimately connected. The field of motion is very important in creating life, because organic matter has to move. One of the distinguishing characteristics of organic matter is that it moves, even the tiniest little amoeba or jellyfish. But the kind of movement that’s created from the field of love has a special quality. When love moves, it makes a particular effect that creates health. When love pours out, that is, when the packages unlock, space opens out and folds back, and there’s a communication that takes place, the heart keeps building love, ingesting space, throwing space back out. In that process of movement, there are whole new vistas of love that are created.
