The Heart Opens

Giovanni Sassoferrato


Often through great suffering or joy, the heart opens and is exposed....I remember one student described this experience as having the feeling of some kind of surgery to the heart where the wound is left open. Through this wound the soul can enter the heart and flow through it into the life of the person and create a great sense of love, joy and peace.....it is an active state of the soul in motion.

In the Hands of God

Sandro Botticelli

 
The Christ child gently puts his hand on the forearm of Mary guiding her hand reminding us that the soul 
can be illuminated within us and serve through the senses.
The body of the Christ child is shining fully illuminated especially the chest,in his hand is a pomegranite
fruit full of tiny hearts (we are in the hands of God)

When this commitment is made individually and together all of creation and the Angels rush to our aid.

The Highest Triad

Estella Louisa Michaela Canziani


This painting clearly shows the highest triad that can be attracted to us, eventually even merging into our very beings.
With the grace of this Love, our souls activate to serve in the temple of the heart, circulating the divine light throughout the universe inside and out, creating the ultimate partnership of union and balance.

Broken Hearts


Evelyn De Morgan


Broken hearts because of disappointment in my shortcomings,
Broken hearts caused by voluntary pain.
Broken hearts that I blame on Cupid's arrow,
And false i's that render me lame.
How many lifetimes should I suffer?
Many lifetimes can be suffered in one day.


But if my aim is To Love,
And not to be loved,

God can still be Loved

William Blake Richmond


An unknowable God can still be Loved.

In Love Man is most deeply engaged.

Deep feeling is deeper than deep thought.
