Cultivating Your Heart and Personality

How to know your heart’s true feeling

In terms of awakening, the most important principle is the cultivation of the heart, the feeling nature. When free of blockages, the heart is found to be filled with unconditional love. You already have it. Learn how to allow the heart center to live in ongoing love, peace and joy.

Extend Love

Consciously tune in with God. Understand that God wants to help humanity through you. We are not talking about a fantasy. We are talking about the feeling of love and sympathy flowing in and through every person, ideally. May all of us love one another as a result of soul attunement. This is our higher calling. May we practice love and extend that love to all.

Hazrat Inayat Khan: The art of personality is that profound, deep feeling which directs every thought, speech and action.
The heart’s true feeling, when free of anger, fear, guilt, grief, arrogance, prejudice and jealousy, is unconditional love
The more you live from the ego (the false sense of self) and selfish motive, the less you can experience spiritual awakening

Cultivate the heart by being less I-centered and more God and soul-centered
Most often, spiritual awakening is received through the heart
When the heart is attuned, we naturally have, and express, sympathy

We are spiritual beings

“Higher consciousness (also called spiritual awareness) is the main component missing in the lives of people. We humans are spiritual beings, enlivened by Spirit. We’d have a much better world if more people discovered the already present Spirit within them.”
