Heart...Broken

The heart wants what it wants, the saying goes. Invariably, what the heart wants is usually not what the man or woman truly needs. So often the search for one's heart's desire returns nothing but disappointment, sorrow and pain as a reward.

But if man is anything, he is persistent. With every crushing blow dealt to him by the pursuit of the unnecessary, he will spend a short period in mourning before resuming his misdirected desires. He may yearn in the same direction, or perhaps in another. Inevitably, the end result will be the same: disappointment.

At some point, if he's fortunate, the man will reach a low-point of despair, a nadir so definite that he will crumble in a heap, limp and exhausted from the chase. What is the use? This world is naught but fruitlessness and sorrow. What is the point? Why am I even here? What is my purpose? I am through with this world, its glamour and false promise. Defeated, he sobs bitterly, doing his best to melt away and leave this earth behind.

This is the key juncture. This is where the heart, which has heretofore pursued its own desires without care or control, is broken like a wild stallion - true heart-break. It now sends forth a yearning, a vibration that will attract a like Vibration in response. Contact is made with the Gnosis, which has been waiting patiently for the heart to be still.

From this broken-heartedness, from the abject misery of perceived defeat, the man, led by the stirrings of the Divine Spark, dries his tears and rises to his feet, the heart now set in a New Direction, burning with the flame of a New Desire.
