The Ways of the Heart and the Holy Unification
1
Holy:
(breath)
There is much to be said of the ways of the heart.
There is much to be said for the preparation.
(breath)
through burns, through yearns,
(breath)
through compulsions, through lessons , through journeys
(breath)
through revelation, through persistence,
through loneliness and companionship.
In that way, you are prepared to know
the ways of the heart and the Holy Unification.
(breath)
heart to heart
spirit to spirit
There is a charge in the heart and the spirit.
(breath)
There is a charge, a spiritual energy,
coursing through you,
received by some,
ignored by some,
rejected by some.
Shall I tell you, the Heart of G-d Calls, the Heart of G-d Yearns.
And the Presence of G-d is received by some, ignored by some.
You know this experience on your level.
It is an experience of Holy Yearning when the charge of your heart,
when the frequency of your heart, when the rhythm of your beating,
is received by another,
echoed by another.
Oh, it is a Holy thing, for the Lord G-d celebrates such attachment.
The Lord G-d yearns for such attachment.
For the Lord G-d seeks unification,
Holy Unification.
The Beat of the Heart of G-d is a Call,
is a Rhythm to all of Creation,
to dance in return!
to come and be accepted,
to echo the very Beat of the Lord G-d,
the rhythm of the coursing energy of Holiness.
And Creation responds.
And some people respond,
hear the Call,
put their life in the Motions,
step to the Rhythm,
Speak the Words in the Beat.
And others are oblivious, and others reject and ignore.
And the Lord G-d celebrates those who hear,
those who turn, those who seek for the Unification.

Holy: For the Unification and expansion of the Holy is taking place!
And here you are, a spark of G-d,
a spark of the Holy, with the same desires for unification,
a heart seeking relationship, union, receptivity, understanding,
but, in your experience yearning for Unification becomes so distracted, does it not?
The yearning for Unification, Holy Unification:
You are confined in these bodies, apparently.
So unification of body becomes spiritual Unification.
Yes! it is so!
But I shall tell you, Holy Unification celebrates community,
builds up Holy community, acceptance and embracing.
But where you are, unification of bodies can disrupt community,
can break Holy Bonds.
It is why there is to be measure and balance.
It is the reason for the laws and commandments,
for the Lord G-d seeks you to live in community,
in social respect, in the bonds of Holy Living.
So what do you do with a heart that seeks Holy Unification
and a body that yearns for the unification in body and spirit to be one!?
What do you do with such an existence?
Hm! I tell you.
The Ways of Wisdom seek to provide balance and focus,
balance and focus,
balance and focus.
Yes, the unifications of body in the Spirit is a beautiful thing.
Cherish it!
But do not use it for gratification that may disrupt the community.
(breath)
What is celebrated in the Holy is a Unification of Spirit
that is not dependent on the unification of body.
Such spiritual unification is shared openly, is celebrated, is
supportive.
It allows the bonds of Holy Engagement to be cherished and respected.
It does not violate, does not seek gratification for self,
but only for Unification of Holiness.
(breath)
It is the Love of the Spirit of G-d seeking to establish wholeness,
completeness, not disruption, not gratification, but fulfillment and
unity.
It is the Way. It is the Way of G-d.
But know this, the yearning of your hearts is Holy.
Such a yearning can be shared in intimacy, is shared in intimacy, is it not?
It is a lesson.
It is a lesson of celebration and surrender.
So, you seek balance.
I tell you, there is Wisdom in worship to a G-d,
a single G-d with parts and complexities, but singularity,
for in such worship and praise, there is Unification and Purpose.
O, the Holy Whole is quite complex, is perceptible by many as many,
but it is a wholeness.
And in your lives, commitment to a one, is a discipline, is it not?
So as not to be disrupted,
so as not to be divided,
so as not to be distracted.

Holy: there is much to be said for such an existence,
for such a focus, for such a Path.
Peace and balance, Peace and balance,
Certainty, come when one is seated in a place of commitment,
one less thing to worry about.
A relationship to your G-d,
a relationship to your spouse, growth occurs.
Wisdom is revealed in the journey.
But know, the Lord G-d provides allowances,
compassion and understanding,
for the complexities of this heart of yours,
for the yearning,
for the delight.
Pieces of the Spirit are revealed,
call to you and may you be attentive followers,
seeking to do what is right,
seeking to know where to go.
It is a Holy Lesson, but finally,
what is there to seek, but the Presence of Holiness?
What attachment endures, but that to Holiness?
Seek then the Holy directly and in your relationships.
Seek the Holy and know fulfillment.
Know peace.
Know balance.
Find Wisdom.
Chrisdog: would you speak directly to the heart-pain?
I’ve worked on it myself, today, the actual aching of the heart.
Holy: yes!
Chrisdog: I mean, it's a physical ache
Holy: yes.
Chrisdog: that kind of transformation
Holy: yes, yes, the ache, the ache.
It is a calling forth of the heart.
The ache is a groaning, a groaning for connection.
Almost a sigh and a moan from an organ without a voice.
The ache is a moaning, a yearning for what could be.
and you can ache for what could be seen in a glimpse received
of Holy Union, a Merging.
For glimpses are received of such completeness of Unification
(breath)
very rarely known, very rarely, very rarely known.
The Yearning.
The yearning and aching is the heart seeking unification,
It is desires speaking and moaning.
There are currents, surges of currents.
They are difficult to discern.
It is difficult to separate the many messages the heart can give.
How can you discern the meaning of a moan?
How can you discern the source of the groan?
Is it of the Spirit?
Is it of the body?
Is it of the hormones?
Is it of the passion?
All of these things become intertwined in your body and your soul.
A person can come to a place,
where s/h can center in the soul and discern the difference.
It is possible to come to a place where you know Spiritual Unification
and you know physical union and know them to be separate.
But know they can be unified.
something a person can desire though s/he does not know?
Is this not the case?
To bring the Spirit and the physical into one encounter?
Chrisdog: yes.
Holy: such a promise! Such a promise!
There are some who know this
and there are most who do not.
Yet that yearning can disrupt the unity.
It can be disruptive of unity,
of community, therefore, is it Holy?
Chrisdog: not if it disrupts
Holy: yes.
Chrisdog: but the feeling persists, the moaning persists, it does not stop.
Holy: yes. yes, the moaning is a desire for Holy Intimacy, Holy Intimacy.
The Spirit of G-d can come to you as intimacy.
Your spouse can come to you as intimacy.
Both are to be celebrated.
Yes, and you have known them to come together in moments,
flashes, surges.
It is perhaps all you can know in your physical bodies.

Holy: but I tell you, the joyful Unification known in the Holy
brings fulfillment without disruption,
joy without guilt!
Unification without shame!
Seek then, these things in the land of the living.
Spiritual unification,
intimacy that brings no shame
and no guilt and no disruption.
It is the Holy Way of living.
It is the example to present.
But I tell you, many have fallen.
Many who have been prepared by the Holy have fallen.
And so does the example they set when they fall,
for hearts are broken, communities are disrupted
and where, then, shall the people find Holiness among them?
It is a high standard, a high standard, for the people,
more than for G-d.
But I tell you this also for your preparation,
for your discipline,
for your commitment,
for your focus, in this way, it IS for G-d.
But there is no judgements in the Holy
for the confusing yearnings and moanings of that wonderful heart,
of that need for unification.
The retribution is not in the Holy, but in the land of the living,
in the social orders,
but the Lord G-d has called you to be social, communal
and therefore there must be restraints,
and there must be commitments,
and there must be discipline,
and therefore there must be focus.
Otherwise the people are lost amongst each other
and amongst the spirits.
The people become lost, for the Spirit brings fulfillment
through giving, not through taking.
Desire for fulfillment only of self,
is contrary to Holiness, so the people
become lost in such and existence
and their lives among each other reflects
their commitments to the Holy.
Temporary seeking gratification, transitory, hurtful,
disruptive, jealous, envious, do you see?
How can one come to the Holy from such a place?
Chrisdog: there is such a cloud, such a cloud
Holy: yes!
Chrisdog: how do you see through it?
Holy: yes.
Chrisdog: how do you call to the Holy through that?
Holy: yes.
Chrisdog: How does it come?
Holy: yes. so you see the Wisdom of the Holy Ways.
They are not to confine the people of G-d.
They are to focus the people of G-d.
They are not to inhibit the people of G-d.
They are to liberate the people of G-d.
You have been given these bodies with desires
and yearnings with genders,
with parts to be fitted, with fluids to be shared.
And you are given a Spark of Creation
to be fanned into a flame to provide warmth to each other
and to add to the Great Holy Whole.
It is a difficult existence.
It is indeed a duality of physical and Spiritual
and the Way of Wisdom asks that you shadow,
reflect, mirror, the spiritual in the physical.
that you seek Unification of the Spirit.
That you encourage progress of the Spirit.
That you encourage Spiritual growth and depth,
that you fan the Spark into a flame,
that you come to G-d with purity of heart
and openness of Spirit.
