The heart is unconditional. It naturally opens and expands every focus that you take on in your mind. And due to the unconditionality of the heart, people repeatedly confuse self-centered concerns with apparent matters of the heart. But how do you recognize the true matters of the heart?
There are various characteristics of the often very subtle difference between egoistic actions (strategic mind) and intuition (common sense):
Physically, you may notice how your breathing becomes faster and shallower when the strategic mind takes over. However, the skin (sweat or rash), joints and organs can also react with abnormalities and show symptoms because individual areas of the body are perceived in the mind as separate from the body as a whole. The energy tends to be in the head. Mentally, there is a weak focus or strongly ambitious goal-oriented thinking. On a subtle level, we can perceive that pressure, efficiency and impulsiveness are at play. The strategic mind always works as REACTION to the outside world and it reacts with stored memories or conditioned expectations. The strategic mind is always preoccupied with what it wants or does not want in order to be comfortable.
Common sense doesn’t necessarily want it to be pleasant, because it loves adventure. If we let common sense take the lead, then we experience a feeling of SATISFACTION and INNER PEACE; we enjoy or celebrate the moment. Another characteristic is that time seems to exist in abundance, like a time without time, as eternity. Common sense knows no lack of time. He AGED out of the fullness of deep basic trust.
That actually sounds a bit romanticized, because abundance is not a state of peace and happiness at all! In abundance, nothing is excluded and so we encounter an incredible amount of (OWN) DYNAMICS and WILDNESS. But if we learn to think and feel in natural cycles and cycles, then we can perceive ourselves more and more as part of the immense abundance.
This is the experience of the SONQO travel group currently staying with Ángel at the Rio del Madre in the Peruvian jungle and learning about the spirit of the animals, plants and the jungle. By the way, a group will be going there again on September 24, 2023 — will you be there too? HERE you will find information.
SONQO’s non-profit project “PACHAMAMA CACAO SYNTROPICO PERU” also helps cacao farming families to relearn how to interact with the original dynamics and wildness of the jungle in a trusting and sustainable way, and thus to exploit the full potential of this abundance for the quality of their products. By the way, a delivery of Pachamama Cacao has just arrived in Switzerland 🙂 and there is also Maca again, as well as a new CACAO LOVE BUTTER of 28 grams for sensual body care, sexuality or for the kitchen. And here’s how to order your Cacao HERE long.
We greet you with a full and happy heart – Angel & Aline with the SONQO team
