The Journey Through the Three Human Doors
Esteemed Friend, dear cherished Reader,
In this week's reflection, I want to share something close to the essence of how we live, how our awareness moves through different layers of being. We often believe we are one, fixed identity, yet life keeps showing us that we are many doors waiting to be opened: the body, the mind, and the heart. Each one carries its own truth, its own way of seeing the world.
We live in layers.
Each layer holds a different melody of life, a rhythm that shapes how we feel, desire, and if we still understand or already innerstand.
The first door is the body: our most tangible home.
It speaks in the language of hunger and pleasure, moving between two poles like a pendulum: food and desire, survival and attraction. There is innocence in this rhythm, a primal pulse that belongs to the earth itself. Yet, if we live only here, we remain bound by gravity, tethered to the surface of what we could become.
Then comes the mind: vast, curious, restless.
It builds worlds of thought and imagination, always exploring, analyzing, naming. Through the mind, we discover art, science, and philosophy. We look for truth in words and patterns, forgetting that truth cannot be contained by them.
"The mind always seeks clarity, but existence thrives in mystery."
The mind is the architect, but also the cage. Its questions never end; each answer births another. The more we think, the further we drift from simply being.
And then, quietly, another door opens: The Heart.
The heart does not seek; it receives.
It does not argue; it understands. It doesn't chase beauty; it feels it.
The heart transforms logic into love, thought into tenderness, distance into intimacy. Where the mind calculates, the heart embraces. Where the mind conquers, the heart surrenders.
Where the mind says "I know," the heart whispers, "I am."
"The longest journey you will ever take is from your head to your heart."
When you begin to live from this third space, a quiet shift happens.
You become softer, yet more powerful.
You begin to see that love is not an emotion, but a perception, a way of seeing life as one continuous pulse of divine energy. To move from the body to the mind, and from the mind to the heart, is the evolution of human consciousness.
Each step expands your horizon, each surrender deepens your peace.
And beyond even the heart lies the space of being, where the observer dissolves into what is observed, where there is no polarity, no seeking, no boundary.
Only presence.
So ask yourself:
From where are you living today?
From the hungers of the body?
From the labyrinth of the mind?
Or from the stillness of the heart that holds them both?
The journey begins wherever you are, and it always ends in love.
Until next time, stay close to your heart, and let life speak softly through you.
With warmth and presence,
