Designating And Exhibiting Holds Beings Apart
Keep Yourself In All That You Perceive.
Naming and manifestation only occurs when a human consciously perceives something apart, something at the drying edge of this metaphorical enduring stream.
For example:
“Take in the glowing crimson color (of a rose flower) and say to yourself, ‘Without me, this flower would have no color . . .” Realize that if you subtract yourself from a sensation—sight, sound, touch, taste, smell—the rose would be nothing but atoms vibrating in a void” (Chopra, 2004, p.30).
Despite all the gleanings that come from the limited awareness of the manifested stagnant pools left abandoned by the enduring stream, and despite the limited awareness of the persistence of personal, social and environmental ills, the limited awareness shows us that the underlying source of our problems does not lie in metaphorical isolated pools of named techniques or in the named things that we do not truly love. Essential cures to pervasive problems—problems that are personal and problems that are ecological—come from the broader consciousness of the powerful, silent, and invisible yet venerable Enduring Stream itself.
The Curative Powers Of Wholeness
While traveling a certain path along the Enduring Stream one discovers that the root of remedy cannot be detached from the whole. Now’s ever-changeable, ever-present, intelligent, attractive, loving and lovable current that I call “The Enduring Stream™” is, unlike the previously mentioned Horseshoe Lake of my youth, too wide to be named and too deep to be fathomable. No man-made bridge, however grand, can span the unabridged flow of nature.
One Trail To Healing, Guiding, And Growth-producing Experiences Is Called The “Heartwood Path”
Too much for words, what I call The Enduring Stream™ is best perceived through experience; which, fortunately for those taking this course, can be adequately described with a careful use of the alphabet. In this course, I will describe the healing, guiding, and growth-producing experiences one can have while following a specific path propelled by the Enduring Stream.
The Heartwood Path is that specific trail. Powering those who traverse its informative sections is the Enduring Stream which is an aspect of the Absolute Spirit, the One. As such, along the Heartwood Path one engages in a divine-human collaboration aimed at helping sojourners find their deep gladness at the intersection of the world’s deep hunger. It takes you and the Enduring Stream to find this place. The Absolute Spirit in the form of the Enduring Stream alone will not do the job. You without the Enduring Stream cannot do the job. As the Pope is to God, those who follow the Heartwood Path become the Absolute Spirit’s vicegerents on Earth. As we all know, eartHearts used to be agnostics, but now they aren’t sure.
