The Third Heart

Having the ability to vibrate through a whole range of frequencies is essential for a teacher or for anyone who wants to be able to properly connect with others. You need to be able to attune yourself to your company – vibrate sympathetically – otherwise you wont be on the same wavelength. This has nothing to do with having interests in common, although if you have this ability then you are likely to be naturally interested in others. As a teacher, having attuned yourself to the student (stuck to them), you can then take them somewhere more interesting (for you). When you connect properly and well the connexion itself will have a unique vibration and you’ll both be learning and benefiting. When you leave each others company the connexion continues to vibrate, and if it’s strong enough and you both remain open to it (consciously or otherwise) then heart energy from each of you will feed it in absentia and keep it going until you meet again, when it will feel as though the relationship has developed whilst you’ve been apart. The heart will stay in touch. This would be an enlightened approach to relationship: one for whom heart felt and heart giving are all important. Everyone has such connexions, usually with close family. An ignorant approach would be to enjoy the togetherness whilst it’s there and then forget it whilst it’s not (moving from sensation to sensation): Saturday night out with your mates. An evil approach would be to manipulate the relationship such that the other gives into it and you receive: an energy vampire.

A good connexion is a living entity in itself, the heart of which we call the Third Heart (the first and the second being yours and the other’s). This is why, after making love properly, it feels, whilst you’re both lying there in each others arms, that there is another entity present that the intensity of your togetherness has created and nourished, and which now nourishes both of you. It has been a creative experience rather than just a pleasurable one. The magic of connexion is that it gives to both connecting parties – energy is seemingly created – you both go away feeling better. Love always passes through a third heart. This is why some people are very difficult to love – you may really like or fancy them but if there is no real connexion, no third heart, then in a sense there is nothing to love. Such people have often been thrust into a state of disconnexion through early abuse: they associate connexion with pain. In a sense we are all in such a state to some degree - we could all be better connected. Thankfully such people often have a pathetic air about them that encourages feelings of sympathy – your heart goes out to them – so hopefully some good hearted person will eventually have the patience and the perseverance to bring them out of their shell. Things tend to sort out and come right in the end. However, things also have the knack of settling into a steady state of mediocrity – a middle ground – so to achieve the truly extraordinary requires great effort – swimming against the tide. It is so important to strive to be better than average, and so difficult to achieve, everything around conspiring to drag you back. Personally I feel strongly that the only sure way out of the mire of mediocrity (which is really the same as the mire of self) is to believe in something beyond yourself and through that yearning to find great teaching.
