Hidden in the centre of the Tree of Life
lies the Alchemist's Gold

The 'Spiritual' Heart

The Centre of Balance and Contentment

As long

as there is Heaven above and Earth below ...

As long

as there is a future to be hoped for and a past to be hidden -
feared ..

As long

as there is a Father to the right of you
and a Mother to the left of you ..

You will never find your True Heart ..

For the true Heart can only exist

When there is no above .. nor below ..
When there is no forward .. nor back ..
When there is no left .. nor right ..

The Heart is the meeting point

of Man's Lowest nature rising ..
   where matter becomes no-body
and
Man's Highest Spiritual Nature descending ..
   where spirit becomes no-mind

of the worlds of Time, Space and Form

where the descending Son of God intermingles
  with the ascending Son of Man
and
the ascending Son of Man intermingles
   with the descending Son of God

The Heart is the meeting point

of the highest sacrifice through Death ..
   the agony of total surrender
and
the resurrection from Death
   into the Cosmic Consciousness of the Avatar

As long as Spiritual is seen outside of body

Tiphareth cannot be realised
The Garden of Eden is empty
Shamballah is a dream

The Heart

whose reflection is the Sun
the elemental Refiner's Fire
the Vedic Rudra

and whose symbol is the snowflake which melts
as you try to grasp it in your hand
