What does it mean to follow your heart?
This video explores the nuanced dynamics of the heart’s openness and closedness, challenging the commonly held belief that having an open heart at all times is ideal. It delves into the heart’s natural rhythm of opening to draw in and closing to emit, questioning what it truly means to have an open heart and the significance of boundaries. This discussion illuminates the intricate relationship between being open and vulnerable to the world’s experiences and the necessity of being closed or guarded.
Josh challenges the binary of openness being superior to closedness, asserting that both states hold equal importance in the cosmic structure and in personal growth.
The conversation further explores the implications of following one’s heart, cautioning against the potential destructiveness of impulsively chasing every desire. Josh emphasizes the heart’s sensitivity and its susceptibility to being influenced by past experiences, which can misguide our attractions and desires. He advocates for a balanced approach, encouraging the alignment of the heart with the “great heart” of the universe, seeking a deeper resonance beyond immediate impulses.
