To find our true heart is to find our dark side too. The heart is not all bliss and goodness. An opened heart reveals who we are in all its fullness. Sin (the error of missing the mark) is the choice to act out our dark side – what Carl Jung calls our shadow.
Our work is to turn from sin, that is to repent and make amends. Then we commit ourselves to act from choices that lead us to act from light. Our mistakes
motivations.
Even our faults become honey in the hive of our hearts.
How do we deepen our hearts as well as open them? We increase our capacity to love others unconditionally This inclusiveness makes letting go of fear a spiritual practise. We cannot do this alone. It requires Grace. The belief that. if we dont do things ourselves, they wont happen, leads to a sense of emptiness. Grace is the gift of God that expands and and extends our love and virtue beyond what our ego is capable of on its own – Robert B Clarke, The Sacred Heart of the World
