Your heart is a palace. Furnish it as palaces are furnished.
No rough stuff. All refined furniture. Only items worthy of a palace are kept in your heart. Anything not worthy of a palace
does not belong in your heart and is not kept. Only worthy items are kept. Everything in a palace is spic and span. At any moment of night
or day, a palace is presentable. Visitors are welcome. There is nothing to cover up in a palace. A palace is a beautiful place
to be. If your heart has been a hut or a shed stuffed with old useless
belongings, clean out your heart. Let fresh air in. Anything not useful is not used and nor is it kept. For what reason would
something old and useful that has outlived its day be kept? In the palace of your heart is a chest of jewels. No palace
worth its salt would have a jewelry box with paste jewelry. It would have only what belongs in a jewelry chest in a palace.
What dross would you keep in your heart? Old tiaras made of glass? Perhaps once such a tiara fit you. It is rusty and old
now. Now you keep only the real thing. Reserve the treasure chest in your heart for real diamonds and
silver and gold, emeralds and rubies. A true gem takes up no more room than a scratched-up unusable dime store piece of jewelry.
Why not keep in your heart what belongs in your heart? Surely you must have known that your heart is a palace, and
that your heart is meant to house kings and queens. Only royalty in your heart from now on, beloved. No longer have riff-raff
of emotions in the palace of your heart. Riff-raff would be hard feelings that do not belong there. When your dander is up,
get it out of your heart. No longer cram your beautiful heart with what does not belong in it and never did. When you have anger in your heart, resentment, grudges, dismay
etc. it is a sure signal to clean out your heart. Leave plenty of space for love, for I will fill your heart with love. In
fact, I already have. The truth is your heart is love-filled to the brim. You stuck little etchings of varied what-not in
your heart. You thumb-tacked them there. You excluded some people from your heart. You may have occluded whole sections of
the population from your heart. Be universal, and do not lump people into a pile of refuse. In addition to being regally furnished, the palace of your heart
is to be open at all hours and in all seasons. Your heart doesn't go fishing somewhere. Your heart is always on the job. The
purpose of your heart is to house love and nothing else. A heart is not to judge, nor is your heart to house records of offenses.
Certainly not. Do some spring-cleaning in your heart. Get on your hands and
knees, and scrub that grime out of your heart. Do a thorough job. Make your heart shining and spotless. Now, your heart is to remain open to love. Let in to your heart
only that which serves the Universe. You might say: "God, but how do I do that without judgment?" How you tell is by how you feel. Your heart doesn't like it
when you fill it with gossip and criticism. Your heart very much wants to keep only love, yet your heart has to do the bidding
of your mind. Have a good talk with your mind, and ask your mind to send only uplifting messages to your beautiful heart. |
