The Compass of the Heart

What barriers am I putting up which keep me from seeing my reality as the expression of divine Love? It could be anything, so I will notice my thoughts and actions today with this in mind. A number of years ago, I read a novel with an intriguing title: The Art of Hearing Heartbeats. The main character loses his eyesight when he’s a young boy. One of his mentors tells him that the true essence of everything is invisible to the eye. He tells the boy that the eyes distract us, as they love to be dazzled, and that we rely too heavily on them and neglect our other senses — and he means more than hearing or taste or smell. “I’m talking about the organ within us for which we have no name. Let us call it the compass of the heart.” So today I will let barriers fall and intuition rise, knowing that we are the holy reflection of Love.

“God creates neither erring thought, mortal life, mutable truth, nor variable love.”

Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 503:24-25


“You who perceive yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes and devastated dreams, born but to die, to weep and suffer pain, hear this: All power is given unto you in earth and Heaven. There is nothing that you cannot do. You play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you accord it mercy, will its mercy shine on you.”
