Instantly my head started disproving the silly sign, although my heart's wisdom understood with compassion what the person was trying to communicate.
A 'good heart' infers that one could have a 'bad heart' - I would say the true heart is only love, which is only good, and one can have an open heart or one that is closed, blocked or clogged with shadow emotions and pain- attempting to keep them from feeling vulnerable and unsafe, but severely limiting their experience of JOY in life.
If life sucks when you have a good heart, it is worse when your heart-space is filled with rotten energy, for the weight of the pain that one holds whose heart is closed and heavy with shadow emotions (fear, sorrow, anger, judgment, jealousy, envy, etc.), is too much to carry, and the burden of holding onto all that pain, too much to endure; it causes one to behave in ways which show how wounded they are.
The ONLY way to heal wounds is through tender love and care, an awareness and acceptance of the wounded energy within self and the other, followed by taking ownership over that energy- seeing it as part of you instead of OUTSIDE of you, because you can't decide what to do with something that you don't own!
And once you have accepted it, unconditionally loving it, forgiven the energy, self and the other, because you decided your health and happiness were more important than holding onto that anger, fear, sorrow, judgment, etc., then you can CHOOSE to learn its lesson and release it all.
By doing this it will be integrated into your being, one less shadow aspect that exists hidden within you, one less monster goblin causing you heartache and pain- all so that you can finally SEE it and love it. Because even our monster goblins serve us, our light and our shadow exist to help us see all that we contain within that we are not aware of.
And it is through our Awareness that we are Freed!
As to too much love, there is never too much love, for it is a healing energy. The pain arises when we attach expectation and our happiness to how others act or do not act.
For when we place our happiness in the hands of others, we risk them dropping it. It is OUR happiness and so it is OUR responsibility to maintain it. By basing it on another person's actions, we put ourself in a dangerous spot, for we CANNOT control others, nor should we try to, it's futile! When we try to limit another and their expression, with it comes their resentment and hostility, whether it is apparent or hidden; this shadow energy grows and festers in the space, and is highly destructive to the relationship.
If one truly LOVED too much, they would LOVE it all (the pain and the pleasure), and when one stops resisting, judging or living in fear, afraid of mistreatment, one would cease to draw those kinds of experiences into their life, and they would not trigger those energies within another. And if they did, they would use that moment to express the love they are, using the wisdom of love to help one more part of themselves or others to truly heal.
Anytime we experience something in our life, whether it is happening around us, to us, through us/because of us, it is because of some similar energy WITHIN US!
We are all mirrors to each other, reflecting back all the energies we contain that we are not conscious of (that we cannot see and own as our own).
Our Challengers and Our Friends are all helping us to become the TRUTH of who we are, Conscious, Whole, Loving, Divine Beings, through helping us to see all those pieces inside us that need our love and acceptance, and we help them to see this in themselves too!
No matter how much pain or heartbreak you have endured, please keep shining your love on yourself and all you come into contact with. The pain takes us to the places within that we need to hold and love, those parts in us that we need to tell them how amazing we think they are, how grateful we are for all they have done for us, and that they no longer need to wear those masks of pain, that they are free to be the LOVE they truly are. Because all aspects and energies within only want to be LOVED for what and who they are, to know they don't need to be anything else but what they are, to be loved by us.
As we do this, and the tears flow and the healing shows,
we feel our heart stretch open even more!
Don't limit the power in your heart to create a life worthy of your greatest dreams- don't limit your love and capacity for joy, don't limit yourself!
All my love, Jamie Ferry
