Fire and Ice: Flames of the Heart

The flames of the heart, when fanned can bring about great transformation in our lives.  We tend to be open, to be giving and when moved, we can also move mountains with the love we allow to flow through.  Sometimes, however, we freeze.  We have people and certain situations that turn our hearts to ice.  We willingly participate in the event, afraid of more hurt, afraid to be vulnerable.

If you've ever been hurt, you'll know what I'm talking about.  With each piece of your soul that another seems to try and snatch from you, your heart gets heavier and the freeze begins.  Sometimes it becomes just like a rock and then we might think why bother?  If I allow myself to thaw I will only get hurt again.

Stored in our hearts are the memories, patterns and hurts of the past.  We think it foolish if we let them go.  Afraid that we will be "conned" again, hurt again, or taken advantage of.  When people think of Jesus and the way he loved, unconditionally, I believe they have a common misconception.  Unconditional love has nothing to do with being weak, unconditional love has everything to do with inner strength.

Our heart centers, the life center of our being and seat of creation, hold with in it a threefold flame.  It's colors are gold, blue, and pink.  The plumes of the heart must be balanced for us to hold the flames of humanity itself within each twin flame inhabiting earth.  That is the goal.  But many of us mistaken our compassion and humility for weakness.  Our kindness for allowance of hurts and our unconditional love for acceptance of toxic people.  Allow us to explain what the three fold flame really represents.

If we remember, humanity has often spoken about an angel called Michael.  Michael is an archangel and is said to have cast the devil himself out of heaven.  Archangels, as it's told, have never fallen from the grace of god.  They remained at the thrown in service to him and as such have remained in pure love.  But if Archangel Michael is pure love how could he cast the devil out?  Shouldn't he have forgiven him with love and compassion for stealing people's souls or possessing them?

That would be like us throwing our arms around our abusers, telling them it's OK, you only hit me a few times or hey, it's not like I died from your blows; at least not yet.  Make sense?  Not really, does it?  The only thing we do in this situation is put ourselves in more danger and subconsciously tell the abuser his or her behavior is OK.

What does make sense is the inner flames that the brotherhoods of light have talked about.  The balance between the the flames of pink, gold and blue, are also the balance of love, wisdom and power.  True power is given to those like Jesus who have learned to master the heart energy.  To be able to love with wisdom and have the power of miracles knowing it is not their work, but the work and energy that flows through them from the father.

So what is love?  Love is the all pervading energy of the universe.  The stuff that makes us who we are, and that gives us the feeling that we need to protect our newborn baby.  It moves mountains, heals planets and walks quietly among men and women.

Wisdom is the willingness to learn.  To be open to possibilities, to know when to set boundaries for ourselves and others and to not make the same mistakes again and again.  It is consciousness in action.  Readily available to look at any given situation with open eyes and see things and people for how they are, and not what we wish they were.

Power is the manifestation of fires glowing and love that is allowed to flow through the heart.  True power yields to love, begs for compassion and is upright in stature.  It is the fruit of the father and given to only those who have earned it through the balance and purification of the heart center.

So when you decide if you wish to have a heart of fire or a heart of ice, remember;  We are not defined by the deeds others do to us, what they may call us, or how they define us;  We are how we respond, what we allow into our lives, not what only passes through our hearts.  This is wisdom with love and the true power of the soldiers of love.  Just like the archangel Michael.
