Why Open Hearts

The Symbol of the Heart

The physical heart is delicate, even fragile; and yet, at the center of our being, it powers the pulse of life. The spiritual heart, as the wellspring of divine truth, has an unlimited capacity for wisdom and love. It is a perfect altar for the Christ, Who remembers the Creator in the child of God. As a symbol of Love, the heart reminds us of our Source, and our desire for true and holy relationship.

Why Open?

To open the heart is to awaken to an inner reality that calls from the deepest recesses of our being to be known and experienced. Opening the heart is the work of looking beyond the conceptual paradigm of our small mind toward an understanding of our meaning and purpose in Spirit. Opening is a decision for defenselessness, honesty, listening, acceptance, trust, forgiveness, patience and sharing. Our small human life may then be broken open by Love, and through Love realize the Kingdom within itself. The Foundation of Open Hearts recognizes awakening as an endeavor of joining, flowing from the union of all hearts in a journey to One Source of eternal peace.
