A full heart.
For the past few days since leaving Estella I have been thinking about my experience there and what Jose Mary was trying to tell me; " A full heart, a full camino, an empty heart, an empty camino". What did he truly mean? And what was my lesson here? " You are not here just to walk the camino-to arrive in Santiago. You can walk anywhere. You need to connect with your heart. That´s what the camino is all about", Jose Mary said. Ok, connecting with my heart and filling it up....if I undertand what it truly means I have definitely filled a big part, if not my entire purpose of the camino. So I´ve been pondering these words for the past few days and I am starting to make sense of it. In other words, I think a full heart is a heart that is operating fom love and an empty heart is one operating from fear; from one of the many faces of fear. When we operate from love we refuel our energy, but when we operate from fear we drain our energy. (Worrying is a simple example of how fear drains our energy.) So what will it be? Love or fear? In any given situation we have the power to choose our thoughts and look for the positive aspect of it or lessons to be learned from it, thoughts that leave us feeling good. or at least at peace. A full heart is not always joyful and happy, but rather at peace with reality as it right now, undertanding that there is a universal perfection behind it all. And that is where I believe faith comes in, trusting in the universal laws. It is also the same concept as the laws of attraction and the frequencies of energies. We attract to us the same energy frequencies that we send out. So we can choose what we want; we are the creators of our realities; good or bad, conscious or unconscious. That is why a full heart will create a full camino and an empty heart will create an empty camino. Thoughts become things and I need to choose my thoughts wisely.
