InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
July 8, 2024
The focus for today is:
I choose to do as my spirit, my heart, directs.
Today's inspiration was written by Dery Dyer:
The eyes of love are the eyes of the heart. They offer a secret escape route from the prison of our brain-boxes—a way to connect directly with the essence of everything, with no interference from our so very limited “rational” vision. For most of us, the eyes of the heart offer a new way of seeing.
As John Perkins recalls, Shuar elder and shaman Tampur told him the following: “Do as your spirit, your heart, directs. Thinking is fine when we have to figure something out... But when it comes to most things in life, the heart has the voice to listen to, because the heart knows how to follow the advice of the spirits. So I listen to my heart a lot.
“Your heart is part of the universe. If you listen to your heart, you hear the Voice of the Universe. . . . Great wisdom is spoken every moment by the Voice of the Universe. You only need to listen. Your heart is always listening. Crossing your hands over your heart may help you to remember.” Slowly he raised his hands and laid them across his heart. Do this sometimes. [John Perkins, Shapeshifting]

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
Rediscovery – Seeing with Our Hearts
Written by Dery Dyer.

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of taking action on what your heart is suggesting you do (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: The voice of the heart is the voice that recommends the loving choice... sharing not hoarding, loving not judging, being kind not being mean, etc. etc. We always know, deep down in our heart, what the loving choice is - it could also be called the choice that leads to a "win-win". It is up to us to choose it and act upon it.
Our focus for today: I choose to do as my spirit, my heart, directs.

The Return of Collective Intelligence: Ancient Wisdom for a World out of Balance
by Dery Dyer.
Drawing on recent findings in New Paradigm science, traditional teachings from indigenous groups, as well as sacred geometry, deep ecology, and expanded states of consciousness, the author shows how the ability to think and act collectively for the highest good is hardwired in all living beings. She explains how to release ourselves from enslavement by technology and use it more wisely toward the betterment of all life. Underscoring the vital importance of ceremony, pilgrimage, and initiation, she offers ways for us to reconnect to the infinite source of wisdom that fuels collective intelligence and which manifests everywhere in the natural world.
