THE JOURNEY OF THE HEART

Usually we go to school to acquire something we don't already have. Your School isn't like that. You attend this School to find what you already have within you.

This is a school of the heart. The journey of the heart is a journey of acquiring not more, but less. Acquiring less has nothing to do with material possessions, name, or fame. We do not take the inner journey to please the ego that always wants more of everything, but for the heart that IS everything.

As the Italian poet Antonio Porchia reminds us, "In a full heart there is room for everything, and in an empty heart there is room for nothing."

The outer journey is traveled with the mind. Traveling with the mind means learning a lot of useless things that are not true anyway and then living as though they are. Things of the mind pass away with time. Wisdom is older than time.


The wisdom of the heart cannot be learned; it can only be revealed.

The wisdom of the heart arises as a deep inner knowing; a feeling; a conviction that cannot be disputed.


Your School awakens the Wisdom already within you.
