THE BATTLE BETWEEN HEART AND MIND

THE 3 LEVELS OF FREEDOM

AND HOW LIVING IN THE ABSENCE OF THEM FUELS THE BATTLE BETWEEN HEART AND MIND

Life's constant tug-of-war: the battle between heart and mind. A timeless conflict that resonates with every energetic being having a human experience. It is a struggle that encapsulates the essence of our inner turmoil, the contrast between our emotions and rationality. To unravel this contest, we must first overstand that this battle is, at its core, a reflection of the broader conflict between the soul and ego. The battle between heart and mind will exist as long as there is a battle between soul and ego and the battle between soul and ego will continue as long as we are out of alignment with our soul selves. 


Our soul, the very essence of our being, is our most authentic expression. It represents the purest form of our consciousness, untainted by the influences of the external world. The ego, on the other hand, is often a product of societal conditioning, a mask we wear to conform and protect ourselves. The battle between soul and ego is a direct consequence of the extent to which we are in or out of alignment with our soul. To achieve complete alignment with our most authentic expression of self we must strive for completeness and wholeness within ourselves that will cultivate the equilibrium between mind, body, and soul. 


True completeness is the ability to find joy and contentment in solitude, to exist without the constant need for external validation or relationships. It means cultivating happiness from within, rather than seeking it in others. In this state, fears of being alone vanish, and we can embrace our journey of personal growth and spiritual ascension in the peaceful solitude of self. This, indeed, is the first level of freedom. Wholeness, the second level of freedom, requires us to shed the layers of conditioned beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors that society has imposed upon us. It involves reconnecting with our original, unadulterated selves. In this state, we think, act, and exist as our soul selves without reservation, in absenteeism of generational curses and societal programming. There is no hiding behind the mask of ego, no need to conform to the expectations of others.


The third stage of freedom is equilibrium. In this state of being we have moved into a state of complete oneness with our highest level of consciousness. We are fully in alignment with our soul self and this is how we choose to exist. There is a complete balance between mind, body, and soul and the heart no longer is in constant battle with the ego. In this stage, there is a complete death of the ego, in which the ego has completely subsided and remains domicile making your heart and soul the driver of body and mind. 


The ultimate stage of freedom is equilibrium, where the battle between ego and soul is disengaged, and we have moved into a state of complete oneness with our highest level of consciousness. In this state, we achieve a profound alignment with our soul self, rising above the conflict between heart and mind. It's a state of complete balance between mind, body, and soul where the heart and mind are no longer rivals but instead work in agreement. Finding a harmonious balance between the heart and mind becomes effortless upon reaching a state of equilibrium where your discernment is based solely on intuition and wisdom. 


The heart and mind were designed to complement each other, and through the process of healing, growth, and consistent transformation we ascend to higher-level frequencies that transcend the way we think, behave, see, love, and feel. The heart is the seed of the soul that should be well rooted into the base of the mind – so much so that it governs the way we respond to people and situations that we may experience in our everyday lives. The battle between the heart and mind is not a competition to be won but a collaboration to be cherished. It's like a beautiful puzzle with pieces that may not always fit together perfectly, yet together, they create a picture of our unique and remarkable existence. So, let's celebrate this fascinating interplay, embracing the paradoxes and finding our balance, for it's in this delicate equilibrium that we discover the artistry of our lives.
