Do We Dare Keep Our Hearts Open?

by Zen Gardner
Funny how things evolve in the pursuit of truth. Were emotional beings. Thats why the matrix makes
everything out to be so cold and scientific.
When I watch certain movies or musical presentations or see a touching human moment I get emotional. I
cant help it. People are emotional, Im emotional, and I feel them
When we stop feeling were through. Empathy is what separates us from the reptilian mindset that is
destroying humanity and our planetary home. We must never be like them, consciously or subconsciously.
Why Feelings?
Like you, Im just observing and empathetic. It often hurts but it feels good at the same time. Its the stuff that
life is made of and we need to feel alive and not be ashamed of it.
We just need to connect. Its fundamental. I dont listen to a lot of music as it affects me so strongly. Especially
unknown tunes, I dont trust them. Same with movies, I dont like to be overwhelmed or taken places without
my permission or knowing the purpose. But, like you, I still do at times. And sometimes its a great experience,
or at the least a good learning one.
Way more important is the drama of life itself and what is playing out in the world around us. How do we react,
or should I say handle our reactions? Do we agree to shut down our empathy for those who are suffering or in
need? Do we just stand idly by and suppress the natural outrage that tries to surface when we see cruelty and
injustice all around us?
Are those kinds of feelings prompts from our consciousness that need heeding and expressing instead of
suppressing?
I think we all know the answer to that.

Keeping Our Lights Burning and Chins Up, In Spite of the Outlook
There are a lot of choices each of us make everyday, like our diets and other habits and their eventual
consequences. The bigger challenge is our thoughts, emotions and resultant actions. And in the world we live
today, a lot of very unsavory news is coming at us all the time and it takes its toll. It can get us down and
discouraged if were not careful.
The good news is were always potentially in control and can take the reins any time we see fit. We just have
to raise our consciousness levels and respond accordingly.
I know, easy to say. But its true.
When I look at the horrific effects of DU (depleted uranium) on the children in Iraq and Palestine (and I make
myself lookwe need to see it for what it is) and the white phosphorus dumps on innocent Palestinians, or
the long term Dow and Monsanto chemical warfare deformities of the violently assaulted Vietnamese
population, or see another autistic child knowing it was induced by vaccines, my heart goes into overload.
You dont want this reality in your world.
The rows of coffins (many lined with or simply carrying drugs from Afghanistan, dont be fooled) of sacrificed
American young men and women returning from an engineered deliberately unwinnable war arena makes me
nauseous as well.
Then you get into chemtrails, GMOs, Fukushima and the rest, never mind things like mind control and ritual
abuse, and you can really lose it.
But Im not going to close my heart. In fact, I need to do the opposite.
Theres strength in empathy.

The Agenda is to Desensitize
Feelings are powerful motivators. Theyre also transmitters. We cant afford to shut down, no matter what the
barrage of degrading information the PTBs throw at us. Thats why information and knowledge are so
important. When you understand the who, what, how and why its happening you can intelligently distance
yourself from the wrong type of impact and maintain your conscious awareness.
But its OK to let it hit home. It is grievous, and thats part of our experience here. We also know theres much
more beyond all this that keeps us bouyant.
They say many nurses become callous having seen so much suffering. They no longer feel as they once did,
they think they cant afford to. I dont know, it wouldnt be easy seeing that kind of suffering day after day. But
getting hardened is another thing.
Much of the World is Traumatized
Remember that whole countries live in that condition of seeing suffering constantly. How would you like to be
an Afghani, an Iraqi or a Libyan, watching your people be slaughtered and the world around you trashed by
people saying theyre saving you? How would you like to live in Iran or Syria knowing youd done nothing
wrong and the bullies of the world were spreading lies about you and threatening to invade and destroy your
nation and possibly your family?
Meanwhile the terrorist charade continues its march subduing whole populations through media fear
campaigns and staged terror events. Even those not at war are suddenly also in the arena with phantom
terrorist bogeymen around every corner to justify fascist clampdowns.
The reality is the bad guys are the ones pointing the finger at the innocent whom they want to rule. At home
and abroad. A total and complete lie and reversal of what the world is being told.

We Cannot Succumb
We have to keep our loving touch. We have to keep our sense of humor. We have to keep our sanity in this
wicked, insane environment.
While all reason has been turned on its head to give us this Orwellian nightmare, we cannot succumb to their
barrage of twisted lies, inferences, intimidations and tricky false assumptions and deductions. We must stay
alive and awake.
We cannot sleep like the masses whove refused to see the painful truth. Ours is to see, feel, express and
empathize.
True consciousness cannot do otherwise.
And wise, loving actions that make a difference will naturally follow.
Keep on daring to love.
Much love, Zen
