Art and Ascension

Nancy Wait, host, interviewing Hannah Thomas, co-founder of Heart Rising (www.HeartRising.com), dedicated to the evolution of the human heart. "There is a space inside the human heart. It’s that silent still place between the heart beats. It is often felt as an emptiness waiting to be filled. No matter how much we put into our lives, it remains empty. No matter how successful or popular we may become it leaves us somehow wanting more. This longing drives us to seek fulfillment. We build structures around it such as religion, philosophy, even our financial economy… sometimes these things bring us to a deeper understanding and sometimes we simply become lost in them. So what is the point of this empty place if it cannot be filled? That silence itself is the point!  There is a joy beyond description in letting go of the seeking and simply resting in that stillness, for in doing so we discover that the emptiness is not emptiness at all. It is a treasure trove of priceless wonder existing invisibly within us. It contains the answer to every question we have ever asked.  It is the breath of our creator, that which gives us life. It is our essence, and it not somewhere “out there” to be sought and found. It was within us all along."
