Hello Gloria and All,

This is my understanding of the key to a mind that's congruent with the heart:

In the process of writing my book on the theme of connecting within, I learned that when you connect to your heart and soul, the left and right brain become better connected. Once you connect within and use those inner resources, meaning follow through on the urgings within, a balance between the left and right brain begins to be restored, which allows the two parts to work together better. This then creates a balance between the linear and the non-linear, between logic and imagination, between the male and female aspects within. With this balance, instead of internal struggle there’s inner congruence, there are fewer conflicting messages coming from the mind and inner wisdom comes much more easily. This shows up as inner power—you are no longer easily manipulated by your fears or by outside influences because you have access to your innate wisdom. Also, the heart feels and this heart and soul feeling can override and transform false beliefs held by the mind. Once false beliefs are transformed, the blessings and grace begin to flow from the Universe because your mind no longer blocks them.
Perhaps also when you have this inner congruence, your mind is aligned with your larger purpose in the divine design; you have found your true course.

I don't think you can will the mind to think a certain way--force the mind to do anything and it will rebel or it will just go along reacting to your environment as usual. But if you follow through on the inner guidance, on your heart regardless of what's going on around you, your mind will get the picture and begin to cooperate. And once you begin to follow through and see the results of that, you begin to trust the heart, you know you can count on it so then you'll still the mind of its fears and have inner peace--the key to peace in the world.

The above is my understanding of the process I went through as I connected within—that my mind was balancing itself as I connected, and aligning with my truest self. As strange as this may sound, perhaps chemical or organic changes occur in the brain when the reconnection process is activated. During my own process, I experienced a high concentration of painful headaches for several weeks in a row, which was something unusual for me (well it was also true I was under some stress…) During those headaches, thoughts of some sort of balancing taking place in my brain kept popping up. Once I thought I was reconnected, the headaches immediately disappeared. At the same time, I noticed fewer conflicting messages were arising from my mind. And as I worked on my third draft, I forgot what it was like to have so many conflicting messages coming from inside. My mind doesn’t chatter as much anymore. In fact, there are many times when I wait patiently for my next thoughts: what will I think of next?

This I believe is the key to discovering your creativity, your blessings, your innate wisdom from all your inner spaces, superconsciousness, humanity's potential, Oneness. But it doesn't come easily--you have to follow through on the inner urgings regardless of outside pressure or personal considerations. That takes courage and fortitude. But we are divine beings are we not? And isn't part of our purpose to discover that we are these divine beings, that we are capable and courageous and much more than we think we are?

This is just a small portion of what I learned while writing my book Life is a daring adventure. In the book I actually tell the story (a personal narrative) of what I did and give practical information and methods used in my journey. What's interesting is that I wrote it as I was learning it (I was prepared for doing this by the Counsel of Light) so I tell the story of that, the details and everything, and the crisis in my personal life that compelled me to do that. So you could also say that crises in your life can be keys to your inner gifts and to your divinity--probably one of the faster ways to get there.

This is why I'm so excited about listening to the heart--it's the key to everything.

Love,
Christine Hoeflich

Hello Gloria,

I suppose I was saying that it's wonderful to have a balance and connection between the left and right brain. The right brain is not superior to the left and neither is the left superior to the right. For a mind to function optimally a balance is necessary, and this balance is achieved by the process of connecting within and processing through.

There is a lot of conventional thought in the world that the left brain is the problem and the ego needs to be subdued and willed but I don't think that is accurate or that it works. That I suppose is my issue, and it is not you but so many who think this way. And because this is a forum I bring forth my thoughts about this inaccuracy. I think the way to creative wonderful thoughts is connecting deeply within and having a balance. I see a lot of creative inspiring thoughts in heavenletters, inspiring the best in people and I am in awe of God's responses, especially when God answers an individual going through a deep problem or a crisis. But the left brain has its functions too, sharp thinking has its merits--it's interested in what works. And since this balance between the left and the right (between the heart and the ego if you will) is what I wrote about in my book, I'm interested in furthering the cause for balance.

Hope that clears up the misunderstanding.

(Hope also that the engineers of the world embrace the artist within and the artists of the world embrace the scientist within.)

Love to you always,

Christine Hoeflich

Hi Gloria!

I totally get it when you talk about balance in your outer life--Years ago I was being myself--exploring different ideas about religion, taking workshops, moving to Europe to work, you know a lot of brave things. My sister who lived with me after college told me I needed more balance in my life. Balance seemed to be everywhere--in the media, health ideas, what to eat, etc. and I was turned off by it. Forget balance, I just wanted to be me.

What I mean here is having a balance within. According to many new age thinkers today, the mind and the ego seem to be the problem to everything. I disagree. I think it is much less of a problem than an issue of balance. I've read several books that insist on controlling or forcing or willing the ego or mind to think a certain way. But that doesn't work too well, especially in a time of severe crisis, which many people find themselves in today.

I found myself in a severe crisis just a few years ago. There was no one or nothing that could help me, so I went within, I connected to that deep space within me and went into the void--that was the purpose of the crisis I guess. During the time of crisis my mind would race all over the place but I found that going within and connecting to my heart helped a little. Then after some time, after finding my inner voice and listening to it, I began to see results. I listened to this inner voice even though it went against my family's expectations. My husband, mother, in-laws, siblings, children (now aged 7 and 10), many friends--they all thought I was doing the wrong thing. They let me know this almost daily. I felt totally alone and on the brink of insanity. After all, in the midst of a marital and "career" and financial crisis, when someone embarks on writing a book because beings in another dimension ask you to and you are not a writer but an engineer and you don't have a writing background or publishing connections who are you going to get support from?? (My situation was actually hilariously funny and crazy.) I had really no one to support me on a daily basis except for my heart. And as I struggled to hear its message and follow through, I saw after some time that I began to get results. I started to trust the inner messages and my heart. I started to trust myself. I felt inner joy as well as had many sychronistic experiences and signs from the Universe show up, almost daily in fact. And when I started to trust my self my mind then BEGAN TO CALM DOWN. (Makes sense, doesn't it?) It wasn't so scared anymore. This is when I noticed the things about balance. So then what did it do??--My mind came up with the most beautiful explanations as to my process and practical methods for doing what I did. It came up with the formula for experiencing flow in all areas of your life, not just descriptions and examples of flow but a simple method for flow--so that others could do the same. My book began to flow. My mind also put the pieces together so I began to make total sense of my life--not only who I was but also who the other people in my life are. I'm talking about my specific soul origin, back to the beginning of time. To one of the archangels--the one that was most misunderstood. And who the soul of this archangel was 2000 years ago as well, which will be very interesting for humanity to find out. Sort of turns everything we thought about certain bible stories upside down, and shows that God has more of a sense of humor than we think! And in the end, the story sets humanity free.

That's why I say that having this balance within is the way to superconsciousness, to the next step in humanity's evolution, which is certainly going to happen but it will take something from us--it will require us to find out who we really are in a deep experiential way, not just academic. The other thing is--I'm an engineer but I wrote my book as a story, as an interesting personal narrative, with humor and metaphors and poetic prose, and the learnings are woven into the story--a great way to learn the material. And all this happened easily because I connected with my purpose for being here.

So I have something totally new--you might even say a new genre of book--the Counsel of Light certainly did--and I want to share it with others. I want others to have this. In fact I have nothing else to do as this is part of my specific soul plan. I wanted to share it with you but I am aware that when one door closes, another opens somewhere else.

Thank you so much Gloria,
Blessings to you always,

Christine Hoeflich
