20. Your True Path

Principle

It is not worth setting out on a path that has no ‘heart’. This path leads to a complete dissonance between the heart and the mind. You will experience a feeling of uneasiness in your gut, uncertainty, and frustration. On the one hand, it looks as if you are doing everything right and yet, on the other hand, your subconscious tells you that things are not right at all. When a path ‘has heart’, you will feel it through and through. When you go your own way, you have the incomparable feeling that everything will turn out just as you want it to. It gives you a calm, characteristic confidence. Go your own way, on which the soul rejoices, and your mind rubs its hands in glee. If you intend to find your true path, there is no doubt that you will find it.

Interpretation

When you start living for yourself and doing what you enjoy doing, everything else in your world will catch up to comply with your path. It is all very simple. When heart and mind are in harmony, everything else automatically falls into place. When they are not in harmony, for example, when the heart is asking for something and the mind is afraid, it is important to act cautiously and prudently. Listen to your heart, but remember that you live in a material world, which is not always capable of adapting to your desires instantaneously. Of course, it is not hard to walk away from a job you hate but if you are afraid of being left without an income, do not expect a miracle. If you use the slides technique, you will be able to find any kind of work you want, be it in another city, in another country even, but without reliable support at this stage, you will be too anxious to practise the technique calmly. Never burn your bridges.
