I loved this share so much. Thank you. There was so much I nodded and mmhmm'd along with! Resonance between hearts, heart as the monarch, anger = distance between hearts, giving rise to shouting... lotsa resonance there! I've thought a lot how people with sweet values have been hijacked or fallen for a lot of the 3-word catch-phrasing ie "Build Back Better." IE, when 'bundled' with things they care about like racial equity, sharing and loving whomever, etc. something like the seemingly innocuous "Science is Real" can be tacked onto the 3-word value catch phrase train easily. Like "if I already support these causes with three word slogans, and now this new one is on the same platform, well, it must be aligned and I must align with it." #becauseparty or whatever! Anyhoo, I can really see how folks with good hearts have been trojan horsed into allowing these other ideologies to velcro onto their values system, without even consciously knowing. And to inquire/critique one 'value' or belief could chip away at the whole thing and it sets off alarm bells! heart. closed. shouting. distance. and so on... Thank you for this post. Singing, hugging, nature really help bypass the mind. I think that's one reason why the current organic revival in Asbury, KY is touching so many hearts, bc it's direct communion, rapture, and heart-centered, not mind-centered.
