  1. What size is your heart-hole? The heart-hole may be defined as the reality of spiritual incompleteness. Lecture # 5

  2. What size is your heart-hole? Nearly any defense mechanism can help in its measurement. The larger the gap between what you would like to do and what you actually do, the larger is your need to be filled. The more you rationalize to avoid responsibility for your behavior, the greater is your need and appetite for filling.

  4. What size is your heart-hole? The more you attempt to compensate & excel in non-spiritual areas to fill what essentially is a spiritual hole, the more urgent is the passion for filling. (6) The more you assume responsibility to fill the hole, the more emphatic the lust is to fill it.

  5. What size is your heart-hole? (7) The more you act like your own savior, your own deity, the deeper is the hole. The sonar evidence shows up everywhere. Your penchant to self-deification in grounding the solution for the heart-hole in yourself also reveals the vast dimensions of your spiritual need.

(8) The self-deification phenomena can be explained further as: * your pursuit of self-recognition in self-promotion, self-obeisance, & self-worship; * your wish to predict, control, manipulate, & alter the future; * your desire to control, manipulate, & change others;

  10. What about the depth of the heart-hole? “We can measure the width of the human heart-hole, but we don’t know how deep it is. You can’t see bottom, but it sends back an echo. The hole can’t get wider, but it can get deeper. It is immense, but it is not infinite, and while you can’t see the bottom, it reverberates. The sonar bounces back and shows how deep, how empty, how needy it is.” ~ Ramesh Richard, Mending Your Soul, 29-31.
