The ways of the heart are multi-layered, like the colors of sediment in an ancient stone, or like the layers of sky that contain mist, clouds, and sun at one location, all at different levels.
Within one layer, we may find our hearts quite open to love, to share, to belong, to give.
Within another layer, we may find our hearts indifferent, detached, drifting - not connected to love's blossom, meant to be shared in each moment.
When we seek unity with others, we must seek it within all of our heart's layers - those that respond easily and those that have more difficulty being open. This is the way unity is created, and this is the way peace and harmony are created - through the more complete joining of hearts and the progressive melting of all separation and fear.
We cannot use words like 'love' and 'oneness' to represent how we feel unless we really feel that way. We may wish to feel that way and that is good. And we may feel that way in a part of ourselves, and that is good, too. But the oneness that calls to us at this time in human history is a oneness of the complete self - body, mind, heart, and spirit, each infused with the light and life of God - each vibrating in harmony with all others.
This is the calling, and we are already on our way as we reach toward it out of our own heart's responding. No limitation shall stand in the way, and all limitation shall dissolve more easily as we bring it into the light of awareness. In this way shall the Earth become one, as the layers of each heart become one in the Oneness of all.

'Layers of the Heart' anchored me in my deep gratitude for what has become more possible for me over the last few months as my heart opened more to love. I move through each day now with profound awe at what is possible. At the same time, I am greatly humbled as I read this writing. There are layers of my heart still dormant and covered over. Thank you, Julie, for reminding me how large my heart is, and for the reassurance that I will know unity one day with my whole heart.
