I am sure all of you have experienced those wonderful "heart moments". Those times when you feel nothing can harm you, when nothing is beyond your reach. It is in those moments that you can forgive, accept, and reconcile. A "heart moment" happens when you have absolute clarity about what is going on inside of you and around you. Actually the "heart moment" may last several hours or on rare occasions, days. Those are the times when your heart is in charge, clearly directing the mind, emotions, and physical world. You can move forward or patiently wait. All is right. Because most of us seek and long for a heart directed life, but lack the will power to stay focused on that intent, this book introduces you to synergy. The word synergy is thrown around a lot these days, but it is not generally used to its fullest meaning. The full scope of synergy goes as far as you are willing to let your heart go. If you can resonate with a small group and have synergy, why not take it up a notch and resonate with all the people on the planet who are being their true essence, or being in their heart. This high level of vibration not only gives you more of what you need, but also provides the support to maintain a heart space. This is the type of synergy that will be talked about in this book. Being in a heart space simply means you are allowing one of the qualities of the heart to be present in you. All the qualities of the heart are available to you but not all are claimed. For instance, Patience is a quality of the heart that is often times claimed by mothers. To be a good friend you need to claim such heart qualities as Kindness, Gentleness, Clarity, and sometimes you may even need Strength. The list of heart qualities is almost endless. (Several are listed at the end of the book.) The purpose of our life here on earth is to claim these qualities as our own. They are our birthright, our gifts from God. Once we claim them, we can empower them through expression.
Let's go back to the example of Patience. You can claim it and allow it to become strong in you. It is however in expressing Patience, because you have claimed it as yours, that you resonate with others who also have claimed Patience. You then have stepped into synergy, and Patience has become big. It is like having Patience flow from you and join with all the Patience in the world.
What is the difference between strong and big? Strong means you can access a particular heart quality well, while big means you are that heart quality. It has become part of your repertoire. You don't have to reclaim it every time you use it. There is now a permanent space for that energy in your being because you have joined it in the big God space of synergy. You now don't just borrow Patience by bringing it into your small space to use. You become a part of that particular heart quality in the whole universe.
