FOREVER SACRED
Master that you are of your own Soul. Music by Harbors and Oceans "Bliss"
This is yet another in the series of quotes that have emerged over the years, some stretching back decades. This time, however, they are accompanied by a written reflection, a window into the workings of my mind. Yet, I must say, these words did not spring initially from thought, not by a long shot; they flowed from a deeper realm….one that resides within the heart and soul, a place way beyond the grasp of the conscious mind.
“Whatever is held sacred in our heart once is forever held there, once sacred forever sacred master that you are of your own soul." Nigel Lott
These words echo the timeless truth that the heart, the seat of our deepest intentions and spiritual truths, is a vessel for the sacred. Whatever we choose to honor, to revere, to love deeply, becomes a permanent part of our being. The sacredness we hold within us is not fleeting—it is eternal.
To understand this mystical notion, we must first recognize the profound power of the heart. In many spiritual traditions, the spiritual heart (just below the sternum) is a center of energy and consciousness. It is the gateway to the soul’s deepest desires, the place where we commune with the divine. What we choose to hold sacred in our heart becomes a living force within us, shaping not only our thoughts and actions but our very essence.
When we sanctify something….whether it is love, wisdom, truth, beauty, or a higher calling….we are not simply putting it on a pedestal outside of ourselves. We are inviting it to take root within us, to transform us from the inside out. The sacred, once welcomed into the heart, cannot be undone or forgotten. It becomes imprinted on the soul, woven into the fabric of who we are.
This is why we are reminded that "once sacred, forever sacred." The reverence we hold for something, whether it is a memory, a divine truth, or an ideal, continues to radiate within us long after the initial experience. The sacred does not fade….it is eternal in its imprint. Every thought, every emotion, every action stemming from that sacredness carries its energy forward, even through the most challenging times, although our awareness of that inner truth may fade during those moments.
In this light, we are invited to recognize our own sovereignty, for we are "masters of our own soul." We alone choose what we hold sacred. Through our choices, we cultivate the divine presence within us. The heart is not a passive receiver; it is an active creator of the sacred. By embracing that which is holy and pure, we become not only recipients of spiritual grace but co-creators with the divine.
Thus, the invitation is clear: to honor what is sacred within, to keep our hearts open to the mysteries of the divine, and to recognize that in every moment, we are the masters of the sacred space that dwells within us. What we hold sacred in our heart today shapes the essence of who we become tomorrow. So let us choose wisely, and may the sacred always be honored in the deepest chambers of our soul.
