Getting to the bottom of things seems to be the goal. At least when we are trying to figure something out or figure out who we are. I presume it is because when we get to the bottom there is no further to go. One hopes that all the answers are there but often there are just more questions. Just because we reach the bottom does not mean we have traveled the journey. Penetrating the experience and all the factors involved calls for looking for more than a straight simple answer. Penetrating our lives requires us to go beyond the bottom. It asks us to connect with something even deeper. To move past what we can see into what is happening energetically. As human beings we have more than just our physical senses which provide input and influence on our lives. Tuning into our interoception (sensing what is happening in our body and proprioception (sensing where we are in space and relation to things around us), gives us a penetrating insight into how we are showing up in the world. Then there is the sense of being that comes from our hearts. Penetrating into our hearts asks us to let go of our mind’s inclination to get things figured out and connect with more than who we think we are. God lives in our hearts and is constantly beating through all of our existence with a penetrating love that goes beyond what we can perceive. Allowing ourselves to pause and connect with the energy of our hearts provides a lens of perspective beyond what we think or know as possible.
