The Wisdom of a Broken Heart

This profound book continues Lars' work on the esoteric message of Christianity and especially on the relationship between Yeshua and Mariam in his books The Law of Light and Gateway of Light. The title comes from a quote by Rabbi Menachem Mendel that there is nothing more whole than a broken heart and that our most challenging life experiences are ultimately gifts from which we can learn and even teach. The eleven chapters travel through key spiritual themes and especially the union of bride and bridegroom and becoming a real spiritual presence on earth that reflects our true nature as a spark emanating from the great cosmic fire. We are invited to wake up and recognise the signs all around us as we tread the heavenly path of awakening. The texts take the form of an angel speaking and quote widely from Gnostic and canonical gospels to uncover their deeper meaning for our time. Our choices shape our lives, as we discover how energy follows thought. Lars gives some beautiful exercises to cultivate presence and awareness and explains the symbolic function of the various energy centres.

The relationship between Yeshua and Mariam is archetypally that between Logos and Sophia - making the two one as specified in the Gospels of Philip, Thomas, Mary and the Beloved Companion. We can be transformed into the one light as these principles work within us, physically embodied by the embrace and kiss in a state of trust and awareness. Lars explains the significance of the texts of the Emerald Tablet and the Robe of Glory - who we are as light beings. However, we still need forgiveness and grace as well as a deeper understanding of our unfolding paths, which Lars also beautifully explains in terms of the symbolism of numbers. The final stage is transfiguration when we manifest our being as light and are connected to each other in the inner Kingdom. This is an exquisite book and the fruit of many years of inner work and deepening understanding.
