Talk 205.
Mr. Cohen had been cogitating on the nature of the Heart, if the `spiritual heart' beats; if so, how; or if it does not beat, then how is it to be felt?M.: This heart is different from the physical heart; beating is the function of the latter. The former is the seat of spiritual experience. That is all that can be said of it. Just as a dynamo supplies motive power to whole systems of lights, fans, etc., so the original Primal Force supplies energy to the beating of the heart, respiration, etc.
D.: How is the `I-I' consciousness felt?
M.: As an unbroken awareness of `I'. It is simply consciousness.
D.: Can we know it when it dawns?
M.: Yes, as consciousness. You are that even now. There will be no mistaking it when it is pure.
D.: Why do we have such a place as the `Heart' for meditation?
M.: Because you seek consciousness. Where can you find it? Can you reach it externally? You have to find it internally. Therefore you are directed inward. Again the `Heart' is only the seat of consciousness or the consciousness itself.
D.: On what should we meditate?
M.: Who is the meditator? Ask the question first. Remain as the meditator. There is no need to meditate.
