The art of the genuine is a subtle practice. There are energetic fields of compassion, understanding, appreciation, valor, forgiveness, and humility that surround the human instrument–every human instrument–like a cocoon surrounds a soon-to-be butterfly. These fields are the energetic equivalents of First Source’s4 imprint upon the individual soul. They exist in our world of form as coherent oscillations within the broader, inter-connective energetic fields of the multiverse, what Lyricus teachers refer to as the Domain of Unity. Together these fields are often referred to as divine love–the energetic “blood” that circulates throughout the multiverse–sustaining all life forms both temporal and immortal.
The individual more efficiently and effectively accesses these fields of intelligence (virtues of the heart) through the activation of genuine feelings. It is not a matter of the mind or intellectual reasoning. The mind follows the leading impulse of the heart in matters of virtue and the attitudes therein. Practicing the art of the genuine is magnetically attracting these fields of intelligence into your consciousness and then expressing them in your behavior and actions to all forms of life that cross your path every moment in time and every centimeter in space to the best of your ability.
This is practicing the art of the genuine, and when this is done, your feelings become more divinely inspired, more energetically magnetic, more liberating for all. The essential truth of behavior is to not forget your divine link and co-creative abilities with First Source, despite the enculturation of society. But if you forget, the essential action is to remember and rebuild this link, and this is done through the virtues of the heart.
As you can see, there are two main components to this practice: drawing in the fields of intelligence that surround you, and expressing these emotions and attitudes in your behavior and actions. What most people do is to express their emotions without drawing in from the fields of intelligence that surround them–without “soaking” in the divine love that surrounds them at all times in all circumstances. Thus, to practice the art of the genuine, your feelings must be drawn from the energetic “well” that provides you the linkage to First Source and the potential for co-creative expressions. This linkage has existed as long as you have existed. It is not newly created. Perhaps, instead, it is newly forgotten.
If you visualize this diagram and place yourself in the center, imagine that you are attracting the heart virtues into your consciousness and expanding the link between you and First Source as you do so. You are clearing the pathways to receive the genuine feelings of these virtues into your consciousness as new patterns of intelligence and new expressions of behavior.

You are clearing the pathways to receive the genuine feelings of these virtues into your consciousness as new patterns of intelligence and new expressions of behavior.
This visualization can be done anytime and anywhere, and it will help you identify the wholeness of this link. Our linkage to First Source is not only based on compassion or forgiveness, it is based on six virtues and while these titles or names are like shells of their true meaning (from the energetic perspective) they approximate the manner in which each of us is enfolded with the spirit of First Source. Part of this practice is to see your understanding and comprehension of these names or descriptions expand and shift as you practice and exercise your imagination.
There is a mutual transfer of intelligence that occurs in this practice and it will guide you over time as it becomes more unified. It will deepen and broaden your understanding of these virtues and how they can be expressed in new ways–ways that perhaps you have not even imagined. Be patient with this practice. The art of the genuine is called an art for a reason. It is not rational like mathematics where you have symmetrical energy input and output. You are opening your consciousness to a field of intelligence that surrounds you at all times. You are attracting this intelligence into your three-dimensional life as a co-creative force. This co-creative force is potent, dynamic, and miraculously intelligent. It will observe your practice before it will emerge to merge.
This merging of your consciousness with the Domain of Unity is called many different things in the world of form. But whatever its name, practicing the art of the genuine quickens this merging. It is a discipline for those who wish to exercise their divine memory and enhance the relationship between themselves, their fellow beings, and First Source. In this enhancement, the field of consciousness that surrounds you magnetically draws the new radiations that are being brought to the planet into your microcosm of life. You can play with these new energies as new elements within the co-creative process just like an artist when they receive new colors onto their palette.
The six heart virtues are given to each of us from our Creator so that we in turn can express them–as faithfully as we can–to our fellow beings. That is the purpose in our relationships as simply as it can be depicted in language. When we place our attention on these virtues we are beginning to practice their expression even as we think about them. When we imagine their fullness–their energetic structures–we are practicing them at a new, more potent level. The practice is not just expression; it is contemplation and study as well.
You might wonder why Love is not among the six virtues. Just as sunlight, when it passes through a prism, becomes a multicolored spectrum of color, so does love, when it passes through the Domain of Unity, become the heart virtues. Love is the deepest structure in the multiverse. It passes through all dimensions of existence and fields of consciousness until it finds the imprint of First Source crystallized in a form of life. If the form of life is sentient, composed of both mind and heart intelligence, love will channel itself in the virtues of the heart and enter the consciousness of the individual entity kindling its link to First Source until the time when the entity– sheathed in a human instrument–reawakens to the clear eye of soul.
The six heart virtues blend with one another and form the bond of love that fuses sentient life in the Domain of Unity, and their shadows, though relatively weaker, bond life in the lower dimensions as well. When adversaries, accusers, tempters, or hardships enter your life they can capture your attention, pulling it into the enculturation of the social order, away from the genuine feelings of the heart virtues. This occurs to all people to varying degrees.
Practicing the art of the genuine will enable you to regain and reset your emotional balance with an adeptness that may surprise you. The heart virtues are magnetically powerful because they are the textures of divine love–the most potent force of the multiverse. When you practice these virtues they pull you from the enculturation of the social order and place you in a position of co-creation–not co-reaction. The vast majority of people are practicing the social order and submitting to the rule of co-reaction. Emotions are flaring up, simmering down, flooding the mind with fear, ruling the body, and generally making life more difficult for all. Moreover, the sense of mastery that one achieves in the state of co-creation with First Source is lost or substantially diminished. In this state of co-creation, real or imagined, the heart is enlivened and exhibits artistry in relationships, knowing intuitively how to navigate without co-reaction.
4 First Source– First Source is a consciousness that inhabits all time, space, energy, matter, form, intent; as well as all non-time, non-space, non-matter, nonenergy, non-form, and non-intent. It is the only consciousness that unifies all states of being into one Being. And this Being is First Source. It is a growing, expanding, and inexplicable consciousness that organizes the collective experience of all states of being into a coherent plan of creation; expansion and colonization into the realms of creation; and the inclusion of creation into Source Reality–the home of First Source.
