Today is a very special day for me. It’s the tenth anniversary of the day my heart opened.
That means it was the first day on which I experienced a love that was as far away from our ordinary version of it as a glass gem is from a diamond.
A heart opening (1) occurs when the kundalini reaches the fourth chakra. That in itself is something that’s orchestrated by the Company of Heaven; in my case, Archangel Michael and the Mother. (2)
Let me go over that experience, as well as I remember it a decade later.
It was March 15, 2015. I had a reading with Michael through Linda Dillon in three hours and was sitting at the computer typing.
All of a sudden I felt an energy run up my leg. I flashed immediately on the scene in The Ten Commandments where the pestilence comes down out of the sky, runs up the leg of the first-born Egyptian males, and takes them out.
The pestilence descends, blocking the light of the moon
Then I said to myself, no, I serve the Mother. This must come from her and I relaxed.
Here my description differs from my earliest accounts in that, for a reason I’ve long since forgotten, I didn’t want to say that my heart exploded upon opening.
But in fact, when the kundalini reached the fourth chakra, my heart (not the chakra, but the heart itself) exploded like a 15-inch gun, removing some obstacle, I imagine. I immediately found myself in a tsunami of love. It swept me clean of all worries, hopes, and fears.
Not too long after that, the experience expanded when the river of love broke down the walls of a room I was meditatively situated in, filling the room, and then becoming an Ocean of Love, in which I remained as the sole point of awareness.
Notice I did not cease to exist as a point of awareness, arising as the One. There’s more road to travel.

Michael called the love I was in Seventh-Dimensional. That must mean that the heart is an interdimensional portal. Thus, even though the kundalini only reached the fourth chakra, the opening of the heart in this case led to the Seventh Dimension.
From March 15 until Sept. 28, 2015, I went in and out of a state of “transformative” love. I called it that because it transformed the circumstances rather than being dragged down and shoved aside by them, as with everyday love.
Then on Sept. 28, 2015, I was going down the elevator and for a lark imagined that each floor I went down was a deeper state of consciousness. When I emerged onto the street, I suddenly burst out laughing realizing that I was in a state of bliss. (3)
That lasted, again off and on, until perhaps mid-January and then it imperceptibly slipped away.
***
What’s the upshot? There are so many results.
First, for the first time in my life, I knew what love is. It bears no resemblance to what passes for love in our Third/Fourth Dimension. (4)
Second, I was left with a heart that was partially open and the knowledge that I could draw that love up with my breath, savor it, and then send it on to the world any time I wanted to. That knowledge and that love revive me.
Third, I stopped seeking love from another and now seek it only from my own heart. I am never disappointed.
Fourth, that experience utterly transformed my relationship to the material world. I was never highly attached to what the world offers anyways. But I’m not so slow that I don’t instantly recognize that this love, at deeper and deeper levels, is what we’re all of us looking for. Nothing now competes with it for my attention.
I breathe it up right now and my smile returns.
No experience short of Ascension lasts. But this one leaves me with a survival kit. Drawing love up from my heart restores me for the next round of challenges.
Michael later implied to me that I was given the experience:
Archangel Michael: This occurs, not merely because you have asked for it, but because you (and this does apply to the collective) have done your, can we say, your homework, your due diligence.
What we mean by this is simply, think of it in spatial reality, time and space reality: you have created the space for this [energy of love] to, not only pass by you like a passing breeze or a rain, but to anchor within you because there is a sense of this spaciousness within thee. (5)
As an aside, how many times have I talked about grabbing a wisp of bliss as it passes by you. And is that not what Michael is referring to?
AAM: You have created the space for this [energy of love] to, not only pass by you like a passing breeze or a rain…..
Exactly. Like a passing breeze, like a soft rain, like a wisp that you can climb aboard and surf to the mother wave. Precisely. I thought I might never see a reference to it.
Michael seems to have been directly involved in my having that experience. I conclude from all he says on the subject that we’re in an enlightenment partnership with the Divine. (6)
With the coming of the Ring of Fire, Wave of Love, I predict that we’ll all have the pleasure of knowing this consciousness state and, with it, access to what we’ll discover we’ve been looking for all this time – all-satisfying, ever-restoring, transformative love. (7)
Footnotes
(1) A heart opening is regarded in classical enlightenment theory as the first stage of what turns out to be Third-Dimensional enlightenment. Hindus call it “spiritual awakening.” Buddhists call it “stream entering.”
However it appears to be more complicated than has been discussed. Having awakened the 3D version of the fourth chakra with the 3D kundalini, I triggered the opening of the heart. But then, entering into the flow of the tsunami of love, I immediately found myself in the Seventh Dimension, according to Michael:
Steve: The space that I call transformative love, what dimension is it?
AAM: It is the Seventh Dimension. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Jan. 20, 2016.) (Hereafter, AAM.)
Based on my own experience, I preliminarily conclude that the heart door (or hridayam) is an interdimensional portal.

AAM: It is between eight and nine. (AAM, Jan. 20, 2016.)

(5) AAM, March 13, 2015. He continued:
AAM: When one is clinging to core issues, to fear, to lack, to limitation – you know the list – there is not that sense, not only of spaciousness, but of acceptance, allowance, readiness and even permission. Because as you know, we continually say that we will never override your free will.
So, if the will, either actively or subconsciously, is actually choosing to still engage in the issues or the drama, then although we are standing at readiness and still penetrating you, that open door is not there.
