0:00.0	So the human heart is a vast place. It is not a muscle that is, you know, keeping you alive.
0:10.3	Your inmost being is part of your amphibious nature. It's the eternal part of you. It contains
0:16.9	your personality, your memories, love, joy, heartache, grief, trauma, it's all in there.
0:24.4	And as you learn to drop in, pay attention to the inner life, commune with Jesus, and gently
