In Unity of the Heart, Peter Borys presents a multidimensional mystical anthropology and transformation that forms a spirituality of the heart. A heart-centered consciousness opens the way to living a new vision of mystical transformation and spiritual creativity. The new vision of the transformative journey is where we live from a transcendent consciousness as expressed in our embodied life of relationships, intention, creativity, and work in the world. The book supports our pathway to experience the meditative awareness, relational self-giving, and intention of the heart-based consciousness. Within the heart, we can seamlessly express our nonlocal and nondual mystic self as a community of being within the physical universe.
The developing spirituality of the heart unites the sciences and the mystic way of being as part of the evolution to an enlightened humanity. Within the new vision of the journey in the universe dimension, personal transformation to the true self in Divine unity participates in the evolution of consciousness, culture, and society. This evolution will transform us beyond the inertia of the duality of the knowledge of good and evil that conditions our ordinary fear-based consciousness. The new way of being and creating moves us beyond the conflict, separation, and control of fear and into infinite unity of love and creativity. Our awareness will shift to the Divine light in the unity of the heart. This peaceful dynamic unity is our human destiny of the mystic self.

This book draws on the wisdom of the mystics such as Augustine, Aquinas, Bonaventure, Gregory Palamas, Teresa of Avila, and John of the Cross, with the insights of contemporary psychology. By weaving in recent knowledge from the sciences as part of the mystic way of transformation, we gain a deeper understanding of how a fear based consciousness and culture has wounded the emotions, mind, and body.
The book presents a way of enabling our transformation through human action and grace to be more accessible within our present culture. The new vision for healing and transformation provides a bridge for more persons to reach higher levels of authentic transformation in divine union. In this way, it assists our continued transformation to the true self in Christ to which we all seek.
