With your whole heart

I thought the elevated approach to understanding the words in Krias Sh'ma 'love Hashem with all of your heart' were that since it says with all your heart, and it's a command, it must be it is possible to love Hashem with 'not all your heart'.  And this in effect would not be fulfilling this command.  In addition it also says that we are in fact not 'one'.  By the Torah having to say that we need to love Hashem with all our hearts it must be we are in parts and not one.  

If we are parts then in order to love Hashem with 'all of our hearts' we must have knowledge of the many aspects of our hearts, even the aspects we may not like that much or do all we can to avoid and think about, those parts of ourselves we must also somehow direct to Hashem and love Hashem.  This is what it means when it says 'love Hashem with all of your heart'.  Ie all. All parts, the parts we know, the parts we don't, the parts we like the parts we don't.  The message I took from this understanding was that in order to fulfill Hashem's commands we must have knowledge of ourselves.  Constantly exploring.  That's how we get to all, little bits at a time.

The other idea I took from this was that 'all' is a term that works well in math or in physical things but not much else.  Ie, we will never fully know all of our hearts, so the level of 'all' is always changing, going up.  Meaning that when I know myself now, clearly, hopefully I will know more about me in 5 years.  So the all at that point would be different, it would be more of 'all'.

Thinking about this, after having originally thought about this idea a few months ago, now I see it slightly differently.  When the Torah says 'b'chol l'vavicha', I think it means your whole heart.  It's not about exploring all aspects of your heart as above, in understanding your whole heart it means that the whole thing is accessible in this moment.   In an instant you can experience your whole heart.  How does that work exactly?

When you step outside your normal emotional boundaries, (hopefully will be a separate entry at some point) allowing the concept that Hashem is here and now in this moment, you access a 'whole' world of emotions that were not there before.  The magic is that once you slightly enter this space, its an entirely huge open room of here and now.  Of awe of expansiveness.  When you glimpse into this space you sense the pure beauty of life and Hashem's commandments.  You now can love Hashem with your whole heart.  You are accessing it.

This makes sense.  The commandments must be accessible to all.  Not just the holy or the Rabbinic or the Torah scholar.  But the limitation is that the commandments, though they are accessible to all, you must be willing to 'go there' within yourself if you wish to achieve loving Hashem with your whole heart.  The Rabbi's and the Torah scholars have done the work, through Ameilus in the Torah they have uncovered, dealt with and worked through many aspects of internal life that will provide them the accessibility of this place.

If you have not done this the command is also available to you and it is no further than the Torah scholar, it is simply a road you had yet to travel so the experience may be a little jarring at first.
