Heart

So where is your heart? I know that we all have a heart and it beats and pumps blood through our body, but where is the heart that is talked about in this verse:

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9
We know that it is not talking about our literal heart. I think it is talking about what we would tend to call our mind in this day and age. And what is the mind? It is not our brain either. This is again the physical part of ourselves. I am talking about the soul, the spiritual part of us that controls what happens in our brain. There is no thing or partical that is controlling our brain. There is nothing that science can point to, no matter how small they can divide and look at the part of a brain, that is the director of the activites. So where is the heart and the mind? I believe that it does reside in our body, but it is our soul and cannot be seen. It can be felt and it can be known, but it takes practice and an awareness of self and God to do so.
Studying the brain we find that there are three distinct parts of the brain. Each has a specific function to help our body function and our relationships work. However, most of us do nothing to understand ourselves and do nothing to understand how we, our souls - our spirits, control the functioning of our body. We are interconnected and we need to begin to realize it.
Over the next few days I will be writing post about how to unlock the secret and science to happiness. I hope you will join me on this journey. It should be exciting and challanging. It will change your life and your relationships if you can practice having the mind of Christ, taking your thoughts captive, and understanding your heart.
Namaste'
