Serving the heart’s purpose is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and quieting our mind is the key to unveiling   abundant rewards. This prosperity is a natural state of being, however, if we cultivate the fear mentality- merry-go-round, so rampant in todays society the mind becomes the victor and the heart falls behind.

In her book, Love Without End,  Glenda Greene speaks eloquently on the subject of the heart:

 ”What we fail to grasp and appreciate is that genius is not a matter of IQ.  It is a power indigenous to all people when the mind is developed and skilled in serving the heart’s greater calling and insight.”

The brilliant scholar and scientist, Joseph Chilton Pearce wrote extensively about the intelligence of the heart.  He acclaimed the first cells of a human embryo are heart cells and indicates “it is these cells that direct the initial patterns of growth in the fetus as a primal intelligence”.  Pearce attributes the heart as a major center of intelligence in human beings– reporting that “60-65% of the heart cells are actually neural cells” (not just muscles cells as we have learned in anatomy–) “with the same connections as well as the same kind of neurotransmitters found in the brain–linked to all major organs by ganglia.”

Another astounding revelation presented by Joseph Chilton Pearce is also worth contemplating:

”The heart creates an electromagnetic field that extends 8-12 feet around the body and that it is the brain that draws its material from this spectrum of energy field to create our internal experience of the world.”

More and more people understand when we follow our heart, the mind, as second in command has greater power to create what we want most, not from a place of entitlement or control, but from a place of pure intelligence and knowing.  When the mind over-powers the heart, the effects are more limiting because the mind has defining parameters. The mind governed with-out the intelligence of the heart is like putting the body on autopilot–leaving the heart vulnerable to more of what it doesn’t want.

Although science has enormous value, we must take care not to resign completely in calculating our creative experience of life by qualifying intelligence with the mind (brain), and relegating the heart as a subsidiary organ meant only to manage blood flow.  Magic and miracles are born from the expansive and infinite vibrancy of the heart–whose intelligence can never be measured.

The late Joseph Chilton Pearce was born January 14, 1926, in Pineville, Kentucky.  He was a college humanities professor, and later continued his career in writing and lecturing on various themes ranging from child development, mind-heart connection, and in spirituality.  He has written over 12 books. Pearce passed away in August of 2016.
