The consciousness which is merely the animal consciousness is made up of the consciousness of all of the cells in the body except those of the heart. The heart is king, the most important organ in the body of man. Even if the head is severed from the body, the heart will continue to beat for 30 minutes. It will beat for some hours if wrapped in cotton wool and put in a warm place. The spot in the heart which is the last of all to die is the seat of life, the center of all, Brahma, the first spot that lies in the fetus and the last to die.” – Mme. Blavatsky, 1987, quote excerpted from The One True Adventure by Joy Mills. Learn more about Blavatsky
“The heart is more than a single pump. The heart is, in fact, a highly complex, self organized information processing center with its own functioning brain that communicates with and influences the the cranial brain via the nervous system, hormonal system and other pathways. These influences profoundly affect brain function and most of the body’s major organs and ultimately determine the quality of life. – excerpted from https://www.heartmath.org/
