The mind is to rule over the heart.

There is a verse in the Bible that says that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. The heart is not always that way. There are times when the heart can do good things. But often people do bad things because of their heart. They are controlled by their heart.

They rush off and do things because of what's in their heart. At that point they need a mind that can rule over the heart and control the heart. The mind can look at things from a more rational point of view where is the heart tends to deal more with feelings. In one such way by fighting away to control the heart is anytime you have a crisis situation and you are pushed to take some kind of action you just stop and let your mind take over. That your mind tell your heart to calm down, and let's think.

We are not going to take any action at this moment. We are going to think about what we need to do going forward. If there were a more perfect union between the heart and the mind, the mind would be more educated and knowledgeable on how to react in situations. And the mind will communicate that fact to the heart so the heart will understand where the mind is coming from so the heart would understand how to react in certain situations. There is a certain time when you have to act quickly and swiftly without hesitation.

But other times you have to stop and you have to wait and you have to think. The only way you can think is with your mind. The heart doesn't think. It just acts. Being that the heart and the mind are too different components they are both are physical in the fact that the mind sits inside of the brain.

 The brain is the physical and the mind is the intangible. The heart is physical but the heart is also intangible. There isn’t another name for the intangible part of the heart. There's only the heart. So often it is hard for people to distinguish between the heart physical and the heart the intangible.

But you often hear phrases like the heart pumping blood through your body. And you often hear about that person's actions come from their heart. So both the heart and the brain are both physical and they have tangible features to them. And they're two different organs that serve two different purposes. The heart pumps blood throughout the whole entire body.

The brain sends commands throughout the whole entire body. The heart acts and have to keep acting. The heart has to keep pumping blood throughout the whole entire body. The brain constantly sends messages throughout the whole body. The brain tells different parts of your body what to do and when to do it.

 The brain works through the nervous system. That's how the brain sends its messages throughout the body. The heart uses blood vessels to pump blood throughout the body. But yet the brain and the heart has another component to it. The brain has the mind in which the mind is intangible.

 The heart has the intangible part of the heart which is also called the heart as well. Most of our actions and things that we do comes from the heart. Things that we practice over and over again comes from the heart. Once we did these things consciously, but as we get used to doing them, then we just do them unconsciously without thinking about the task. Actions starts from the mind and work their way into the heart the intangible part of the heart that is.

So when we do things that perhaps we didn’t want to do or make bad decisions or we react in ways that we shouldn't react we have to go back to our minds or back to the brains and analyze what type of thoughts that we have. What have we been learning and what has been going into your mind all of the time because whatever goes into the mind the heart is going to pick up on it and it's going to act on it. So the mind has to have total control over the whole entire body and including control over the heart. The heart cannot be the best it can be without the mind. the heart has powers that the mind doesn't have.

The heart can do things that the mind cannot do. But the heart cannot do those things without the influence of the mind. The mind has to be the gatekeeper to show the heart where it needs to go. Therefore your heart needs to be ruled by your mind. So study what goes into your mind.

Concentrate on what's in your mind and make a conscious effort to put the goodness that's in your mind into your heart as to make your heart function better.
