The Coming Golden Age

If you have read my e-book “The Coming Golden Age and How to Prepare for it” you will know one of the subjects I cover is the growing reconnection with the intelligence, the wisdom contained in or accessible through our hearts and the returning balance between this and our head minds.

I was recently sent an article by Renee Levi in 2001 that contributes significantly to this subject. The article begins:

“This paper explores the possibility, now emerging in Western science, that the human heart contains intelligence independent from the brain that can be a source of guidance for our individual lives and for our collective potential as human beings. Using perspectives from the contemporary disciplines of medicine, psychology, and energetics, along with centuries-old understandings of this phenomenon from non-Western, indigenous, and pre-1600’s Western philosophical traditions, I attempt to build a framework for suggesting that beyond the individual physical and psychological health benefits available through learning to listen to heart messages, hearts may be able to communicate with other hearts directly, exchanging messages of empathy, connection, and love that, if noticed and valued, could provide direction for future action toward a different way of living together in the world. Woven into this exploration are the concepts of resonance, vibration, and entrainment, borrowed from physics and applied to the most powerfully resonant organ in our bodies, the delineator of life and death, the human heart. I invite the reader to listen to these words with his or her own heart.”

Then further  on:

“How, indeed, can the heart be considered intelligent apart from the brain? Even discussing this topic in this format necessarily involves the head to decipher these words and their meaning. And given the brain’s unchallenged supremacy in matters of intelligence, how does it feel about sharing power with a lowly pump? A little threatened? I bet.

“Until recently there have not, in fact, been many ways to study the heart and the possibility of a different kind of intelligence contained therein. The heart and brain were connected in the human being, two important components of a dynamic, interrelated system, performing different functions and depending on each other in a fundamental way. With the advent of heart and heart-lung transplant procedures and their increasing use, modern medicine has, inadvertently perhaps, provided opportunities to study the heart independently from the brain it was born with. Working in a field called cardio-energetics or energy cardiology, a small group of pioneering researchers are studying heart transplant recipients willing to share some of their experiences. (Pearsall, 1998). They are exploring the sentient heart, not only from the perspective of how it can inform the brain and body of the individual, but how its intelligence is recorded, transmitted, and connected with the larger fields of energy surrounding the individual, both locally and non-locally. Some amazing discoveries have been made which, I believe, will open new vistas of understanding for us beyond the arena of health and well-being. I think this new paradigm may, possibly, and if we are willing to stay open to our own heart’s messages, provide an alternative way of being in relationship with one another as humans and with the universe in which we exist.

“In his book, The Heart’s Code, Paul Pearsall reports on the findings of his interviews with seventy-eight heart transplant patients and sixty-seven recipients of other organs. What Dr. Pearsall discovered is that in some patients, those he calls “cardio-sensitives”, the new heart seems to bring with it some “memory” of the heart donor. Often these memories are experienced in the recipient as new taste preferences, such as food or hobby interests, language choices such as use of specific words or phrases, or even memories of incidents in the donor’s life. One, very moving, experience Pearsall relates happened at an international meeting of psychologists and psychiatrists where Pearsall spoke about “cellular memory” as it had been reported to him by his transplant patients. One psychiatrist, clearly moved by the findings came to the microphone and spoke as she struggled through her tears.

“Sobbing to the point that the audience and I had difficulty understanding her, she said, ‘I have a patient, an eight-year-old little girl who received the heart of a murdered ten-year-old girl. Her mother brought her to me when she started screaming at night about her dreams of the man who had murdered her donor. She said her daughter knew who it was. After several sessions, I just could not deny the reality of what this child was telling me. Her mother and I finally decided to call the police and, using the descriptions from the little girl, they found the murderer. He was easily convicted with evidence my patient provided. The time, the weapon, the place, the clothes he wore, what the little girl he killed had said to him…everything the little heart transplant recipient reported was completely accurate.”
