Though all of us live within a world of imagery, we also materialize as a physical body. How does the saying go? We are "fastened to a dying animal." Some of us believe that is all we are: animals making our way through a brutish life. Others of us place our eggs in the basket of imagery. As we imagine, so we are. (The case can be made that even those who believe they are only a compact form of meat that dies are succumbing to a particular set of images.)
Another saying that has been repeated in different ways, the wisdom of our ancestors, is "as a person thinks in their heart, so are they." I have long been aware of the fact that the heart is a much larger brain than the head meat. We think in our heart. As I recall, the heart is measurably 40 times greater in radiant energy than is the little head brain. (See HeartMath.) The two, head and heart, are connected with information and understanding flowing back and forth. They make one unit.
Thus, intellectual cha-cha-cha by itself does not cut it. As a Ph.D. in psychology, a phenomenologist who is a veritable mass of intellect, emotion, and imagery, I can attest to that. Ratio logic (ratio-nality) is only a small part of our intelligence. 75% or more of our intelligence exists in the nonverbal realm.
What happens when our physical heart betrays us and surgery is required? My contention is that our spiritual heart is undaunted and continues on. That has certainly been my experience during this past 12 months.

Green still grows, ripe only rots :-)
