How will you define the differences between a “heart person” and a “brain person”?
I am sure that a heart without a brain will not survive, and vice-versa.

the two work together.
les deux font la pluie et le beau temps
heart l’amour
b rain la pluie
et le vice-versa
c’est le gap entre les deux pour l’harmonie.
Heart and brain are two wings of human beings, without one of them or all we can’t fly.
Ha,ha!!! Excellent answer indeed Paulo!
Dear Thelma, The Beautiful Truth!…*
Every time a friend of mine says, “I think,” he unconsciously taps his hand on the left side of his chest as if to say, “I think, therefore I feel,’ or vice versa. To think without the heart defies humanity. To feel without the brain defies logic. Therefore must we all be tied to one and the same?
A “heart person” and a “brain person” = conjoined twins.
When one twin dies, the other follows shortly after.
Hi all,
Thank you Pandora, you have just sent me another sign. The signs are coming into me quite intensely at the moment. I belleve that I am a heart person but I think too much instead of just letting things happen.
Love

I was watching a program about transplants and how memories can be transferred to the person who gains a new heart for example. A leading doctor in the USA has found that the heart has clusters of neurons and brain like cells! This in short means that the heart could essentially hold our memories and could be capable of thought of some sort.. Hence, “My heart told me to write this!”
Unlucky separation.At Start and at Finish we are heart-people(because,either we didn’t get yet the ability of using brain,or..did lost it already!),and ..in..between..we are brain-people.
This quote reminds me of the Wizrd of Oz, (not Id).. :-)
Dorothy walking her path trying to find her way home, inadvertantly kills the wicked witch as she is dropped by fate on top of her, but wants to return home.
Her friends, she meets on the way, the lion = courage, the scarecrow = brain, the tin man = heart.
It took all three, plus Dorothy’s super snazzy red shoes (I love those shoes) along a merry path of adventure.
The right hand brain versus the left hand brain (the creative versus the logical), the heart the home of the soul and the seat of courage.
To follow the Yellow Brick Road, the journey.
(Of course she could of just tapped her feet and wished to go home, but like many perhaps, she learnt a lot on the way).
I think, in some situations, we use the heart-thinking, and maybe in other situations we use the mind-thinking. But we feel more complete when we learn how to use them both.

I heard about people who survived many years without having brains activity, being in a coma, but their hearts still functioned, so they remained alive. Anyway, I have never heard about survivors withour heart activity. If the heart stops, the spirit of the respective being departs and even if the body has brains activity, the person dies. Still, heart and mind should be in harmony, united in divine love to have a balanced and beautiful life.
Those people who use their hearts too much are on the left side, meaning their lives are influenced too much by the past, fear, emotions, guilt, regrets, prefering to be dominated and in extreme cases there are cases of suicide, depression, cancer. Those who use their brain too much are influenced by the right side of our energetic bodies, worry, plan, living in the future, dominating the others, aggressive, bossy-like people and in extreme cases they have heart attacks or Alzeihmer disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. The ideal solution is to be on the centre, the right way, to be in balance, living the present moment joyfully and thankfully.
May God’s infinite love bless the whole world now and forever! :o)
Lots of hugs and appreciation,

Love your answer Savita and you are speaking my language.
(read other posts and that touched me a lot,your words are powerful)
I totally agree that two is one.They can’t work separately.
Yin and yang,queen and king.And yeah the reference of the Tarot..
Nice one Pisces though,mind can be hell at times when heart is trying to repress what it feels.
The Two of Cups,The Nine of Cups but not this bloody Five of Cups no more.I need to practice,it’s a long time now i’m too busy!!Ahhh!
Yes but I don’t think I need anymore answers now(?)Got to go I’ll blog later,rushing,pffff…:(
Dear Pisces,
Your interpretation is really interesting. “The heart makes decisions easily while the mind must analyse its options”.
Since, I can feel it differently.
“The heart makes decision”, so then, we consider, for the bad and the good. As for me, the mental makes decision, unless we are in a passion transition. The Heart and the Mind would be the same thing for me, that carries two words.
the mental could be inhabited by more than one person. What we call schizophrenia. Illness all humans are told to have. Though the Mind is related to the invisible, all things in life that are no material. A kind of essence, we can reach whenever we want, by practising, or sometimes like that.
I guess if we could see this world, we wouldn’t make a step forward, why it cleverly stands invisible.
But I still love the rocken voice of that man that waits… :)
Dear toni j, and Balance achieved: The LIGHT.
LOVE,
Thelma
I’m not sure of what I wrote before. Mind could be more neutral, than heaven or hell. Then, what we make grow from it, is up to our mood. Still the Mind is certainly not hell for me.
The subconscious- the dreamer, and the conscious – the logical

Catherine: I think Tom Waits is referring obliquely to the problems that thinkers come across when trying to incorporate their thirst for knowledge with the doctrine of their handed-down religion – the heart makes decisions easily while the mind must analyse its options :)
This is why we need one another.
Some people navigate through life with the heart, others with the brain. Either tool, if used alone, is sure formula for getting lost. Sometimes, in order to balance us out and imbue us with the other perspective we need someone else to give us feedback – to add a little more feeling, or a little more thought to our actions and choices.
This is why, in the traditional Tarot deck, there is no Emperor without an Empress, no High Priest without the High Priestess to balance him out. For every King of every suit, there is a corresponding Queen. There is the Sun, but the Moon also. There are even characters like the Hanged Man, the Magician, or the Hermit, who seem to stand alone – but there is also Strength, the Star, the World. I once counted them up and categorized them: male, female, dual (a male and female pair on the same card), androgynous. The deck, the traditional deck, is perfectly balanced. Neither heart nor head overpower or take precedent.
This is why I become somewhat flustered when presented with decks that seek to purge the Tarot of its masculine side, depicting images only of women all throughout. I believe the people who create these decks do not see the perfect balance that already exists, between heart and head, feminine and masculine.
Of course I don’t mean to imply that women do not use their heads, or that mean do not use their hearts. I am simply referring to those qualities as “masculine” and “feminine.” Both qualities can be found, in equal measure, among both sexes. As Erich Neumann, a Jungian, once wrote:
“It is in this sense that we use the terms “masculine” and “feminine” throughout the book, not as personal sex-linked characteristics, but as symbolic expressions. . . . The symbolism of “masculine” and “feminine” is archetypal and therefore transpersonal; in the various cultures concerned, it is erroneously projected upon persons as though they carried its qualities. In reality every individual is a psychological hybrid. . . . . [I]t is one of the complications of individual psychology that in all cultures the integrity of the personality is violated when it is identified with either the masculine or the feminine side of the symbolic principle of opposites.”
The point is that, whatever we are not, we need that other polar extreme to balance us out and give us a full and clear picture of life and of ourselves. According to John Beebe, another Jungian, “I find it helpful to think of the anima (the feminine aspect) as the emotional attitude a man takes towards anything he reflects upon….” In contrast, a very text-book definition of the word “animus” (the male aspect) renders it as “The intent; the mind with which a thing is done.”
Of these two aspects of the human psyche, Jung himself wrote: “both archetypes … can on occasion produce tragic results. They are quite actually father and mother of all the disastrous entanglements of fate…. They are powers in the unconscious, in fact, gods….”
Hey Pisces! I really appreciate Tom Waits. But sure I didn’t know he saw things like this. Ok for the heart, but for the mind, I totally disagree. The mind is as well heaven or hell: we’ve got the choice to make it the colour we like. Unless we are enough unsane not to connect to life and “reality” anymore.
But maybe Tom Waits stays dominated by his mind, -what can occur for all of us-, and so he’s speaking about his own mind…
Love.
Ha ha,I see.Always in balance,too much fire just burn all.But,what about a person whis sometimes is sensible,other times sensitive?Is that ok?Or one can be sensible -sensitive in same time?
Marriage works the same: the moment your heart and brain agrees, you know you found the right person!
“The Heart is heaven but the mind is hell” ~ Tom Waits
The harmony in our three bodies. The dialogue, unity, between our two sheres of our brain! The use of our will, based on our brain and our creative energy, the Light, in our Hearts.
LOVE,
Thelma
In Traditional Chinese Medecine, Heart is the “Master” and then come its disciples, or “Ministers”. As for them, it regulates all, and I quite agree with. If Heart is deregulated, so are the other organs. Why I could conclude, a brain is more sane, when heart beats in harmony with good energies.
Love.
