What is the heart?

In the Bible and in our spiritual tradition, the heart is not the muscle that pumps blood through our bodies, nor is it the seat of our emotions. No, the heart is the center of our beings, the place within us that belongs entirely to God. It is that point where the image of God resides within us, where God’s Name is indelibly written. It can be covered up, hidden, neglected, but never destroyed. Because it is the seat of God within us it is the organ of true spiritual perception, the faculty of highest knowledge, the place of direct experience.
