ABSTRACT

But now, some of the language of the blood-soul is being recovered and becoming more intelligible. Through new medical technology, Apollonian reason is serving to make the deep language of human nature more conscious. Spirit-soul is beginning to meet with blood-soul as it discovers that the body as well as the mind has its intelligence. Current research is only beginning to decode this intelligence and its laws. But it is documenting scientifically what may have been known for centuries only through intuition, poetic imagination or ‘gut feeling’: that there are systems in the body which communicate important information which needs to be understood for continuing health and growth. Research in emotional physiology and heart-brain interactions is sketching a more complete understanding not just of the way the heart-soul and the spirit-soul interact in individuals, but of ways in which they may operate between people as well.1
