This seminar will be moderated by Andrew Flaxman, Director of Educate Yourself for Tomorrow, a Princeton graduate and student of spiritual science for many years.

Woody Allen has been quoted "It's very hard to get your heart and head together in life. In my case they're not even friendly." This course will focus on the obstacles to uniting thoughts with feelings and will include directions to overcome these difficulties.

Deeply ingrained in our minds is that the heart is a pump. Since primary school we have been barraged with pictures and TV advertisements showing the heart as a motor acting as a pressure or suction pump. News articles show pictures of the newest portable implant with headlines such as "A Boost for a Failing Pump." This organ appears to drive the blood through a system of tubes, the hollow muscle that brings about the pressure, the valves that mechanically prevent the backflow, the streaming from places of higher pressure to places of lower pressure. All of this activity clearly seems to speak for the heart as a mechanism, the task of which is to pump blood through the body. There is an oppressive multitude of data that shows the achievements of the heart considered as such and the physiological function of the circulation seems to be no problem at all. Since the heart has such obviously mechanical devices like the valves, what is wrong with this way of thinking that has produced such amazing medical successes?

The common and accepted picture of the heart is nevertheless seriously incomplete as it pertains to healing and medical practices as well as for psychological and spiritual reasons: How can we heal ourselves or have feelings of love and courage with a purely mechanical heart? To a great extent we are what we think we are. We are missing significant truths important for our well-being when we maintain a simplistic image of anatomy and ourselves as Human Beings.

Treat yourself to a practical and inspirational seminar program this spring at the Interlaken Inn, Lakeville, CT. You'll be surrounded up to 21 other people who also wish to discover new insights about how to have much more confidence in thinking with our hearts.
