3. HPB ON THE HEART • In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says, “I am the Ego seated in the hearts of all beings.” H.P.B. says in her article “Psychic and Noetic Action,” that the heart is “the organ par excellence through which the ‘Higher’ Ego acts.” 

4. W.Q. JUDGE ON THE HEART • W. Q. Judge, “Where, then, is the subconscious mind? And where are the channels and how are they connected? I think through the heart, and the heart is the key to it all, and the brain is only the servant of the heart….” (Letters That Have Helped Me)

5. BEAT TO BEAT VARIATION • While the rhythmic beating of the heart at rest was once believed to be monotonously regular, we now know that the rhythm of a healthy heart under resting conditions is actually surprisingly irregular. These moment-to-moment variations in heart rate are easily overlooked when average heart rate is calculated. Heart rate variability (HRV), derived from the electrocardiogram (ECG), is a measurement of these naturally occurring, beat-to-beat changes in heart rate. – Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., Director of Research, Institute of HeartMath.

8. BIOELECTROMAGNETIC • Human fibroblasts fibrosarcoma cells • Evidence that clinician’s coherence can change the physiology of patient. • No evidence we are vulnerable to other’s incoherence. • Is evidence that heart rhythms of one person can influence the brain waves of another.

9. TWO DESIRES • The desires and passions, therefore, have two aspects, the one being low and the other high. The low is that shown by the constant placing of the consciousness entirely below in the body and the astral body; the high comes from the influence of and aspiration to the trinity above, of Mind, Buddhi, and Spirit. This fourth principle is like the sign Libra in the path of the Sun through the Zodiac; when the Sun (who is the real man) reaches that sign he trembles in the balance. Should he go back the worlds would be destroyed; he goes onward, and the whole human race is lifted up to perfection. W.Q. Judge, The Ocean of Theosophy, pp. 46-7

10. Kama Deva Kama is the first conscious, allembracing desire for universal good, love, and for all that lives and feels, needs help and kindness, the first feeling of infinite tender compassion and mercy that arose in the consciousness of the creative ONE Force, as soon as it came into life and being as a ray from the ABSOLUTE. – Theosophical Glossary

11. CATACLYSMS AND THOUGHT William Q. Judge’s Aphorism # 30: “Karma operates to produce cataclysms of nature by concatenation through the mental and astral planes of being. A cataclysm may be traced to an immediate physical cause such as internal fire and atmospheric disturbance, but these have been brought on by the disturbance created through the dynamic power of human thought.” Path Magazine 1893

12. THE NEW AGE • What should concern you is that this prophecy of a coming enlightenment is echoed in virtually every faith and philosophical tradition on earth. Hindus call it the Krita Age, astrologers call it the Age of Aquarius, the Jews describe the coming of the Messiah, theosophists call it the New Age, cosmologists call it Harmonic Convergence and predict the actual date. – Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol p. 509

13. KAMA MANAS/BUDDHI MANAS • The brain appears to be the channel for duality (Kama Manas). The heart a channel for spirituality (Buddhi Manas). • These concepts are significantly reflected throughout the Theosophical literature. Theosophy planted many seeds in the world which are rushing forward in today’s world at incredible speed. The work being done at HeartMath represents this expression. Their suggestions of positive feelings of love, compassion, and care for our planet found in the Global Coherence Initiative reminds one of a concept found in Hindu and Theosophical literature of Kama Deva.

14. DESIRE NOTHING • Kill out desire; but if thou killest it, take heed lest from the dear it should again arise. • Kill out love of life; but if thou slayest Tanha1, let this not be for thrist of life eternal, but to replace the fleeting by the everlasting. • Desire nothing. Chafe not at Karma, nor at Nature's changeless laws. But struggle only with the personal, the transitory, the evenescent and the perishable
