Tke Century of tke Heart
"The Heart knows, the Thought denies, is there no other
way?"
— STEPHEN SONDHC/M
Sometimes a book is written that forever changes not only the way we
think about life, but the way we feel about life as well. This is The
Heart's Code. Not only does it open our minds, it opens our hearts. The
Heart's Code is about the gift of life as it is expressed through the intel-
ligence of the heart—an intelligence the brain is just beginning to be-
come aware of.
Our ancestors knew that the heart had energy—a powerful energy—
and that it conveyed deep wisdom. However, as the human species devel-
oped its brain, it began to lose sight of its heart. At this point in history as
we venture into space, create global communications, and invent all sorts
of technological tools and toys, we are poised to destroy ourselves, our
children, and everything around us. Have we simply lost our minds, or
have we lost something deeper? Have we lost our hearts?
