		<description>It has been said that logic makes a better servant than a master.

In terms of a logical, provable state of knowledge we would do better by combining logic with the wisdom of the heart.

Medical science now reveals that the heart is composed of 60-65% of neuron cells. It is an intelligence centre but it does not solve problems through logic.

A logical intelligence centre cannot fathom eternity. The brain goes &quot;tilt&quot; and renders some broken concept of what eternity is. The heart has a connection with eternity and knows, in its own way, what eternity is.

The heart knows that eternity cannot be put into words or explained in any logical fashion that does not fall short.

The heart relates to eternity as an experience, such as &quot;love is eternal&quot;, which is not a concept that can be explained or proven. We know in our heart what affinity is and we know it does not need to be explained.

The best things in life are free.

Our consciousness, our emotional satisfaction, our belonging and loving and our giving and sharing all have more value than most of the stuff we want to analyze and prove.

Never mind proving the seat of consciousness, but enter the inner awareness of consciousness and you are connecting with the human soul.

To know a thing does not require logic. In fact, we know more from experience than we will ever know from a concept.

Theories are conceptual constructs and they exist in the mind, and the human soul (mind &amp; consciousness) plays with these concepts with relish. But, providing proof is a material exercise and it tries to reduce everything to a material existence.

A virtual reality, such as the contents of a web page, cannot be proven. We do not accept (if we have any brain cells) the content of a web page as being proof. It exists in a virtual reality and the cup of coffee it shows you is a concept. We no longer look for proof on the web because the web cannot deliver proof. Instead of looking for proof we look for &quot;truth.&quot;

You read what I say and you don&#039;t know if anything I say has truth. You certainly can&#039;t find proof, so you look elsewhere on the web for other arguements as you search for truth.

In the end we all come back to accepting our own belief as to what is the truth. Some will rely on logic, others on experience, others yet on third party reports and experiences and in the end we form our own belief. 

Who is is right and who is wrong?

It doesn&#039;t really matter. We believe what we choose to believe and one belief is as good as another for that purpose. And if one belief is as good as another then why choose a belief of limited value?

Why choose a belief that requires material proof? Why choose to be small through proof when it is limiting by excluding all aspects of a belief that does not fit the conceptual construct of material existence?

I believe I am sick! Or, I believe I am strong! Neither belief requires proof in order to garner most of our attention, and yet choosing one of those beliefs is far more potent than any proof to the contrary. In a case such as this it is more a matter of having a change of heart than it is a change of mind.

Do you need proof that someone loves you before you can love them? Do you need proof that your gift of charity on a street corner is going to do some good? If we waited for proof we would not have much of a life.

When you weigh proof against having a life it comes up way short and even when proof proves itself it does not enrich our lives. It merely satisfy that analytical pert of our brain that wants to judge everything and create cubbyholes for all it finds.

If you love theories and finding material proof of existence then the love you have for your chosen quests are far more important than the actual proof you may find.

The best things in life are free. Love a little, love a lot. The rest is just exercise, and you can love the exercise, but let&#039;s not take proof too seriously. Especially because it feeds the ego more than it feeds consciousness.</description>
