“Fludd always identified the solar disc with the human heart, the center of the soul, and hence the arbitrator between the fires of intellect and the waters of biological instinct. In so doing, Fludd was following the precedents set by the natural symbolism of alchemy and Kabbalistic philosophy, and other forms of traditional cosmology, where the heart, as the seat of life, is regarded as the microcosmic reflection of the life-giving Sun.[1]”
Just like the ancient Greeks, Fludd noted the connection between the intelligible and visible existence. Mystical traditions have for millennia offered practices to open and activate this Intelligible, Solar Heart, using the tools of meditation, visualization, Sun-gazing, intonation and breathing techniques. For aspirants wishing to learn such a meditation method without joining an organization, the book/CD set ‘Living in the Heart’ by Drunvalo Melchizedek may be a helpful starting point. For those who practice chakra visualization, the strategy is to connect the third eye to the intelligible heart. The ego personality perceives that consciousness arises from the brain, but that is a relative truth. The brain as the seat of reflected consciousness can be compared to the moon, getting its true conscious light from the Solar Heart.
