The Holy Mystery of the Heart
Our Lord Jesus Christ was aware that we wanted to eat fully delicious foods but He thought that it was absurd.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Matthew 6)
What gives life to our body is not the brain but the heart that pushes blood to the brain and other parts of the body. The blood is created in the bones; it is not generated in the heart. The blood carries oxygen and other nutrition to the brain, etc. The heart works without interruption while we are alive, repeating expansion and contraction 100,000 times a day to circulate the blood flow.
So, what gives life to our bodies is the hearts and blood. According a Japanese heart specialist, even the hearts of old men aged 90 or more look fresh. The heart working 100,000 times a day without interruption never gets old. But its cells cannot be reproduced like brain cells. The heart and the brain are still mysterious.
In addition, in any languages, the word meaning the heart also means the mind or the center of sentiment, although the brain is the center of consciousness.
The heart takes oxygen and nutrition from the blood, too. However, it should work with the spiritual energy. Those whose hearts were transplanted from donners sometimes find that their tastes have changed to those of donners. The heart should not have memory, but the spirit of the donner should come to his/her heart transplanted in another man/woman from the spirit world, influencing the soul and mind of the person who underwent the heart transplant.
So, the heart must be a gate for a spirit to the human body, and it turns to be a soul in the brain to generate a mind. With the spirit, the spiritual energy should come into the heart, so that due to the spiritual energy it can work repeating expansion and contraction 100,000 times a day as long as a man lives.
The brain and the heart are the places closely linked to spiritual energy, so that their cells should not be reproduced and changed. This linkage should need stable physical conditions. In religious rituals like in Christianity, procedures have been fixed from long time ago without frequent changes. The place with linkage to the spirit world should be conservative.
So, it cannot be said that everything liberal and progressive is good or holy. I am afraid that the heart of the U.S. is losing its linkage to the spirit world.

Matthew 12, King James Version
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
