In general, the heart seems to have a more reliable memory for what benefits the psyche than does the head, which has a rather unhealthy tendeny to lead an 'abstract' existence, and easily forgets that its consciousness is snuffed out the moment the heart fails its duty.
In his work, C.G. Jung discusses the relationship between the heart and the mind, suggesting that the heart holds a deeper, more reliable connection to our emotional well-being. He implies that while the mind often engages in abstract thinking, it tends to overlook essential experiences that nourish the psyche, thus leading to a disconnect from our true emotional responses.
Jung warns that the mind's abstraction can result in neglecting the heart's vital role in consciousness. He highlights that when the heart fails, so does our awareness, emphasizing the importance of emotional intelligence and the heart's ability to retain meaningful experiences that enrich our psychological state.
