Heart Strings for Good

 While playing my string bass along with a worship song, without having the sheet music the thought came to research heart strings. Below is what A.I. says on the topic. One article says to cut ones heart strings, when felt the pain or tug can be real. Today even learning principle which say to detach the we must be reminded the word of God says "I am love". That tug is a guide and we should endeavor to follow it even at the risk of operating on the fringes of relationships. What was the original intent of mankind? Only God knows the answer. Follow those heart strings!!! Mantra: Peace, love and beauty. - A.T. Yoda Brooks

"I am love" is 1 John 4:16

'The "spiritual relationship of heartstrings" refers to the symbolic connection of our spiritual self with emotions like love, compassion, and longing, often described as a divine or soulful pull that resonates with our innermost being. In Christian contexts, it can be the Holy Spirit's intervention to guide a person's conscience, while in other traditions, the heart is seen as the seat of wisdom and the path to a deeper spiritual connection. The term also evokes the anatomical heartstrings (chordae tendineae) as a way to connect the physical heart's function to its profound symbolic meaning in our emotional and spiritual lives. 

Symbolic & Emotional Connection

• Soulful Resonance:

  .

  "Heartstrings" symbolize the deep, unseen parts of the human soul that are stirred by emotions, particularly those of love, sadness, sympathy, and longing. 
• Emotional Trigger:

  .

  When something "tugs at your heartstrings," it means it evokes a powerful emotional response that is central to your personal experience and feelings. 

Spiritual & Religious Meanings

• Spiritual Conviction (Christianity):

  .

  The phrase can describe a divine intervention where the Holy Spirit "tugs" at a person's heart to awaken their conscience and lead them toward a transformation or a deeper understanding of their spiritual state. 
• Spiritual Heart:

  .

  Various spiritual traditions view the "heart" as more than a physical organ; it is the seat of deeper intelligence, wisdom, and the potential for divine illumination. In this sense, heartstrings represent the connection to this deeper, spiritual core of a person. 
• Path of the Heart:

  .

  In mystical traditions, the heart is the "doorway" to spiritual awareness, where the emotions and feelings of the heart lead to a deeper intellectual and spiritual understanding. 

Link to the Physical Heart 

• Cordae Tendineae: The phrase is a direct reference to the physical structures in the heart called "chordae tendineae" or "heart strings". These anatomical strings help the heart's valves function properly, and the phrase uses this physical function to symbolize the profound emotional pull we experience.'
