Also an ancient times was that the soul/spirit was located in the gut, the center of the body. The Greeks had two locations, the mind/psyche the eternal life soul, and the heart which controlled the emotions.n ancient times it was the belief that consciousness, the soul, was seated in the organ of the heart.
Rather, they are speaking of what is going on in the soul/spirit. The brain provides information, but unless there are two sides of the brain and it is an organ that argues with itself, there is something more within us that decides or chooses the assortment of information our brain provides.It is now known that consciousness, the soul, is seated in the brain. So in scripture whenever they are speaking about whats going on in the heart they really are speaking about whats going on in the mind. There is no separate heart that is conscious of anything. Everything people think, feel, dream about, desire, all lies, deceptions, greed, etc., originates in the brain. Every action is preceded by thought, whether good or evil. To lose your soul is to lose your mind.
