Harmony

This is the advantage we human beings have over the other mammals: Their brain and heart are on a single plane, but we stand erect, living in two planes at once.

We have a mind above, looking up to the stars, and from there all things begin. We have a heart below, pumping life into the mind's vision and drawing it down into the real world.

When the mind and heart work with this harmony, they make a wonderful pair. When their roles are lost, they create an acrimony worse than hell.

Comment on 'Harmony'
there are tall animals (living & extinct) whose brain & heart plane are separate as human beings, eg. living animals: giraffe, apes, horse, tall birds - ostrich, heron, brolga, stork, etc., & extinct animals: many dinosaurs; to name a few that instantly spring to mind.

you may have to come up with a different analogy.
