If a person is writing on a forum like this can you as a individual tell if some one is writing from the heart or from the mind.

Example1 If it was but a dream .

Example 2 It was a dream of magnitude.

Which ones heart and which ones mind ?

One "action" of the heart.

One "thought" from the mind.

Which ones heart and which ones mind ?

IF not is there a creator ?

Or does it just come from nothing?.

or is the mind using systems?.

I wouldn't be able to tell just from the words which one came from where by the examples given. But to answer your question I believe that the mind is the interface point for the spirit, as the spirit is likely on a different plane of existence than our physical form. Once example might be a person who is being kept alive by machines, with no obvious brain damage, but still has no notable higher activity. It is speculative, but then all scientific theory starts with observance and speculation. Just remember people used to think the Earth was flat, and the Sun went around us.

I am no linguist, but it seems to me that the wording a person uses would be a questionable indicator as to whether what is said came from mind alone or heart first.

As an example, I am a poet (I really am), and have written on many topics without direct personal experience. Many people would read those works and feel as though I was speaking from experience instead of using my imagination. Therefore the way we use words can only be one of many indicators used to determine from whence the thought originated.

This could also be relavant to something else I have theorized. The spirit (heart) is based in emotion, and gives us our main motivation outside of direct survival needs. The body (flesh) is based solely in the physical senses, and provides motivations based on those needs or wants. Still the mind (brain) is based in logic, and acts as the filter for determining action and can trump either of the previous two. In the end though all three must work together for a person to function well.

Anyway, feel free to ignore me if you think I am just rambling... Many people do.

I will never ignore what comes from someones heart. I will Only ignore what comes from a twisted mind.

Last semester, my English professor said that good writing, true writing comes from honesty and truth within one's heart. Stilted writing, writing that provokes no emotion or thought, stems from not being in synch with your writing. For example, if you were engaging in technical writing for a lab manual or something like that. Unless you were a total science freak, the writing would be unemotional and flat because you are writing with your brain, not with your heart.

Good point Greeneyedgirl. Perhaps being in tune with myself is why I do well with my writing.
