Lost Wisdom: Why the Heart, Not the Brain, Thinks ft. Sakib Hameed

The belief that our brains are the sole seat of thought is a misconception perpetuated by modern science. In our latest deep dive, "Lost Wisdom: Why the Heart, Not the Brain, Thinks," we unravel the ancient understanding that the heart is the true organ of cognition. Drawing from the rich traditions of Sufism and Islamic teachings, we explore how spirituality and the heart's divine subtlety shape our thinking and connection to Allah.
It's time we stopped viewing knowledge as mere data to be memorized. Instead, we must see it as a transmission of wisdom that aligns our hearts with divine truth. Maybe it's the entrenched systems of religious manipulation and societal norms that have clouded our understanding. By examining how the heart's noetic function transcends the limitations of reason, we challenge the Western emphasis on the brain as the center of intellect.
This is part II of the podcast series with Sakib Hameed. Part I was about Life in Turkey.
Sakib moved to Turkey to spend time with his Shaykh and there he has been learning about the actual seat of cognition in the human body which is the heart.
In this episode he talks to us about what the Islamic understanding of knowledge and intellect actually is which might surprise many of us
