Your heart is better at everything is a statement we know to be factually true, not just a nice sentiment.

To understand the truth of this statement, we have to take a snapshot of the last 60 years.

This document has been compiled to provide an evidential basis to support our work and claims.

The counter culture of the 60s & 70s was the start of our collective march out of blind, dumb industrial profitering and fundamentalist religion. Individuals took a stand against the giants of industry, government, military & religion. With a flower behind the ear and a soul full of courage, a statement was made: we want to be free.

This flowed into the 80s and 90s with an ever-increasing empowerment of the individual with huge personalities like Tony Robbins & Oprah Winfrey. The message was clear as it blasted through the cassette tapes of millions. As an individual, you can do anything you put your mind to. Why build someone else's dream when you can have yours?’ A powerful message that changed the psychology of the world.

Here we begin the forceful advance into our own minds. Positive psychology, affirmations, developing healthy beliefs, manifestation, and pretending as if we already have our dream life in our minds. We were taught we could change the way we feel about anything by giving it a new meaning. We were given tools of the mind.

‘Your thinking matters; everything in your life starts with how you think.’ We all buckled down and went into mind training.

This, in fact, had a net positive effect on people's lives, without doubt.

In the background under the covers, a deeper and deeper isolation is occurring. A gradual loss of feeling.

We advanced quickly into more mind tools of even subtler nature, creating identities, building our own values, creating our own reality with thoughts, all with the unchecked belief that ‘what we need is MORE thinking.’

Fast forward to now, we are now so mentally isolated and lost that we believe there is a self in our mind that can control reality…. The factual evidence for this is that we live in a world where people are creating all types of identities and believing that laws for everyone should be changed to accommodate them. The scariest part is they’re dead serious and will happily get violent in the process.

This is mass overuse and misuse of human mental capacity. We have killed the center of our feeling experience, our heart. We’v broken our own hearts.

‘Too much of anything becomes a poison’

Simply put, mental activity slowly shuts down access to the heart, the place solely responsible for organizing the truthfulness of your own life through honest feeling experience.

Give it 5 years of personal development, ‘growth mindset’, and mental effort, and you will be questioning your sanity and wondering why nothing seems real.

It’s a type of Stockholm syndrome where, in our mental pain, we blame ourselves and look for more mental work to do.

Mental energy is taken from vital energy stores (energy in the heart). Once the balance is out, you are coursing towards a mental breakdown with no way out besides seeing the breakdown through. Anecdotally, we see this on a three-year cycle plus or minus six months.

Notice around you more breakdowns and life collapses than ever before? It's highly lucrative right now to be a psychologist or psychiatrist; they're booked out for months in advance.

Minds and nervous systems are shot, hearts are hardened, dry, and breaking.

What started as personal empowerment has led to the mass overload of mental activity, leaving people in their own hall of mirrors, endless mental torment, and self-medicating. 

Western psychology is only 140 years old, a newborn in the blip of time. Every psych textbook, guideline, university, or research lab is focused on one thing: Outcomes. We believe to our core that the primary function of our mind is to produce ‘better outcomes, ’ a terrifying proposition for two reasons.

1. We think we know what our mind and mental function are for.

2. Outcomes are completely subjective and have proven to have no lasting impact on human happiness.

3. (bonus) Psychological methods and tools, on average, show a success rate of < 15%.

In other words, they don’t work.

Imagine picking up a tool you know nothing about and assuming you know how to use it AND assuming you know how to make things ‘better’ with it.

You’re going to break things...

We are so lost in our own mind junk that a seeking opens and people start venturing into different religious, philosophical, and spiritual systems, knowing and feeling something isn't right, looking anywhere for answers. Anything can sound true to a desperate and broken heart. This is where we lose people to dangerous ideologies because their truth dial (the heart) is completely repressed and damaged.

These deeper meanderings of mind will scratch the itch at first; you might pick up the bible, join a spiritual group, join a protest group, you may enjoy yoga and rich Indian spirituality or the depths of German philosophy. After a while, you’re back in the exact same place, right ?

Here at FSD, we like to summarise this entire journey with 3 words.

Sameness Of Experience

No matter what you do, try, achieve, or think, year after year, it all just feels the same. From PD to performance to plant medicine, it all just feels the same.

In the very background of your mind, you might feel a silent scream, a scream of desperation..

Put down all the tools, books, outcomes, and groups. Just pause for a moment because your soul is stuck…

You’re looking for your heart.

You’re looking for aliveness.

You’re looking for the real, even if it stings.

You’re looking for the thing that feels again.

When we compare the heart to the mind, we see a stark contrast.

In conclusion, Your Heart Is Better At Everything is our bridging program into the world of the heart. Where emotion is given majesty again, where sensation is pedestaled, and where feeling is rescued from the captivity of decades of fearful minds. This bridging program is the start of a new life in a new world where intelligence, love, action, and will are imbued with vision, knowing, peace, courage, and way too much fun.

Not just a catchy tag line...

Your heart is better at everything.
