    Jan 9 2012: Decision making is a mental process that involves many things, one of them being intuition. Feeling or thinking with the heart is a romantic notion we probably should be careful with, since the heart is a muscle designed to pump blood. You might think you feel with it or through it, especially when upset, but it's probably a chemical reaction. I could be very wrong about all this. We make all decisions with our mind. It might feel like its our heart, but I doubt it. Even intuition and so called gut feelings are part of the mind process. The heart is just another mechanical organ. Like I said, I could be wrong about all this.
