THE HUMAN HEART OR THE...HUMAN MIND/BRAIN...?

Salaamun TO ALL
I excerpted this passage from the Free Minds homepage, the author wrote
Quote
The Human HeartThere are four types of humans in this world.
-The people who worship nothing in this life.
-The people who worship God, but they associate somebody with him as a way of reaching him.
-People who believe in God but do not practice.
-People who worship God alone. (These people share a very important and focussed idea; in other words they are balanced now).
Why is that so?
So I started thinking about God's wonder in us as a human body. Earlier I had mentioned that we are focused, balanced people by worshipping God alone, and I think the reason is that because we love him first. So we share the love of God, and love comes from one source and that is the heart. As he mentioned in verse 6411
Often, I here people refer to the "heart" as if it thinks like the brain. I actually had this discussion with a couple of people on different forum or maybe this one. Anyway, the heart contains no gray matter which is essential to thinking/reflecting, hence, it is incorrect to refer to the heart as if it is a source of thought/understanding. The heart "muscle" simply reflects the thoughts/attitudes of the BRAIN and this reflection is called---emoting. When Allh refers to changing one's heart, this is an allegory and what He's actually telling us to do is to---change our thoughts/attitudes! Keep in mind that, thought, always preceded emotion and not the other way around.
