Part I : LIFE
a poetic science exploration
& celebration of life, our hearts & being human
PARADISE & YOUR FUTURE
There are two fundamentally different stories about life and your role in it.
One starts with the big bang and tells us that we and the universe are complex machines.
The other, nearly forgotten story, starts with your heart.
And if you believe your heart is a pump, you are in for a big surprise. Your heart is not what you think it is.
A new era {=cycle/wave/epoch/heartbeat} is beginning right now. Whether it turns out to become paradise for you, humanity and Earth might depend on which story you will choose
to guide your life …
Teasers coming soon
Meanwhile you can listen to some rough sketches from the soundtrack for our documentary, so you can get a feeling for the story.
What if embodying your full potential begins with realizing your Heart is not a pump?
SYNOPSIS
Our poetic science documentary takes you on an impressionistic journey through human life, playfully exploring what our heart is all about.
From before the first heartbeat to beyond the last. From before the big bang {≈systole of the cosmic heart beat} to beyond the end of the universe {≈cosmic diastole}.
Prof. Gerald Pollack did his Phd work on the cardiovascular system and he thought he had all the answers. That was several decades ago. Now he and his Phd student demonstrate how the blood flow continues although the heart is not working. They summarize seven years of research “Something other than the heart is driving the blood circulation.” Their findings might be the overture of a scientific revolution.
The question now is, ‘What’s the role of the heart?’
Very few people know that there is substantial scientific evidence that the century-old dogma ‘our heart is a pump’ is likely flawed and needs a thorough reinvestigation. A new definition of the heart’s function might lead to new interventions for heart failure and other heart diseases, and improve the quality of life of millions of people around the globe.
Even more so, as this film shows, it might fundamentally reframe our view on topics like pregnancy and birth, education, consciousness, love and relationships, our connection to ‘our’ planet, peace, health, disease, dying, and many other fundamental aspects of our lives.
The Heart Revolution invites you to discover how near-unimaginably powerful and beautiful you are, have been, and always will be.
And how we might even have a chance to live together in paradise here on Earth again soon 🙂
[“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us. And the world will live as one.”]
You think you know what your heart is all about?

STORY STRUCTURE
Our poetic science documentary is structured into eight archetypal chapters of life. We start with the one that is sadly the last for most people: Dis-ease.
Then we look at Shift, Love, Birth, School, Earth, Death, and Rebirth. We follow the lead characters and explore what role the heart plays in these chapters of life.

BACKSTORY & CONTEXT
Ancient stories from around the world tell us that we once lived in paradise here on Earth. A state of harmony with ourselves and each other {= humans, animals, and nature.}
Many people today believe that if we invent better technologies, we’ll soon have a better life. Yet despite ever-increasing technification, seemingly more and more people struggle with war, poverty, loneliness, chronic disease, and other heart-breaking situations.
At the same time, more and more people are attracted to the ‘spiritual idea’ of ‘mind over matter,’ the idea that our mind is the key to creating the life we wish for. And meditation and enlightenment are claimed to be the paths. Yet we have seen over and over again that so-called enlightened masters behave as immature and even toxic as the average person.
Both our mind and the technologies it conceived are of seemingly undeniable relevance for our lives.
And, what if both, our minds and it’s technologies, are not enough, even more so, not suited to solve the life-threatening and global challenges we are facing?
And, what if both, our minds and it’s technologies, are not enough, even more so, not suited to solve the life-threatening and global challenges we are facing?
We might not have much time left to find out. Some notable experts warn us that GRAIN technologies [Genetic, Robotic, Artificial Intelligence, Nano] likely lead to the end of humanity as we know it.
And after a life dedicated to healing and health with yoga, diets, and meditation, many people come to feel that something is still missing. That there is something they long for they haven’t found yet.
What if discovering and experiencing the purpose of this pulsing organ in your chest is whats missing ?
What if this adventure begins with realizing that your heart is not a pump?
THE AWESOME CAST
Thomas Cowan
Former medical doctor
A new era has begun.
It’s the era
of your heart.
{ from ‘cogito ergo sum’ [=I think therefore I am] to ‘I feel therefore I am’ }
{ from ‘mind over matter’ to ‘heart moves mind’ }
SHIFT & CHANGE
In our film you’ll discover ground-breaking new research from the Heartmath institute. They have been creating visionary programs to transform health, wellness and performance based on Heart Rate Variability since three decades.
Below are some of the institutions using Heartmath techniques to improve the quality of life of their members, employees and the communities they serve.
ONLINE EVENT
30,000+ participants have already discovered how to heal, empower & enlighten their hearts in our free online event.
GET INSTANT ACCESS TO 60+ EXPERTS who share their insights about your heart’s physical, emotional, and spiritual function and potential. Some highlights include ground-breaking insights on heart attacks, why the heart is not a pump [more precise: why the heart muscle is not a pressure propulsion device], the effects of infra-red light on capillaries and the circulatory system and a lot more.
Your view of the human heart will never be the same. And you might tell your doc a few things s/he didn’t know 😉
Heart disease could be a thing of the past.
But this is just the beginning of The Heart Revolution.
CROSS-MEDIA STORYTELLING
Over the decades of personal exploration, we gathered a considerable amount of dogma-breaking, mind-boggling, and quality-of-life-enhancing stories, experiences and insights about the heart and it’s relationship to all aspects of our lives and the universe.
This is the beginning of a journey that might take you beyond your wildest imagination and deepest conditioning ;~}
VISION & MISSION
Our vision is to have paradise on Earth {again}. For us that means that we all live together based on healthy, heartfelt connections with ourselves and each other [that includes plants, animals and ‘our’ planet Earth], despite all our differences.
Our little mission towards that vision is to …
1) Increase awareness of the strong scientific evidence that warrants a serious investigation of the idea that the human heart is not a pump.
2) Ignite a discussion about the function and potential of our hearts regarding fundamental aspects of human life.
3) Inspire people to optimize their health & live their full potential via the ‘follow your heart & find your rhythm’™ lifestyle.
4) Encourage teachers and coaches to implement easy-to-use, no-cost approaches to increase the heart connection with and between their students and Earth.
5) Collect, preserve, and present both indigenous & ancient, and modern knowledge and wisdom about our hearts and the rhythms of life from around the world.
There are always at least two perspectives on any story.
{ because we live in a three-dimensional world :-}
PARTICIPATE & EXPERIENCE
You can explore many aspects of the stories we tell in your own life. We invite and encourage you to have your own experiences. Without your personal experience, you can only believe or doubt what we {and others} tell you. Having your own experience will take you beyond that cage of belief and doubt.
We like to propose that real knowledge is based on personal experience.
So, happy exploring!
Here are things you can easily do at home that can help you reconnect to your heart’s and Earth’s intelligence and intuition. We’d love to hear about your experiences.
We also prepare an citizen science research project that explores how you can use mood-cycle tracking, heart-waves and HRV [Heart Rate Variability and other personal cycles] to get in sync with natural Earth and cosmic cycles. This might lead to elevated physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Thank You Dear Earth
We are unspeakably grateful that you, Earth, gave us this paradise to live, play and flourish in.
We long to learn how to live in harmony with you and tell stories about how we all, plants and animals [= also humans] are deeply a ‘part’ of you. And we aim to inspire ever more fellow humans to live in harmony with you.
Thank You for having us!
And we feel it is no coincidence that EARTH and HEART are an anagram with only one letter to move from the end to the beginning.
