The Heart
10 Mar 10
Franks exploration of the relationship between form and spirit led him to do deep creative
research on the number seven. By applying an alchemical transformative process to his seven-
sided form, he has discovered many previously unknown geometric structures that demonstrate
a remarkable correlation to the form and functioning of the human heart. These forms and
Franks artistic process have much to teach us about the objective realities of Living Thinking.

Rudolf Steiner had made indications of a fifth chamber of the heart. He spoke of a time when
certain changes would take place in the heart, by which gradually a fifth chamber will develop.
In this fifth chamber man will have a new organ which will allow him to control life forces in a
different way than is possible at the moment.

The radiation from this etheric organ of the heart is actually developing into a spiritual sense
organ.

In researching the geometry of the human heart, Frank Chester has discovered how a fifth
chamber can evolve. The heart will have to rotate just five degrees and a new valve will form.

Balancing says Frank, is the primary function of the heart. Our inner work improves balance.
When we are able to see periphery and center simultaneously; when we see self and other
with equal equanimity, then we give the heart a loosening quality of balance that allows it to
evolve etheric forces.

Frank summarizes some of the details:

The heart is not a pump, but an organ in which etheric space is created, so that the blood
is sucked into the heart rather than pumped(1). January of 2000 a new form was
uncovered with 7 equal surfaced areas. After four years of study it was found to be the
geometry behind the human heart. Based on the precise objective nature of geometry it
can now be shown and validated by this lawful 7-sided form that many of Rudolf Steiners
statements concerning the human heart are true.

FORM HAS A FUNCTION

FUNCTION HAS A FORM
FOLLOW THE FORM

THE HEART FORM IS PRECISION IN BALANCE between inversion and reversals, suction
and pressure, concave and convex, right and left, backwards and forwards, below and
above, three and four, asymmetrical and symmetrical, acceleration and deceleration,
clockwise and counter-clockwise, geometric and organic, and two different vortexes, all of
which today can be demonstrated to be lawful. These polarities are found to be active in
the human heart.
1.The heart is a brake, The heart is not a pump; it is a sense organ, a damming up
organ(2) You can observe the chestahedron in a vortex generator balancing itself between
accelerating and decelerating.
2. The apex of the heart is paper-thin. The apex wall is so soft and weak that it can be
pierced with the index finger(3) The geometry of the mitral valve opening will not allow a
moving vortex to reach the apex inside the chestahedron. If the heart is a pressure pump,
the apex would balloon out. The new form shows why this ballooning does not occur.
3. The chestahedrons geometry consists of two vortexes, one inside the other. The
musculature of the heart and arteries all the way down to the pre-capillaries is spirally
oriented, and both the heart and arteries move spirally to augment the momenta of the
blood.(4)
4. After creating a vortex in a clear receptacle of water with the chestahedron on the end of
an electric drill, there remains three spiraling vortexes. Dr. Pettigrew found three columns
of spiraling blood in the left ventricle.(5)
5. By using the chestahedron geometry of 22.5 degrees of arc found in the center of the
conical form, we now have an answer to myocardial layering design that has eluded Dr.
Pettigrew, Lawrence Edwards and all present-day heart researchers. A design that allows
counter clockwise and clockwise forces to work together in a balanced way and at the
same time promote blood vortex movement.
6. The chestahedron was developed from a tetrahedron turning inside a cube whose axis
is centered at the squre root of 3, and the square root of 3 in the cube is 36 degrees of arc
from the horizontal plane. This explains for the first time why the heart is located on the
left side of the body. The human heart position in the body is 36 degrees, which is the
perfect balance between above and below, right and left and forward and behind. Not
knowing about geometry, many studies indicate the heart sets at 45 degrees.
7. When the tetrahedron reaches the midpoint of the cube the resulting form is an
octahedron with one invariant point. Putting this form back into the original tetrahedron and
spinning both at the same time in the cube again, you get the inside left ventricle
geometry.
8. The inside left ventricle geometry turns 40 degrees during systole and sits in the cube at
15 degrees. Altogether you have a 55-degree spiral movement. If the ventricle twists
another 5 degrees a fifth chamber develops complete with a tri cusped valve.
9. In our time there are certain changes taking place in the heart, by which gradually a
fifth chamber will develop. In this fifth chamber man will have a new organ which will allow
him to control life forces in a different way than is possible at the moment.(6) All that
happens in the moral life, and all that happens physically in the worldthe moral and the
physical.are found in their real union when we learn to understand all the configurations
of the human heart.(7)
