It is not today that the heart is associated
with the deepest human emotions, in fact, this concept is quite old. There are
reports that prove that Aristotle already referred to the organ as the center
of the emotional activities of the human body. Pretty, right? From there to the
representation of love, it was a jump.
Speaking in other cultures, the Egyptians
believed that the heart was a part of the body in which our spirit and
intellect resided. It was the only organ not removed from the corpses in mummification
processes. Already the Greeks used the same symbolism to speak of regeneration
- when the subject was the most carnal love, the representation was made by the
god Eros.
In reality the human heart has nothing to do
with the figure we know, this popular heart shape depicts the figure of a butt,
in a well-known sexual position where the woman is four.
The subliminal message represented, would have
been created thousands of years ago, humanity uses hundreds of subliminal
figures daily without having the notion of what they really are.
