If we start from scripture we can see clearly how the Heart is a

good analogy for the Father, because the Father (to be simple)
is the sending and receiving that circulates Jesus (the blood)
1
through our newly redeemed nature.

In John 16:28 “I came from the Father and have come into the
world and now I leave the world to go to the Father” we see

how Jesus is like your blood being circulated by the Father’s
Will. And this continued after the ascension, as we read in

Matthew 28:20 “And know that I am with you always; yes, to
the end of time”; in fact even more so, for Jesus is the blood

flow of the Universe as we read in Eph 1:23 “… the fullness of
Him that fills the whole creation”.

This heartbeat of the Father, this sending and receiving, is not
a physical pump like the heart but it is the Will. The Will is the

faculty that rules and determines the movements of all other
faculties eg. Intellect and Memory as we see in the passage

(Volume 33 May 12, 1934) movement is the key to life.

In Scripture Jesus’ whole mission is to get his disciples

(discipleship being a major theme in Gospel of Mathew that
climaxes in the 11 apostles at the great commission chap 28) to

enter this Divine Will (DW) movement, to fuse their will to, and
enter into, the DW this Divine heartbeat. Jesus uses

metaphors and instead of saying DW, specifically he used the
biblical concept of “name”. The whole bible can be viewed, from

one angle, as God progressively revealing his names- and
each new “name” reveals a new characteristic, identity or
essence of God. The Holy Spirit alone has about 87 Names in

the bible. Cf Book Names of the Holy Spirit by Ray Pritchard.

1 Jesus in turn did this to the disciples- sending them out as the
new blood to circulate through the whole world starting from

Jerusalem (loaded with meaning) we keep returning to him in
the Eucharist.
