Mind intended as what is cognate to experience, its container, source and destination all at once, must include heart as well as the thought box that we generally mean by mind. What shows itself in this way depends on the kind of language that prevails, which means the kind of theory of language implicit in the language employed for receiving and piloting happenings. While the language in the sense of English, French, German etc. stays the same language in this other sense can vary over a wide range. One might for example consider the minimally large or broad language in which Anselm's Ontological Proof holds true. If someone goes to the trouble of refuting this argument they are doing nothing more than 'dialing down' the scope of the language, or of the peculiar language/meta-language nexus. The heart, even though it does not speak, or only speaks by silence, is a part of this.
