As one traditional Quaker query was read aloud during a meeting for worship, one of its phrases began echoing within me: “Truth in the heart.”
How remarkable! Not in the head but rather the heart! Truth, which we see so often as ground in facts and logical consistency, is now assayed not in the brain but rather in the core of our affections.
As early Friends used the word, Truth is much more of a verb than an immutable object. Think of the progression from true to truer to truest. Maybe you can sense that motion in the slightly fuller expression of that day’s query, asking if we, individually and as a group, heed “Love and Truth in the heart” …
As I said, a remarkable phrase.
Jnana's Red Barn 
The brain is for facts, the heart for truth. No, I’m not being at all unscientific. You cannot evaluate competing facts, make priorities, or plan without emotions. Truth cannot be counter to real facts, of course; if it’s raining, it’s raining, but you can’t decide what to do about the rain without emotions.
Wonderful perspective.
The Orthodox talk about personal integrity (and Christian virtue) occurring when we pray “with the mind in the heart.” Perhaps this query aims at something similar?
By the way, I’m not sure I’ve come across this notion of queries before. Perhaps you could post an explanation for those of us who’ve not encountered them?
I love the concept of the “mind in the heart.”
Looks like I’ll have to do something extended about the queries. They’re so ingrained in my tradition, well, it’s easy to forget they’re not universal.
