Inspired by a drawing made by Rudolf Steiner , Frank Chester has followed the path of curiosity and experimentation until it led to a 3 D demonstration of the formative forces at work , creating the asymmetrical shape of flesh that is the human heart . The manifest implication is that the formative forces that actually build the flesh of the heart are engaged as swirl , contained in shape and direction by the geometric form . The heart is not a pump . Instead , the heart is a streaming device , and in the left ventricle , the spin of fluid is captured and twirled back on itself . In this way , the heart acts as a brake . The prime reason for this braking is balance . The heart is a balancing organ . The idea that the heart is a pump has dominated medicine for centuries . Yet at the apex of the left ventricle of the heart , the bottom point , the tissue is paper thin , not strong enough to enclose fluid under pressure . With the vortex model for understanding the motion of blood within the heart , one can see how this part of the heart never receives dangerous pressure , which it would , if the heart were indeed a pump . Other researchers have been able to show with cameras that the blood courses through the blood vessels of the human embryo , before the heart is even formed . Something else is moving the blood . This is another reason Frank Chester believes that the heart is not a pump . He has found that the heart is a streaming organ that is itself formed by a reversing , swirling stream . The blood enters the left ventricle in a clockwise spiral . By the time it moves out of the left ventricle , it is spinning in a counterclockwise motion . It reverses direction inside of the left chamber .
