2.  Brain Cells and You

There had been nothing in my education thus far that had even hinted at man expanding his limitations, which I began to see were self-imposed. It was a further revelation to me to learn that man is so structured that he has to first create the tools within himself in order to unleash the power to think, and that a man simply cannot comprehend new information or new knowledge until a corresponding vibratory brain cell has been willingly prepared to absorb it. This was explained to me in India where I talked with various holy men and gurus and which I subsequently verified through my own inner experiments. Then for the first time did I understand why it was so difficult to accept or even appreciate an entirely new idea.

This suddenly explained the dilemma presented in The Greening Of America which talks of the first three levels of consciousness. Having no brain cells capable of receiving new knowledge, man is naturally incredulous and simply does not believe. Worse still, man rejects new information and so becomes crystallized at his present level of consciousness.

The idea of having the ability to create new brain cells and thus expand one's consciousness was the key out of a prison for me. Suddenly my ears were hearing of the law of attraction and the scientific method by which it can be put into operation. We never learn in schools and universities that every cell in the body is conscious and will respond to our conscious direction; nor are we told that the cells in turn are creators and the destiny of their pattern is also within our control; nor are we told that the quality of the brain is governed by our state of mind or our mental attitude, which depends on the quality of our energy and the fitness of our body, and that if undesirable mental attitudes are conveyed to the mind, they will, in turn, be transferred to the body. It is therefore obvious that if we wish the body to manifest health, strength, and vitality, these must be our dominant thoughts. We must at all times refuse to entertain negative thought.
