Chapter 13: "THE BRAIN"
The chapters just keep getting shorter huh?

This powerful organ controls many things in your body, it is a part of the nervous system which deals with stimuli and responses as well as the functioning of muscles across the human frame and so much more. What about an extra statement to this definition?
“The Brain is both a broadcasting and receiving station for the vibration of thought.” The book states that the brain is capable of picking up vibrations of thought which are being released by other brains…Like telepathy? Do you believe that?
Vocabulary:
subservient: prepared to obey others unquestionably.
intricate: very complicated or detailed.
cipher: a secret or disguised way of writing; a code.
clairvoyance: the supposed faculty of perceiving things or events in the future or beyond normal sensory.
percipient: having good insight or understanding; perceptive.
vigor: physical strength and good health.
premonition: a strong feeling something is about to happen, especially something unpleasant.
Again, the chapter is somewhat repetitive, hence, some quick quotes:
“The creative imagination is the “receiving set” of the brain, which receives thoughts, released by the brains of others.”
“The result of sex transmutation, is the increase of thoughts to such a pitch that the creative imagination becomes highly receptive to ideas.”
“The subconscious mind is the “sending station” of the brain, through which vibrations of thought are broadcast.”
“..all of us are controlled by forces which are unseen and intangible.”
And just like that I’m out.
