THE SECRET OF LIGHT part: 10 - Function Of The Brain

10 - Function Of The Brain

Electric awareness of observed effects of matter in motion is registered in the brain.

It is commonly believed that the brain thinks and knows.

The brain does not think, nor does it know. It is but a storehouse of recorded sensations. The brain “remembers” these records for man's usage as he needs them, and for fulfilling the requirements of his body.

The brain is a complex state of motion expressed by waves of light pulsing in cycles.

States of motion cannot KNOW anything, nor can they THINK anything.

The brain is part of a machine, a human machine.

Machines can express thoughts which are electrically projected through them, but machines are incapable of thinking the thoughts thus projected.

Likewise machines can express knowledge but they cannot have knowledge.

Likewise machines can do marvelous things when patterned and controlled by knowledge, but they cannot KNOW what they do.

The centering conscious Mind of man's soul-will alone thinks by projecting desire for creative expression through the brain machine.

Desire in Mind is electrically expressed. Electricity is the motivative force which projects the One Light of mind two ways to create cycles of light waves for the purpose of expressing thought cycles.

Desire is not in the brain. It is in the centering conscious self. Desire is the cause of all motion.

The brain records sensations

The brain is but the electric recording mechanism of conscious Mind thinking It is also man's storage warehouse of electric records of memories and thoughts since his beginning.

It is the servant of Universal Intelligence. Its purpose in this respect is to keep the body electrically informed of the condition of the body, through electrical messages.

Such messages are not mental. They are purely electrical. They produce sensation. The brain senses and records every message. It sends counteracting messages to other parts of the body.

The body is a vast and complex mechanism. The brain is an electrical recorder, distributor, broadcaster and receiver for all operational parts of that multi-celled machine, but its actions have no relation to intelligence.

The brain records sensations of experiences and observations which the senses convey to it. Such sensations are mistaken for thinking and knowing. Sensation arising from electrical motion is purely automatic.

The mistake in assuming that the brain thinks and knows is due to the fact that man believes himself to be thinking when he is only sensing. Man also believes that he is acquiring knowledge through sensed observation of sensed EFFECT, when he is but recording electrical sensations which inform him as to the nature of things observed by his senses.

The body is a patterned machine designed to do many things Electric motivation through nerve wires determines each movement.

When such sensations act in unison with his conscious awareness of the Light which centers him as PERSON, he is then thinking as well as sensing.

The centering consciousness of man, the PERSON, transforms information received by the senses into knowledge to the extent of which he is capable of recognizing CAUSE in spirit, back of the EFFECT which his senses record.

Until that transformation takes place, man is without knowledge no matter to what extent his senses may have informed him, for information is not knowledge.

A man may be a veritable encyclopedia of information. He may have earned many college degrees for being well informed and yet be without sufficient knowledge to create anything.

For instance, we cannot sense the idea of a harp while it is still, but we can know the idea of the harp.

We can know its various possibilities of expression, even though its strings are not vibrating. Likewise we can imagine countless complexities of rhythms which lie unexpressed within those still strings.

Conversely, we cannot know the vibrations which come from those strings when we set them in motion. We can but sense those vibrations through our own sensed electrical awareness.

“The source of all things is within all things, centering them as Rest, from which their motion springeth. It is also without all things, controlling their balance with all other things.

“Man's universe is still composed of many things, many separate things, and separable. “Yea, not one thing is there in My imaged universe which is apart from Me, nor of itself alone.

“Yea, I guide My borning things from very seed by sensed treads of light extensions of My thinking until they themselves can guide themselves. Not e'en the least of these which are not bound to Me in Light.

“Images of My imaginings which grow from Earth, and those which freely move, all of these things grow and move through extended light of My dynamic thinking until they themselves can think with me.”
