Before we discuss the theory, let’s do a practical exercise.
Close your eyes and get a picture of a cat.
Now, change the colour of the cat. If it was black, make it white. If it was white, make it black.
Now make it ginger.
Now make it grey.
How far out from your nose is the picture?
OK, Send it out to three meters.
Now make it three meters tall.
Now turn it purple.
Now give it green polka dots.
Now shrink it down to the size of a pin head and throw it over your left shoulder.
Now open your eyes.
There are three parts of man. Your body, including your brain, which is merely a mechanical switchboard and does not do any thinking.
Your mind, which is not an object but a function. It is the mechanism that produced the first cat you saw, probably a picture of an actual can you had seen at some point in the past. And that which you used to get the other coloured cats.
So, now the $64,000 question? Who was looking at the picture of the cat? (Answer that before you read on.)
If you said, “I was!” you are correct. You are not your body. You are not your mind. You are an immortal, indestructible spiritual being who uses the mind to run the body.
You can use the mind to call up pictures of the past, like the black or white cat. Or to create pictures from your imagination. Pictures like a three meter tall purple cat with green polka dots.
As a matter of fact, all you do, all you create, all you have, you first imagine, you create in your mind before bringing it into being in the physical universe.
Those pictures you create in your mind require a special form of energy to do so. The being that is you is not energy but an energy production unit.
This truth is not long hidden from view. For many thousands of year, until 1879, Western culture widely acknowledged the truth that you are not a meat body but a spiritual being. In that year the German Professor Wundt, under the influence of the militaristic Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, loudly proclaimed that man was an animal, not a spiritual being. He thus altered and perverted the name and the course of psychology. After all, ‘pysch’ comes from the Greek meaning ‘soul’, and ‘ology’ means ‘study of’. So psychology originally meant ‘the study of the soul’.
Now it appears to have little truck with that. More like studying rats and figuring out how to manipulate people.
Understanding this you have some idea of one reason why and where modern Western medicine has gone off the rails. After all, they full recognise the influence and power of the mind to alter experimental trials. That’s why they have what they call ‘double-blind clinical trials’, where neither the person taking the placebo or trial substance, nor the one administering it, have any idea who is getting the placebo or who is getting the substance being trialed. Yet they have not investigated and identified the source of this influence.
It took an atomic physicist who traveled amongst the wise men of Asia so had an extremely rare grounding in Western practicality and Eastern philosophy to thoroughly research the subject. What’s more, unlike many others who have tried to learn more about the spirit/mind/body combination, he was diligent in documenting his research.
One of his discoveries that fueled his purpose was when he totally disproved the idea that memories are stored in the physical brain. A commonly held belief early last century.
Memories are actually stored by the being in the mind which is a function separate from the physical brain and body.
He identified that a being stores everything that ever happens to him, while he is conscious, in a function he called the standard memory banks of the mind, bit like a computer hard drive, that is fully accessible to the analytical mind that you use to think with.
He identified that as you go through life you take 32 impressions per second of your environment. These are not just visual images. They also contain the commonly recognised other four senses, touch, smell and sound. The air temperature and moisture level, the feel of your clothes on your skin, the taste of food and drink, the sound of the bird ‘s wings as it flies close to you, the smell of the freshly cut grass, as well as things not recognised as senses but are nevertheless perceived. Things like how hungry you are, how full your bladder and bowels, the salinity level of your body, your perception of which compass direction you are facing.
He identified 57 different perceptics in all. You are aware of a lot more going on than they told you about in kindergarten!
You have enough cells in the brain to store only three months worth of these memories at 32 pictures per second. And last time I checked, most people can recollect a bit further back than three months ago.
You may have read stories of kids remembering exact names and events from previous lives. This is how those memories are stored by the being in the standard memory banks of the mind – completely independent of the genetic line and physical body.
It’s a fascinating subject, one I have spent a little spare time studying, OK, a lot, over the last 46 years.
