oneself and are amenable to transformation. It has been established by the use of the feedback equipments that meditation changes the electrical activity as well as transmutes the synthesization of hormones.
RNA (Ribonucleic acid) is a product of the internal cellular activities. It is believed that this chemical substance plays an important role in the personality of an individual, It follows that tranformation of this factor can help in changing one's personality. Old habits can be changed to new ones.
Our organisation has three different stages of conscious activities. The first is the centre where most subtle conscious radiations are generated as waves. The second is the medium through which it is propagated and transformed into crude power and the third is the area where it manifests itself as a physical activity. All these take place in the organism through the internal organisation. For fnstance, take anger: it starts, as an impulsive reaction to some aggressive situation, in the form of a wave-radiation from the innermost recesses of consciousness (stage no. 1). It reaches and reacts with brain and nerves (stage no. 2) and finally manifests itself in various parts of the body (stage no. 3).
Modern science would describe the same sequence thus :
Anger starts as an impulsive reaction to some aggressive situation in the form of a wave-radiation from the consciousness. It reaches the brain and activates the pituitary through hypothalamus. Pituitary-hormone (ACTH) reaches and reacts with the adrenal gland and stimulates it to release adrenaline in the blood stream which reaches the motor area in the brain via the neuro-transmitters. Finally it manifests itself by producing certain physiological conditions making the body ready for aggression. Thus, science is aware of the centre of impulses and the paths of their transmission to the brain. If the transmission line is surgically destroyed, the instinct cannot generate feeling and is incapable of commending action. By stimulating or inhibiting certain portions of the brain, particularly hypothalamus, anger, fear, sexual excitement and other urges can be neutralized. The field that manifests them remains passive because the transmission is cut off. It must, however, he remembered that in such operation, only the transmission of the impulsive agitation is cut off but the generation is not stopped and continues. The manifestation in the final field does not occur but the primary centre of agitation remains active. This means that by blocking the transmission, a temporary transformation of the behaviour is achieved, but origin of the agitation remains as active as before. In other words, a mask is used to hide tne hediousness of the face while the face continues to remain as hedious as before. The change is external, superfluous, not internal and intrinsic.
Thus, the surgical treatment of controlling the impulsive forces can be looked upon as an expedient and not a permanent solution of the problem. The permanent remedy is to achieve a state of blissful, nonchalant tranquillity in which the impelling force of the urge fails to generate the wave. Frequent repeatitions strengthen the agitational forces of impulsive drives such as anger, fear etc. Anger, for example, grows if it is fed with anger. If no nourishment is fed to anger, it will wither and die down. Psychic science (adhyatma)
