THE MYSTERIES OF MIND
soul on all the tissues and cells participating in the apparatus of knowledge.
There are billions and billions of living cells or neurons in the body. They control the tendencies and impulses of the body. An idea which comes in contact with the neurons can be easily materialized. It is very difficult to understand their workings. They lie scattered across the brain in billions. They are highly useful in arousing mental powers.
Naturopaths advise us that if we suffered from constipation, we should sit in easy posture and give a suggestion to the knowledge tissues to open the bowels. The knowledge tissues will become active. This will make stool pass. Auto-suggestion plays a very important part in mental development. Sammohana (deluding) can be brought about by the knowledge centres working under suggestion. What is needed is to plant our desires and tendencies into the knowledge tissues. Once this has been done the knowledge tissues will become active and make us achieve what we want to achieve. Let us merge our desires etc. into the knowledge tissues to create new things and to replace old ones with them. We have to establish our identity with them. That is the process of self-transformation. That is also the method of arousing mental powers.
