Mind is an all-pervasive energy which is outside of the body. The physical brain is rather like a pin-cushion. When you push a pin into a pin-cushion you make a hole and the next time you push a pin through that selfsame hole, it is easier than it was the first time. When you – the higher part of yourself – think a particular series of thoughts for the first time, it is a lot more difficult than when you do it for the second, third and fourth times. You are making a channel through the brain so that mind can enter. If you regard mind as being an all-pervasive energy, a force or power outside of yourself, your brain as being a receiving set, and yourself as being the controller of this receiving set, then you get a true idea of how the mind works. You can twist certain little knobs in your brain and make your brain receive highly elevated spiritual thoughts. You can twist other knobs and your brain will receive baser thoughts.
