scious mind. The cerebrospinal system is the channel through
which you receive conscious perception by means of your five
physical senses and exercise control over the movement of your
body. This system has its nerves in the brain, and it is the chan-
nel of your volitional and conscious mental action.
The sympathetic system, sometimes referred to as the in-
voluntary nervous system, has its center in a ganglionic mass at
the back of the stomach known as the solar plexus, and is some-
times spoken of as the abdominal brain. It is the channel of
that mental action which unconsciously supports the vital func-
tions of the body.
The two systems may work separately or synchronously.

through it we control the vocal organs; then it passes onward to
the thorax sending out branches to the heart and lungs; finally,
passing through the diaphragm,
it loses the outer coating which
distinguishes the nerves of the voluntary system and becomes
identified with those of the sympathetic system, so forming a
connecting link between the two and making the man physically
a single entity.
"Similarly different areas of the brain indicate their con-
nection with the objective and subjective
activities of the mind
respectively, and speaking
in a general way we may assign the
frontal portion of the brain to the former and the posterior
portion to the latter, while the intermediate portion partakes of
the character of both."
A rather simple way of looking
at the mental and physical
interaction is to realize that your conscious mind grasps an idea
which induces a corresponding
vibration in your voluntary sys-
tem of nerves. This in turn causes a similar current to be gen-
erated in your involuntary system of nerves, thus handling the
idea over to your subconscious mind which is the creative me-
dium. This is how your thoughts become things.
Every thought entertained by your conscious mind and ac-
cepted as true is sent by your brain to your solar plexus, the
brain of your subconscious mind, to be made into your flesh,
and to be brought forth into your world as a reality.
There is an intelligence which fakes care of the body
When you study
the cellular system and the structure of the
organs, such as eyes, ears, heart, liver, bladder, etc., you learn
they consist of groups of cells which form a group intelligence
whereby they function together and are able to take orders
