By immersing ourselves with our consciousness in a supersensible world, we now learn a new kind of thinking, a new life of mental pictures, one that is not dependent on the nervous system in the way ordinary thinking is. We know that previously we have had to make use of our nervous system, but now we no longer need our brain.

New Age music does something wonderful to the nervous system.

It's not telepathy. It's not the Borg. But we created a new central nervous system made of two brains.

Pressure is calming to the nervous system.

The mind and the body are inextricably entwined, and rarely are their inseparability clearer than when we're under some kind of mental pressure. The moment we start trying to learn a new skill, make a decision or otherwise think on our feet, our nervous system reacts - with accelerated pulse rate, increased respiration, even sweating.

Our tasks must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
