Energy 1 1 



recognizes the distinction between the thing 

 upon which he works and the work he puts 

 upon it. He sells his work but not his body. 



The statement that thought is a function 

 of brain is a special form of the erroneous 

 statement that energy is an attribute of 

 matter. The relationship of thought to brain 

 may be represented by analogy. Send an 

 alternating current through the primary of 

 an induction coil, and an alternating current 

 of a different quality comes from the second- 

 ary. This new current is not in any sense a 

 function of the coil. It is the same energy as 

 that which was first supplied, but it has been 

 transformed by passing through a specific 

 organization of matter. We may consider 

 the brain as the induction coil of the living 

 organism. Organic energy in passing through 

 the brain is "stepped up" to that potential 

 suitable for performing the work known as 

 "thought, " and this work is as distinct from 

 the brain as the work of the induced current 

 is from the wire in the induction coil. 



The modern theory that matter and energy
