AND PERSONALITY 



ing" brains enable them to use strategy or energy outside 

 of themselves to aid them in effecting their survival. 

 This dividing line brings us to the primates. 



Why do not man and the higher apes fall into this "life 

 line ?" At this point we must bear in mind that from the 

 worm to the elephant every animal that exhibits adaptive 

 response possesses to a varying degree the mechanism of 

 thinking, but the mechanism by which thinking is executed 

 consumes little oxygen. The mechanism of thinking consists 

 of patterns of action. 



When the mechanism of thinking is advanced to such a 

 degree that the possessors are able to use either strategy 

 of survival value or energy outside themselves, whether it is 

 the energy of a club, of fire, or of another animal, the brains 

 of such animals will be larger than the brains of the animals 

 that execute energy entirely within themselves. The higher 

 the order of intelligence the larger is the portion of the brain 

 required for thinking, that is, for memory, reason, and 

 imagination, or "mind." 



Lower animals possess little "mind" and much energy. 

 In the lower animals most of the cells of the brain are used 

 to execute the total energy utilized in 24 hours. In man, a 

 larger part of the brain is required for "mind," and the 

 remaining portion of the brain in man is comparable to 

 the simple energy brain of the lower animals. Thus, the 

 "mind" brain of man, added to the energy brain of man, 

 raises the total weight of the brain of man to a unique size. 



What constitutes the "mind" brain of man ? Why, in the 

 life line does the brain of man deviate from the brains of the 

 wild and the domestic animals that have been studied ? 



The mass of the brain of both man and animals consists 

 of two parts, the gray matter and the white matter. The 

 gray matter consists of units of energy transformation, or 

 cells. These cells are dynamos. Within these 9,200,000,000 

 cells or dynamos in the cortex or gray matter of the brain, 

 through the process of oxidation, is generated the energy 

 required to operate such mental processes as memory,
