INTELLIGENCE, POWER, 



In surgical operations under spinal anesthesia the per- 

 sonality of the patient likewise is bisected. The mechanism 

 of intelligence is left in one sector, the mechanism of the 

 emotions in another. The brain loses its means of communi- 

 cation with the mechanism for the expression of the 

 emotions. 



The brain of civilized man generates a high electric 

 potential of the entire organism. Conversely, a high electric 

 potential of the body is accompanied by a continuous high 

 electric stimulation of the brain and other organs and tis- 

 sues of the body. When this electric stimulation of the brain 

 becomes excessively high and there is a corresponding 

 stimulation of the mechanism of the emotions, a pathologic 

 physiology and even disease may occur. A successful life is 

 dependent upon a balance between the brain-thyroid and 

 the brain-adrenal systems. 



When civilized man realizes that his dominance has been 

 gained through the evolution of the brain-thyroid formula, 

 which superseded the brain-adrenal formula of his wild 

 ancestors, he may, through training and education, lessen 

 the exercise of the emotions by raising the exercise of rea- 

 son, thereby protecting the survival value of the organs 

 that endow him with intelligence, power, and personality.
