BRAIN AND MIND

The penetration of thought by will makes for memory,

Which is an atomic phenomenon reflecting

A compromise between brain and mind,

The electron particles of the new brain

And the neutron wavicles of the conscious mind.

Thoughts reside in the latter,

But their realization or recollection

Depends upon the degree to which

The former is exercised.

A strong will should induce a strong memory,

A weak will ... a weak memory.

In distinguishing between brain and mind,

One has a particle/wavicle dichotomy,

The neutron particles of the midbrain

Contrasting, through read literature, with

The neutron wavicles, or thoughts, of

The conscious mind; the electron particles

Of the new brain contrasting, as will, with

The electron wavicles, or awareness, of

The superconscious; not to mention

The proton particles of the old brain

Contrasting, as emotion, with

The proton wavicles, or dreams, of

The subconscious mind.

Just as the Church stems from the Kingdom,

So, in a manner of speaking, does the conscious mind

Stem from the old brain.

By contrast with the conscious mind,

The new brain signifies a 'fall' (forwards)

From church to state or, at any rate, from

The Protestant Church to the Republican State,

Neutron wavicles to neutron and/or electron particles.

But out of the particle Republic

Should arise the wavicle Centre,

As the new brain leads to the superconscious,

And thus a return to mind - only this time

To mind of the spirit rather than

To mind of either the soul or the intellect.
