Brain actuates what it believes

Article Abstract by: varghese    

Original Author: Prof.P.A.Varghese
  Human brain activates whatever it believes or thinks consistently for long periods of time. Whatever man has thought
over for prolonged periods of time has been achieved.
Ever since man’s appearance, this has been the case.   Early man was haunted by the wild beasts. He was not even good at running like many of them. Thus he thought of protecting himself. A solution was given. Accordingly, he arranged huge stones around and he slept inside the enclosure. This is the beginnings of houses Later he added a number of new devices to protect himself from adverse weather conditions.
    It was not easy for him to kill the animals and he must have staved  a number of days. After long reflections, he found out that sharpened stones had  a better effect. That was the beginning of tools and weapons.  
When it was cool he thought about protecting himself. His brain came to his rescue again. He started wearing the barks of tress or the skins of an animals. That was the beginning of dresses.
 May be one day he ate a burnt animal and he found that it was tastier. Man began to think about ‘taming’ fire and roasting animals he killed. This led him eventually to the discovery of fire.  
From the beginning there were fights for a mate. He started to think about weapons to kill his enemies. What all weapons he has already produced!   From the beginning man was wonderstruck at the awesome splendors of nature and he made a profusion of artistic outpourings, in the form of poems, sculptures, paintings, and so on. Many things he visualized he created later.
Man wanted to fly up in the sky like a bird. We have documented evidence for this longing of man from the time of Aristotle. He did achieve that.
He longed to go to the moon. This became an intense desire in the 20th century and he did g there many a time. He is now thinking of establishing hotels and resorts there. He is colonizing the moon.              
   Whatever he thought he created.
Even the building you sit now was conceived as a thought. Plans and detailed drawings were made later. It is only a mater of time before what he hinks about is actuated. Is there anything he has not yet materialized?.
Well, you may think that man has not conquered death or ageing  so far. He has been desiring it for some time now. The scientists who are working on ‘The Human Genome Project” think that these  yearnings of man are well within his grasp. Of course he has advanced the average life span during the last century or two.  
Ageing starts when the cell division stops. In a tortoise for instance, cells divide about 90 times and the animal lives for about 200 years. In humans after 50-52 times the process stops and  if this could be extended man could live more. There is a lot of work pending yet.
In a century or two man will overcome ageing and probably death. He will decide when he will die.  There is an absolute certainty that whatever our brains intensely desire over long periods of time or whatever it believes  gets actuated. The entire poverty and diseases can be obliterated if every man desires intensely the same. It is a wonderful switchboard and it can perform miracles. Whatever man visualizes for long periods become the reality.
