The House We Live In & Its Function

finer energy, or they could not contact the outside wireless fields of atomic construction and convey them inward, to the center, through further stepped-down and conducted currents over nerves and through tubes in the body. In this way, the consciousness within contacts and benefits by the energy fields in the macrocosmic world outside.

Mind, being a neuter [neutral] activity in itself, is therefore capable of every capacity of action and sensation through matter. When properly controlled, it is a perfect servant of the soul, as a stepped-down expression of energy - both sensory and motor currents for the soul's experience in this world. The senses in turn are the five modes of expression of the mind in matter.

The luminiferous ether in the outer world is the conductor of light. Seeing is the function of the eyes in this ether, gathering rays from external objects through the lenses and reflecting them through the optic nerves, to the center of sight in the cuneus of the occipital lobe. The soniferous ether acts as a medium of sound conduction. The odoriferous ether acts as a conductor of fine gaseous particles for the perception of smell. The tactile ether acts as a conductor for the sense of touch. These wireless long-range contacts then travel over specific, conducted sensory receivers which carry the current inward to our inner sense-perception centers and are then registered as awareness or conscious experiences.

The mind expresses itself through its five stepped-down agencies - which split into the five sensory senses and the five motor senses - to carry on the work in the body as organic functions. These express themselves also as the mechanical leverages of ten fingers, for motion and expression of skill in overcoming gravity, and as ten toes and energy waves flowing to them for body motion through joints and leverage, conquering the inertia of their own matter in a world of gravity and resistance. These waves of energy give the delicate sense of touch to the fingers and create definite pattern lines of fingerprints in the tactile tissues. These are precise and unique in each individual, as is his brain pattern of perception waves in
