Why the vast
difference
between
animal brain and
The amazing complexity of animal brain (in the highest
animals especial/y) is only VERY SLIGHTLY less, in
size and quality, compared to the human brain. WHY,
then, is human mind so TRANSCENDINGL Y SUPE–
RIOR to animal brain? Advanced studies in the new
science of brain research have made significant pro–
gress toward unlocking the ultimate secrets of the
awesome human intellect. This is Part 1 of an eye–
opening and remarkable series of articles on a most
fascinating and important subject.

AN THINKS.
At Jcast he thinks
that he thinks. But he knows.
And he
knows
that he knows.
Man is indeed unique - no other phys–
ical being is creatively sel f-conscious,
nor can any other ponder thc transcen–
dental questions of Jife, death and ulti–
mate purpose.
What is man? He
is
his
mind
-
his
hmnan mind
-
which is of an immense
capacity, able to comprehend the inter–
relationships of space, time, mass and
energy. Animal brain, virtually equal in
size and quality, has no such power.
The human mind has gone to the
moon! It can write poetry, paint por–

And these abilities are
totally absent from animal brain.

Yet this same phenomcnally unrc–
strained human mind, for all its com–
plexity, intricacy, insight and foresight,
cannot
solve its own problems here on
carth. As a matter of fact, it was the
human mind which
created
all these
problems io the first place.
What an incredible paradox! The
human mind - so great and yet so

Man does not know the way to peace
- but he is blazing new trails to war.
Worldwide well-being eludes him - as
the explosions of population and pollu–
tion cngulf him. Happiness is the well–
worn platitude - but disillusionment
and dcspondency are the commonplace
re1lity.
LOVE -
or lust - is al! too
often a joke and hatred is the brutal
truth. The human race is sitting on a
time bomb that looks like it's going to
explode. And soon!
The human mind - so great and yet
so helpless!
Man is a phenomenal creature. But
he has reached the end of his rope -
his moment of truth has come, his time
is nearly up. Man seems bent on self–
extermination.
But is this
logical?
