Chapter 13, The Brain
Our brains are both sending and receiving stations.
They send and receive thoughts from other brains.In
this manner,we are all truly connected to each other.
Through our emotions our thought vibrations are
stepped up to a higher level which can then be sent
to others and to our own subconscious minds. We are
also more able to receive when emotion is mixed with
the thought.
This is the reason there are no accidents. This is
the reason we find ourselves where we are. What we
are broadcasting comes to us, positive or negative.
This is why the Mastermind works. And it is powerful
because it is not just one mind attracting something
but two or more and the power of it multiplies.
We get what we focus on, what we think about. This
mastermind group is very important for each of us
individually as it allows each of us to move for-
ward more quickly than if we were by ourselves.
When one of us has a real breakthrough, it creates
a way for the rest of us to do the same… And the
one who had the original breakthrough was able to
do that because of the help of the rest of the group.
It is like geese flying in formation where the
leaders break the trail for the rest of us to move
forward more easily.
Thank you Michael,

Chapter 13
This chapter really put it all together for me.
I am starting to really practise these principles
daily.
I am seeing the importance of putting real emotion
into what my desires are.
I am focused on keeping the positive emotions so
strong in my mind that the negative ones do not
have any space or chance of creeping back in.
Doing my self talk as much as possible is so
important. It keeps me focused. I have noticed
that if I have some quite time and I start having
negative thought come to me, if I just say my
self talk and start to visualize my desires those
negative thought go away.
So I am now so much happier. I have gotten rid
of all those obstacles that were in my way.
I can now see the bright future that is ahead
of me. But I also see how great things are right
now.
I have such a strong and loving husband that
would not let even a stroke keep him from us.
I have a beautiful amazing daughter that has
filled my life with so much love and laughter.
I have a beautiful home that will not be taken
away from me. We have overcome so much and I
know that this is just the beginning.

Chapter 13,, THE BRAIN
This chapter makes sense and explains what
Hill said earlier about the power of the mastermind.
I liked his description of the huge number of cells
in the brain and his asking if they were all there
just for dealing with day to day physical problems.
I have not spent much time at all thinking about
meditation or esp, but I do know that there have
been many many times when Anna and I have said or
thought about the same thing, when neither of us
has been discussing it previously.
This has happened to me before with close friends,
so something must be going on!!
As I read the chapter again just now, I thought
about how Tom tells us that people make up their
minds about us in the first twenty seconds, and
how you tell us to call people with no agenda.
Could it be that our ‘transmitted’ messages are
stronger than our spoken messages?
If our mouth is saying we don’t have an agenda,
but our brain is transmitting that we do, which
message reaches the listener’s ear, or more
importantly the listener’s heart?
People’s body language will be more important
than their words every time, and perhaps their
brain language is most important of all.

The Brain. My Lesson 7.9.08
I confess…..My brain has been swimming with so
much data this week following my awesome coaching
call with Sarah on Sunday afternoon and I’ve had
a challenge to settle down and write my lesson for
today.
I’ve actually read the chapter three or four times
and I am in awe!….. Obviously, the brain is an
unbelievable piece of “equipment” that we generally
take for granted a good share of the time.
But when we actually stop to even consider the
potential of our amazing brains…WOW…
So…as I said…I confess…I dug out my lesson
on this chapter from last March and guess what..
.it still works for me…
It gets overwhelming rather quickly for me when I
begin thinking about Hill’s explanations of the many
intangible forces in this Universe…most of which we
just take for granted every day and never really
think about them at all. As he says, we humans
depend too much on our physical senses and most of
the time, we limit our knowledge to physical things
that we can see, touch, weigh, and measure.
Just as we’ve talked about in this group many times,
as young children, many times we’re programmed to
do just that…what you see is what you get; get your
head out of the clouds; get your feet back on the
ground; face reality; stop daydreaming; well…you
get the idea.
We are not encouraged to even think about the
intangible forces that affect our lives every day.
at least not much beyond reading about gravity in
science class anyway.
To consider the intangible forces of the world that
Hill speaks about…the rolling waves of the ocean;
gravity and all the unfathomable ways that it is at
work all around us; the forces of a thunderstorm and
of electricity…the list goes on and on.
Probably the intangible force that many of us have
probably thought about more often than some of the
others is the intangible force wrapped up in the soil
of the earth.
What little child hasn’t planted a tiny seed in a
cup of dirt for a special Mother’s Day gift and then,
fascinated by what that seed turned into…presented
it with total delight…and ignorance about what
happened?
And are we not still totally “in the dark” about how
those garden seeds turn into a mountain of produce
throughout the summer as we tend and nurture what
those tiny seeds have become.
But yet, even that most familiar intangible force…
planting a seed in the soil…we have faith, we expect,
and we watch that spot in the dirt…just waiting and
expecting and having faith that any moment we will
see something pop up through the soil and then…
we pretty much take it for granted again.
But, when we actually focus on the miracle of what
these intangible forces produce in our lives…it is
absolutely awesome.
But what about the greatest of all the intangible
forces…the force of our thoughts? How often do we
consider how powerful they are. I think before most
of us came to this Master Mind group, we probably took
our thoughts much more for granted than we do now.
To read what Hill explains about the intricacies of
the makeup of the human brain…I can’t really even
begin to fathom that the number of lines that connect
the brain cells with one another equals the figure
one, followed by fifteen million ciphers.
And keep in mind…that was in 1937. And they even
knew then that all of those nerve cells in our
brains are arranged in definite patterns. Their
arrangement is NOT haphazard, but orderly.
Hill says that it is inconceivable that such a net
work of intricate machinery should be in existence
for the sole purpose of carrying on the physical
functions incidental to growth and maintenance
of the physical body.
He asks us, “Is it not likely that the same system
which gives billions of brain cells the media for
communication one with another provides also the
means of communication with other intangible forces
I have to admit that question made me feel similarly
to when my husband will point out a beautiful sunset
or a fabulous double rainbow in the sky, or an
awesome bank of clouds during a storm…and when I
realize that I hadn’t even noticed what was right in
front of my face, it’s also the moment that I realize
that so very much passes us by without our even
noticing, understanding, or even making use of what
is right before us all the time.
I usually always respond in those moments by saying
to myself…”I need to look UP more often and see
what I’m missing.” And in response to Hill’s
question…of course, it is evident to us now that
our brain’s are capable of far more than we use
them for in our everyday lives.
With regard to the intangible force of thought, and
the knowledge that through autosuggestion and the
power of the Master Mind principle that we can indeed
“work with” this intangible force…or let it work
against us.
Just the realization that we can affect this intangible
force of thought at all is amazing. I think it’s just
one of those little secrets that God planted for us to
find and realize, once again like the little child full
of awe watching the tiny seed grow into a beautiful
flower for Mommy…that no matter our age when we
discover it, the power of our thoughts is not a mistake,
but an amazing opportunity to make life as wonderful as
we want it to be…and let the rest go on by.
Friends Always,
Patti Blevins
