are joined together by a very substantial band of
transmission fibres called the corpus callosum. We also
have a reticular activating system, RAS for short.
(Don't forget I keep all my knowledge about the brain,
specifically directed to the goal seeking aspects).
This is the very same hardware, that,
programmed correctly has put man on the moon,
invented the electric light bulb, punk rock, the pet
rock, pet dragon, computer, silicon chips, fish and
chips, automobile, submarine, submarine sandwich
and a hundred million other useful inventions or
discoveries that makes the world such an exciting
place to live in. This same hardware, when inserted
with incorrect programs, has caused thousands of
people to fail and has caused untold misery,
unhappiness, depression and in some cases premature
death.
The hardware also consists of over two hundred
billion cells that are called neurons. These cells are all
linked together by an absolutely amazing network of
transmission fibres. Some of these cells have over ten
thousand connections linking them to other cells. So
intricate is the network of cells and transmission fibres
that there is not a single cell in the whole network that
cannot communicate with another cell anywhere in
the entire network. A little bit like the global
telephone system. If you have a phone, you can call
any number in the world, providing you have the
correct number.
So it is with the two hundred billion cells in your
biocomputer, they can all communicate with each
other, if they want to, and they sometimes do! Those
cells are filled with chemicals, including potassium
and sodium and they generate tiny amounts of
electricity. (The biocomputer operates very efficiently
on one tenth of a volt of electricity.) Whatever
