CHAPTER 8
TO GROW MORE SENSES
Within his extensive health books, built upon LAWSONOMY Principles, copyrighted in the year of 1923 by Alfred Lawson, Chapter 21 MANLIFE contains the following useful information for all mankind to think seriously about for greater mental culture. It says:
“Growth does not begin at its fullness but requires time for development.
“Man, today, has five usable senses which have been developed by and are attuned to the atmospheric or chemical conditions which surround the earth. His sense of sight has been developed by sunlight; his sense of taste by liquids, his sense of smell by gases, his sense of hearing by sounds, his sense of feeling by pressure of substances or temperature.
“In the first stages of man’s growth these five senses were all he needed for self preservation but as he grows beyond primitive needs and as his increasing consciousness inquires into the mysteries of the universe he discovers the necessity for more senses and greater power of understanding.
“Even man’s economic development which brings the different peoples of the world into closer relationship or the necessity of more efficient methods of production and distribution of necessities and luxuries show the need for more and greater senses to go beyond the course he has already traveled.
“Man has a long way to go before he will be full grown. He knows nothing of the earth beneath its crust and very little about the atmosphere surrounding it. He has not yet learned how to regulate the weather nor how to live high up in the air, nor has he even learned how to navigate the air. It astounds him when I say that he can eventually navigate the heavens.
“Man has not yet learned how to harness or mix sunlight with other substances of greater density for power and light- ing and heating purposes. He knows nothing about transprocession for the elimination of useless transportation.
“Man knows nothing about the composition of mentality or how it is received and transmitted by the mental organs. It makes man dizzy to try and understand Zig-Zag-an-Swirl movement. He does not yet understand the Law of Penetrability which causes all movement through difference in density, or why sound and mentality are substances.
“The continual desire to acquire consciousness capable of understanding the rules of the universe will gradually produce in man more and greater senses than those he now uses.
“For instance, it is possible to extend the mental faculties of man beyond the skin of his body and transmit his thoughts to other minds thousands of miles away with speed that seems instantaneous, owing to the extraordinary penetrating qualities of mentality.
“Penetrability causes mentality to pass in currents through solids, fluids, gases, light, heat and other substances of greater or lesser density to organs capable of absorbing it, irrespective of distance.
“When communication by mentality is understood and practiced it will be possible for Jones, seated in his office in New York, to not only see Smith in his office in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Pekin or Tokio, but also to talk to him, hear his voice and even feel the heat or muscular force of his handshake. The consciousness of Jones being centered upon Smith will cause his mind to transmit his thoughts by pressure to Smith whose consciousness in turn being centered upon Jones will draw them into his own mind by suction and vice versa.
“All exchanges of thoughts between Jones and Smith will be accomplished with such marvelous speed that it will appear instantaneous and as if their bodies were close together and in actual contact with each other. Jones will see Smith in Smith’s office and Smith will see Jones in Jones’ office while they are conversing.
“This super-sense when developed in man will not only bring into his economic life newer and more rapid business methods but will also cause absolute honesty in all transactions as well as a very high state of morality to exist because it will be impossible for anyone to live under false pretenses, either in thoughts or action. Any human being will be able to know what his neighbor is thinking about which will tend to make the thoughts of man cleaner and more effective.
“Until the whole human race thinks and acts collectively with a single purpose in view, similar to that shown by man’s own mental faculties in moving his body through harmonious and collective action by the Menorgs, the highest state of Manlife will not have been reached.
“The study of Lawsonomy including Zig-Zag-and-Swirl movement will develop in man a new sense of dimensions and proportions that he has no conception of at the present time and will cause him to take an interest in great cosmic plans as well as the little affairs that take up his time in his own atmosphere.
“Continuous consciousness is another super-sense that man will develop as he increases his brain capacity and understanding of natural laws. It is possible for man to acquire the power to perpetuate himself.”
