Understanding

This is why we are here- To understand and apply our understanding. I would like to understand how to make a raw chocolate candy bar. That is hard to grasp. It seems easier to understand what the world is made of. Easier when you read about it well explained. Jill Taylor-Bolt had a severe stroke in her brain. She is a neuroanatamist. She explains very well what the world is and how we function in a book called 'My Stroke of Insight'. The world is composed of atoms. Atoms are made of energy. This is a most amazing thing. We see objects but they aren't really solid objects. When you see a propeller of an airplane spinning real fast you don't see the individual blades but see what looks like an object. Atoms of your desk and atoms of your hand are going so fast that they can not integrate so they seem solid. Air is composed of molecules of oxygen, hydrogen and others. Yet we don't see these molecules. What we see and hear and smell and taste and touch is our brain's construction of the world that isn't complete. There are ultraviolet, infraread, ultrasonic, x-ray and an awful lot that is happening around us that we don't perceive. Everything is energy. The body and the mind are composed of energy. The body and mind work together as systems of energies. There are subtle energies, psychic energies that we can understand. We can apply this understanding to better our state.
