100 The Secret History of the World
An individual who has undertaken the process of developing perspicacity in
terms of the self, once he has learned to discern between his lies to himself and
what is true about himself, can then begin to extend this ability to external
knowledge. At that point, the information and observations he or she has been
collecting without prejudice will make a “knowledge unit-ligand”. When that
happens, when a “piece of the puzzle” finally jumps into the right slot of
understanding, THEN a whole cascade of things begins to happen just as it
happens in the body when a ligand binds receptors.
And at that point, the state changes. And this leads us to the most exciting
information about this “separating the milk from the cream” process.
As it happens, sometimes the information communicated to the interior of the
cell by the ligands involves instructions to turn specific genes in the cell on or off!
The same gene in different environments can produce many variations on a given
trait and influence the expression of other genes. What is more, it is a scientific
fact that changes in thoughts and behavior are reflected in changes in the
synapses.
It has been shown that Electric potentials release serotonin onto the synaptic
terminals, and there is sufficient anecdotal evidence about electrical shocks
producing changes in an individual that result in manifestation of “super-normal
abilities” as we have already described, that we must stop and consider this
question. As we have also noted, having had such abilities “turned on” by either
the accident of genetics, an electrical shock, or a blow to the head, does not
necessarily relate to the individual being spiritually advanced. What we can
surmise from this item of information is that the serotonin released as a result of
electric shock must somehow “skip a step” in a potentially natural process of DNA
activation, that is potential in all of us to one extent or another.
In other words, is there a natural process whereby serotonin is released in large
quantities in concert with other ligands which can literally turn on DNA that
activates a full range of “paranormal” abilities and that also are directly related to
one’s spiritual maturity?
There are far more exciting considerations about DNA potentials, but, for the
moment, we will leave the subject with the warning that failing to properly
“separate” the cream from the milk means that the Seeker will not even get to the
point where he can skim the cream off and utilize it. What is even worse,
“binding” oneself to that which is false may produce temporary “feel good”
results, but in the long run, it not only blocks the possibility of binding Truth, it
perpetuates itself by reducing the ability to perceive/bind with truth at ALL. Every
single choice to accept something as Truth, to make a “leap of assumption”, is a
psychic ligand binding to a spiritual receptor. If what is believed is a lie, it is
equivalent, in the brain, to a “false” ligand, like heroin. After awhile, there is no
longer anywhere for Truth to bind or seat, and the condition of the Seeker is worse
than before he began his quest in the same way an individual who has become a
skid-row bum by his use of alcohol and/or drugs was far better off before he began
his descent into addiction. The fact is: lies ARE addicting. They are made that way
on purpose.
However, in terms of the Quest for the Holy Grail, as in the Alchemical pursuit
of the Philosopher’s Stone, just as it is in the case of the body potentials, when
