So when the mind starts getting antsy and wants to move around and think about things and analyze things, and it starts telling you that you're stupid to sit here and not think, remind it that not everything has to be thought through, not everything has to be analyzed.

Mind into Matter, my goal was to show that within your own mind and body lies a majestic story filled with drama, pathos, humor, intelligence, fantasy, and fact.
Matter into Feeling is divided into nine chapters, each framed by the nine letter-symbols of the Hebrew alphabet, or “aleph-bayt.” In Mind into Matter we dealt with the archetypes spirit, represented by aleph (a, 1), through structure, represented by tayt (f, 9).
Matter into Feeling, then, looks at the continual movement of the nine mental/material seed archetypes into living symbols, literally a transformation of matter—already embodying mind—into life, the feeling and awareness of matter.

 The Copernican Series
The way the mind allows animate matter to move safely within the environment is to produce pictures that are approximate replicas of the environment, and then it encodes those pictures in memory units much as evolutionary characteristics are stored in genes, and those memory units are stored in the physical matter of the brain.
Thus, when the mind receives a electrical flows from a picture of external reality, the brain's electrical flows adjusts to the electrical flow of the picture, and course through the physical matter of the brain to find similar pictures.
Because animate matter, once it forms the pictures of reality around it, continuously recalls pictures of that reality as it moves through it, as long as reality agrees with recall, the animate matter feels that it is safe.

After the passing away of the physical body (matter), the mental forces (mind) recombine and assume a new combination in a different material form and condition another existence.
