The Shining Ones (see www.radikalbooks.com) exercised control by seeming to know exactly what we were thinking, what worried us, what pleased us and, most importantly, how the environment affected us. To manipulate mankind in this way they had to understand how the brain worked. Our understanding and perception of ourselves and the world around us stems from this unique and complex organ.
The brain reacts strongly to cyclic patterns in the environment. Functions such as sleep, consciousness, memory, imagination and our creative ability are all extremely complex and poorly understood, and yet they too are affected by our reaction to cyclic patterns and electromagnetic radiation.
In all cultures, approximately 90 per cent of people use the right hand for manual actions such as writing. This has been linked to the brain's processing of language. In right-handed people, language tends to be mediated by the left hemisphere of the brain, the side, which controls the right side of the body.
The cerebrum is symmetrical in structure. The two lobes are attached to the brain stem. The dominant hemisphere is occupied with language and the operations of logic, while the opposite hemisphere controls emotion, spirituality and artistic flair. The left hemisphere is usually dominant and is, in the majority of cases, the logical side. As the centuries pass, this is more likely to become the case.
Modern man is not alone in the possession of a spiritual element to the brain. There is a grave in Swaziland of a small Neanderthal child laid to rest over 80,000 years ago which provides evidence of early religious burial, and which shows that Neanderthal man was connected with his more spiritual or artistic side. The Neanderthal man had a large cerebellum or old brain. This has been shown by the British psychologist Stan Gooch to be the more creative and instinctive element of the brain. Gooch argues that evolution came about through the battles in our own brain between the cerebellum and the cerebrum. Any added input from cycles and electromagnetic effects upon the brain could produce subtle changes to our evolutionary path.
Physical evidence shows that women, who are by most accounts more in tune with nature and more intuitive than men, have larger cerebella. Historically, many of the great mysteries of the religious world come from the east and it would, therefore, be no surprise to find Asiatics, Jews and Aboriginals possessing larger cerebella than Europeans. It is believed that the cerebella is more in use during hypnosis, which is the state associated with imagination and removal of responsibility. No wonder therefore that a powerful secret society of the ancients should utilise this element of the brain for control.
