    About this ebook

    When you realize what a corridor is, mind traveling becomes easy. You see, the entire universe is made of invisible layers of parallel corridors. In fact, you are living inside the primary one right now; all the other corridors are just empty prototypes. In fact, they may or may not ever be used, but you can switch your thoughts into one that is nearby. It is what you do every time you think. Sometimes you may run into someone else in a parallel corridor.

    The structure of the corridors is of the kind that allows things to happen instead of preventing things from happening. There is a very big difference, as it is easier for the universe to let things happen than to make them happen. That is why we must often step aside.

    Just wait until you accidentally mind travel into your own corridor, you know, the one you are living in right now. You will be able to travel within your own future as well as remember your own past and you will know everything that is happening all around you. Ever had that feeling? It is called deja vu.

    Author

    Brad G. Berman

    I graduated in 1969 with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Oregon State University. My employment has included OSU as well as Hewlett Packard. My main hobby and pastime is creative writing. As a creative writer, I like to look at the world of words and physics from new points of view, hoping to discover a pathway not yet taken. I have, for over 60 years, maintained that, once you figure out how the brain works, then you will have captured the essence of the entire universe. This reasoning is simple, considering that the brain is the pinnacle of nature's creations, thus it must be important enough to be worthy of examination.

      Whence the Mind

      Corridors of the mind are the places that visit us in our dreams and provide little story fragments that amuse, sometimes scare and sometimes contain strangers in strange places. We usually forget them within seconds of awakening but we remember the profound, full color real dreams on into the day. Sometimes they occur as hallway scenes, sometimes in rooms, sometimes we find ourselves walking through strange buildings, often feeling lost. We sometimes fly like a bird from one place to another, looking down, as if from above. Most often, we are in familiar surroundings with friends. Where are these corridors coming from? It is one of the major unanswered questions of life and it is the subject of this story.

      One of the greatest curiosities facing humankind has been about the source of our dreams, hence the source of the mind. Consequently, there are countless names given to this mind source, among the most common being the soul, the spirit, the force of form, and the Cause. There are also countless religious names and references, going clear back to the first written and cave-drawn recordings of the human race.

      Besides being the source of our dreams, below are just a few of the many things that can be attributed to the invisible Cause. It is:

      * The source that animates our material world

      * How atoms morph into life forms from raw DNA

      * The storage place of the past, the source of the future

      * The source of all thoughts, the storehouse of all memories

      * The source of all knowledge, curiosity and speculation

      * Where we go when we pass on

      * Where we were before we were born

      * The source of Reincarnation

      * The source of the laws of physics

      * The source of mathematical relationships

      In order to investigate this unknown, we will be discussing, on a very simple level, a few of the relevant things at hand:

      * The properties of matter

      * The properties of space and time

      * The structure of thought

      * The structure of the brain and how it is accessing thought

      * How the spirit intelligently animates the entire material world

      * Psychic phenomena

      The physical world acts as a sensory readout, a kind of feedback to our actions, an instrument panel that serves to guide us through life. On occasion, within our very limited view, we get a glimpse of the existence of a hidden force, a tease from the invisible that temporarily whets our thirst for knowledge of the unknown.

      We humans, as well as all sentient beings, are being animated by an invisible mysterious force, yet the human body is made of the same material as soil. So, one may wonder: what is this mysterious force of form that motivates simple atoms into combining into living things, thus setting us apart from the lower kingdom of raw material? Then we may wonder where we were before we were born, where do we go when we die, and what
