ALPHABETICAL BRAIN™ VOCABULARY HUMANIST FAMILY BRAIN STUDY SECTION 2 OF THE INTRODUCTION SECTION 2 WHAT DOES THE ALPHABETICAL BRAIN™ SYMBOL MEAN? The Alphabetical Brain™ Symbol represents the unique relationship between your brain, which contains the most complex three pounds of organic matter in the universe, and the universal English language with its 26 letter alphabet, which contains the most complex system of sophisticated words and grammatical rules of any modern language. When you learn the profound scientific truths about the evolutionary origins of your brain, you will be amazed at the brainpower you actually have because of the interactive connection between your brain tissue and the English language. That connection is what gives you the ability to think and feel and predict the most probable outcomes that your conscious willpower can achieve. Your personal free will is an evolutionary bonus since being able to make choices in order to adapt to changing or hostile conditions is a necessity for your survival. Your brainpower, which is the intelligent use of your ability to think and reason, requires the courage to use your imagination to empower yourself. That is what brainpower means! It takes courage to make independent choices when powerful arbitrary cultural traditions and social values are different than your own personal humanistic values. In addition, the new brain ideas can help you unlearn many erroneous opinions about reality, such as: many incorrect traditional metaphorical myths (false explanations about history); many fallacies (false beliefs about reality); and many prejudices (false social stereotypes). Since the Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries, when scientists (natural philosophers) first began discovering the genuine truths about reality, humanity has benefitted tremendously from all kinds of scientific investigations including outstanding advances in medicine. And in the modern world, the scientific method has become the trusted experimental process for determining provisional empirical facts about the true processes of nature. Today the most important way new discoveries are made about how human brains work is by doing research based upon secular humanistic values. Therefore, when you choose to understand the relationship between your brain and your mind in a scientific context, you will be able to understand the basis of your expansive intelligence and your unique personality. WHY THIS MATTERS: The Alphabetical Brain™ Symbol represents the interactive connection between your physical brain tissue and the alphabet of the universal English language, which empowers you to use your free will and imagination to actualize personal humanistic goals.
