Words are Drugs

Everyone unknowingly wants to have their brain chemistry continually altered. This includes everything from ice cream to greed. Were it not for the brain no one would seek beyond the plainest of fare at the Primary Level [physical-body]. The Secondary Level [thought-based, cultural] is specifically for directly stimulating the brain chemistry. There is no option for men, they must engage in Secondary Level activity for such stimulation; talk is the necessary agent in this. Thought itself shifts the brain chemistry. Words are the ultimate brain mutagen. Words are drugs; memory is an exceptional packaging for the reuse of same. Words have a much greater impact, power over the brain than any physical drugs. Were this not the case, why would anyone heed words? (Jan Cox, Feb 11, 1990)
