                             The Brain’s Superior Nerve Cells

                      Everything that you do, think, say, or feel takes place inside

                 the brain. Nerves belonging to the brain, known as neurons, make
                 such communication possible. An average neuron is 10 microns in
                 size, and a micron is equivalent to .001 millimeter. They are so small
                 that 50 average-sized ones could fit into the period at the end of this
                 sentence. The brain contains an average of 100 billion neurons. It
                 would take us 3,171 years to count all of them; if we laid them out
                 end to end, they would stretch for 1,000 kms (621.4 miles). The
                 presence of such an extensive communication network in an organ
                 that represents only 2% of a human being’s body weight is certain-
                 ly a wondrous miracle. 1
                      Even if we were to bring together all man-made communica-
                 tion networks in the world, we could never obtain such a system-
                 atic, complex, flawless, and rapid system. This system must func-
                 tion in an incredible state of activity to produce even the smallest

                                 movement that we wish to make. Each person was
                                         given this flawless communication system
                                             while in the womb. No technology in
                                                 the world can compare with the
