Glossary of
Pleneurethical Terms
|
Editor’s Note: This glossary, prepared by
Richard Collier, is complete, unabridged and international in scope. It
includes the critical terms relating to Pleneurethics. The list is helpful
for reading the books on Pleneurethics and the articles in the
Journal of Pleneurethics.
Absolute:
Prime source of all force that prevails behind the grid of Absolute Law
from which the universe is elaborated.
Absolute Ethics:
Although it can never be fully articulated, absolute ethics is a system of
ethics based on the belief and conduct which enhances the preservation and
proper cultivation of the entire living community.
Absolute First Cause:
Unlike the Aramaic force, the Absolute First Cause is inflexible. It is
distant, remote, and unapproachable by humans. It moves according to its
own rule. It automatically administers punishment for infringement of any
edict of Absolute Law.
Absolute Law:
Basic array of force from which the universe is draped. From the network
of force, which stands as a buffer between the universe and the first
source, or Absolute principle, such things are derived as mass,
temperature, velocity, orbit, light, consciousness, and life.(See Plate I,
page 28.)
Acute Anxiety:
(See “Anxiety, acute.”)
Analysis, Pleneurethical:
Analysis based upon processes in which the structure of the brain, either
micro or macro, or both, is modified sympathetically by structural
alteration in the several surrounding environments immediate to the brain. Anger: Anger is one of a number of possible reactions to frustration, unresolved conflict, insulting provocation, impotence, and incompetence. Chronic anger is often a prominent symptom in the complex behavioral pattern devolving from chronic brain depleneurization.
Anxiety:
Worry, apprehension, and mental torment with accompanying somatic
symptoms.
Anxiety, acute:
Derives chiefly from acute disorder in the brain caused by psychological
disorder and/or malstructuring of the intellect from fear of psychological
derivation.
Anxiety, chronic:
Derives from chronic disorder in the brain caused by chronic injury to the
bioductory system tissues in the more cephalward portion of the system. Anxiety, chronic and acute: Worry, apprehension, and mental torment with accompanying somatic symptoms characteristic of anxiety that appear in two basic forms: acute and chronic. “Chronic anxiety” invariably manifests itself in two ways: vague but intense mental torment, including guilt, anger and apprehension; and chronic degenerative somatic illness usually running a long course ending in heart attacks, paralysis, sleeplessness, impotence and death after commencing with hyperactivity of the parts in its early stages. Chronic anxiety syndrome derives from chronic disorder in the brain system caused by chronic injury to bioductory tissues in the more cephalward portions of the system. “Acute anxiety” derives chiefly from acute disorder in the brain system caused by psychological disorder and malstructuring of the intellect. Malstructure of the intellect and resulting psychological problems may, as in chronic illness, adversely affect both mental demeanor and somatic well-being and may simulate many symptoms of chronic degenerative illness. Both forms accumulate to affect total sufficiency of the central neural system and each receives further degenerative amplification and reinforcement from the other form if and when existent. Each form may also reinforce itself degeneratively as the condition deteriorates, and thereby may add to the overall neurological burden. Successful discrimination of chronic illness from acute illness, the two basic forms of illness, is impossible without the Pleneurethical viewpoint. Successful treatment is also hindered without the Pleneurethical outlook.
Aram:
A principle of Absolute Law - the animatory force of nature.
Aramification:
Animation of material by Aramaic force to produce an individual of any
species now or to evolve later.
Bioduct:
Synonymous with vitaduct. (See “Bioductory system.”)
Bioductory exercises:
Bioductory exercises are physical exercises designed to promote health
through the restoration and maintenance of bioductory fitness. Bioductory system: Protective environment of ducts which encloses the brain and the remainder of the neural system. The bioductory system escorts, contains, and protects the brain, spinal cord, nerve roots, and the peripheral nerve system. The bioductory system has a normal range of flexibility, but if this range of movement is traumatically exceeded, the bioduct is either structurally distorted so that it does not automatically return to normal, or it is broken completely. Chronic bioductory disorder causes chronic brain problems and establishes the source of the chronic illness process. This is especially true when sections of the bioductory system more cephalward are traumatically malstructured (bioductosis). (See “Bioductosis.”)
Bioductosis:
Chronic disorder in the bioductory system and immediately adjacent area.
First cause of the chronic illness process.
Bioencephalic (Bioencephology):
Pertaining to the prime tenant of Pleneurethics which is that the health
of the brain provides basic potential for mental and physical health, and
the study of the brain and the process by which brain energy is generated,
conserved, and expended in health/disease statics and dynamics. Biolinkage: Interaction, omnilateral and concatenative, between the brain system and the several surrounding systems of the human body. Biomechanics: Study of the relationship between anatomical structure, biological function, and content of somatic tissues. More especially the physioneurological relationship between central bioductory structure, associated neurological tissue structure, and function and content. Biomechanics also includes the neuro- psychological influence of central neurological tissues on mentality. Stability of central neural tissues is a prerequisite for normal stability and mentality. Mechanical normalization of key physical structures and gross anatomy of the human body to produce optimum brain system structure and function; accomplished or supervised by a doctor of physics and healing from the college of physics rather than chemistry.
Biomental:
Pertaining to the notion in Pleneurethics that the mentality develops as a
worldly bridge between an individual’s mind and brain to expedite
interaction between the two entities. Biomental structures influence acute
brain loading and health/disease statics and dynamics.
Biophysical:
Pertaining to the use in Pleneurethics of physics and physical forces to
repair chronic damage to the structure of the bioductory system, thereby
influencing chronic brain loading and health/disease statics and dynamics.
Biophysics:
The employment of physical force vectored to restructure the bioductory
system after it has been accidentally traumatized.
Biopsychical (Biopsyche):
Pertaining to the use of the mind (psyche) in Pleneurethics to repair
acute damage to the mentality, thereby influencing acute brain loading and
health/disease statics and dynamics.
Body:
In Pleneurethics the body is separated from the brain in several
fundamental ways. Physical competence is developed over the years as the
body and the brain interrelate and mature. Much the same can be said for
the mind and the brain as they interrelate to eventually produce a
stunningly complex mentality. Brain: The brain frames the range of mentality, furnishes vigor of thought, and sees to somatic system coordination. All events affecting the human being accumulate and cause tension in the brain. The heated argument, nagging doubt, sliver in the finger, smashed thumb, broken leg, upset gland, flaccid artery, damaged bioduct - all have their own local effect. They also impose an impactive burden upon the brain, placing a demand on some of its energy resources and, in doing so, depressing it from internal stress.Pleneurethics is concerned, by definition, with the study and management of brain capability and central neurological fidelity. Pleneurethics is in an appropriate position to diagnose problems and to apply techniques involving both mind and body as they affect and are in turn affected by the brain, and more importantly to accurately discriminate the cases involving problems more of one than the other. A peaceful and placid brain confers a similar character to mentality; a chronically unstable brain predisposes mentality to violent instability and somatic disability.
Brain distortion:
Loading that changes the micro and macro structure of the brain cells,
thereby altering the range of function of these brain cells and ultimately
their chemical content.
Brain failure:
Cessation of life due to brain nonfunction. Often misdiagnosed as heart
attack.
Brain loading:
That process which imposes strain on the structure of brain cells. May be
of quadaxial genesis, e.g., mental, chemical, physical, or cultural.
Brain, overload:
Excessive demand for brain function or loading that buckles and distorts
its micro structure; that which applies inordinate demand on brain energy
resources. Variable according to brain’s ability to deliver functioning
energy as required by somatic and mental activity.
Brain response:
Brain activity, often extraordinarily intense in initial stages,
associated with repleneurization of cerebellar tissues following
Pleneurethical operations; reverses and cures the previous pattern of
chronic illness. Brain stress and tension: Brain stress, when excessive for the condition of the brain, generates diseases of most diabolical dimensions known to humankind. Brain stress illnesses produce or simulate every ailment and symptom possible for human beings to experience. Brain stress accumulates layer upon layer of both chronic and acute stresses which combine in limitless variety to produce grotesque patterns of disease with each reinforcing the other. Pleneurethics removes the cause of brain stress and restores brain capability to cure the cause of chronic illness. Brain tension may be acute or chronic and either type of tension may lead to impairment of brain capability. Chronic brain tension results from chronic bioductory distortions of physiological traumatic origin. Such brain tension is pathological and causes the chronic degenerative disease process. It commences as a microstructural and functional disturbance, but it later manifests gross structural deterioration with visible lesions and content deterioration. Acute brain disturbance may result variously from psychological problems, noise pollution, and toxins. Much chronic brain tension is mistakenly diagnosed as acute and of psychological or nutritional genesis; hence, a dietetic, drug, or mental therapy is mistakenly thought to be indicated. Such therapy is uniformly non-curative. Brain/mind mechanisms: Many mechanisms of thought are haphazard. Expedient methods of eliminating acute brain tension is the quickest and easiest manner. Thus, if a person fails the examination or becomes involved in an argument, misunderstanding or act of bad judgment, he reduces the resulting acute brain tension by excusing himself and transferring the blame to another party or some other external factor. People hastily adopt imprudent mechanisms of thought to vindicate themselves and to reduce brain tension as rapidly as possible, forgetting the long-term results. Chronic brain tension from biotorsitis is uncomfortable and causes chronic mental anxiety which cannot be erased by mental mechanisms, no matter how hard one tries. Acute brain tension of psychological origin may cause acute anxiety, augmenting chronic brain tension, if present. Response to the acute episode will be graduated according to the total stress load.
Brain system:
The brain system includes the brain with its spinal cord, peripheral
nerves, and cranial nerves. The brain system is coterminous with the
bioductory system.
Cancer:
Abnormal tissues deposited or
formed by the chronic illness process; such cancer is amenable to cure by
reversing that disease process pleneurethically.
Cerechemosis:
Structural and functional distortion of brain tissues caused by
malchemistry of the blood. Acute cerechemosis is basically of dietary and
environmental or cultural etiology. When chronic, the malchemistry of the
blood in the brain is generated from within the body by the chronic
illness process and ensuing organic malfunction. The congenital form of
cerechemosis is also recognized. It devolves from acute and chronic
parental conditions which irreversibly distort the brain structure of the
fetus.
Cerementosis:
The study of structural and functional distortion of brain cell tissues
due to mental malstructure and other mental causes.
Cerephilosophy:
Philosophy based upon a study of the brain and related structures.
Cerephysics:
Study of the bilateral relationship between the brain and the physical
structure of the human body.
Cerepsychology:
Study of mind/brain relationships and the mental structures they produce.
Cerepsychosis:
The study of mind alteration caused by chronic brain changes. Character, Pleneurethical: The ability and moral strength to live up to one’s word after it has been given. This is a true test, especially when one subsequently regrets having given his word, yet scrupulously honors his commitment nevertheless.
Chronic: Disorders of the mind and body in which an affliction of the central neural system, more especially depleneurization of the brain and spinal cord, is the direct cause. Chronic disorders will not regenerate to normal with the passage of time, changing mentality, improvement of diet, or with bed rest, because the central neurological requirement for good health has been diminished chronically. Bioductory trauma, especially in those regions more cephalward, is the most common cause of chronic irritation and depression of the central neural system with eventual chronic depression of energy necessary to power the mentality and coordinate the somatic body. Following a violent exacerbation with high fever and delirium, part or all of the brain may be destroyed. The case then is no longer chronic; and, even if death does not occur, the patient is in an irreversible condition. A cure cannot be achieved by Pleneurethical means. The term “chronic” is not of Pleneurethical coinage; however, the meaning imputed to it is markedly different from other schools. It must be noted that many schools now copy the Pleneurethical lead in this and many other matters. Pathological degeneration of neural tissue in the brain caused by neuralosis leads to both chronic mental turmoil and chronic organic pathology. Chronic anxiety is not amenable to a verbal or counseling approach; and chronic somatic illness is not curable by drugs, diet, prayer or exercise. Persistent illness, including all forms of mental and somatic disorder, is caused by chronic disorder in the central neural system due to neuralosis. Chronic ailments may be reinforced by acute ailments when they occur, each becoming more serious because of the overlap.
Chronic anxiety:
(See “Anxiety, chronic.”) Chronic illness process: The chronic illness process commences with a chronic distortion in the bioductory system caused by any force exerted on the bioductory system from which it does not fully recover. Such a chronic bioductory distortion creates a chronic problem to the central nerve tracts and related somatic tissues, and to the brain as well.
Once a chronic problem is installed in
the brain from bioductory distortion, the chronic illness process
commences. Mentality is disturbed and so is the body along with its
glands, blood, bones, muscle and skin. The exact pattern of the mental and
physical disturbance process, and the speed
Coaxiality:
The structure of the brain as related to the structure of mind, physical
body, chemical body, and the outside world. (See Plate II, page 45.)
Consciousness:
A product of brain function perceived, by the region of mind associated
with it, as life.
Consilient:
Reorganizing knowledge in fewer and simpler, self-evident categories - the
unity of knowledge beyond traditional academic disciplines.
Content:
Material from which a structure is composed or constituted. Correction, Pleneurethical: Pleneurethics heals the whole person by restructuring both the macro and micro structure of the brain after is has been disaffected. Pleneurethics achieves its beneficial results not by a direct attack upon the brain as in surgery or radiation; rather, the brain is addressed indirectly by manipulating the quandrantal environments of the brain, mainly the structure of the blood, mental structure, biophysical structure of the bioductory system, and relevant social structures, all of which may from time to time resonate inharmoniously with the brain.
(Note: In the 1960s when I decided to
employ the word “correction,” I viewed it with mixed emotions because it
was already being utilized by state penitentiaries. It was not being used
by any other school of healing. However, within a few Creation: Space and time were established by the Pleneurethics deity to create an eternal receptacle within which a cosmos could be fabricated. Whether the cosmos was created in a short duration ethereal flash or over countless eons by the laws of the deity is of no concern to the philosophy of Pleneurethics.
Death:
An irreversible result of
structural brain collapse and functional failure (in the case of the
chronic illness process). Depleneurization: Chronic depleneurization of brain capability due to bioductory trauma is a very subtle process which is so subtle that it seems mysterious and unworldly. Early stages may manifest hyperactivity followed by hypoactivity. When the pleneurization is chronic, brain irritation, depression, and trauma are from neuralosis. Acute depleneurization may come from intellectosis and may simulate chronic depleneurization for short periods of time. During the initial stage irritation to neurological tissues may occur with temporary acceleration of various body and mental functions. Depleneurization adversely affects both mind and body systems. Depleneurization is characterized, in average cases, by a slow micro-modification of brain tissue structure and content with a consequent retarding of brain function. Later, macro-structural changes are manifest in brain tissue. The total deterioration is accelerated.
Depleneurize:
Debilitating process that reduces brain competence.
Depression:
A product of brain hypoactivity. May be chronic, acute, or both. Reduces
the level of mental, physical, and visceral functions. Disease: A natural biological process whose cure rests in reversing the course of its worldly cause. No element of alleged supra-natural spiritual or infranatural devil forces are involved in disease.
Dream: A neuromental process during sleep associated with reduction
of brain tension caused by mental efforts involved in events of a
preceding day or days.
Dream, day:
Undisciplined neuromental process while awake to reduce ordinary
cerebellar tension.
Engines:
All engines, animate or inanimate, exhibit identical characteristics,
e.g., input, output, structure, function, and content. Operation of an
engine produces functional stresses and tensions on its structure which
are abnormal and pathological if the structure is grossly overloaded or
has been previously damaged, and normal if the structure of the engine is
not grievously insulted. The brain is the central engine of man and the
structural entity to which Pleneurethics is primarily addressed. Of
secondary significance is the structure of the mind’s mentality, physics
of the body, chemistry of the soma, and the external environment.
Enlightenment, pure and total:
Product of a mentality structured in harmony with the Absolute Ethic of
Pleneurethics. Seldom, if ever, achieved completely by any one person.
Environments of brain:
The brain is surrounded and permeated by the chemistry of blood, physics
of gross anatomy, mentality of mind, and the culture of civilization.
Pleneurethics restructures these environments to repleneurize the brain.
The chronic illness process is thereby reversed and the foundation for
spontaneous health is elaborated.
Ethical being, inner:
Present in every individual, it is a rock of tranquillity beyond the reach
of personal adversity. The mind has access to it. It is the personal
being, giving perspective and meaning to life, and refuge from terror.
Ethicosis:
Refers to a condition wherein the intellect is not cognizant of the
eternal ethical guides to mentation available in the ultrallect. A person
suffering ethicosis simply does not ethically know right from wrong. Ethics: The constructive utilization of central neurological energy by proper attitude of mentality for improving the quality of life and meaning of civilization.
Exercise, mental: Mind drills that facilitate creation of
Pleneurethical thought structure and aid establishment of cerebellar
endurance essential to the rigorous quest for precise perceptions of
absolute scientific truth and eternal ethics.
Exercise, physical:
Calisthenics designed to maintain normal flexibility and tone of all
anatomical structures, especially the bioductory system and associated
brain system tissues.
Exercise, Pleneurethical:
Pleneurethical exercise is any drill to repleneurize the brain. Feeling of chronic illness: Mind awareness of the condition of brain tissue producing sensations which, depending upon the state of the brain, range from those of unquenchable well-being to total despair and apathy inherent in terminal stages of chronic illness. Mental awareness of brain tissue instabilities responsible for the chronic illness process that generate feelings of vague but intense chronic discomfort. Such feelings are real, not imagined. The mind senses the chronic cerebellar tissue turbulence of the chronic illness process and interprets it as headache, dizziness, apprehension, or disease. The structure of mentality predisposes the sufferer toward his or her own particular analysis of the cause and proper treatment of the disease, discomfort, or disability. The process is to be discriminated from acute mentoneurological mechanisms wherein troublesome problems of mentality acutely disturb cerebellar tissue. Feelings of distress evoked by acute mentoneurological mechanisms may be completely cured by the verbal approach or by changing the scene or occupation. However, chronic diseases and distress elicited by chronic bioductory mechanisms, even though they may be temporarily assuaged by psychotherapy, are cured only by addressing physical corrective force toward disordered sectors of the bioductory system. Function: Function is the derivative of an operating structure. Once a device or engine has been designed and fabricated, its functional characteristics are a posteriori and are controlled by the design of its structure. Any alteration of its structure, brought about by something such as an accident, inevitably produces concomitant and aberrant changes in its characteristic function. Restoration of function to normal is accomplished by repairing the structure, and restoring it to its original structural interrelationships. In Pleneurethics, there are two types of functions: the function that is envisioned in the planning stages prior to construction of a device (a priori), and the function that actually results once the contraption has been built and is operational (a posteriori).
Function, a posteriori:
After a plan for a device has
been crystallized and fabricated, the actual operating function of the
device is a posteriori and is closely controlled by its structural
design. Modification of the basic structure of any device or engine will
engender concomitant functional changes in its operation. Functional
irregularities in a machine (animate or inanimate) caused by structural
damage can best be returned to normal by repair of the offending
structural deviation.
Function, a priori:
The anticipated function of a device is essential in the creative planning
stage of its structure. Thus, in the planning stage of a new device or
engine, the manner in which it is destined to function is primary and
dominant. A priori function refers to the manner in which a
structure, being contemplated in the design stage, is envisioned by its
creator to function after the device has been built. Very often, in the
real world, the anticipated a priori function of a device is
glorious, indeed. It does not, however, come up to the mark when it
actually commences to function in the a posteriori stage.
Gantry of PLEND:
Diagram depicting PLEND and the forces emanating from PLEND which cause
the formation of the cosmos. PLEND stands for the Pleneurethics deity.
God of Pleneurethics:
The deity in Pleneurethics consists of the First Cause behind the prime
principles that establish the structure and function of the universe. It
has no gender, nor does it hear supplication. Health: A spontaneous biological process promoted and fostered by unimpaired brain structure and function.
Heart Attack:
A nebulous phrase often, and erroneously, referring to seizure or death
resulting primarily from brain problems. Preventive measures for such
cases are best addressed to brain system rehabilitation, rather than to
the circulatory system.
Illness, acute:
Caused by vectors other than those responsible for chronic brain
disturbance. Generally heals with passage of time.
Illness, chronic:
Condition caused by degenerative disturbance or injury to the brain from
bioductosis. Will not cure itself.
Illness, congenital:
Derives from a permanent brain defect occurring during gestation. Is not
amenable to Pleneurethics therapy. Immune System: The role of the immune system is derived from and equivalent to the function of the brain system. The brain system, when unblemished and communicating effortlessly and faithfully with its somatic and mental environments, will abolish any pre-existing chronic illness and will automatically provide the potential for health and well-being. Infrallect (infraconsciousness): Associated with that part of the brain’s activity which presides over the operation of the visceral and vascular body segments. Infrallectosis: Malstructure of the infrallect through hypnosis, habitual denial, or discouragement of specific body functions. Intellect (intellectual consciousness): That sector of the mentality devoted to ordinary conscious activity and thought. Intellectosis: Malstructure of the belief structure of the intellect. Intellectosis with its mental conflict may acutely depleneurize cerebellar tissues. Law, personal: Personal law springs from the depth of the individual and is based on the survival requirements of the physical body, the mentality, and the ethical superstructure. Life: Involvement of mind in flesh through brain. Cerebellar structure with resulting characteristic function determines body form and mental potential for the species generally, as well as for the individual specifically. Logo: The logo of Pleneurethics is a straight bar with five appendages. The straight bar represents the brain, and the five appendages represent the input, output, structure, function, and content inherent in any engine of man or nature.
page 103
Massage: If properly administered, massage promotes health by facilitating the flow of blood in the skeletal muscles, and by removing impediments in the peripheral musculature to the proper function of the nerves and soft bioductory systems transmitted herein. Brain function is impacted beneficially as a healthful corollary. In some instances proper massage may be of fundamental significance to a healthful life. Meditation, Pleneurethical: Stopping the flow of temporal thought in the mind, thereby creating a void into which universal intelligence and wisdom may enter and become apparent to the consciousness. Not to be used for self-help, but rather for the benefit of humankind and all other life on earth. However, simply because the technique of Pleneurethical meditation is mastered does not guarantee results. The person must have prepared himself/herself in other ways as well. Mentality: Product of interaction between brain and mind. Interpretation by mind of brain performance. Mentality is the part of the mind structured by conscious brain activity and life experiences. Mentality and mind are not synonymous. Mentosis: Reflection of neuralosis on the mind to produce chronic mental illness and chronic anxiety. Mind: The mind includes mentality, which is the part of the mind that is structured by association with the brain. Mind is not body, nor does it float freely and serenely alone. It is hooked to the brain, and is limited by the brain in a flexible manner. The mind uses brain tissue, especially the brain nerve cells. Each entity in turn modifies and is modifiable by the other. Stress in one entity produces stress in the other. Mental tension of psychological etiology produces acute collateral tension in the brain tissues associated with ordinary thought. The state of the brain also influences the power of thought as broad trends of mind. If the brain tissues are calm, so also does the mind have a stable physiological base. If brain tissues are jittery, upset and, finally, sedated from degenerative traumatic pathology, so also does the mind tend to become jittery, upset, and eventually sedated with every shortening span of attention. Along with any chronic degenerating trend of the brain and mind, there will also be chronic deterioration of the somatic body. Thus, chronic physical illness is seen to be invariable in attendance with chronic degeneration of the mind, whenever the central cause is neurological from bioductory trauma. With normal decline of the mind in old age is seen normal decline of the body, because both trends are established by the aging brain. Disconnecting the mind from the brain is a useful psychological mechanism in times of acute mental stress. Problems of a strictly intellectual nature are deprived of emotional impact if they are denied access to cerebellar tissues. The more brain tissues put into an intellectual struggle, the more emotions are unnecessarily stirred, skeletal muscles acutely tensed, and visceral tissues provoked to acute jittery disturbances. In Pleneurethics, mind and body are not the same but are separated from one another by the brain. The brain, an omnicompetent biological tissue, interrelates both with mind and with body. The brain is a demarcation terminal, a “biological buffer,” a sensitive device for transliterating conditions of body into sensations meaningful to mind, or activities of mind into commands for somatic activity. There is a fine distinction between mind and mentality in Pleneurethical teaching. Neuralosis: Neuralosis is a chronic disorder caused by bioductosis in the central neural system, especially the brain. Neuralosis produces mentosis and somatosis. The disorder is mechanical from external trauma to the bioductory system and later aggravated by additional internal biological upset due to the accompanying mentosis and somatosis. The amount and the precise location of the brain tissues affected determine the type of chronic illness. Nightmare: Interpretation by the mind of turbulent cerebellar activity during sleep produced by chronic neurological trauma and tension resulting from physical injury to the bioductory system. Nymphomania: Compulsive sexual drive. If this condition is congenital, it is beyond the scope of Pleneurethics to cure. However, if this condition is chronic and is a result of an accident with a peculiar pattern of brain system conditions, it is definitely amenable to bioductory systems ministrations. Pain: Brain system activity interpreted by the mind as hurtful and unwanted. It can be acute or chronic, and of regenerative or degenerative significance. Although pain is often rejected and despised, it is nonetheless a result of natural processes. Pain, degenerative: Mental interpretation of harmful brain activity associated with the chronic illness process. Pain, regenerative: Mental interpretations of hurtful brain activity associated with recovery from the chronic illness process. It traces the history of the original chronic ailment but in reverse order. Paralysis: Loss of interaction between mind and any area of the body due to problems in associated regions of the brain, peripheral nerves, or spinal cord. Pentafacet: Diagram of any engine created by PLEND or from the mind of man together with its features: input, structure, function, content, and output. When the pentafacet is properly constructed the star of Pleneurethics emerges automatically. (See Plate III, page 41.) Phantasm: The belief held by mystics in India and some physicians that disease is but an illusion of the mind, the cure of which can be achieved solely through mental control, psychotherapy, or counseling. Philosophy: Principles based on rational factors. Open and free debate of their fundamental merit and correctness is encouraged. It provides the basis for science. PLEND: The deity of Pleneurethics - the First Cause of the cosmos and of all things contained in the cosmos. It rules by the laws of physics; hence, it is not personal, arbitrary, or influenced by simple supplication. No people are “chosen” to receive special favor by PLEND. Pleneurethical analysis: (See “Analysis, Pleneurethical.”) Pleneurethical character: (See “Character, Pleneurethical.”) Pleneurethical correction: (See “Correction, Pleneurethical.”) Pleneurethicist: A Pleneurethicist is a licensed professional concerned with the study and control of factors which diminish (depleneurize) or normalize (repleneurize) the capability of the brain to do ethical work. The Pleneurethicist, then, is an expert in neural tissues, the bioductory system, the enlightened mind, and all other aspects of the external and internal environment of the human being as they affect an individual’s neural energy resources. The Pleneurethicist differs markedly from the medical neurologist who is narrowly committed to the drug/germ theory of disease and from all other schools of healing, both regular and irregular. Pleneurethics: Pleneurethics teaches proper use and ethical economy of neural energy. It advocates a way of life, and includes a system of therapeutics and morality. It is the study of humankind and its civilization and environment from the standpoint of the structure of an individual’s neural system, more especially the brain - its capabilities, limitations, and requirements. Pleneurethics endeavors to improve the quality of civilization by constructive use of neural resources. Pleneurethics prefers to accentuate the study of people as individuals as opposed to the study of humankind in mass. For the one tends to be warm, understanding, sympathetic; the other barren, authoritarian, unnaturally detached from living reality and the needs of individuals. The science of Pleneurethics is to be found in the field of Pleneurology. Pleneurethics, centers of: The first center revolves around the First Cause of the cosmos. (See “Absolute First Cause.”) The second center is occupied with the human brain system activity. (See “Brain system.”) The characteristics of the first center must be taken on faith as in all religions since proof is not available. The second center provides the basis for the science of Pleneurethics. Pleneurethics outlined: Reorganizes knowledge by demonstrating its concurrent interrelationships with The Absolute or First Cause and the human brain/mind. (See “Consilient.”) Pleneurethics, Quadrants: Pertains to the four Pleneurethical environments (quadrants) impinging upon the brain system, to-wit: the physical body, the mind, the chemistry of blood, and the external world together with its global civilization. This whole theory of the total person was originated by Pleneurethics and subsequently picked up by a new group who called themselves Holists. The term “holism” was originated at the turn of the century by General Jan Christian Smuts who coined the word in his book and used it against the Darwinian theory of evolution. Pleneurity: A condition of complete neurological normalcy of the brain system (see also “depleneurize and repleneurize”). Pleneurize: A Pleneurethical term meaning to achieve the full brain capacity which is normally available to any given individual. Depleneurization, then, is the process by which various and sundry stresses accumulate to diminish brain performance. The depleneurization process may at first affect the structure and function of the brain lightly, but later its structure and content will be heavily and visibly impaired. Prayer: An earnest supplication for relief from a problem or for solution of a problem. Reduces brain loading caused by mental torment and anxiety at least temporarily. Improves the basis for health and reduces the intensity of chronic illness by the amount that the psychologically induced brain overload is reduced by the prayer. Prayerful resignation: Transference of a problem to an entity considered to be a superior being or authority. Reduces biomentally generated brain loading in the same manner that any chemical or mental placebo accomplished its results. Prayerful resignation may be temporarily helpful in chronic illness. It is not considered to be curative of the basic cause of the chronic ailment. Process, chronic illness: Continuing deterioration of mental and physical resources due to chronic brain problems. There will be characteristic exacerbations and remissions in addition to shifting of symptom patterns throughout the history and maturation of the ailment. (See also “Chronic Illness Process.”) Quackery: Prescription of measures that do not effectively communicate with, reduce, or reverse the basic cause of the ailment under treatment, thereby failing to remedy or cure the disease and its symptoms. Quadaxiality: Relationships of the brain with its four distinct earthly environments, viz., mental, chemical, physical, and cultural. If all temporal relationships are normal and proper, the brain is able to interrelate in harmony and vigor with the universal life force ubiquitously available in the cosmos. Recovery, indicator: Mental, physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms of the brain recovering from the chronic illness process. Transient mental and physical responses to repleneurizing the brain. Rejection, cerebellar: Withdrawal of mind from an area of brain tissue regarded as painful. This mechanism delays healing and should be avoided if possible in most instances. Repleneurize: Restoration of brain integrity and capability by reversing the course of the contributing neuralosis. Relaxation: The ability to relax after normal degrees of tension, stress and pressure during day-to-day living activity is essential to good health. This theory was first enunciated in Pleneurethics: A New Concept of Healing, written and printed in 1964. Relaxation inability: Inability to relax is a chronic pathological condition and is the chief cause of chronic illness. This doctrine was first asserted in 1964 in the first volume of Pleneurethics. Religion: That which is taken on faith. May not be contested or disputed on pain of excommunication or other wrathful punishment by the church espousing it. Responsibility: People are directly responsible for their own intellectual development, ethical posture, and physical condition; they are indirectly responsible for that of those about them. Each person is, in final analysis, responsible for his own condition in life. Sacred mental structures: Sacred mental structures are not recognized in Pleneurethics. All structures are open to review, critical analysis, and to their revision when desirable. Selectivity, muscular: Ability of the conscious mind to communicate with any and all muscular areas of the human body. Opposite of paralysis and discoordination. Soma: The body, especially the parts separate from the brain and its neural system. Somatosis: Chronic illness in body tissues from neuralosis, variable according to the pattern of stresses in the brain. Stress: Stress accumulates in the brain, leading to its structural distortion (either micro, macro, or both) and causes mental and physical disease concurrently. Stress, tension and pressure are inherent in all operating structures. In Pleneurethical theory and practice the brain is the central (axial) structure. Alternating periods of acute stress and relaxation in the brain are essential to the good health of the brain. The relationships between chronic stress, tension and pressure, and disease were first discussed in Volume I of the Pleneurethics theory which was printed in 1964. The stress theory was subsequently endorsed by authority figures in the world. Stress, acute: Acute stress, tension, and pressure are generated in the brain by conditions which respond to the will or wish of the individual. Thus, the person may forget a low grade, change the course of study, have a meeting of the mind with a fractious mate, get a divorce, or solve the vexing problem in some other manner. As one sage said, “Thinking makes it so.” Stress, chronic: Chronic stress, tension, or pressure cannot be abrogated by a simple wish or desire. It is caused by an unrelenting assault on the brain system by say an accidentally installed structural problem in the bioductory system. Chronic stress is pernicious because it forestalls needed relaxation, and inability to relax is at the root of many common diseases and exotic maladies. This theory has always been at the center of Pleneurethics philosophy. It was first enunciated in A New Concept of Healing which was written and printed in 1964. Structural Pleneurethics: Structural Pleneurethics is a phrase developed in Pleneurethics to reference this new way of healing. It is the cure of chronic illness by the restoration of normal structure of brain, body, and mentality. Diagnosis consists of detection of anatomical structural disorders, especially in the bioductory system from say an accidental trauma. Structure: Structure is concerned with design and arrangement to produce shape, form, or configuration. Structures are developed from constructions following intelligent plans or from fortuitous circumstances according to the free play of natural forces. Structures are predicated upon meaningful interrelationships between organic parts or stress-bearing members. These structures require bonding of constituent elements to preserve basic shape and functional capability. Structures generate stress by virtue of their discrete parts which are held in purposeful restraint either by grand design or by random collections of free forces. Structures remain intact as long as the collection of organs and the content are successfully controlled. Structures dissipate when restraint weakens and the organic components collapse. Structures also weaken as content is corrupted. Gross structural configuration depends upon architectural design, but the structural members themselves must in turn be fashioned from content. Content must be drawn from that which is externally available and utilized internally to form the implicit essence of the structure. Structural configuration forecasts function and content requirements. Content availability controls structural limits and functional capability. Structures fail if deteriorating content is not rejuvenated or replaced with new content. Very often, new content cannot be introduced into the structure to replace deteriorated content because of structural distortion which evoked the problem to begin with. Proper structure is a prime prerequisite to content acquisition, utilization, and retention. Proper structure relationship is fundamental to effective and efficient function. Stressful distortion of structure adversely affects functional capability. Disease results. Student of Pleneurethics: Any person may become a student of Pleneurethics simply by stating that he is a serious student of Pleneurethics. Students of Pleneurethics may not practice operative Pleneurethics or structural Pleneurethics without proper training which is lengthy and arduous. Suri’s Tract: Nerve cell section in the brain and associated tracts influencing the operation of the vascular system servicing the brain. System of Cerebellar Coaxialities: Diagram depicting the brain with its immediately adjacent environments, namely chemistry of blood, physics of bioductory structure, mentality of mind, and social structures of civilization. (See Plate II, page 45.) Technique, Pleneurethical: Restoration and maintenance of brain competence and capacity using any effective method. Operations are aimed at restructuring the environments of the brain so that its structure, function, and content are normalized sympathetically. Tension: Loading that bends, buckles, alters, or modifies the external or internal structure, more especially the brain nerve cell singly or in the aggregate. Tension, chronic: Chronic bioductory distortion produces chronic brain stress and tension throughout the body along with various types of somatosis and mentosis peculiar to the particular pattern of distortion prevailing. Patients often become accustomed to this chronic tension. Even though the tension is pathological, patients are apt to complain of the normal feeling of relaxation which replaces it when the recovery process first commences. The loss of pathological tension through Pleneurethical correction is at first interpreted by the patient as tiredness rather than what it actually is - the prelude to normal relaxation. However, as relaxed as the patient may feel, abundant energy is instantly available should the patient wish to call it into expression. Energy is not being nervously frittered away constantly, as in the case of chronic tension, but is being accumulated and conserved instead during the recovery process. Tests: Each person is tested from the very beginning, from the first stages of life to the last. These tests are not announced as such in advance. No grade is given. The outcomes of the tests are basic and the course of life is inexorably modified as a result. The tests cannot be avoided or evaded. An action or non-action is equally classified as a legitimate response. Beware of life’s tests for they come often; although at the time not revealed as tests, they carry a lasting, virtually irreversible impact on character development. Indeed, people do design their own future. Who or what creates these tests is moot and privy only to the Supreme. Theism, Pleneurethical: A theology observing a central and eternal creative force responsible for the origin of the laws from which the universe and all in it is elaborated. It, the Pleneurethical deity, has no gender. It sees no enemies or friends. It is constant, evenhanded, and fair to all under all circumstances. It is not jealous, and countenances worship of other gods before, after, or along-side it if any person derives comfort from such practice. Both sexes are of equal seniority and significance in Pleneurethical theology. Thinking, Pleneurethical: The Pleneurethical process of opening the unstructured mind to unbiased thought. The unselfish search for eternal truth based on universal ethics and eternal science. The dedication of one’s power to the creation of universal principles. Time: A biological phenomenon resulting from conscious interaction between a mind and a functioning brain. During coma or periods of unconsciousness, the sense of the passage of time is repealed because mind is not conscious of brain activity or transpiration of external events.
Ultrallect (ultraconsciousness):
That portion of the mind above the level of ordinary day-to-day thinking.
The immediate inspirational source of one’s ethical and moral nature. Universal Mind: Access to the universal mind is allowed or denied according to the shape of the brain. The species (dogs, cats, or humans) have their own spectrum of access. Females have slightly different levels and segments of access than males simply because of the variation of brain configuration between the two sexes. The configuration of brain structure, both micro and macro, does indeed affect brain function. Universal mind is not synonymous with the deity of Pleneurethics. Rather, it is a device fabricated by the deity of Pleneurethics (PLEND) to foster survival of the species. The universal mind is to be found in all quadrants of the cosmos. Universal structures: Bodies and chemistries of the cosmos created by PLEND. Way of Life, Pleneurethical: A system based upon the optimum utilization and maintenance of brain resources for the individual species, and all life in general.
