Sheila continued: "Those sparkly lights are the neurons in your pineal gland, which is so called because it is shaped like a pine cone. It is also sometimes called the third eye, or the ajna. When pairs of neurons are triggered simultaneously, a pathway called a dendrite grows between them, like a road connects frequently-visited cities. That's how the brain maps related concepts, creating a chain of association. You can strengthen the associations through rehearsal or continuous practice, which is how learning and training works. In fact once you have learned happiness (based on the inbuilt neurotransmitter hormones such as serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine) you can cope more easily with the illusion that surrounds us all that we sometimes call "reality". Plato, the greek philosopher, researched this." [TO BE CONTINUED]
