LESSON XII
MEMORY, REASON, JUDGMENT

Memory is a wonderful asset; Reason is a Gift of the Gods.

Memory is assimilative but not creative; it is reflection of another's thoughts. It is an echo of another's voice.

Memory is a photograph of events which have transpired.

The acquisition of knowledge by the human brain can be compared to the storage of honey by the bee; the bee does not store up honey when the hive is already full, nor does the brain produce knowledge when it is satiated.

Memory acquires knowledge from without, reason from within. Memory deals with the past. It perpetuates what is or has been. It says, "I am the beginning and the end; seek no further, all is false but me." Reason says, "Nothing is perfect, delve into the future."

Just as fresh water flows from springs, so fresh knowledge issues from a reasoning brain; a reasoning brain is thus a fountain of knowledge while memorizing brains are reservoirs into which that knowledge flows.

HOW SOUTHERN (BRUNET) PEOPLES CAME TO HAVE RETENTIVE MEMORIES AND NORTHERN (BLOND) RACES REASONING ABILITY

The people of Southern Europe were cultured before Northern nations became civilized, and owing t othe necessity of retaining in their minds the multitude of details which civilization brought in its train, their mental retentive powers became highly organized, so that the brunet coloring, which is prevalent in the South, came to refer to a retentive memory.

The Northern races of Europe, on the other hand, having had more to contend with in the subjugation of nature, in which their aggressive dispositions, energy, originality and reasoning faculties were constantly exercised, gave less attention to memorizing, and thus the blond complexion, which is usual in the North, came to be a sign of originality and reasoning power.

Some three billion women and men live on less than two dollars a day. Eight million children die each year as a result of poverty. But poverty is not inevitable, Mr Matsuura added. More
