Brain and Mind:
"God gave humans a faculty
Beyond that of their and other creatures’
Magnificent physical brains–
And that unique faculty
Is the metaphysically operative mind. . . .
"Mind alone can and does
discover heretofore unknown
Integral pattern concepts
And generalized principles,
Apparently holding true
Throughout whole fields of experience.
And once discovered by mind
The concepts of the generalized principles
become additional special-case experiences,
And are stored in the brain bank
And are retrievable thereafter by the brain.
But brains and their externalized
Detachedly operating descendents–
The electronic computers–
Can only search out and program
The already experienced concepts,
And mind alone can recognize and capture
