Does a Child have a Mind at Birth?

A child at birth has no mind; the mind is created when the child is named and when specific conscious energies, coordinated and given expression by the symbols in the name, stimulate the brain cells to respond accordingly—and thus a mental pattern develops. This pattern is recognized as the personality and reflects the qualities of intelligence expressed by the name.

Children identify themselves with their names. Thus we are our names, and our names are who we are. One cannot brush the point aside with, "A name is not important." Answer this: Who are you? How can you identify yourself as a mental power without using your name? If you had no name, who would you be? Isn't your name important to you? Intelligence, as a universal power or invisible energy, is expressed consciously only through language. Our names give us our individual intelligent expression.

The body is controlled by the mind and, when the mind expresses discordant characteristics, the body reflects them as illness. Medical science admits mental attitude strongly affects the health of the body; for instance, hypertension can cause ulcers, headaches, etc. The questions are: What causes the hypertension in the first place? Why does it affect different people in different ways? A study of the Kabalarian Philosophy will reveal the answers.
