When human beings are very
young, their minds move on level
plane, on which they can shift with
ease from one subject to another. As
they grow older their minds begin to
travel in grooves, which enable them
to stay closer to certain subjects as
well as move more rapidly. At the
same time, these grooves are shall
low, so when the need arises to shift
from another it can be done with
facility. But as the man or woman
grows older, the grooves deepen into
channels. which can be left only
with great effort, if at all.
