 
Mind
over Matter points the way towards universal prosperity, self-sufficient
households, abundant new living space, ideal physical health, and
well-balanced, more powerful minds. Humanity can reach these goals by
thinking small, assembling life size structures from simple electrical and
mechanical parts as small as human cells. Ordinary clothes will soon become
bioclothes, structures of biological complexity created through the art of
biodesign.
Bioclothes will be adjustable, shape changing fabrics that protect,
support, and strengthen our bodies, and even modify our outward appearance.
Bioclothes will make telepresence a reality, providing instant travel by “teleforms”,
empty, mobile sets of bioclothes. Miniature teleforms will open the
micro-world to us, expanding our effective living space a thousand fold.
Robotic forms of bioclothes will perform routine tasks swiftly and
tirelessly, providing the labor for small scale, family size production,
freeing us bit by bit from the need for a job.
Biodesign within the human body will use modified forms of our own nerve
and immune cells as “parts” to create a cell care network that examines and
repairs our tissues, cell by cell. By judicious stimulation of cell growth
in selected parts of the body and brain, plus much physical and mental
exercise, each of us can work towards our personal vision of an ideal self.
Cell care networks in the brain will lead to a profound understanding of
the relationship between the human mind and the brain that supports it.
Humanity will begin to explore a mental universe of unknown reach by
extending our present neural structures in new directions. Our journey will
continue towards a future barely seen, then beyond to the presently
inconceivable, to a time when mental growth will predominate, when we will
indeed become “mind over matter”.
