Think about your last two books for now and put them on the back burner. just make notes when an idea pops up.
For your first book it will all depend on how much you know of the subject. perhaps:
" Your brain will never return to old ways it used to think, live,and your life and will never be of the same mundane, when you have discovered something of which is unknown"
Will that help?

Good luck with your writing.
