SELF-MOTIVATION SCIENCE NEWS!
Last time we talked about stopping your negative thought patterns in their
tracks! We want to let those highways of negative neuron patterns get full
of potholes from non-use and overgrown with thick weeds so that your
‘thoughts’ can’t get down that road as easy as before! (Scientifically, by
doing this we are raising the firing threshold of those negative
patterns.)
This time we want to talk in more detail about replacing those negative neuron pattern country roads with positive neuron patterns of “Superhighways for Success”! (Science for Success Technique #3)
You learn new habits by techniques of repetition, association, and emotion. This can be greatly accelerated by a technique that most of you have heard of, called self-talk or affirmations. But before now, it is unlikely that you knew or understood why and how these work.
THEY DO WORK! If you force yourself for three to four weeks, 3-5 times a day, EVERY day, to concentrate on and “act-out” positive thoughts, you are creating each day a lower firing threshold for these positive highways, and before long, your positive thoughts become automatic, not requiring more than maintenance levels of effort to stay on the positive SuperSuccess highway!
If things were only that easy… We all know nothing good ever comes easy. You see, our self-talk needs to be in a very specific format to be effective. (Science for Success Technique #3(c). The self-talk must be in the present tense, it must be believable, and it must be couched in an image that I call a positive positive picture.
The research of Dr. Larry Cahill (see last newsletter) and others, has found that the brain, in its neuron patterns, sees things in images and pictures. If I were to ask you to close your eyes and think about what you did this morning immediately after you woke up, you would not imagine this in words on a page, but rather in pictures.
Why is this important to know? Because scientists have also found and proven that your nonconscious levels of thought (5 out of the six layers of thinking) are not bound by the “same rules as your conscious thoughts. In other words, your conscious thoughts are filtered through reality, deductive reasoning, logic, and moral values before you ‘see’ them.
Non-conscious thoughts have no such filters. (Which also helps explain why your nonconscious neuron patterns (thoughts) travel across synapses at a speed 80 to 800 times faster than conscious neuron patterns!)
As a result, your nonconscious brain CAN NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS REAL AND WHAT IS IMAGINED. It takes as TOTAL REALITY any pictures that you send it. Further, once you direct an image or visualization to your nonconscious levels of your brain, it will work 24 hours a day without sleep, to make that image a reality. How long does it take? Well the image becomes real in 3-4 weeks. The goal itself will become reality, no matter how long it takes after that!
Have scientists proven that the nonconscious brain cannot tell the difference between real and imagined? Yes! In a controlled research study, scientists placed groups of people with phobias, such as a fear of snakes, on vital sign monitoring equipment to measure their conscious and nonconscious (automatic) reactions to several slides that they saw on a computer screen.
These reactions would be stimulated by the release of hormones in what is called the “fight or flight reaction” to feared realities. When these people were shown for three seconds each, pictures of flowers, snow, mountains, moonlight, even snake pictures, there was no reaction and therefore no release of these hormones.
However,
when the test administrators flashed pictures of snakes on the screen at
an enormously fast speed, so fast the tested subjects did not even
consciously know that they saw the pictures (as in the old subliminal
advertising gimmicks), there was a sudden and dramatic release by their
brain of the fight or flight hormones induced by the subjects nonconscious
belief that it had seen a REAL snake! Had these pictures been slowed down,
so that each subject “saw” them with their conscious brain, their more
rational conscious neurons would have told them that this was only a
picture and not a real snake and therefore they did not have to react with
fear hormones and neurotransmitters!!!
What is the bottom line scientific conclusion from this! One, you must
select your self-talk very carefully, because your nonconscious brain takes
as real whatever you send it, and two, your affirmations must be a positive
positive. That is, the picture that you send it for 5/6th of your brain is
very real.
When we tell our children, “Don’t spill the milk!” what picture does 5/6th of their brain automatically see? That’s right, spilling the milk!
If I tell you, “Whatever you do, DO NOT think about
anything RED!” What do you automatically see? The color red!
Make your affirmations a positive positive! When you say, I am too fat; therefore I will not eat fatty foods anymore! You are telling 5/6th of your brain to eat fatty foods! What should you say every day for 3-4 weeks? “I AM THIN!” After 3-4 weeks your brain will turn this imagined reality into a truthful one and do everything it its power to reach this goal!
I learned this lesson the very hard way several years ago with my youngest son.
In high school, my son was (and still is) an excellent golfer, and played on an Orlando high school team that won two state championships. In his Sophomore year, just before the beginning of a very crucial match, on a golf course where the first hole was a difficult par five, with a lake in front of and along the right side of the fairway; dad in his less than scientific mind said to son, “Now whatever you do just don’t go in the water, that would be disastrous!”
How stupid was that! I just gave 5/6th of his brain a perfect picture goal of going in the lake!! Which do you think controlled his shot, the 1/6th of his brain that ‘heard’ don’t go in the lake or the 5/6th of his brain that saw a perfect picture goal of going in the lake? That’s right! He hit it into the lake…twice…. (Just like I told him to!) And he took an 11 on the hole and was out of the match!
In our Systems we teach you with our Science for Success techniques and
science knowledge, to avoid hitting into the lakes of life, and many more
business and personal skills ALL BASED ON SCIENCE FACTS, to stay
permanently self-motivated the scientifically correct way! Join us! This
is just the beginning! It’s Guaranteed!

BOOK REVIEWS!
Each Newsletter we will review a few of the books and/or research articles and
studies that we have read. All of these books will have been published in
just the last few years, since about 95% of what science now knows about
the brain has been discovered in just the last 4-5 years! We will rate
these books on a scale of 0-10 with ten meaning DON'T MISS IT! and 0
meaning DON'T TOUCH IT! All opinions will relate only to the book's quality
and functionality as it relates to the FOCUS and MISSION STATEMENT of
Science for Success Seminars (see our website)
1. Mind
Management, Dennis Deaton
Out of the 200 plus books and research studies I’ve read so far, this book
certainly belongs in our TOP TEN. First the fair stuff and then the great
stuff. Thoughts ARE REAL! Deaton was one of the first authors to state
categorically that thoughts are not ‘out there’ somewhere, but are real
matter; energy, concentrated bundles of neuron patterns, that can be seen,
studied, manipulated, and capable of harnessing every other form of
energy! Therefore, what does Deaton claim as the ultimate truth in life?
We alter our destiny by altering our thoughts! Our brain/mind is capable
of expansion and accomplishments far beyond that which most people
believe. Ironically, it is that disbelief that keeps most people from
realizing that growth and development.
The really, really good stuff! Chapter 17 defines and differentiates
between conscious and subconscious activities and clarifies the role of
each in achievement. The conscious mind provides the subconscious with
dominant thoughts, and the subconscious works 24/7 to create (realize)
those thoughts, and is never hampered by ‘reality’ and never fails to come
up with a successful plan to reach those dominant thought goals. WOW! We
can tie this all together for you at our Seminar. What is Deaton’s
ultimate SECRET OF SCIENCE?? It’s on page 169! If you don’t get the book,
e-mail me and I’ll send you the secret for free! You’ll get it at the
Seminar too!
Rating: 9.3
2. The Silva Mind Control Method, Jose Silva
An older book, but still with some merit. The concept of visualization is
introduced in this book: “Your words have power!” “An imagined event will
become real if you follow Silva’s methods and ‘ifs’” But it is better
explained scientifically, and therefore more believably in more current
books, such as Deaton’s. Rating: 4.8 (As a historical reference: 6.9)
3. Mind Over Mood, Dennis Greenberger.
I would only recommend this book as a bad example of some of the crap that
is out there. The author tells us that your moods cause your thoughts. But
in reality YOUR THOUGHTS can control your ‘moods’! He has it backwards!
And then he tells us that using positive thought is NOT an answer! We
should track and monitor our moods for crap sake! (This of course would do
nothing but empower your moody side!) This guy has a PhD too! Holy Cow….
Rating: 1.1
4. How to Get Along with Almost Anyone, H. Norman
Wright
This writing is not directly on our topics, but it does have a few shining
moments. Particularly useful is the section in which the author explains
why relationships fail. His anecdotal explanation of “people
contamination” is excellent. But the best of the book is on pages 34-35,
where he explains “Why it’s Great to Make Mistakes!”
Rating: 5.9

S4SS FOCUS AND MISSION
We would like to invite you to take a look at our website.
In particular, take a look at the "Focus" and "Mission Statement" pages.
Each month we will highlight one phrase or segment of our focus or mission
in our newsletter.
"TRUST YOUR SUCCESS TO SCIENCE!"
This is one of our most powerful slogans and one of the most important!
When you use our Systems and learn the scientific basis for how your
brain works and the tremendous capacity that it has, this will greatly
boost your confidence in being able to attack new and heretofore seemingly
impossible tasks. Before, many dreams would have gone even unattempted, let alone reached successfully! You will learn to trust
yourself and your ability to learn new things and reach higher levels of
achievement.
Finally, with our Systems you will learn that ALL of
our memories are stored PERFECTLY in our nonconscious brain/mind.
Therefore when you make a decision that seems to be intuitively generated,
this is probably the BEST decision, because it comes from the darkness of
your nonconscious perfect thoughts, and it is not tainted by "reality".
You will learn to "Trust the Darkness" and Trust your Success to Science!
