SELF-MOTIVATION SCIENCE NEWS!
Last time, we found out that your nonconscious brain can ‘see’ things that
you are not currently thinking about, or looking for/at in your conscious
level of thought.
That is, when we are thinking of one thing, (maybe listening to a song, or changing stations on the car radio), your nonconscious neurons (brain), can ‘see’ many other things, at the same time. If any of these other things are important to you, your RAS (Reticular Activating System) (Mario :-) will send this message to your top floor (conscious thought level)!!
This will be done automatically! This will occur, no matter what we are thinking about at the time on our conscious level and no matter whether what we are thinking about is extremely important or not! Mario has no manners! He will interrupt you immediately, if what your nonconscious brain has been told that what it has seen is important to you.
For example, when you are driving a car, did you know that you are operating that car about 95% of the time with your nonconscious neurons! Yes! That’s right! You don’t have to be thinking about keeping the car between the white lines all the time to do so! It happens at your nonconscious level, most of the trip! Your nonconscious brain neurons can see!
You don’t have to be “thinking” about hitting the brakes when a ball bounces out in front of you! It is automatic! Your brain has stored memories that indicate to Mario (your RAS) that safety while driving, and a ball in the street in front of you, is important and requires action!!
Why are we covering this here? Why is this so important
for us in teaching the science of permanent self-motivation? Well, it is
vitally important for you to reach transcendent success levels, to KNOW
that this brain mechanism is available for you to control and use in
striving to reach your highest goals and dreams!
Whatever is important to you; whatever you ‘tell’ your “Mario” and
nonconscious brain neurons is of high importance to you; WILL BE SENT TO
YOUR TOP FLOOR, EVERY TIME ANYTHING RELATED TO THAT APPEARS WITHIN THE
FIELD OF VISION, HEARING, OR TOUCH OF YOUR NEURONS! This will occur, NO
MATTER WHAT ELSE YOU ARE CONSCIOUSLY THINKING OF AT THE TIME!
Mario works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to work you towards your dreams!
How do you get things onto your Important List (IL) so that your RAS will
always send you signals whenever anything related to those things appear?
You do so by our “Innerstates”, as indicated in previous newsletters. What you think and speak about most, become your dominant thoughts, and your dominant thoughts get put on your Important List! Therefore your dominant thoughts must be positive pictures of what you want to achieve! This works for any and all subjects, both positive and negative!
So don’t think about and dwell on what you don’t want, because,
if you do this too much, Mario will put these negative pictures on your
Important List! [ scientifically, of course, there is no such thing as an
important list, but rather a reduction in the firing threshold of these
neuron patterns, so that they fire more easily!]
Once you have created your Important List (which of course can change from time to time), you need to consistently remind Mario of its contents, so that he does not remove an item without your permission! So regularly visit thoughts and sights that are related in a positive way to your goals and dreams!
For example, if one of your goals is a new fishing boat, get a picture of that boat and put it on your desk or on your refrigerator door, or both! This way you are constantly forming new neuron synaptic connections that will keep Mario busy sending you any impulse that comes in to your top floor (conscious level) related to obtaining your goal!
THIS CAN BE SUCCESSFUL FOR MANY YEARS! Science has now shown that when you create a new memory, your brain creates new neuron patterns (neurodes) for that memory, which are stored in the Hippocampus area of the brain, which can be called upon and called up, (if on your Important List) PERMENANTLY and in nearly PERFECT RECALL FORM!
At Yale University, in experiments with hypnosis, a bricklayer was hypnotized and asked if he could describe any particular brick that he had used some ten years before in a project which utilized individually distinctive historical bricks.
With incredible clarity he described for the
researchers, a certain, particular brick in a certain particular spot in a
wall, exactly noting its colors and unique features! When checked, his
description was found to be exactly correct! (note: also in some early
experiments in Canada, when a neurologist electrically stimulated certain
memory areas of the brain, his patients could recall accurately the
sights, sounds, and even smells of events that had occurred some 50 to 60
years previously as if they were reliving them instantaneously!) [See:
www.happychild.org.uk ]
BOTTOM LINE: Your brain has enormous power to help you bring forth what
you think about most!
But be careful what you think about! At Ohio State University, Dr. T. Chartrand has conducted experiments that show: even our nonconscious brain can form goals for us that we consciously don’t even know about! If we don’t reach these unknown goals, it can create in us, a bad mood for DAYS, and we don’t even know why! It also then can harm performance!
Dr. Chartrand had two groups of students read a list of words over and over for several days before attempting to solve a puzzle that was impossible to solve. One group read a list of words that were achievement and success oriented, such as “finish”, “overcome”, and “accomplishment”. The second group’s word list had no connection to success or achievement. A week after attempting the unsolvable puzzle, the first group reported anxiety, depression, and several other low mood indicators, but had no idea why! The second group had no such mood problems.
Dr Chartrand’s conclusion was that the first group’s nonconscious brain had taken these words as real and created a goal for the students to reach “success” with the puzzle. When they failed, they felt badly, but didn’t even know why!
YOU have enormous brain-power to reach the solvable puzzles of your life! Know what you want and think about it a lot!! Next time we will take a look at some of the Science for Success Techniques to help you KNOW what you are thinking about and how to channel this thinking into reaching for your goals and the highest levels of transcendent success!

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. THE BRAIN HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, Richard Restak, MD Fairly recent
(1991) treatment by a practicing neurologist regarding the power and
amazing functioning power of the human brain. It emphasizes that the brain
permanently stores memories; that our brain does not always function nor
is it organized the way that judges and juries or even we sometimes want!
The most important factor from our perspective, is that the author admits
(remember he is a neurologist) to being AMAZED at the number of things
that are determined for us by our brain, rather than our "mind" or
"psyche"! I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR MONTHS! He also clarifies and accepts
our seminar-taught belief that the 'mind' (brain) functions on up to 6
levels at once, and only our conscious level do we control at any one
time! The most important readings in the book are the chapter "Running on
10 Percent" and "When Words Trigger an Emotional Response" These both are
a must read, even if you are just scanning the book at Barnes and Noble!!
We form many more neuron connections, if the experience is emotional, and
we use less than 10 %(more likely less than 1/10th of one percent!!!) of
our brain's capacity! RATING: 8.5
2. THE POSITIVE POWER OF NEGATIVE THINKING, Julie K. Norem, PhD
I want you to read this book! Really! DON'T BUY IT! But read it! Take it
out from the Library! The author is a PhD, which means anyone can get one!
She attempts to use "Defensive Pessimism" to harness anxiety and teach
people to perform at their peak levels. Unfortunately, she does not in any
way, take into account the science discoveries on the brains functioning
powers and how we scientifically work and physiologically function!! To
follow her ideas would lead to a biological synaptic meltdown, frought
with potholes and failures. Read, but do not practice! Hopefully you have
read enough science-based motivational materials recommended by us to this
point that you can see through this crap! She gets an A for effort, but
her shot missed the SCIENTIFIC mark! RATING: 1.5 (read it to know what not
to do, if you dare!)
3. THE EINSTEIN FACTOR, Win (could he have a
better first name) Wenger, PhD and Richard Poe
This book, published in 1996, is a culmination of 25 years of the authors
research on brain-based accelerative learning. SO YOU KNOW I LOVE IT!
Particularly good , is the books summary on how the brain works. (the
first several chapters.) Also excellent is the author's treatment of what
we call "Innerstates". That is what we say to ourselves. This is covered
in Chapter 8 of the book: "Model Thinking" Also FANTASTIC, if you want to,
as we say in our seminar brochure, "Be years ahead of your competition!",
are the contents of Chapter Nine: "Total Recall" and Chapter 14: "Use the
Force". THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ! It can help guide you towards usage of
much more than the average person's 'brain-power'! RATING: 9+
4. KEYS TO SUCCESS, Napoleon Hill
This is the companion book to the CLASSIC book by Hill, "Think and Grow
Rich". Although this and Hill's other books were written long before any
of the latest discoveries about the brain were known, ALL of his books are
worth reading! This one is no exception! Hill uses earlier decades'
phrases to essentially say the same thing that we now know TO HAVE a
scientific basis! For example, "Your mind attracts anything that it dwells
upon!" Also contained in this book is one major thesis that is the
scientific basis for ALL transcendent success!!! Grab the book, or e-mail
me, and I will tell you what it is! (we cover it at length in our
seminars!!) RATING: 7 HISTORICAL RATING: 10

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.
In
Each Newsletter we will highlight one phrase or segment of our focus or mission
in our newsletter."POSSIBILITIES!-
IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT YOU CAN, YOU PROBABLY WON'T"
Last time we changed the name of our newsletter to "Possibilities" This
month we have added to that title, the above phrase that we think is of
utmost important to you our readers and to all of us! Our Mission is to
teach the science of Permanent self-motivation, so that YOU can reach the
HIGHEST LEVELS OF SUCCESS. But unless you KNOW that you can DO IT!.... You
probably won't...........
We have lived in the South now for 15 years
after retiring as an attorney from Ohio. During the last 15 years, imagine
that, we have become NASCAR fans! We of course KNEW almost nothing about
it until we saw it! A few weeks ago, we ordered tickets to a
race in Daytona. But you know what? WE FOUND OUT (KNOWLEDGE) that for just a little more, we can get a pass to go into
the pits before the race! What a thrill for the kids and the kid in all of
us! We didn't KNOW that! Now we do! And now WE WILL! And we would have
MISSED that successful experience if we lacked the knowledge or did not
KNOW that we could! Possibilities! Once you know that you can, you will!
