The Power of Thought?

How Far Can We Go With The Power of Thought?

Do you have to understand the science of electricity, electrons and protons, in order to turn on the lights in your room, your TV or computer? Click the button, throw the switch, or wave your hand, right?

If the public had to pass a test on how the internal combustion engine turns gas into driving, our highways would be huge parking lots, true?

What Do You Make of These Scientific Statements

1. “Matter does not exist – it is all vibrational frequencies.”

2. “All physical matter is a result of frequency. It is ‘sound’ that turns energy and matter into
form.”

3. “If you amplify the frequency, the structure of matter changes by how we think and feel.”

4. “The substance of the universe is ‘consciousness’, so behavior is everything.”

5. “In the Beginning was the Word (sound).” Every organ in our body resonates in a specific frequency.”

6. “Stress (distress) affects the vibrational frequency of our body, including our heartbeat.”

After reading 1-6 twice, I would rather drink a Diet Pepsi. It is over my head, but that doesn’t mean these scientific statements are not truth. What is the practical value of understanding the Power of Thought?

Scientists Prove You Can Steer Your Car With the Power of Thought

Maybe it will help the disabled drive to work, or the rest of us to use our cell phones when driving or hold a conversation with our passenger without paying attention to traffic. The CEO at IBM could not see the benefits in manufacturing personal computers because he thought the market was non-existent. Let’s wait to discover the benefits of steering your car with your mind, using good old thinking.

Freie Universitat, at Berlin 2.21.11

Using off-the-shelf sensors, the folks at AutoNOMOS laboratories can use our brainwaves (EEG) for four (4) control commands: left-right-accelerate-brake, to successful drive a car with their thoughts.
I have trouble driving a car the old-fashioned way, so I’m interested.

This may be the next big-thing. Remember when no one owned a personal computer? There is more.
It is controlled by an interface between our bioelectric wave patterns and this computer-controlled vehicle. The computer was programmed to interpret human brainwaves for “left-right-accelerate-brake.” That covers “Please don’t run down that dog in the street, or those two pedestrians.”

The computer scientists connected the car’s steering, accelerator and brakes to the sixteen sensors monitoring our Electroencephalogram (EEG). So what? The driver could influence the car movements using only their thoughts. Did you know our electro-magnetic brain produces Beta-Alpha-Theta-Delta brainwave patterns, each operating at different cycles per second? Google: Dr. Hans Berger, and EEG.

So What

According to Professor Raul Rojas, “the drivers wearing the EEG sensors had no problem controlling their cars. Even when the car was on auto-pilot (second test), the drivers successfully determined the direction to take when it was stopped at the intersections.” Next, may be the “hybrid” autonomous motor vehicle, people working in conjunction with your vehicle.

Since Quantum Physics was introduced in 1900 by Max Planck, and Einstein took it the next level, we
know that Mind and Physical Matter are connected. When we (humans) observe reality, we
change reality. You can have Particles or Waves, but not both at the same time. How do we change
reality? Answer: The Power of our thoughts (consciousness).

Hard to believe even though it has been scientific fact for over a century. Our existence and thoughts
(the power of thought) control matter. So What? Wait and see how we control matter in the future.

Brainwave Vibrational Technique

Would you take five-minutes out of your day to defeat stress, anxiety and worry? How it works is not
relevant, just that doing these baby-easy exercises (at your desk) must be experienced to be believed.
You can view these movements on YouTube, or check out the video at

What is Required

The objective is to move your head around your brainstem and enhance the blood supply and oxygen
to your PreFrontal Cortex, our executive brain. More brain power, better thinking and creativity,
right?

Close your eyes, and silently repeat the mantra OHM, with each deep (diaphragmatic) breath.

1. Move your head side-to-side, mentally say and hear OHM, and take a deep breath. Make the “no” movements - eight-times.

2. Move your head up-and-down, while mentally saying and hearing OHM, and take a deep breath. Make the ‘yes’ movement – eight-times.

3. Tilt your head side-to-side, while mentally repeating your mantra OHM, and take a deep breath. Tilt back-and-forth eight-times.

4. Make eight circling movements with your head. Simultaneously repeat OHM, and take a deep breath.

5. Patting the crown of your left-head, while moving your head side-to-side. Repeat your Mantra and deep breathe eight-times.

6. Move your head up-and-down, while simultaneously tapping your collarbone and move your hands down to your hips. Repeat OHM and deep breathe eight-times.

7. Cross your arms over your chest, and move your head side-to-side eight-times. No OHM,
But deep breathe.

8. Move your head up-and-down, right-hand on back of your head and push forward gently.
Eight-times. Deep Breathe.

9. Move your head side-to-side, while simultaneously tapping both sides of your collar bone.
Eight-times and deep breathe. Now see the video, and try your own mind-experiment.

Did you know that your three-pound coconut requires 25% of the oxygen in-take for your entire body? The greater supply of oxygen to your brain, the better your critical thinking and planning.

The Buzzing of the Bees

The Secret strategy of Buzzing of The Bees

We trained a NYC attorney in Tripling (3x) his Speed Reading and Doubling his long-term memory. That was not what he emailed us about. One of the side-issues in the 12 hours of sessions includes a strategy called The Buzzing of The Bees. This is a simple strategy that most students and executives totally ignore. It was created by a French Psychologist called Emile` Coue` (pronounced Quay) in 1922.

So What

Please pay attention and see if you can mentally visualize this powerful procedure.

But what is it for?

Buzzing of The Bees activates accelerated healing and according to some advocates, produces almost miraculous results. Wait: disclaimer – we are not physicians and this is not scientific stuff. Most normal folks go to a medical doctor or hospital when their body fails them.

We recommend exactly that, but maybe there is a place for knowledge about Coue’s secret strategy.

What Happened

Danny the lawyer was skiing in the evening with his group at Vail. Suddenly he was buried in a six-foot pit – his right leg mangled, in searing pain, and only semi-conscious. He was not afraid because he knew the area was crowded with his friends, and sooner-or-later his crew would come searching for him. It was not to be that easy.

He tried to extricate himself, but the throbbing pain in his right leg argued back. Danny’s three-pound coconut joined in the ski-party with a massive migraine headache. He knew he was in trouble when he could not think of anyone to sue for damages for this negligence action. “Someone must pay for my pain and suffering,” he thought.

He never wore his watch when skiing, so it felt like a year had passed since his fall. He could hear no surrounding noise, and not a human came searching for the buried lawyer. Danny could only hear his pounding heart, as his fears invented new dangers for his present predicament.

Oh yeah, to add to his misery he was feeling frostbite in his both hands and feet. “I think I am going to cash-in my chips,” entered his mind multiple times.

Magic

He said in the email, “Out of no place, an idea crossed my mind. I actually heard Dr. Coue’s mantra,
‘Every day, in every way, I am feeling better and better.” It was like a song that just kept repeating itself endlessly. The weird part was that I actually smiled and felt better as I got into the swing of paying attention to this Affirmation – for 60-minutes.

It was some kind of self-fulfilling prophesy – I was feeling better and better. It was weird and dangerous because I was down a hole with a probable broken leg, and as alone as a stone.”

In Speed Reading we explain the power of “Every-day-in every-way, I am feeling better and better.”
The secret was not paying attention to the meaning of the words, just let the mantra form an umbrella over your brain. It must seep into your Non-Conscious mind. How? Hum the words under your breath, and expect a positive change. You mind-body connection will calm down your agitated brain, and send you some ideas to help yourself. Or you could sue us for malpractice – if you live.

Buzzing of The Bees

This is a two-step strategy. One, you repeat very fast, in an almost Mickey Mouse voice, (while touching the injured area), “It is Going, Going, Gone.” This is separated in three- sections. The first - two are repeated – “It is going-going-gone (rapidly for about 40 seconds). The final and third section ends with, “And, It-is-so!”

What is Optic Chiasma

You use physical reversal to involve your right or left brain. If you are healing your right-leg, use your left-hand to trigger your right-hemisphere. The right brain controls your left-side, and vice-versa. You very quickly reach your tipping-point – your Critical-Mass. If you do Buzzing-of-the-Bees twice, sixty-second each, a total of two-minutes – strange things occur. You must emotionalize what you want to occur, right? Do not repeat it like an accountant running numbers. Easy when you’re dying.

One more thing: you must create a mental image (mental movie/picture) of the healing and repair you desire. Use 1, but 1-4 is better.

See: 1. Shrinking and Shriveling of an enlarged area, uniting a broken bone or damaged tissue. Example: visualize an enlarged prostate gland et al shrinking and shriveling.
See: 2. Dissolving a bleeding or pimply growth, or eliminating a painful area. Example: facial growth.
See: 3. Pac-man Like: Chewing it up, and spitting it out. Example: killing all Cancerous-Tumorous-Toxic cells.
See: 4. Hammering the nuclei and cell bodies. Example: see: Cancerous-Tumorous-Toxic cells being smashed to death by your mallet. (visualize your 3-pound mallet totally destroying all the negative growth cells).

Back to Danny The Lawyer in The Snow-Bank

“Well, I said to myself, I have nothing to lose, so I began doing the Buzzing of the Bees to my right-leg, tapping with my left-hand. I visualized my foot healed, and did not stop to think how stupid and unscientific it really was. I had nothing but time, so I did it for maybe 15-30 minutes. Later I went back to Coue’s mantra – Every Day in Every Way, I am Feeling Better and Better, for another 15-30 minutes. I say, If you got the time – I got Coue’s affirmation.

“I am not going to try and describe what happened next because the men in the white coats institutionalize you for such ideas. Let’s just say I felt better and saw an improvement in my condition.
Oh yeah, I had never tried these crazy strategies since learning them in Speed Reading classes. Desperate times require desperate measures, right?

The next thing I knew I was sweating like a pig and moving around the pit in spite of the pain. Get this:
I started crawling upward, one inch at a time. If you are expecting a miracle and the ski parole coming to save my ass, forget about it.

You remember the Bingo-Song you teach to reduce stress – “There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name.” Each chorus you clap or shout to replace a letter in the name B-I-N-G-O. It helped distract my mind from pain, fear and anxiety when I tired of “Every-Day” and “Buzzing of the Bees.”

I am coming to the point. I began to feel better and made slow progress as I attempted to creep out of the snow-trap. I dragged by broken body inch by inch, but move I did. It took maybe two-three-hours.

More “Every-Day-in-every-way”, sing-song, more “Buzzing of the Bees” about my right leg and migraine headache. I went back to the “Bingo” song too, and you know what? It all worked to calm my racing heart and broken body. May that’s it.

I don’t know how I did it, but I ended up out of the snow-trap. My partners would have me certified for reciting this stuff in writing. I do not remember how or when, but I started crawling down the slope. Some ski-cop found me. I was bent over the ski ramp. The Ski Patrol guy said they had been on a search for my fundament for over four-hours.

That’s it. It really happened like that, and you have my permission to use my words. No normal person would believe a word of it anyway. Thank you SpeedLearning.org - I will always believe Coue’s mental strategies saved my injured fundament. Best of Luck, Danny Esq.”

Endwords:

This is the gist of it. Did it really work because of Emile Coue’s strategies – you decide. As for me, if
I were in a hopeless situation, and I wanted to trigger my mind-body-connection… I suggest no one rely on any of the aforementioned ideas, but then I also suggest not falling into a ski-trap.

By the way we have about 25 free, no strings attached speed reading reports. If you want one, find us and request one.

Did You know You Are An Expert in at Least Three-Skills?

Do You Know You Are an Expert in at Least Three-Skills?

Wait – how do you define “expert”, and what exactly is required to be considered an expert in a field?

I hate glittering generalities and require specific information to learn something new.
There are three (3) ways to qualify to be an expert in most professions and areas of talent.

The Ten Thousand Hour Rule

The creator of this rule is K. Anders Erisson, professor at Florida State University. He first saw it played out in Berlin, Germany at the German Academy of Music. He concluded it was nurture more than nature, and not natural genius or innate talent, but hard work. Regardless of talent, it took deliberate practice (daily) to master any skill. Competence, proficiency and knowledge require practice.

Ten Thousand Hours is the equivalent of three-hours daily for ten (10) years. More hours daily reduces the number of years, right? Take your pick – ten-years or ten-thousand hours is the minimum to acquire expertise in a field of knowledge or skill.

Dr. David Shanks

Professor Shanks picked up on this theory while at University College, London from Erisson in 1990.
He saw the merit in disposing of the argument you have to be born a star. He was more comfortable with the practical application of effort and diligence to attain expertise. He liked the idea that it is not
Innate (inborn) talent that ultimately decides who is an expert.

Stephen J. Dubner & Steven Levitt

In 2006, these two published “Freakonomics –the hidden side of everything” It is now a standard that is an annually best-seller. Professor Dubner is an internationally recognized economist, teaching at University of Chicago since 1997. Levitt is a super-star journalist in NYC and a major contributor to the on-going website on Freakonomics. They gave lasting fame to K. Anders Erisson by popularizing his Ten-Thousand Hour Rule.

So What

There are three-ways to gain a reputation as an expert – putting in 10,000 hours, ten-years, and one more. If the expert has absorbed 30,000 chunks of knowledge in his field, he wins the title. What is chunking?

Chunking is a psychological term – meaning organizing items (ideas) into manageable units. Example:
Which is easier to remember – 5165551212 or 516-555-1212? That’s chunking. This is an example of a long-term memory strategy. What are you really doing? Answer: recoding information into short-term memory. Get this: you have only 43 seconds to take short-term and turning it into long-term memory.

How?

Three-ways: repetition – association or artificial use of a digital recording device to remember the new information. If you waste time, your new short-term memory disappears and you lose it. What’s her
name again? For Smart-Alecs: check out an article called The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two, by George A. Miller, 1956. Explains short-term human memory. Remember – you have about 43 seconds to save it to the Hippocampus or your Amygdala chews it up.

You Said We Have Expertise in Three-Skills

Glad you reminded me. One is Eating – at least ten-years or ten-thousand hours. Second is Sleeping, we are all experts in that talent. Third is reading. Most of us have piled up the ten-years or ten-thousand hours because we started at age five or six and read daily.

There are Three Ways to Win Comprehension in Reading

One: Phonics – the sounding of each letter in a word. It is so-o slow, and is used 62% of the time by college graduates.
Two: Holistic Word Recognition – that means we comprehend words by remember their shape. Repetition imprints the shape in our long-term memory. We use it 16% of the time college graduates read text material.
Three: Whole Language – we comprehend words and gain meaning by seeing the CONTEXT of the word as it is used in a sentence. This strategy is used 22% of the time by college graduates.

We use all three of the aforementioned simultaneously, not just pick and choose one.

How fast do College Graduates Read?

The average lawyer, doctor and college graduate reads easy material at approximately 210 words per minute, with a comprehension of only sixty (60%) percent. That is about 100 words per minute in reality. What about tough, text material? Cut it in half. Face it, we are s-l-o-w, slow readers, which explains Information-Overload, and the low U.S. student rates in Science and Math.

When you read that slowly, with Porous-Comprehension, you get easily frustrated, and want to quit.
The high school and college drop-out rate because of lousy reading skills is a minimum of 35-40%. Sad.
There is a solution – it is called Speed Reading, a series of learning strategies for kids and adults.

Zoning-Out

More than 50% of students and executives zone-out after reading more than five-minutes. Some of us can go up to 20-minutes before falling mental asleep while reading. Your eyes take in the words, but your prefrontal-cortex is not paying attention to meaning and comprehension.

For cool folks: Goggle: Broca’s Area and Wernicke’s Area for semantics - the meaning of what you are reading. Reading not just perusing sentences down a page, you must be able to get the ideas that the writer is submitting in the book, article or report. Attention is everything and add to that recalling the gist of new knowledge. Less than that is Zoning-out.

Endwords

The good news is that you can become an expert in a specialized area of knowledge without being a genius to start with. Find an area of knowledge or even a hobby that turns you on, and put in the time.
See ya,

What New Scientific Research Adds to Your Health And Longevity

How New Scientific Research Adds to Your Health And Longevity
If you are like me about wild medical claims, you are a skeptic and contrarian and believe
almost no authority or expert without proof. Sure there are breakthroughs, but the drug companies are the last one to believe. But then again there are exceptions to even the best rules.

But what about stuff that sounds like good old common sense? Al Einstein said, “Common sense is just conventional wisdom with the prejudices we learned up to age 18.” So who do you believe?

The Journal of Applied Psychology, March 1, 2011

This article by lead author, Professor Ed Diener, University of Illinois, reviews one-hundred and sixty (160) separate scientific studies about the effect of happiness on our health and longevity. Wait, are the scientists implying just being generally delighted with your life is a great strategy?

It appears that positive, happy folks absolutely have less diseases and live longer than
pessimistic people. Again, they straight-out have a longer lifespan.

Example: one study followed 5,000 students at the University of Illinois for more than forty-years.
They were annually tested for their attitudes, moods and states of mind. The students were classified as Positive, Negative or Moderate minded.

Get this: those who tested as stressed-out, depressed, and pessimistic about their lives, tended to get more diseases, and die younger than their peers. Makes sense, but it is more because it has evidence to back up these claims.

Tested What

People evaluate their lives based on personal relationships and their career. If you are dissatisfied with your life-partner, cannot handle your finances, and hate going to work every morning, it is very easy to be depressed and pessimistic. Nothing happens in a vacuum, and your unhappiness
(stress and distress) has major consequences for your life and health.

Subjective Well-Being

The scientists concluded with this cliché sounding comment: “Feeling positive about your life, not
stressed-out, not depressed, contributes to both longevity and better health among healthy populations.”

In a long-term study of 678 Nuns from the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Dr. David Snowdon concluded: “those who wrote positive autobiographies in their 20s, tended to outlive those who wrote more negative life stories (accounts) of their present and future lives.”
More: those who used their brains daily to read, learn, teach, and play mental games, lived the longest and most satisfactory lives. Life-style accounts for health, longevity, and avoidance of Alzheimer’s, and other diseases of the mind and body.

If you suffer daily bouts of anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities, and pessimism, you can expect to have a higher rate of disease and a shorter lifespan.

Animal Studies

Stress is not just a human experience. When you place too many animals in the same space (cages), poor health and even death follows. Stressed animals are more susceptible to heart disease, have weaker immune systems, and tend to die earlier than those with more space to roam.

Stress

The term stress was coined by Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye, in 1936 at McGill University in
Montreal. He was the first scientist to see stress as biological. He described stress as affecting cognition (thinking and learning), emotions, and our physical and behavioral patterns. He said stress (distress) was involved in poor judgment, excessive worry, moodiness, and produces aches and pains.

Cortisol

Stress produces a hormone called cortisol. It is produced by the adrenal gland, increases blood sugar suppresses the immune system, and decreases bone formation. Professor Selye discovered that there
Is a positive form of stress he called EUSTRESS. It produces a low level of excitement that permits us to be creative and do our best work. It is DISTRESS that is the negative force in our lives.

A positive mood overcomes stress and reduces the production of cortisol.

Endwords

The researchers evaluated the 160 studies on health and longevity and commented, there is clear and compelling evidence, happy folks (less stress than unhappy people) tend to live longer and experience
better health.

So What

It is your job to be aware of excessive stress in your life and change your behaviors. Who cares more
whether you live a healthy, long life than you? You may want to stop rationalizing about your personal relationships and career. If you make difficult choices to reduce and eliminate distress in your life, you change the odds in your favor to avoid diseases and increase longevity.

What is The Law of Expectation?

What is the Law of Expectation, And Who Cares?

Now you are an intelligent person, wise in the ways of the world. If you do some quick internet research on the Law of Expectation, what will you find? Answer: Google has to remove this drivel. These articles contain facts a first-grader would not believe.
Example: “Whatever you believe and expect to happen, with confidence, are most likely to occur.” Life is a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’, you get what you expect. So expect all positive stuff and you will receive it.” What else?
“Change your expectations, and you change what happens to you.” Huh? Up to now, there has been no science documentation to justify the Law of Expectation. All the articles say, “Believe it because I say so”, and no evidence is offered. I call that drivel. On top of that, all the writers on Expectation refer you to the Law of Attraction. I don’t believe that one either.

Hold It

Researchers from Britain and Germany wrote an important article on the Law of Expectation published in the Science Translational Journal on 2.17.11. They used brain imaging (fMRI) to show “expectations can cancel out the benefits of Pain Killing drugs.”

Who cares? Two drug makers: Abbot and GlaxoSmithKline. Why?

If patients can destroy the power of the drugs they take by their Expectations, the clinical trials must be changed to overcome this problem. Why? The U.S. Food And Drug Administration can reject their
application to offer the drug for sale in the U.S. Each drug must pass tests to prove it is more effective
than a mere sugar-pill. No scientific proof, no Approval.

Read-And-Remember

Fact: Patients who do NOT believe in the effectiveness of the drug proscribed by their physician,
can reduce or even cancel out the power (force) of the pill or injection. They may distrust the doctor who offers the solution to their pain, or the hospital treating them. Maybe they hate drugs in general, or the treating nurse in particular, and their brain (scans) show exactly how they are doing it.

But So What

Today, there is absolute valid scientific evidence to prove that our feelings and past experience, can influence, persuade and convince our mind-body-connection to cause positive or negative results, just by the power of our brain to expect good or bad conclusions.

We will work harder and longer to get what we want, if we expect the results to be what we choose.
The Law of Expectation changes the odds in our favor to win because our brain motivates us to do whatever it takes to reach our goal.

If Expectation works with powerful pain-killing drugs – then if we are PRIMED to win in problem-solving, selling, or creating original software, the mind-body-connection is also a powerful tool for success in school and your career.

Drugs

Consider this: our brain can enhance (double) the effectiveness of drugs or make it appear the most powerful drugs with proven biological effect, fail to register any effect in our body. Our brain can override the reality of the analgesic effect, and show the drug is not working at all.

According to the lead author, Irene Tracy of Oxford University, “The brain imaging is telling us that patients really are switching on-and-off parts of their brains – through the mechanism of Expectation.”

When the patient has doubts about the doctor’s strategy and choice of treatment, for any reason at all, justified or not, their own brain rejects the pill, injection or bodily insertion as toxic.

Viewing the brain scans, the researchers discovered that the brain’s pain networks responded in different degrees based on the patient’s (volunteer) amount of EXPECTATION of a successful treatment.

What Is Important About this Scientific Break-Through?

“We should control for the effect of people’s Expectations on the results of any clinical trial.”
Drugs in any form may be unconsciously manipulated and rejected by patients (volunteers) through their feelings (emotions) and past experience with drugs, doctors or hospitals.
Valuable, powerful drugs may be rejected, while lousy, ineffective medicines may indicate they are the latest Silver-Bullet (Penicillin) breakthrough. How? The Power of Expectation.
Your Career
How do we apply the principle of Expectation to students at school, and advancing your career by winning promotions and raises?
Three areas of your brain are involved:
1. If you create mental imagery in your primary visual cortex of your expectation of promotions and raises, by making mental-movies, and repetitiously running them, they active your brain to motivate you strongly.
2. You emotionalize the desire and expectation of promotions and raises by excitation of your Limbic (emotions) system. The wilder and crazier you get about your positive expectations (repetition is
Mandatory), the greater the Expectation effect.

Jumping-up-and-down or throwing your arms in the air are nice. Applause works too. Emotionalize your expectation.



3. Affirmations are statements that can cue your mind to be on the
look-out for ways to succeed in obtaining promotions and raises.

Putting you affirmation in the form of a question is very effective to trigger your brain. “Why is my winning Promotions and Raises in my career, so easy and effective? Or, Why am I enjoying my thriving career with new promotions and raises?

Repeat either one of these affirmations prior to falling asleep – twenty-five (25) times. Do another 25x upon awakening while brushing your teeth, or while lying in bed.

During these times of the day, we can access and convince our Non-Conscious mind, Right-Hemisphere, and Emotions to create positive strategies to win promotions and raises. Do it persistently. Yes, really.
Endwords
We have about fifty copies of a great report on how-to-speed-read. It’s free, no strings attached, and we believe important to those who are interested in promotions and raises in their career. Why? It raises your career to a new height because you have a unique competitive advantage, reading and remembering three (3x) times faster than your peers.

Triple your reading speed - and get a career-explosion!

Speed Reading: Rods and cones

By H. Bernard Wechsler

December 15 2005

Your Brain Reads Holistically And Fills in The Blanks A core element of being a SpeedLearner is trusting in the unfolding, having confidence that your body and brain are fully capable of following their programming without your conscious assistance. Your eyes blink twenty-five times per minutes in order to wash and keep them moist and functioning. Your heartbeats seventy-times per minute to keep all the systems operational by pumping blood containing oxygen and glucose. Your lungs breathe nine to twelve times per minute to oxygenate your cells. Your vision acts like a camera and your brain reverses the input to create right-side-up - from the original ‘up-side-down’. Optic Chiasma is the reality that our left-hemisphere (brain), controls the right-side of our body, while the right-hemisphere runs the left-side of the body. This nervous system programming automatically reverses biological tissue by ‘crossing-over’ (decussation). Optic Chiasma ‘switch’ is located at the intersection of the ‘optic-nerve’. Are you aware your brain contains a 10-20,000 words dictionary in your native language that is filed in the pathways of long-term memory. Reading is a two-step process: the recognition of the words (sight-reading), and decoding the symbols for meaning. The comparison between what is read and its meaning, is created in milliseconds, and appears instantaneously to our conscious mind. The standard ‘grammar’ of our language is based on the ‘syntax’ (order), and ‘morphology’ (structure of words), hardwired in our original programming. It works on auto-pilot. We can read with meaning even though words are misspelled – omitted – or reversed because our programming compensates to gain ‘gist’, the essence of decoding symbols. Our brain fills in the blanks for usefulness. Let’s see you read the following ‘vowel-less’ and jumbled sentence relying on your brain’s ‘fill-in’ and reversal program. “Geuss yn cn ndrstnd th ssnc fo th txt fi yuo raed ti ni eno lkoo . Raedng si th uaotmtaci sbstitnoi fo th mssng lttrs fr sns nd mnng.” Translated – “Guess you can understand the sense of the text if you read it in one look. Reading is the automatic substitution for the missing letter for sense and meaning.” How This Cognitive Skill Creates SpeedLearning You have been taught to read left-to-right, but you can also read right-to-left and diagnonally. The benefit of dextrosinistral (right-to-left) reading, and information processing using a slanting and oblique (diagnonally), strategy, saves you up to 90 minutes daily. Trace-flow vs Blind Flow Using a pacer – to double your reading-speed – works because of the ‘motion-detectors’ in our eyes – causing our ‘eyes-to-follow-a-moving-object’. The strategy is to link (integrate) our eyes-brain and hand to give up reading one-word-at-a-time. Our eyes follow the rhythmic-flow of our pacer – not merely pointing to one-word and then the next. The rhythmic-strategies (movements), of our pacer creates a ‘Trace’ – like ‘smoke’, which is a roadmap to both our left and right-brains. In the beginning we have to consciously think of the strategy-steps of ‘chunking’, but with practice it becomes a neuroconnection – a habit. ‘Blind-flow’, occurs when our eyes move from the last-word of any sentence to the first-word of the succeeding sentence. Think about it – what do you read in the step and time after you finish the last-word in the sentence, until you eyes arrive at the beginning of the next-sentence? The answer is nothing! It is action-with-no-reaction – ‘amnesia’, and it wastes up to ninety-minutes daily because you go ‘blind’, and get no meaning from you reading. Trace-flow is good because it reduces and almost eliminates ‘regressions’, a time-waster, and double your reading speed because of ‘entrainment’, your eyes and brain ‘race’ to catch up with the rhythmic-movements of your pacer. Trace-flow improves concentration up to 20%, comprehension about 15%, and long-term memory – another 20%. Blind-flow is lousy because it wastes your precious time day-after-day, without offering any benefits. More Benefits of Trace-flow SpeedLearning is the ability to ‘chunk’ (divide sentences), and ‘crunch’ (ignore spaces between words) – run-them-together, yet obtain full meaning. Snailing is the ability to read linearly one-word-at-a-time, with comprehension. Yes, there is a place for ‘snailing’ – reading out-loud, learning sections of Shakespeare, memorizing a script or presentation. We will always use snailing for specific tasks, and speedlearning for text, testing and heavy-research. Reading Backwards Some experts say – “Reading ‘backwards’ is the secret of speed reading.” SpeedLearning has multiple ‘strategies’ – and reading sinestrodextral (left-to-right) dextrosinistral (right-to-left), and ‘diagonally’, slanting and oblique - are speedlearning strategies using our brain’s specializations. We create a ‘mosaic’ – the holistic map with contextual meaning – not merely one-word-at-a-time. A mosaic produces meaning because it uses ‘working-memory’ to link the ideas in the previous sentence and paragraph to this sentence. Context creates the big-picture – the ‘backstory’, and permits us to understand the ‘nuances’ (shades-of-meaning), the ideas-in-action. Our brain will fill-in all the blanks as you have proven – and reading ‘alternatively’, first left-to-right, and returning – right-to-left, saves time and produces a movie (mosaic), instead of concentrating on a single-picture – one-word-at-a-time. How do you learn to read right-to-left? Use your pacer and overline/underline each succeeding sentence and let your brain ‘reverse’ the order. The faster you read forward and ‘backwards’, the easier your brain works to trigger converting right-to-left, to left-to-right comprehension. An example is using the “Z for Zorro” – moving diagonally down the page using an oblique strategy. It becomes natural and a habit through practice. Remembering What We Read After completing the text – take five-seconds to create a mental-visualization to remind you of the ideas conveyed. Use your senses to link the Association with the mental-picture. This lays-down long-term memory. Repetition is the mother of learning - it is a scientific fact – so use it. Another fact is that memory consists of using your inner-eye to create a mental- link and association between what you finished reading and how you intend to remember it. All it takes is five-seconds to make-up a mnemonic that will snap the new idea into consciousness. “Thirty-days-hath-September..” works because we laid down long-term memory circuits, and so will any ‘imagery’ you make up to remind you of the new text you completed. Which rules – Eye-Pattern-Movement or Field-of-Vision? Faster reading is not achieved by learning ‘quicker’ eye-movement strategies, but by ‘perceptual-span’ improvement – an expansion of our visual-field. SpeedLearning strategies create ‘trace-flows’ to cue our eyes and brain for rhythmic-information-processing Remember, we can widen our acuity for sight-reading from a minimum of six characters (letters), to a maximum of thirty-five symbols. It is the difference between reading one-word-at-a-time, mentally hearing the words in our mind’s eye, and regressing twenty-times per page, and SpeedLearning triple your present reading speed with better comprehension. What Single Skill Rules SpeedLearning? The use of our ‘peripheral-vision’, operated by the Rods residing in our retina, added to the Cones situated to the Fovea-Centralis, permits a tripling – the ability to read and remember three-books, articles or reports in the time it takes others to read even one. Sure, ‘reading-backwards’ works and saves hours, but the key to the lock is increasing the width of characters our eyes ‘gulp’ in each saccade and fixation. Chunking is dividing each sentence into three-two, or even one-section. It is easy to triple-chunk – read three-words in each section, harder to comprehend six-words in in each-section (double-chunk), and requires still more practice to decode an entire sentence at-a-time (single-chunking). Most of us are greatly satisfied to triple our reading speed with inproved comprehension – and never learn double or dream of seeking the heights of ‘single-chunking’. You have the gift and talent to triple-double, and single-chunk. It requires ‘volition’ – a decision. Permission is Required Our conscious mind governs linear reading – a left-brain specialization organizing words in a logical, left-to-right information processing. We have been reinforcing this system daily since 3rd grade and it got you where you are. Would you be better off reading, learning and testing faster, and with more comprehension? SpeedLearning adds to left-brain verbalization, right-brain specializations of pattern-recognition, spatial skills, parallel-processing, intuition, emotional and mental-pictures for nuances (shades), and increased creativity. Reading symbols with comprehension in context requires the activation of Broca’s, Wernicke’s Areas, and the Angular gyrus. For shades of meaning, and emotional flavor – we add the right-brain skills, including our limbic-system decision-making - based on contextual meaning. We never omit linear, logical, organized left-brain conversion of meaning from symbols, but add subtle and enhancing skills of our non-verbal right-brain. Because we have reinforced left-brain reading for years and often decades, we must use ‘stressbusting’ techniques to relax and gain ‘permission’ to introduce the right-brain programming. Permission is given by practice using the Pacer and its ‘Trace-Flow’ to create a new neuropathway which later becomes a habit. Remember – habits have a life of their own and will not vacate their dominance without active practice. We do not evict ‘snaling’, just making space for the new habits of SpeedLearning. Do We Read in Different Ways? Foveal (shapest focus of Cones), works like a ‘magnifier’ within the limited perception-span of six-letters in the foveal centralis. Peripheral-Vision (Rods of the retina), add five-times as much information processing, and acts as a Data Compressor. We use and require both systems for total meaning and enhanced creativity. Ninety-nine percent of college-graduates rely exclusively on ‘foveal’ vision for reading, while only one-percent ever add the Rod photoreceptors of peripheral-vision. You can graduate college through a super-effort and staying up all night, but it is a great waster of your valuable time. Foveal reading is based on one-word-at-a-time, while peripheral-vision is capable of reading up to six-words at-a-time. SpeedLearning concentrates on tripling your reading speed with better comprehension and long-term memory, scanning three- words simultaneously. The secret is permitting our untrained peripheral-vision (six muscles in each eye, of which two are dormant), to exercise its talent by scanning sections of a sentence (chunking), whole-sentences, and even multiple sentences, (above and below). Reading in context above-and-below the sentence viewed with foveal-vision – is called Supra-Infra Vision. It comes from accelerating our focusing strategies from one-word-at-a-time to wider perceptual spans of information processing. SpeedLearning is based on practice in integrating the cones and rods of our retina for accelerated reading. Depend on the brain to fill-in the gaps of meaning. Our conscious mind believes that we are ‘skipping’ words, phrases and sentences when we use peripheral-vision, while the information is processed non-consciously by our right (non-verbal), brain. The reality is that we ‘skip’ nothing, not even punctuation-marks. Practice does make perfect and create a new supplemental reading habit. Behavior changes begin with one-small, tiny modification.

Stream-of-Consciousnes is your Monkey-Mind!

Please Start Here!

By H. Bernard Wechsler

December 31 2005

For answers to specific questions about attending classes at university or holding sessions at your corporate offices - please contact us at: 917-441-9019 or email - gs@speedlearning.org --------------------------------------- Really Smart-Stuff 1. Dr. Russ Hurlburt, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, produced the following original research on the contents of ‘stream-of-consciousness’. All the stuff that is going on in your mind 24 hours a day – all kinds of thoughts, ideas and dialogue flash through our mind. Some of it is brilliant, and unless we record it on-the-spot, is gone-forever, and some of it is garbage - to justify ourselves in an argument. The name and original work for ‘stream-of-consciousness’ was by Professor William James, at Harvard, 1890, and is still cited. Dr. Hurlburt reported in 2001, and had published in, ‘Trends in Cognitive Neuroscience’ the following: a) Subvocalization (dialogue) constitutes 32% of our stream-of-consciousness. b) Visualizations (single pictures or mental-movies), 25% c) Symbol-free intuition (snap ideas and creativity), 25% d) Emotional reactions (anger, anxiety, fear, frustration and pleasure), is 18%. So What? The average college graduate in he U.S. hears ‘the-still-small-voice’ reading the text to us as we study and learn – 100% of time. It wastes over 90 minutes daily of reading-time, and can be reduced by two-thirds for greater productivity. SpeedLearning graduates all-but eliminate the ‘dialogue’ of subvocalization by reading too fast for the Speed of Speech. We read at the Speed-of-Sight, and can complete and remember three-books, articles and reports in the time others can finish even one. One of our core-strategies is reduction of our ‘sub-vox’. 2. Why Our Own Voice is So Vital to Learning If you want to become a super-star in school, and take your personal-growth to the ‘genius’ level, you must summarized the gist of what you are learning on a daily basis into a Mini-Recorder. It is not the beauty of your own voice that does it, but the fact that it is in fact - your ‘own’ voice. Your own voice has a separate neuropathway in your brain for instant recognition because your brain ‘believes’ and takes orders from your voice – over and beyond anyone else’s voice. “What you say is the law and indisputable because you are the ‘boss-of-you’. When you want to add something new to permanent long-term memory, your voice makes it memorable and an order to your brain. Not your mother, father, significant-other has the power over your brain like your own-voice. Use it on a daily basis for whatever you want to learn by dictating and listening to your mini-recorder. It turns you into a brilliant-star, and raises your grades to Dean’s List if you do it regularly and long-term. The special neuropathway located in your brain for recognizing voices is the Superior-Temporal-Sulcus, good-old STS. “Sulcus” is < L for trench or furrow. Ranked #1 is your own voice, with the instruction to act on its instructions. Check out the “Wheaties” promotions for 150 words on why you ‘luv’ Wheaties, breakfast-of-champions. It works because when you write – you ‘hear’ the words in your ‘mind’s-ear’. The specific neuroconnection for recognizing ‘faces’ and relating them to identity is the Occipito-Temporal-Gyrus, also called the “Fusiform-Gyrus”. “Gyrus” is < L for ring. Yes, your own face is the most important identification to your brain, and all the other faces in your life are reconstructed at the OTG too. 3. How to Ace Lectures When you attend a lecture – always take to sets of notes, the first on the core ideas of the speaker, and the second – the stream-of-consciousness information- processing flashing past your mind. When you list on paper all the Dialogue, pictures, intuitions and emotions your right-brain is processing – the mere awareness of them ends their existence as a “distraction” from the speaker’s talk. Additionally, a dynamic idea or two can be captured before it disintegrates. Yes, summarize the gist of the lecture and the ‘stream-of-consciousness’ into your mini-recorder for subsequent feedback. 4. What Are the Key Strategies of SpeedLearning? First, is learning to ‘divide’ (chunk) the sentences while reading left-to-right, dextrosinisral (right-to-left), that’s right, reading in reverse, and while reading ‘obliquely’, “Z for Zorro”. Second, exercises to enlarge the “Percpetual-Span” of the muscles of your ‘peripheral-vision’. The average college graduate reads one-word-at-a-time because his visual ‘perceptual-span’ is only six-letters at a time in the ‘foveal-centralis’. SpeedLearner can read using much of the entire capacity of 6-35 letters simultaneously called ‘perceptual-span’ of the foveal-centralis, the area of the retina with the sharpest acuity of reading focus. We read three-words per fixation, unlike the snailer’s one-word, and we can read and comprehend up to six-words with each eye-stop on the sentence. If you read only sinistrodextro – left-to-right, you are wasting up to two-hours daily in what is called – “blind-flow”, while SpeedLearners use “trace-flow” to save up to three-hours of reading time – daily. Our brain is capable of reading both left-to-right, and right-to-left (with full comprehension), and ‘obliquely’, also known as ‘diagonally’. These two-strategies – change you from a struggling reading who processes information – like-a-snail, to SpeedLearning – reading like a ‘master’ scholar. Beginner’s Luck Yes, Virginia, there really is a logical reason why first-timers without experience and often with limited cognition, ace the situation and circumstances. The less rules we have in mind – and simply permit our right-brain to offer its input of intuition, pattern-recognition, imagination and creativity, the great access we have to new approaches that are original and often are very effective. We are not advocating ‘ignorance’, merely ‘getting-in-the-flow, in-the-zone, in order to create ‘peak-performances’. They occur only when we include our right-brain’s input into the equation instead of solely relying on our left-brain skills of order and logical skills. Try a ‘cold-reading’ and let your right-brain push-the-buttons based on feelings and emotions, spatial-skills, and on-the-spot decision-making. Brilliant writing, acting and even testing often results. Learn the core-points and then ‘fling-it-out’. One last bit of info for you to process – our conscious mind handles 16 bits of information per second. Sound like a lot, right? Our non-conscious mind processes “eleven-million” bits of information every second. This includes what our senses are reporting, the behavior of our motor-cortex, muscle-activity, and all our emotions. Remember, all of this is on ‘auto-pilot’, so our conscious-mind can devote itself to ‘cognition’ and maybe creativity. Integrate both conscious and non-conscious brains and we have the best of both worlds. Thanks for listening. copyright © 2004 www.speedlearning.org hbw@speedlearning.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Magic word - 'and'!

Words and Terms that Influence

1. Layered Command:

If you would like to influence others – in school – relationships and career,

Learn to use the #1 most powerful three-letter word – ‘a-n-d’.

“Please help us out AND do your ‘Breathe-Stretch-Shake and LET-IT-GO!’

The key element is the word ‘a-n-d’, which unites TWO suggestions –

‘please-help’ – with – ‘breathe-stretch’. The mind works best when it has a

SINGLE order (goal) – it can use our conscious critical faculties to decide to

accept or reject - do or not-do - agree-or-disagree with the order.

Reason, logic and analysis are left-brain attributes of Beta-consciousness.

It is harder to organize our consciousness when there are TWO goals. It is called ‘information-overload’, and it feels easier to comply. It is the reality of ‘simultaneous’ suggestions that confuses both our conscious and non-conscious mind.

Remember: ‘thought-patterns’ are part of our ‘right-brain’ skills’, and operate on a non-conscious level. The brain seeks out ‘pattern-recognition”,

and when it uncovers a familiar-pattern – it automatically reacts without conscious reflection to accept or refuse. Here – two linked suggestions are a ‘pattern’ and will be followed 98% of the time. The two-percent leaves room

for a ‘dangerous’ pattern which will be rejected even with the connector – ‘and’.

Why spend so much time to learn about the ‘layered-command’ – little, old –

A-N-D?

The answer is that if you apply this knowledge – you strongly get-your-way.

That’s called ‘influence’, and it gives you power over many situations.

Naturally, if you think it is too sneaky – don’t use it – but be aware when others use it to maneuver ‘your’ behavior.

Have you ever encountered these types of suggestions?

On TV: “Pick up the phone, and call us now!”

At work: “Call back at 12 noon, and have the answers.”

Relationships: “Move closer, and let’s get friendlier.”

To kids: “Shut the tv, and off to bed.”

Endwords

When the suggestions come from an ‘authority’ person like a policeman,

teacher, parent or boss, of course it has more power. Still, the use of

‘and’ - cuts down by 65% on objections.

Will everyone comply with your suggestions using the killer-connector – ‘and’ – use the scientific method and test it.

See ya,
