Learn to Count Your Blessings – Mental Building Blocks

There is one certainty that each of us should look to when building Brain Power and using Mind Over Matter to solve our problems. We should look to those less fortunate. People just like you and me. People that find themselves in circumstances they never conceived would happen to them. People that never thought they would need to steel themselves against adversity to the level that some are forced to endure.

The immensity of the human spirit is immeasurable in the worst of times. Look to these people as a point of reference for overcoming adversity – a guiding light. Their lessons can be your guide.

In the wake of the Victoria Fires, it gave me the opportunity to look deep – to appreciate who and what I have around me. No matter what I may be dealing with at any given time, can compare to what others may be going through.

People that have taken the opportunity in their lives to develop their mental strength and abilities are also taking steps to prepare themselves against the hard times. Everyone has them, but when you have developed device to see yourself through to the other side of the hurdles, it makes the preparation very worthwhile.

Recently, someone suggested that I do some writing about the fires, the death, anguish, and heroism emerging like the rising phoenix when the fires hit Victoria Australia. I attempted to look at this as a topic of my writing, but I write from my heart and the truth. Since I had not been directly affected by the fires, I decided not to write about others experiences. I will leave that to the media. What I have decided to write about is my observations, and how I have used this opportunity to count my blessings.

Setting the Stage

Since my readers are International, I need to tell you a little about what was – before the fires. We had had a cool, lower than normal temperature, summer up to this point. Suddenly, we were having the highest ever recorded temperatures and southbound winds. This set up an extreme fire danger condition. For many years the residents of Victoria bushland had been worried of the buildup of native scrub compiling and creating an explosive fire danger.

Politics Deemed Just as Guilty

Politics had prevented the clearing of this debris in the winter months, as it had been in previously. About 10-15 years ago, through political pressure from ‘green’ groups, back-burning and clearing had all about ceased to reduce fuel buildup. Clearing of the deadwood had been reduced to only 2-3% of all the forest areas that used to be available to gather wood from. Cattle and sheep that had grazed and automatically cleared many of these areas were banned from these areas. Owners were not even allowed to clear the fuel from their own property for fear of heavy fines, even imprisonment.

The entire area had become a time bomb – primed and ready to explode. The resulting conflagration led to losses of such magnitude never before seen in Australia. When fire travels 3 KM per minute, huge fireballs prevail before a wall of fire 120 feet or more into the sky, it is overwhelmingly apparent that nothing much is going to stand against it. It sounds like a freight train coming your way, much like the sound of a tornado. The only word that does not even come close to describing the effect – HORRIFIC!

Lessons Learned Elsewhere as Example

I used to live in America. In the area that I am from there is a technique that is taught in fire prone areas called “Stewardship”. Stewardship is a way of dealing with the natural fire dangers in a way that benefits everyone. The conservationists decided long ago that it was better to clear the debris and scrub than to keep putting so many people at risk, even reducing the amount of trees on a property to reduce the overall fire danger. It’s not a perfect solution. But it is a solution that both sides could live with.

People love nature and want to live amongst it. But, sometimes those people in their obsession to live amongst the trees, overlook the obvious hazards. Most of the people that were killed in the fires never gave it a second thought that they may be victims of their own passion.

A Change in Attitude

The fires came through, and things have changed considerably – literally overnight. People that have never been exposed to the raw carnage that followed are having to deal with situations that usually only trained professionals must deal with. Innocence is shattered and can never be returned. The shock of what has happened hasn’t even had time to set in for most of them.

The human spirit is resilient. Most of these people have been traumatized and need counseling. Even the Firefighters that have had many years of experience have never had this type of exposure. As they are driving by certain homes, they know of how people perished there. The whole landscape is some areas looks, feel, and smells like a war zone.

My heart goes out to these people. I have offered my assistance to those that are interested.

I Count My Blessings

I am very blessed that I have not been around the fires. I am located quite a long way from where the loss of life is high. But, we still get the reports on the radio and TV. There were fires around my area, but the loss of life was not high. Only about 80-100 homes destroyed. A recent report had over 1800 homes had gone up in flames, and over 7000 people displaced, hundreds of thousands of acres burned, and the expected dead to be over 300.

Seeing the pictures of the re-united families, and some that will never be re-united, gives me the opportunity to be thankful for the people I hold dear. They are beside me and with me. I don’t have the added stress of looking after property, livestock or pets that have been scalded or dying. I never even lost power through this. I count myself as being so blessed. The potential remains that the fires could erupt again in my area. But, I am grateful that I have the opportunity to observe heartbreak from a distance.

Even though I can feel for them, there is no way that I can feel the same as what they feel. It is their experience. It is an experience I would not want to walk in. They will carry the scars with them forever. It has changed their physical landscape as well as their emotional landscape. They will be forever changed.

Time Heals Many Wounds

Time will heal many of the wounds, but people won’t forget. Many of them will never forgive the people responsible – from government bureaucracy and self-serving politicians that encouraged the tinder to build up into a time-bomb, to the arsonists that lit the deadliest of the fires. The arsonists have committed mass murder to the level of terrorism.

Finally, there is solid discussion and inevitable action taking place in the government to provide substantial firebreaks, back-burning and clearing of debris and fuel statewide and beyond. It appears that the people are choosing to ignore political groups that have brought them to this precipice of decision.

The Aussie Spirit Survives

No matter how bad you think your problems are, there is always someone worse off than you. Following the shell-shock of the results of the fires, within 1 week of the fires erupting, huge efforts were mounted to pull off charity functions of every sort imaginable. At date, the Red Cross has already exceeded $100 Million in donations.

Help is coming in from the International community as well. Even the Queen of England is Donating personally to the injured. It is just amazing to see where all the outpourings are coming from! Condolences have even come from enemy states.

Reaction of the People and Government

The government has not put a cap on the expenditures to get these people back on their feet. Holden/GM has donated new cars for a year for those affected. The outpourings from the populace is absolutely incredible. It may actually be the trigger that gives our economy the needed stimulus to get things revved up again.

People, no matter how they are hurting from their own situations are digging deep to help in every way imaginable. It expresses the strength Australia possesses in its people. It is a credit to all. Even though I wasn’t directly affected, through observation I have been profoundly affected!

To the Aussie Spirit – Good On Ya’!

Television – The Mental Message, Hidden Agendas Exposed

Television – The Mental Message, Hidden Agendas Exposed

The advantage of having a strong mind is your ability to use your brain power to outsmart things that may hurt you in some way. But these things are not obvious; in fact, we choose to invite them in. Your power of mind gives you choice. First you must realize the danger exists.

The impact that television makes on your life

I already know what most, if not all, of you are going to say, “Don’t take away my TV!”. Actually, I am NOT going to do that at all. Also, what I am NOT going to do is load you up with a bunch of superfluous statistics that you really don’t care about anyhow.

Here is what I am going to do: I am going to talk to you. I am going to ask you questions. I will make you think. I will give you information that may challenge your judgment on what you watch on TV. It may even make you wonder why some of the shows are even on TV at all.

Please keep in mind that I am going to base this primarily on the biggest TV Show Factory, the USA, because many of these shows are syndicated, translated, and distributed globally. I am going to start with a real shocker. So if you don’t want to read this part or expose yourself to it, then just skip over it. If this is not relevant to you, PLEASE IGNORE IT!

I also realize than many of you are from various areas of the world that do not even allow these types of TV programs to be shown on TV. There are many different cultures and beliefs the world over about this issue. So, after reading this, you may want to consider what is right or wrong when it comes to discretionary viewing of violence on TV.

Law and Dis-order

The desensitization to horrors unimaginable by most are shown in prime time TV. What I am speaking of are shows that show every conceivable way to commit and get away with murder (from this point on I will refer to this word a “M”, so I an not giving it more energy than it already has) C S I type cop shows and such sure they make it interesting, with all the technical jargon and lab work, all surrounded by corpses. They even get to catch the killer. But, all the while you are being pummeled by the reoccurring gestures thoughts and talk of Ms. And as if that wasn’t enough, they talk about other Ms on other episodes, and so on, and so on…

A study was done in America on habits and possessions of Serial Killers. It was found that they usually drove an excessive amount of miles and they often had hundreds of volumes of cop and C S I videos in their home – their study material. The most recent ones out of Hollywood are gorier than ever before.

Losing Our Innocence and our Integrity

My first question for you to think about is why? Why, from channel to channel, are they full of M programs? It is like a train wreck – everyone stops and stares. People get hooked in. Some of these shows have police doing illegal acts, but nothing is said about that – as long as they catch the bad guy. Even if they don’t, still nothing is said, or it’s shrugged off.

Garbage In – Garbage Out!

There is an old saying when it comes to information. Garbage In – Garbage Out. What are M programs doing to the general populace? What are they doing to your children? What are they doing to you?

Can programs make a person think that M is all very normal, that M happens every day? If a person is only a bit unstable in the way they think, may they start thinking that M might be an alternative solution to their problems, because of the suggestion that it is ‘normal’ in the world?

If you are the type of person that does like to watch M programs, next time THINK about this: Every time you or anyone else turns their set onto a M program, YOU are telling the TV station that YOU want more M programs on TV. From this process of the TV stations answering the response of viewers, the general public has demanded more and more M programs to be aired – the uglier, the better. Now there are versions that glorify the “M”er and make them into hero figures!

Law of Attraction

There is this thing called the “Law of Attraction”. How we initiate the Law of Attraction, on a very simplistic level, is to visualize what you want to attract into your life. Some LOA exercises suggest that you build yourself a video of what you want to have happen. So, what do you think people are going to attract if they are continually watching M programs on TV?

A momentary departure. How does the Law of Attraction play out if all we watch are ‘doom and gloom’ disaster movies that create destruction on a global scale. What I am talking about is Global Annihilation here, eradication of all life, and so on. When you couple that with the environmentalists saying that we are destroying the Earth anyhow, what results can we achieve with the Law of Attraction?

Let me answer that a different way. Thanks goes out to Hollywood for creating so many different types of Disaster and Tragedy that the global consciousness cannot focus long enough on one specific type of disaster to complete the creation part of the cycle. On the other hand, does it do us any good wondering when the next asteroid the size of Manhattan is going to fall on you – “Chicken Little”.  Now back to the main topic of contention – M.

Television – The Psychological Paradise

I hope that I may be breaking through that shell of denial by now. I haven’t even got to the super-psychological bits yet. Digital TV makes the picture clearer, right? Yes. But It also makes it easier to embed images and subliminals into the picture. Some advertising techniques have even triggered viewers to have seizures.

When you take in consideration that your conscious mind only registers about 1/10,000 of the amount of information that your brain takes in, then look at all the “other, possibly abusive” material you could be viewing at any time while watching M programs. Right now you should be asking, “Why would they be adding even more subliminals to an already intense, thrilling M program?” They want you to get “locked in” and come back each week. Some shows have multiple shows on each week, just to get you to come back quicker – to keep you locked in.

There is also a very nasty little psychological twist to M programs. You may consciously say that visions of death, blood bones and gore are terrible. But to the subconscious, these visions create a primal reaction, a sensation that you are “macho”, and can defeat death. That is the real attraction. In a weird way, by watching M programs, it makes you feel good. Right now, you may go into denial and say, “Not me, it doesn’t do that to me!” IT DOES.

The Proof is in the Pudding!

You can prove it to yourself. The next time your ‘favorite’ 1-hour M program is scheduled to come on, switch to something else. Don’t switch to it at all while your favorite M program is on. Chances are that within 15 minutes of whatever other non-M program that you are watching, you will be in withdraw. You may not even know what the other show is, because you have been thinking about nothing but your favorite M program. Within 30 minutes you may have unwittingly gone back to your favorite M program. The nervousness and tension are instantly vanquished – like illicit drugs.

If you can turn away from your favorite M program – your “Fix”, without even giving it a second thought, then you have mental strength that is uncommon today. Pat yourself on the back. If you did find it the least bit difficult, then maybe you should assess yourself. I will leave that up to you. You know what is right for you.

The other issue that comes up with seeing visions or images of M and death is desensitization. The value that is put on life goes down. We, the human race, are all diminished by this, no matter where in the world we live.

A Business Experience…

I recently had an experience that was brought about by a connection to another type of business. Let’s call it Business “A” A man associated with business A comes over to discuss business. For some reason, I didn’t really feel very comfortable with him as I usually do with most other people. I quickly found out about his “Too Cool” hobby that he just couldn’t hold back telling me about. His hobby is volunteering to find Dead bodies with his local CSI. He has special devices, tools, cameras, etc. to fill this volunteer task.

He looked at me like I was insane when I asked him not to talk about his adventures anymore. “But EVERYONE likes to hear about it!” he exclaimed. “It’s Important!” (Of course someone needs to do the work. It’s important work. But is it work to love and relish in? He thought so.) I could not get away from him fast enough. I don’t want, need, or desire energy of that nature around me if I have a choice in it. Needless to say, we didn’t hit it off. And the male bonding thing was definitely out.

I find fossils and petrified wood where I live. Things that died some 400 Million years ago – like dinosaurs. That is the only interest in ‘dead’ things that I have. It intrigues me that animals have been alive on the planet for that long. I love to LIVE! Of course part of life is death and there are obligations that must be considered and upheld. I do not seek it out or revel in it.

The TV Setting that is used least – OFF

If M, and graphically illustrated programs showing every aspect of the most morbid M is okay to show on TV, Why must everyone that may be skipping across the channels of their TV, be constantly assaulted with these images, even if they choose not to watch them.

There are plenty of other things that are not illegal activities that could be shown on TV, and the ratings would probably be the same if not higher. If most people were like me, the TV would be in the OFF position for most of the time. I am not satisfied by what they say my choice is. I always have another choice that I often take – OFF. I have much better things to do, and I have much more respect for myself to allow myself to be infiltrated by “Garbage”.

THINK how ridiculous the systems that regulate these things have become. The Inmates are running the Asylum! The Clowns are running the Circus!

So What Can I Do About It?

If you are reading this article, you probably value your mind a bit more than the average person, you have no desire to enhance or create pseudo-insanity, and you don’t want a ridiculous outside influence to manipulate your life. To counter the problem you need to know the problem exists and what the trap is. Raise your awareness; take up exercising your brain and your willpower.

Of course, I have the perfect mind power product for you to do it with. (Tongue in cheek.) But before you come to us, I want you to go out there, spend allot of money and time chasing all the promises of all those other products. (NO, I don’t want you to go somewhere else, but many of you will.) Then after you spend oodles of your precious time and money, you can come to us, and we will teach you the all-in-one package. By going to all these other places, you will really appreciate us that much more when you do come to us. How do I know this? My clients tell me so!

Keep Looking Up!

Invention, Prediction, and The Power of the Mind Over Matter

Invention, Prediction, and The Power of the Mind Over Matter

Intuition, Insight, Knowledge, Invention, and Lateral Thinking

Today’s lesson is about Lateral Thinking, Invention, Mind Over Matter, and the Power of Thought. Insights and intuition come from the subconscious mind. These are just a couple of pieces that give you subconscious power over things in your life.

Intuition, Insights, and Predictions

I like to make predictions form time to time to see how accurate I am. Most people invent based on solving problems. Some people invent based upon need, and insight of how to solve the need. Some people take the high road altogether and allow the universe to tell them what to invent, whether it is needed or not, or if it solves any problem that currently exists. Some scientists write this off as statistical extrapolation and an over-active imagination. Maybe it is.

If you have lived any type of life at all, you will have had an experience like this: You are going along doing whatever it is you do. Some thing or event triggers something in you that says, “I could really use a Widget right now.” (A ‘widget’ is some ‘thing’ that is usually a concept or idea.) You suddenly come to the realization that you have never seen anything like your ‘widget’.

Is ‘Necessity’ Really the Mother of Invention?

At that point, you are given an opportunity to invent, market, and distribute your widget. But, for whatever reason, you decide not to invent your ‘widget’. Then, 6 months to a year later, you are going through the aisle of a store, and THERE is your ‘widget’. Someone else had the same insight as you did that the world was to have this ‘widget’. But, like so many other things that happen in life, it wasn’t you that took action on this. That is fine too. It is your life you are living – not someone else’s life.

Throwing Stones at Glass Houses…

At his point I could throw down the gauntlet, stand on a soapbox, and expound on the indefinable of the Universal Knowledge being re-discovered and instantaneously remembered by thousands of people across the Earth at the same time. You have all heard it before, but it still doesn’t give you permission to rip off someone else’s work that they have put their effort, time, and money into. It diminishes the entire human race when even one person takes that selfish approach.

Oh, the Irony…

(This next part is talking directly to those people that actually think it is alright to do things this way.) This attitude of taking someone’s good idea or product and making it your own, is very limited thinking. Instead of using the Law of Attraction to bring in your own idea or product, you would rather take the LAZY way. Even more important is you don’t realize what Karmic damage YOU are inflicting upon yourself. That leads me down the path to another soapbox I don’t wish to visit right now. So let’s not go there.

I am GIVING Away a Valuable Idea!

Staring down at my expensive frying pan, and thinking, why would this “Teflon Coated” pan cost so much more than most others? (as my fried eggs are stuck to the bottom of the oil laden pan, again) Sure the base metal is better and thicker. The handle is a little better. By and large, it pretty much does the same job for the same amount of time, and can be just as easily damaged as any other Teflon coated pan. It does have a lifetime guarantee!, that by the grace of God, and sending it back to the company, usually overseas, to review the damage at their discretion if they are going to send you a new one. Well, I think you are getting the picture…

There are currently cooking pans on the market that tout that they are stick-free AND Teflon Free as well. But, what I am talking about is something that I have not even heard that anyone has even thought of yet. Maybe they have! Maybe my invention is already sitting there waiting for me on the shelf to buy. That would be Wonderful! So, if any of you reading this story knows of such a Monster in cookware, please let me know.

As I alluded to before, this is a lesson about Lateral Thinking. Let’s start with the basics. Cookware sticks to food because it comes in contact with the food. (No kidding!) Heat and desiccation of the common surface causes adhesion (sticking). So what we want to create is a no-touch surface of cookware. Already, you must be thinking that I am out to lunch. Trust me, I am not.

There is an engineering principle using super-sonics and hyper-sonics to agitate, stir, or create a nonstick environment. Sonics are used in a jewelry cleaning machine to clean your jewelry. Sonics are also used in factory hoppers to prevent substances from sticking to their sides.

Nano-Engineering

So let’s see if we can create a condition on a surface that creates a touch-free environment. There are many types of way materials, metal, compounds, etc. can be applied or stuck permanently to a surface. Some of those can be shaped on a microscopic level by the application process. And some of those materials can be used to create hyper-sonics when exposed to a heat source of a range top.

We may have started with 10,000 different materials, 1000, after application, 100 after microscopic shaping, 10 after creating the hyper-sonics via applying heat as the energy source, and 1 or 2 after considering human consumability.

What this would create is a surface that once heated never actually comes in contact with the food. Therefore, it just doesn’t stick. Ultimately clean as well. Is it possible – Yes. What am I basing this premise upon – A lifetime of information gained and knowing how to apply it in various ways – knowledge.

I am NOT Kidding! I am Giving IT Away!

Do I know which material, or the application method? No, but I have some relatively sound ideas how it can be done with today’s technology. But,… I am GIVING the idea away to the person that will invent it. They will have or gain the needed information to create it. I am choosing not to spend money or time in that direction because my life is focused in other directions. Namely, by teaching people the means by which they can accumulate their lifetime of information, and know how to use it to create a great life for themselves.

How do I remember all of the different types of information and how to apply them? Mental Photography! Mental Photography gives me a tremendous amount of information quickly and intensely. Beyond just information, it gives me usable knowledge of how to apply the information. It strengthens the synapses and brain function so that I can retrieve information from all parts of my life, as I need to apply it.

This is true Lateral Thinking, because I can take pieces of one type of knowledge and glue them together with other types of knowledge, run an internalized statistical probability program which tells me how probable the outcome is. The never-stick fry pan has very high probability with the tools scientists have available, such as nano-technology and nano-engineering. Additionally, I would suspect the scientists should look to the titanium compounds first. The application is the fun part. I also estimate a vertical platelet application, probably electrically applied.

An Old Prediction to Reality!

About seven years ago, I told people that they were going to invent a way of storing several complete movies on a unit that would measure ~ 1 cubic centimeter. Today, I now own a flash drive 1.5×1.5×0.3 cm in size that has no less than 4 Gigabytes, and I know that at least 8 GB is available in the same size. The whole drive is the same size as the USB plug portion – which doubles its length. Amazing!

I have made predictions of the stock market, the price of gold, the interest rates of banks, seasonal changes, and many other valuable things. One of my accounting friends recently reminded me that I had “pegged” another one, with regards to the fall of interest rates, recession, etc.

The mysterious thing is where do I get my information from to base my complex algorithms upon? I don’t really have a source of this type of material out here where I live in Australia. You would think that I surround myself with heaps of financial data to consume my day – I don’t. So where do my predictions come from? From the either? On the air? That’s the wonderful thing about it. These are not just guesses, either. Some are very specific.

Stepping outside the lines…

I live between two worlds. The world I live in, the physical world, and this other world rather indefinable except for the qualities of ebb and flow, color, frequency, energy, nuance and innuendo – sort of an altruistic spider web stretching across the universe. My choice is to stay grounded so I can help others. Mental Photography is my key that opens the doorway to this other realm.

So, when my clients want to increase the power of the mind, and step through the portal of “mind over matter”, I know they can achieve it – because I’ve already done it.

No Matter where life takes you, where you are going, or where you have been, you are right where you are meant to be, experiencing whatever you are meant to be experiencing. You are there of your own making. No excuses, no blame, that’s just the way it is.

Always the best to each and every one of you,

Great Things Happen!

Revolutionizing the Way We Learn

Mental Photography

by David Jurewicz

Revision & Foreword by Shannon Panzo

I recently was going through some old archives and came across a few articles that have stood the test of time. This just happens to be one of those articles. Even the term from a over a decade ago, Brain Plasticity, has made a comeback and easily explains why, even though every cell of our body is replaced every 7 years, the brain can continue to store and recall all the information you were ever exposed to. Now that is the Power of the Mind! Tremendous!

When people just like you take the opportunity to increase brain power, and apply mind over matter to change their lives, they succeed. Then they want to tell the world about it. This is one of those stories. Trust me when I tell you this, this story doesn’t even touch on some of the incredible things that Dave Jurewicz did with Brain Management and Mental Photography.

Now, I did make a few changes to the original to bring it up to speed. I changed Subliminal Photography to Mental Photography, and Subliminal Dynamics to Brain Management. It is still the same organization and the same teaching. We have only improved the teaching since Dave Jurewicz went through. So, revived and revised, here it is…

The Way it Happened for Me…

Five years ago when I purchased my first computer system, I couldn’t persuade my laser printer to print postcards. Envelopes and letterheads worked fine, but for some reason it refused to print postcards. I read all the manuals on the printer and the software that were available and could not find a reason why postcards were rejected. I even called the head programmer of the software who himself didn’t know the answer and promised me he would brainstorm my problem with other programmers and possibly arrive at a solution. Bear in mind, I didn’t have training or prior knowledge of the workings of a computer system.

The next morning, in the shower, the solution to the problem came to me in a brilliant flash! All I had to do was type a command stream into the software that would fool the printer into believing that the post card was really just an ordinary sheet of paper. I couldn’t wait to get to the office. I typed in the commands and it worked the first time! Thereafter, the shower became one of the greatest places for the reception of great ideas. What I couldn’t figure out is why the ideas came then. What did I do to prompt my mind to reach these brilliant conclusions?

The quest for an answer to that question caused me to read numerous books on psychology and brain power. The books reminded me that the subconscious mind continues to process information through the night and will give one a conclusion provided it has been given that task. There must be a technology, I thought, that one can use to program one’s mind to continually work on the immense mental tasks that our conscious mind would normally find overwhelming.

The Insight…

The answer came recently when a friend of mine called to tell me about a man named Richard Welch who developed a technology called Mental Photography®. His company, Brain Management®, teaches world wide. Mr. Welch explained that the mind, through the eyes and other senses, takes in millions of bits of information continually and is consistently in the process of evaluating that information. Some of the information it brings to our conscious attention immediately, as in the case of a plate we’re holding that’s too hot and may burn us.

Other data it evaluates and helps us reach conclusions. For example, have you ever talked to a person who, on the surface, seems genuine, sincere and looks you in the eye with confidence, but your guts were telling you that the person was lying to you? Your conscious mind may reprimand your gut feeling by saying ‘this is a attractive person, they don’t seem incongruent in their actions, they can’t be lying.’ Could it be that our subconscious mind had reached a conclusion about that person based on the data it was receiving? It may have been imperceptible to the conscious mind, a twitch, a slightly higher pitch in their voice, nervous gestures or body movements. All of that accumulated data caused your mind to reach a conclusion — and it was probably correct.

Like Minded Research…

The same inner mind is called a servo-mechanism by Dr. Maxwell Maltz in his book, Psycho-Cybernetics, published in 1960. He contended that the inner mind is a brilliant servant whose sole purpose is the performance of tasks assigned to it by the conscious mind. This combination makes man a goal-striving organism who finds fulfillment in pursuing and overcoming challenges. What Dr. Maltz and Mr. Welch both concluded that we clearly underestimate the abilities of the mind.

For example, Mr. Welch privately funded research into the capabilities of the mind in the mid-1970’s. He discovered that while the average reading speed was approximately 250 words per minute, speed-reading could possibly increase the speed up to a few thousand words per minute. The faster a person could speed-read, the greater their comprehension levels and retention levels.

This may counter popular belief that a person must read slowly and methodically to maximize retention. The mistake in this thinking is the assumption that the brain is limited to the amount of information it can receive — not so, according to Mr. Welch’s studies. Mr. Welch was able to get his test subjects to easily consume 25,000+ words per minute. By using a tachistoscope, a device that flashes book pages on a screen at the rate on one every 40 milliseconds, test subjects could consume in excess of 2,000,000 words per minute! Can one’s brain retain that amount of information?

Subliminal Information…

Amazingly, the answer is “yes.” When tested on the material, subjects would regularly score in the 70 to 90 percentile range. The reason this works, according to Mr. Welch, is that if the technology he developed is followed, a specific part of the brain is accessed which in effect is long term memory. The information taken in by-passes the conscious mind and goes directly to the mind’s storage tanks. Thereafter, it is a matter of being able to reach into the storage area and retrieve information as needed. This requires an education in accessing techniques.
It is difficult for the conscious mind to conceive of accessing such large amounts of information and of the ability to retain it in long term memory indefinitely. After all, since we were five years of age, our schooling system taught us that to remember anything we must use slow, methodical repetition. Sending information directly to long-term memory, by-passing conscious thinking almost smacks of educational heresy.

More Like Minded Research…

Mr. Welch is not alone in his discovery of this amazing part of our mind. A research study conducted at Towson State University in Towson, Maryland, in 1977, reported by Christina Selway, Mark Jacobson and Frederick Parente into the area of eidetic imagery, or “photographic memory” as it’s commonly known, concluded that eidetic memory is a large capacity to store detailed and colorful images that are retained by the individual for long periods of time.
The evidence they found suggested that eidetic imagery is maintained in the adult population as a little used memory store that may be accessible to most everyone in certain conditions. However, it was clear that the subjects had to believe in their eidetic ability to maximize their performance. The study concluded that eidetic imagery can be learned. The use of eidetic memory in the adult years is probably a matter of practicing the use of a memory strategy rather than the possession of a unique ability by just some.

The Eidetic Memory…

Indeed, prior to our attending elementary school, from the date of birth, we used what Mr. Welch calls Mental Photography®, to learn everything we needed to become societally functional. Some children learn several languages, how to walk, to recite books and movies verbatim, and even to manipulate adults to get what they desire, all in just five years! This is accomplished, according to Mr. Welch, though the direct access to long-term memory by the child, using a natural innate whole-brain learning ability. This direct link to stored information diminishes as the rote-memorization of schooling suppresses this inherent talent.

Mr. Welch simply contends that a person can regain that valuable talent. The same amazing learning abilities a child has can be reawakened in us as adults! Think of what that could mean to us. Suppose we developed cancer in our body and were given several options of treatment. Which treatment do we choose, especially if we haven’t studied the disease? Our life depends upon that decision. In the past, we would credulously leave that decision to our physicians. Now in addition to listening to the recommendations of our physicians, imagine being able to go to the library, Mentally Photograph® every piece of information ever written about our particular disease, have our subconscious analyze that information and, with the help of our physician, reach the conclusion that’s in our highest interests? This is only one of the scenarios that has become a reality for thousands of people who have been exposed to Brain Management technology, including myself.

The Brain Management Seminar – Results from Application

I attended Mr. Welch’s Brain Management® course. There, I learned how to take a 300 page book and send it directly to long-term memory in less than five minutes! I was amazed that when I was tested on the information, I scored 70-85% on the exams. In the weeks after the course, I photographed my entire reading pile and most of my library of books at home. This is the first time in my life where I have been completely caught up on all my reading including all trade journals, correspondence, etc. I have mentally ingested reference materials, fiction and non-fiction novels, life stories, the Bible, and even dictionaries.

I am amazed at what ideas, thoughts, and words come out of my mouth. Words that normally were not in my vocabulary, I am now using correctly! Large, complex ideas are now coming to me that previously were not available. Indeed, I’ve discovered that a person’s entire level of thinking grows exponentially when one feeds the mind large doses of input. I’ve spoken to some of the tens of thousands students that have been exposed to the Brain Management® technology and their reaction to what they have learned is very similar to mine.

Brain Plasticity…

There isn’t any danger we will overload our mind. The amazing brain makes more connections between brain cells to compensate for your increased information input, according to a recent Bristol-Myers Squibb symposium titled “Brain Plasticity: A Lifespan Perspective”. They concluded, as reported by USA Today that having more connections per brain cell allows for more information to be processed, enhancing mental function. As you age, brain cell connections can diminish. Having a greater number of connections per brain cell means that there are more connections as a whole, so the connections that are lost to normal aging are therefore a smaller percentage of your brain’s capacity. Thus, you have further to go before crossing a threshold of loss and succumbing to age-related dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease. Hence the question, are we feeding our brain enough information-type food?

Many of us may answer “no” as the rigor of daily life leaves us little time for deep study. For those of us that do read regularly, one book per month or even one per week, may not be enough to keep up with large amounts of data now available to us. A technology that allows us access to vast amounts of information quickly is the crucial technology for the 1990’s. Without this ability, it will be difficult for any person, business or nation, for that matter, to keep up with rapid revolutionary technological changes we are seeing each year. Every aspect of life is changing at a pace never before seen in history.

Imagine the Impact…

Picture a system whereby information to children can be stepped up dramatically. This could have massive impact upon what type of adults today become. It would minimize boredom at school and lessen the child’s desire to participate in errant behavior due to a lack of focus. It could possibly move college information to grade school levels and allow colleges to spend less time bringing students up to speed, to focus their direct brain power to resolve current issues troubling mankind.

Further, studies conducted by Mr. Welch indicate that most learning disabilities such as dyslexia and even what some call “mental retardation” are conscious level disabilities. For the most part, the subconscious mind in these people is intact and functioning normally.

Step Away From Normal…

Since Mental Photography® is a function of the subconscious mind, individuals who were tested with learning disabilities (even some considered legally blind) can access data off the printed page with high level of recall and retention. While this may sound unbelievable, consider L. Weiskrantz’s discovery in an article Blindsight (1986 New York: Oxford University Press) where cortically blind patients were studied. The patients reported no relevant conscious visual experiences for objects when they were required to make forced-choice decisions. So, high levels of learning need not to be the privilege of a select segment of humanity. It is possible to raise the so-called “I.Q.” of the large majority of mankind efficiently.

Take the First Step…

To get there, we need to take the first step. We must learn and exercise this mental technology to reach higher levels of learning. It is available today and easily accessible. Once we learn how to efficiently tap into our vast storehouses of written knowledge, we must trust that our inner mind will work diligently to process this information and create effective solutions to the problems we are facing. We must be courageous, unafraid to shift the learning methods we have used for decades and rise to a new, improved level of learning. We must believe that higher learning levels are possible.

Perhaps, someday, books may no longer be the method of choice by information hungry people (it’s very tedious to turn pages fast enough). Instead, we may have machines in the home and in schools like the tachistoscope that flashes information on a screen rapidly so a person can access all the known information on a topic and have a mental command of a particular subject. Could there be a cable channel in the future that plays volumes of data on demand on any subject that you desire? Perhaps, data at these new learning levels will be available through the “information highway” which is right around the corner. These products will only be feasible if enough people are exposed to the Brain Management® technology and demand information at these increased levels.

The real question we must each answer is “Are we satisfied with our current level of learning or will we be part of the new information revolution?”

Increase Brain Power with Mental Photography

Study, get good grades, Mental Photography

Do want Good Grades, Study Little, AND Have a Life?

This is an issue that presents itself time and again. Students of all ages benefit when they increase brain power. Since the subconscious mind is the doer, put it to work for you to allow you to excel, and make your life more enjoyable. Good clear mind techniques are the vehicle. Like a muscle, your mind becomes stronger. Even the power of thought over your obstacles becomes second nature.

Traditional Study to achieve good grades…

It has been calculated you should study 2-3 hours or more for every hour you spend in class. That’s INSANE! But that is exactly what people do to achieve good grades in school. Why should we, the most advanced organisms on the planet be so ineffective at the one thing that sets above all other organisms – our ability to learn?

Just Imagine…

What if there was a way that you could cut your study time down to a mere fraction of what is required, get even better grades than before, have a life outside of school, and even enjoy going to school knowing it would be stress free and easy? What would you do to get it?

Are you serious about getting good grades?

A study was done back in the 1970s to find out what the ideal learning temperature is. The results of that research shows that we learn most effectively at 41 degrees Fahrenheit? The person that came up with that study, should be studied themselves. It’s excruciating – attempting to learn anything at that temperature. You are too busy trying to keep warm. I hope you can write with your mittens on.

While we are growing up and going through the rigors of what school means to us, we are constantly reminded that we need good (if not great) grades in school. But school is boring. Why are we still using methods of teaching from the 1800s in the school system of today? Sure there are some schools that teach outside of that forum, but most schools teach the same old way.

Bringing You Up to Speed with Mental Photography…

Even into the 1950s you learned everything you needed to survive by 5th grade. After that, it was just extra. In the world of today, you cannot afford to stop learning – ever. The amount of information that we need, to be fluent in just one topic, is mind boggling. In 1995, over 1 million new books were written in that year. The amount of books written each year since has increased exponentially.

No wonder that students feel bored and unchallenged in school. There is a whole world of information out there and others want to deliver it to you as fast as you can take it in – the Internet. I remember when people programmed their own Commodore (PC). Now most PCs run in the Gigahertz range. Even though our mind is capable of assimilating information at these fantastic speeds, there is something getting in the way.

What is the constriction to this information flow? It is actually one of the first things that everyone is taught in school – READING. No wonder school is boring. Reading is at the heart of it all. All the while your mind is screaming out, “Give me more, I WANT IT!”

A Thought About Reading, Study, and Grades…

The general schooling systems ‘think’ they are doing a good job when it comes to ‘reading’. They think that because reading works for more than half of the children. So they pat each other on the back telling themselves how well they did. They are DELUSIONAL! When most people go to school, 50% is a FAILING grade. I guess they cannot abide by their own rules.

The Internal Dialog of a Student…

In Grade School it started. The typical parent / child conversation would go, “I just want to have fun. My friends are doing fun things, but I have to do homework. My parents say my grades aren’t good enough. I have trouble concentrating. School is boring.”

In High School, with a few more things we can be doing, but the dialog pretty much stays the same, “My friends are going out and having a fun time without me. I have to study too much to keep my grades up. I don’t have a social life. Why don’t the jocks need to study? If I study too much, I will be one of the geeks. If I do too well, nobody will like me. I want straight A’s, but I don’t want to work hard to get it. I want school to be easy and have fun with my friends.”

Finally, some of us go on to higher education. Our priorities have changed, we have taken on a pseudo-responsibility, but the internal dialog says, “And I thought high school was hard! I need to cheat just to keep my grades up. If my grades slide, I lose my student grant. How can I have a ‘life’ when all I do is go to class, study, and work to pay for what my tuition doesn’t? This sucks – I am so tired all of the time. Mom, can you wire me some money,…again? My social life is my computer. If I could only reduce my study time – I might have a life!” Thus reveals the life of another dysfunctional person.

Did you know…?

Statistically, a college graduate will spend 4-5 years getting a degree, spending on the average $80,000 for the degree, and will only make an additional $130,000 OVER THEIR ENTIRE LIFETIME. That’s only an earning of $50,000 extra. Most will settle into a field that has nothing to do with their degree, and almost none of them will ever use most of the information they have learned during college. If you are putting several years of YOUR LIFE into a degree, it better pay off better than that!

You Can Change That…

Starting today, you could start using your natural abilities to Super-Excel at whatever you desire. These are abilities you are born with – so you never lose them. Abilities that when activated, will propel you as far as you want to go. Did you ever wonder why children are Pure Genius? They are information sponges! You can be too, if you set aside the idea that Reading is the only way you can get information.

 

They Tricked You

Somebody played a Vicious Evil Trick on you when you went to school. Instead of allowing you to learn as you had always learned everything so effectively, they taught you to Read. They even convinced you to let go of that ‘old childish way of natural learning’ – Your Photographic Memory. (The photographic memory in children is known as the Eidetic Memory.)

Did you know that you can regain (rebuild) access to your photographic memory? When you were born, it was completely turned on. Well, it still is. You just don’t know how to access it anymore.

We Will Show You How.

I teach people how to regain the access to and from their Photographic Memory. I teach Mental Photography. The act of performing Mental Photography super-excites the mind and exercises the brain in phenomenal ways. It taps into and exercises all of the regions of the brain, including your naturally occurring photographic memory. Since we are dealing with information based material and exercises, the photographic memory becomes less elusive, a little more obvious, and contactable. Thus we get to begin experiencing it with various types of recall from there.

Now, you may have been watching a few too many movies on television, and saw Total Recall or Rainman, but that is not quite how this is in reality. Recall is Not expected to be like someone turned on the lights. Usually it starts in more subtle ways. Maybe you start reading a book you have Mentally Photographed and you FEEL you have read it before, like deja vu. You may find yourself in a conversation that you really know nothing about the topic, or so you thought, until you start streaming out statistical data, or precise information on the topic. Then you realize you Mentally Photographed a book on that subject.

These are only a couple of examples of what is possible when you start seeing the recall happen – and it grows, it gets better, and more reliable as you continue to use the Mental Photography and the recall methods that stimulate the recall to happen even more. Another thing – do you really think that your ‘conscious’ mind that has been defending reading for all those years is going to just “let it happen” if the light bulb suddenly does come on? You will most likely find a resounding NO! It’s simply the nature of the beast.

We prepare you for the growth curve that you need to take on. We have been teaching this a very long time, and we know the best way for our clients to gain results with the techniques. We have had over 30 years to know what works.

But, Your Cheating!

If you are a student, and one your acquaintances has carried over a photographic recall memory from their childhood. If they use that ability to pass tests in school, are they cheating? The answer is NO. If you learn how to use the same ability for yourself and use it to answer your tests, are you cheating? You may be surprised of your answer. The answer is still NO, because everyone has these abilities. They are natural. Therefore, it is not cheating. But it IS the Ultimate Edge.

So if you want to see what the subconscious mind power can do for you, if you want our mind techniques to release that huge ability you have, if you want to increase brain power and really make something of yourself, then you have come to the right place.

Study Easier Faster Smarter – use Mental Photography!
