The Web Ask Dave Taylor
is a device
for survival and reproduction, and reason is just one of its various techniques.
- Edward O. Wilson (1929 )
In the brain itself, every second, about tem millions of cells die off and
another replacement of another ten millions cells created to reinstate
its functions.
This is the level of power and capacity of the Brain at your disposal
every moment daily. Likewise the potential to achieve what we want is
consider as ‘No Limits.
The earliest development of the centre layers of the Brain controls the
primitive functions; the most intellectual sophisticated recently
developed functions are managed by areas towards the front and
surface of the Brain.
The Brain stem, also known as the “Reptilian Brain” because it has
similar structures and functions as the cold-blooded reptiles controlling
the body’s instinctive functions, such as heart-beat, respiration and
digestion keeping the organism alive by operating its instinct.
These two divisions of our Brain interact with each another and the
outside world is the centre point and it has everything to do in creating
your ambitious lifetime or lifestyle dreams.
What part does the “Conscious Brain” play in the main Brain?
It is the part of the Brain that thinks and reasons where we exercise
our free will and at the same time we use it to evaluate options to
make new decisions.
The “Frontal Lobe” can be consider as the “CEO’s” of the Main Brain,
responsible in focusing, learning, concentrating and also the power for
observing.
Just like all Commanders whom have distinct personalities, every one
of us has our “Frontal Lobe” that fulfils this commanding role in our
own unique and distinct style.
We would consider that none of these traits are better than the other,
and none of us has just one to two abilities and capabilities to the
exclusion of any other.
We also must take notice of the various reasons why some are
successful and some people are not is because from the lowest to the
highest, we shall call these different aspect s of conscious spectrum
as; “Will Power, Memory Power, Perception Power, Reasoning Power,
Intuition Power and Imagination Power.
Will Power
Will Power is the conscious faculty involved when making decision for
doing some new acts or something new to us, it supplies the basic
urge or drives those catalyses circumstances and at the same time
moves the action forwardly for achievements.
Memory Power
The idea might seem like science fiction but try thinking about it when
you are watching a television show; where was that programme at
that moment before we turn on the set?
Well, of course, it will be easily accessible because our Brain is the first
one that first processed that experience, which means that our Brain
and the happen experience both have unique resonance. Grasp,
perspective, insight, and having a broad view are all different methods
that we can describe this conscious function of our memory.
Perception Power
But is it not true, because we see through our eyes, just as you see
through with contact lenses or short/long sighted glasses but instead
we can see or watch things with our Brain.
What we actually see is not the eyes that detect, but base on the
neurological pattern in the Brain which explain why perception is so
individual and much variable.
You may interview several people observing the same object or event
but yet when being to describe them; you will probably get many
different answer or completely different story from each person.
We may think that a few of these people are telling lies but actually
they can be narrating the truth only at a different point of view due to
individual neurological pattern form in their Brain.
Under such situation, this may allow us to have the benefits of their
experiences and perspectives which can add on to our views, with this
only we can then and only then ask our self the question; will their
perception can really help me to achieve my ambitious lifetime goals.
It is true enough that when we add others perception with our own
views will significantly increase and improve our intelligence with more
chances of being success.
Reasoning Power
But at the same time in this World there are many remarkably
successful people or business people who are not particularly strong in
this area although it is not a good or bad trait but simply another type
of colour in the spectrum.
Intuition Power
Intuition Power is the faulty of knowing the situation before you think,
especially in business circles we can often hear people using other
terms to describe this capacity of hunch, judgement or rather instinct ‘
remarks such as;
He really has good instincts; or she is gifted with sharp judgement but
actually none of these are really accurate.
Have we ever walked into a room fill with people and immediately can
forecast that something is wrong somewhere even without any hint or
outward indication from the group of people in the room, yet you do
not know how you just simply knew; well that is intuition!
Then someone just walk over to you and said; well this guy’s pet
doggy was run over by a car which suddenly give you a very different
feeling and understanding of that so called “bad vibe” that you had
pick upon and that is what actually means.
Now this is what had happened; your intuition had absolutely read the
correct information but it is just your reasoning gave it a bad
interpretation!
This is not your intuition that is at fault, it was actually the rational
process of trying to understand the situation and the way to
strengthen your intuition is to apply complete faith and trust in it and
try to resist the temptation to attach meaning or interpretation
towards your sensing of the instinct.
All Human have an acute intuitive capacity; we only differ in our ability
to integrate that intuitive sense with rest of our conscious functions.
More than we allow our other conscious functions get in the way with
questions of our feelings. When mentioned that someone has
especially strong intuition, what it mean is that he has a particularly
well-developed ability of awareness towards his intuition and should
not drown with other conscious processes and also has some very
powerful implications.
Imagination Power
What is imagination?
Imagination can means that we, Human are able to create pictures in
our positive minds out of images being drawn from the quantum field
of all possibilities, and by making those pictures as vivid as if they
were physically happenings.
But we all need some very specific, practical techniques for unleashing
our imagination and harnessing its amazing creative power to create
the seeds that will grow our successful lifetime goals and dreams.
People can have the biggest, most wonderful dreams in the world and
it will not do a lick of good if we still fall prey to that grand fallacy that
can sabotage and smash our lifetime dreams into pieces.
Let us say; six frogs sat on a lily pad that grows in the pond; then one
frog decided to jump off to another pad; how many frogs were left
sitting on the pad?
Well, most people will answer; obviously, only five left sitting on the
pad! Congratulations! Your capacity for analytical reasoning is correct
and in good shape, but unfortunately that is not the correct answer;
the answer should be “six left”.
It is because only one decided to jump off but it did not actually do
any action or jump off, that is why the answer is “six frogs left”.
This is what we call exactly our Grand Fallacy; we think that because
we have imagined something, understood something, figured out
something, planned something, rather decide on something, but it is a
foregone conclusion that we are going to do that something which in
most cases we do not do.
Well do you think it is the true; no, it is simply not the truth; in fact,
the amazing thing is that we keep thinking this despite the wealth of
evidence to the contrary.
You may visit any book store and take a look at all the titles on
dieting, and yet obesity is still on the climbing rate; why?
Simply it is because like the frog, “it only decide to jump but no action
taken; just like the world is full of opportunities, so many excellent and
worthy decisions to be make; sadly to say “there are no results” unless
with the cause of actions then we can see the effects and results.
In the Bible, the apostle Paul wrote this wonderful statement that
beautifully captures the common frustration of Human experience;
“For the good I will do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I
practice”.
Now, here is the Grand Fallacy, most people think that all wonderful
conscious functions control what we do, actually they do not; for all
the brilliance, the conscious mind has one huge and large handicap; “It
does not get things done in the long term”.
The conscious mind may be the captain of the ship, but it is the guy at
the engine room that actually makes the ship going and not the
captain; and here is the fact; how much control our conscious
functions exert over what we actually do; the answer; somewhere
between two to four percent; and that’s it; think of it now how to start
our actions immediately to achieve our lifetime dreams and goals.
One reason that we believe is; this Grand Fallacy of conscious control
is that we are so acutely aware of that little bit of control that our
conscious brain does exert, but make no mistake,; even if it is two to
four percent is only a tiny bit; it is still a critically important tiny bit.
This is the cause of the conscious brain taking over the control to give
new orders and it is an exhilarating adventure when that happens,
although it just did not last, the conscious mind can exert a very
exciting kind of control, but only for a short term.
The conscious brain for all its brilliancy has severely limited processing
ability; this may come as a shock to most people but it is not difficult
to see the truth; just think; how many numbers in a random sequence
can you remember?
Did you think about the last time you called telephone directory for
assistance for a forgotten number?
So after the call, you had hung up and can you still remember the ten
digits without writing down on a piece of paper?
Now! Are you not glad that part of your precious brain is not in charge
of all your biochemistry?
But on the other side, here is the good news; while your conscious
brain cannot possibly keep track or absorb all that pressure; your non-
conscious brain can do the job non-stop, for twenty-four hours a day,
which is every day of your life.
Now, if your conscious brain is a lot more limited than you can
realised; your non-conscious brain is actually more powerful than we
can ever imagined; and if your conscious brain is the captain, than
your non-conscious brain is the guy at the engine room along with
everyone else on board.
Our Brain, just like a ship, requires shipping crews to fulfilling every
function that makes the ship moves and doing it impeccably, perfectly
at every moment.Bear in mind, just how often your conscious brain
loses focus; that is every six to ten seconds; but guess how often your
non-conscious brain loses focus; it never, nor once and never ever.
Summary
The conscious brain perceives all about the past and future; the non-
conscious brain has no perception of past or future; as to the non-
conscious brain, everything is happening immediately.
What is more than our habits covering a good deal of more ground
than just these basics and physical routines?
A question, have you ever had the experience of getting into your car
with the next thing you know that you are at home even without clear
memory of having driven there because you are so lost in thought?
If you were not paying any attention, the question is again, why you
did not crash the car? Then how is that you can reach at the right
house safely?
It is something that we are repeating over and over again to the point
where you do not need to think about it consciously in order to repeat
the process perfectly and it applies not only things you do physically,
but also your thoughts.
Force of Habit/Belief
Belief are not necessary consider as the truth at all; at the same time
belief are not some special category of idea sitting at a higher station
of truth than our ordinary daily mortal thoughts. (Can you recall that
there is a time when everybody believed the earth was flat?)
The beliefs are not there because they are “the truth” it was because
they are simply handed down from generation to generation just as
someone had planted and put them there.
More than often, most people view their own goals in the form of
hopes or wishes; for an example such as; I hope I can succeed in my
business and start making my millions.
One will not be able to achieve their goals, lifetime dreams simply
because you do not belief that you can achieve; because those beliefs
live in that part of our brain that is conducting the show, even though
we are not aware of it.
For an example, let us say that you love your family very much and
place a high value on the family; which one of your biggest goals or
dreams in life is to create much richness for the family to stay
comfortably; so you belief that the only way to be truly successful and
earn more than enough for the family is to work real really hard; so
what happens next?
You will end up working for more than ten hours and ending up not
having time for your family; why is it so, because you do not value
them; but no, I really valued them; then alright; but your beliefs have
captive on that ten hours track, which like a hamster on the wheel; it
is beliefs that trump desires, each and every time.
Well now, here is the problem; beliefs tend to be self fulfilling, this is
because habits are thousand times stronger than desires; which worth
to re-instate, it is not three times, ten times but thousands of times
stronger.
A person may have the desire to increase the income by tenfold, but if
the habits of thought do not expect anything like that to occur than it
will next to impossible for it to happen; that someone will take no
lasting and productive actions toward that goal.
That is the reason; setting of goals and not be able to reach them;
setting the goals is the function of the conscious mind; reaching the
goals is the function of the non-conscious mind.
Let us discuss a critical question; what if the beliefs you presently have
is not serving you, and how can you change them?
The answer is; you could use your will power and make simple
decisions to have new beliefs; and that could probably work in a few
minutes; but again conscious thoughts are hard to sustain as we have
seen.
So after you have chosen the food, you will start to imagine that
delicious meal and will silently congratulate our self, knowing that you
had make an excellent choice; now the stomach start to rumbles, the
meal is ready for us to consume, but still there is a problem; no
matter how great the choice is made and how wonderful the food is
going to be, the plate is still empty.
We continue to tuck the napkin under our chin holding on the fork and
knife ready in anticipation; oh, no! Still no food is place on the plate;
now what is missing?
Actually we have not yet placed the order; it is just like the frog that
has not jump from the lily pad; so until we relay our order to the
kitchen, nothing will happen; although we know what we want but
nothing is being cooked back here!
So talking about the glory of the conscious mind is that using the
willpower and imagination, an idea can be pluck out of the quantum
sea of possibilities.
Then the odds are we will not, unless we take those conscious
thoughts, pump them to impeccable clarity and deliver them to our
non-conscious faculties; this will make the difference between setting
goals and achieving goals.
In order to achieve our goals; to actually create and build our dream
lifestyle or business, it is important to utilise both parts of our brain,
that most of us had never been taught how to do it exactly.
Mind Trivia's
Most of us use less than only 10% of our brain potential although we
have access to the rest. We use more than 10% when we have a
moment of creativity and inspiration.
Unfortunately, 95% of those thoughts we had today are the same ones
we had yesterday! That would make only 5% of thoughts we think are
new each day.
The mind is an iceberg; it floats with only 17 percent of its bulk above
water
My life and work has been aimed at one goal only: to infer or guess
how the mental apparatus is constructed and what forces interplay and
counteract in it.
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of
course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
Robert T. Pirsig (1928) U.S. writer "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance"
If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you: but if you
really make them think, they'll hate you.
Mind is the great lever of all things; human thought is the process by
which human ends are ultimately answered.
The Master said, "If one learns from others but does not think, one will
be bewildered. If, on the other hand, one thinks but does not learn
from others, one will be in peril."
The stream of our thought is like a river. On the whole easy simple
flowing predominates...But at intervals, an obstruction, a set-back, a
log-jam occurs, stops the current, creates an eddy, and makes things
move the other way.
William James (1842 - 1910) U.S. psychologist and philosopher
"The Principles of Psychology"
We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront
us in a complex and rapidly changing world...We must dare to think
about "unthinkable things" because when things become unthinkable,
thinking stops and action becomes mindless.
I'm fat, but I'm thin inside. Has it ever struck you that there's a thin
man inside every fat man, just as they say there's a statue inside
every block of stone?
Everything has been said, and we are more than seven thousand years
of human thought too late.
Many people would sooner die than think. In fact they do.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970) British philosopher and
mathematician
To know how to say what others only know how to think is what
makes men poets or sages; and to dare to say what others only dare
to think makes men martyrs or reformers – or both.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all its contents.
No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes. He sees it edited by
a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking.

When faced with ill-natured people, we should think about the fact that
in the past they failed to see the harmfulness of the disturbing
emotions which now overwhelm them.
They became accustomed to giving them full reign and this familiarity
has carried over into their present life. Nor can they have created
much positive energy.
People who are difficult to deal with offer us a precious chance to train
ourselves to be loving, compassionate and altruistic...That is why they
are like a precious treasure.

Amazing, huh?
This is what makes him behave properly, speak sensibly, act due to a
certain cause, and stay surviving despite many obstacles and problems
he faces in life.
The power of the human mind is so strong that it makes man possess
an ability to mold his personality, create his future, build his destiny,
and turn his dreams into reality – a power so real and even greater,
better, and more efficient than all other supernatural powers only
created by the imagination.
The human mind does all these things, or should I say power, because
of its unique characteristics and nature.
The mind produces all sorts of things that can be classified into either
positive or negative thoughts to the point where there exists a clash
between them.
They fight against each other to win over the individual’s decision to
which these thoughts would be taken into action.
As spontaneous as our minds can be, we can still train them to ignore
negative thoughts and focus only with the positive ones.
These ways include starting the day with cheers and smiles, asking for
guidance, planning the day ahead, being detached from the outcome,
balancing one’s desires, and a lot more.
Making these tips a regular habit will cause one to realize that looking
at the bright side of life is not at all difficult. It is easy plus it creates
great outcomes.
The other half is turning the positive thoughts into actions. And this is
where will power comes in the one responsible for making things
happen.
It’s like the voice inside our system that makes us do things in order
for our thoughts to become real.
Mind and will power is not at all distinct from one other.
When one thinks with the mind, the body immediately does actions
willingly to attain whatever it is in the mind.
In the event that he thinks he does not perform well in such situations,
he already concludes, “I can’t” without even trying.
Where, in fact, if he just made the right programming in his mind that
he can actually do it, then he will.
All it takes is the right way of thinking, plus the proper attitude, to
become a superhero in your own ways.
It’s simple.
It’s “I can.
