Brain Thoughts

Who's Thinking Ahead?In May, former Sen. Gary Hart made an ominous prediction in The Denver Post. He said that a terrorist attack on American soil was likely and a large number of Americans could be killed.Nobody listened. He said our national security policy was based on an outmoded Cold War model that failed to address threats from individuals or groups, not "nation-states." Nobody noticed. He said a national defense based on might was insufficient in the new century when technological and economic sabotage and sneak attacks were likely strategies. He said that in the age of terrorism, "knowledge and agility are vital." It was not idle speculation. Hart and former Sen. Warren Rudman co-chaired the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century. The bipartisan group worked for 2 1/2 years. The Colorado Democrat and the New Hampshire Republican presented their unanimous report in January. "The White House shut it down," Hart has said. The New York Times didn't even cover the story.... (The above article excerpted from Diane Carmen, Denver Post, September 16, 2001) StungLast night, I worked all day long on book orders, and other business, and by about 11:30 PM I was ready to relax and call it quits for the day. I took my shoes off, I went into my living room to practice some yoga. A positive and nurturing activity for spirit and body.About two minutes into one of the exercises I suddenly felt an excruciating pain in my "this little piggie had none" toe. It was as if someone was jabbing a sewing needle directly into the top of my toe. I collapsed on the floor, grabbing my foot, looking at my toe and trying to figure out WHAT THE HELL was going on, my god, the pain was intense. Only a moment later did I see a bee crawling across the floor by my foot. I got stung. No reason. Here I am minding my own business, doing something positive, and out of nowhere comes this angry bee who figures its his job to attack me. Hey, I'm a vegetarian who has nothing against bees. I didn't deserve this. I didn't even know he was there. When a bee stings, he dies. Yet he stung me anyway. Dumb ass bee. It accomplished nothing. I could have kept the back door shut, but I didn't. So Bee it. Every CoinOne view of the universe (which I learned at the brain lab), has Universe divided into two main forces: Energy and Entropy.Energy is what you access when you clean up your room, and make it nice and tidy, and nice to live in. Energy keeps things nice and orderly, like tending your garden. Entropy is that force that causes your room to look like a tornado just went through. It's that big hailstorm that ruins every tomato in your patch. The universe is made up of Yin and Yang. Opposites. Nice sunny days, AND hurricanes. Light and dark. Teenage, and Old Age. "Good", and "evil". Its all one big package called Existance. Consciousness. Universe. Your frontal lobes will guide you to watch before you cross the street in front of that big Mack Truck coming straight down the block. Your wisdom will help you keep your mind on what is important and essential, and to avoid what is not important and unnecessary. If you are smart-- you will know not to build your house on the side of the trembling volcano. But there is something to be said about the giant meteor out in space headed our way. Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time, and sometimes you are not. Who Is InsaneThere are many good people in the world.

The AMAZING BRAIN ADVENTURE's MOST POPULAR PAGES:
Your Amazing Brain Adventure is a web site all about Tickling Your Amygdala- i.e. turning on the best part of your brain as easy as clicking on a light switch. This is done as easily as imagining a feather inside of your head stimulating a compass, the amygdala. The amygdala is a set of twin organs, a part of your brain that sits right in between the most advance part of your brain- the frontal lobes and pre-frontal cortex- and the most primitive part of your brain- your "reptile brain" and brain stem. By tickling your amygdala you instantly and directly increase creativity, intelligence, pleasure, and also make possible a spontaneous natural processes known as "paranormal abilities", although such things as telepathy and ESP are really as natural as breathing, or as easy doing simple math in your head. The ability to self stimulate the amygdala by something as simple as thought has been proven in laboratory experiments, such as those conducted at Harvard University research labs, 1999-2009, and can be tracked with modern brain scanning machines such as fMRI and PET... Indeed, thought is faster than light.
