KNOW YOURSELF PODCAST Listen each week, to one podcast. Based on practical self improvement principles. From the insight of an engineer, back in 1989, about the data processing structure of the human mind, recognizing, filtering, storing patterns, without stopping. Patterns of guilt, shame, fear. How to silence painful subconscious patterns and become self aware.
Effective mind control can carry you to the highest levels of consciousness. The secret is to become familiar with those levels by developing your skills in sensing them. Lower emotional levels include fear, shame, guilt, apathy, despair, greed, anger and pride.
Remember how you immediately recognize and interact with your friends? Familiarity with these emotional responses leads you to a similar state. They become as familiar to you as your friends. When you become swiftly aware of these pitfalls, you will reach your highest PFR levels. That state grants you reason, neutrality, acceptance and peace.
The PFR level will continue and open your mind to love and joy. Evolutionary history, the logic of ascending control systems and age old Buddhist experiences point jointly to the concrete existence of these states of mind.
Can An Algorithm Be Controlling The Mind?
I am not a physician, but an engineer. Way back in 1989, I catalogued how the ELIMINATION approach of an AI Expert System could reveal a way by which the nervous system could store and retrieve astronomically large memories. That insight is central to the six unique new premises presented in this website.
These new premises could explain an enigma. A physician is aware of thousands of diseases and their related symptoms. How does he note a symptom and focus on a single disease in less than half a second? How could he identify Disease X out of 8000 diseases with just a glance?
First, the total born and learned knowledge available to the doctor could not exist anywhere other than as the stored/retrieved data within the 100 billion neurons in his brain. The perceptions, sensations, feelings and physical activities of the doctor could only be enabled by the electrical impulses flowing through the axons of those neurons. The data enabling that process could be stored as digital combinations.
Second, combinatorial decisions of neurons cannot be made by any entity other than the axon hillock, which decides the axonal output of each neuron. The hillock receives hundreds of inputs from other neurons. Each hillock makes the pivotal neuronal decision about received inputs within 5 milliseconds. Axon hillocks could be storing digital combinations. It could be adding each new incoming digital combination to its memory store. The hillock could fire impulses, if it matched a stored combination. If not, it could inhibit further impulses. Using stored digital data to make decisions about incoming messages could make the axon hillocks intelligent.
Third, combinations are reported to enable a powerful coding mode for axon hillocks. Olfactory combinatorial data is known (Nobel Prize 2004) to store memories for millions of smells. Each one of 100 billion axon hillocks have around a 1000 links to other neurons. The hillocks can mathematically store more combinations than there are stars in the sky. Each new digital combination could be adding a new relationship link. In this infinite store, specific axon hillocks could be storing all the symptom = disease (S=D) links known to the doctor as digital combinations.
Fourth, instant communication is possible in the nervous system. Within five steps, information in one hillock can reach all other relevant neurons. Just 20 Ms for global awareness. Within the instant the doctor observes a symptom, feedback and feed forward links could inform every S=D link of the presence of the symptom. Only the S=D link of Disease X could be recalling the combination and recognizing the symptom.
Fifth, on not recognizing the symptom, all other S=D hillocks could be instantly inhibiting their impulses. The S=D links of Disease X could be continuing to fire. Those firing S=D link would be recalling past complaints, treatments and signs of Disease X, confirming the diagnosis. This could be enabling axon hillocks to identify Disease X out of 8000 in milliseconds. Eliminating improbable (unrecognized) prospects to arrive at a possible (recognized in the past) solution powers the powerful inductive logic of the mind!
Worldwide interest in this website is acknowledging its rationale. Not metaphysical theories, but processing of digital memories in axon hillocks could be explaining innumerable mysteries of the mind. Over three decades, this website has been assembling more and more evidence of the manipulation of emotional and physical behaviors by narrowly focused digital pattern recognition. It has also been receiving over 2 million page views from over 150 countries.
Why Does The Mind Shift Levels?
Your mental states exist at many levels. A person lives, but remains in coma below the lowest level of consciousness. As you rise from barely aware states, at the middle animal levels, your world view may shift suddenly to despair, or shame. At the highest PFR level, you will be calm. Your moods change with each level.
Why are there such drastic changes in your views between the different levels of consciousness? Because, your triune brain contains competing feeling and emotional controls, including reptilian and mammalian subsystems, which evolved over millions of years. Each control entity envelops you into the views of its level of consciousness. An intuitive decision making process shifts controls instantly between the conflicting views of varied levels of consciousness. You remain helpless, while your world view swings erratically between joy and despair.
How Did The Levels Evolve?
Elementary
pangs, like hunger, or anger provided controls for the brains of
reptiles, snakes and birds. Advanced social feelings like shame and
guilt added more controls to the mammalian brains of dogs and cats.
These operate at lower levels of consciousness. The final addition
was the PFR, the rational subsystem, the highest level
intelligence, in the recently expanded prefrontal cortex. When you
don't know the existence of these levels, you will be unwittingly
dominated by unpredictable moods. When you become familiar with the
symptoms of different levels of consciousness, PFR will take control
and free you from such turmoil.
What Is The PFR View Of The World?
While
the lower operating levels whip you through a slew of painful
emotions, PFR manages the system with a detached unemotional view. The
Buddhists have seen the view of the highest levels of consciousness.
“You will not see something is good or bad, whether it is a
beautiful picture or a very ugly picture, a sweet sound or an ugly
sound. When you act like this, your mind will stay calm.”
What Is The Speed Of The System?
Your
mind chooses your options with lightning rapidity. It remembers
millions of evolutionary experiences and can recall anything you have
seen, or heard. Intuition enables
instant processing. In the blink of an eye, it receives a sensory
perception, recognizes it, interprets it and then responds with motor
activity. It sees a word on this page, recognizes it as a unique
entity, gathers its meaning and then moves on to the next word,
within the time it takes spilled coffee to hit the saucer.
What Is The Limitation On PFR?
Your
system decides your level. The famous experiments of Benjamin Libet
showed that the emotion which controls a particular level of
consciousness acts before you know it. Libet studied subjects who
voluntarily pressed a button, while noting the position of a dot on a
computer screen, which shifted its position every 43 milliseconds.
Each time, he had also timed the beginning of motor neuron activity
in the brains of his subjects. The noted moment of depressing the
button was the moment of conscious awareness.
Libet
discovered that awareness occurred 350 milliseconds AFTER the
beginning of motor activity. Each level of consciousness takes charge
and then informs you. If you are angry, you will act in anger. If you
are calm, you actions will be just right. So, to control your mind,
you have to put PFR in charge before you act!
How Much Knowledge Does The System Store?
Shifting
control systems manage your brain. Billions of nerve cells within
those circuits have amassed an ancient wisdom, on a galactic scale.
To get an idea, in a grown human body, with the DNA in each cell
containing a sequence of over 3 billion chemical nucleotide bases,
the total of those codes in the body would FILL THE GRAND CANYON
FIFTY TIMES OVER WITH 500 PAGE BOOKS! Your changing levels of
consciousness are also supported by massive inherited and acquired
knowledge.
Are Emotions Impartial?
Early
in history, the evaluation of smells enabled the olfactory bulb to
detect safety, danger, or opportunity and make survival choices. Just
like the olfactory bulb, several organs in the limbic system initiate
different levels of consciousness, adding more choices. Those organs
trigger anger, fear or guilt. Your nervous system permits only a
single control system to take charge. Nature also limits the
information available to lower levels of consciousness. Anger, fear,
or guilt will focus the organism on a specific strategy, inhibiting
awareness of other viewpoints. Consequences worry you less, when you
are angry. Each emotion limits
knowledge and envelops the system in its innate level of
consciousness. Dominated by the current perception, you are enveloped
in anger, gloom, or joy.
How Old Is The
Wisdom of PFR?
Peace
of mind requires your ability to induce the PFR level of
consciousness. Your prefrontal regions contain a powerful analytical
intelligence. Those regions have access to all your sensory
perceptions, recognition messages and emotional patterns, which
enable your mind to make your subtle decisions - to support
democracy, or to invest in a home. Uninhibited by emotions, at the
highest level of consciousness, PFR has the wisdom of the ages and the
ability to make sense of a complex modern world.
What Is Buddhist History?
The
Buddhists have advocated an effective mind control method to reach
the highest levels of consciousness. Observe the shifting streams of
thought within you. Matthieu Ricard, the eminent Buddhist Monk said:
"One may wonder what people do in retreats, sitting for eight
hours a day. They familiarize themselves with a new way of dealing
with the arising of thoughts. When you start getting used to
recognizing thoughts as they arise, it is like rapidly spotting
someone you know in a crowd. When a powerful thought or anger arises,
you recognize it. That helps you to avoid being overwhelmed by this
thought." The Buddhists know that self knowledge will induce
your highest level of consciousness to take charge.
How Can You Reach
The PFR Level?
These Mind
Control Tips offer
you a practical path to reach your PFR level of consciousness. With
its immense wisdom, PFR can give you many an answer. It is the seat of
your conscience. It reflects your truest wishes. It requires effort
to retain your highest level of consciousness, with PFR in ongoing
control. That requires self awarenes, which identifies and inhibits
the competing emotions, which disturb you. When PFR clearly identifies
an emotion, it becomes stilled. With persisting practice, PFR will
take over ongoing control and you will become calm. At the highest
levels of consciousness, you will view the ups and downs of life
without emotions, “like watching a bird in the sky.” It is worth
the effort. Begin today!
