Best Nootropics for Dendrite Formation

You are exactly right. I have been focusing my efforts on figuring out the right combination of cognitive training that will induce long term structural changes in the brain that will allow make my waking state much clearer without the use of nootropics.

Nonetheless, I believe this goal will best be accomplished by using nootropics which enhance plasticity at the level of transcription. Currently the best two nootropics I have stumbled across in the literature and that seem the most promising are Noopept and Cerebrolysin.

These two drugs combined with a strict training regimen that provides lots of stimulation of the necessary neural networks and that allows for direct and immediate feedback appears to be the most promising. To this end, I have gone so far as to invest in the Emotiv Research edition EEG so that I can monitor which brainstates are conducive to my goals.

Two good articles on EEG training:

Emotional Control (Amygdala based techniques)

NLP Technique: Loop Break

NLP Technique: Loop Break

NLP Technique: SwishLoop Break is an experimental NLP technique that allows you to consciously change or stop an unconscious process. It works by breaking a looping process that your body uses naturally to enter various higher alpha brain states such as anxiety, fear, anger, rage and stress.

Why would I use NLP Loop Break?

You would use NLP loop break to better control your own behaviour, and with practise you can induce a loop break in someone else to help them control their own behaviour. It is a very simple NLP technique but simplicity is often best.

When someone is about to experience anger, they usually need a trigger. Put yourself in this scenario. Imagine you are driving in a car to work or an important meeting. You are already late, and the journey is long. You're already feeling quite stressed. Then, at the traffic lights, someone rear-ends your car. Even the Dali Llama would become angry at this point.

It might feel good to get out and yell at the guy who crashed into you. But it may escalate things, and it certainly isn't productive. The most efficient action is to quickly get his licence plate and insurance details, then be on your way. However, due to all the anger that is boiling in our brains, we may not think of that straight away. The anger and stress ruins our cognitive ability, and we can end up in a pointless argument or even in a fight.

What is happening in our brains during highly emotional states like this?

The reason we get quickly get more and more emotion is there is a loop occurring between our amygdala (region of the brain responsible for emotion), our memory and our body, which is bypassing our frontal lobes which is the region of the brain responsible for moderating our behaviour.

BODY

Heart rate raised. Muscles Tensed. What is the correct response now?

HYPOTHALAMUS

Body, please get ready for stress by increasing heart rate and tensing muscles.

MEMORY

This feeling matches up with "stress". Here I will show you some other memories that also include this feeling of stress.

AMYGDALA (EMOTIONS)

Look at these stressful memories. THIS was the feeling associated with those memories.

How do I use NLP Loop Break?

Have you ever heard anyone say "count to ten before you reply in anger"? This is a form of NLP Loop Break at work. Simply put, you need to start up your frontal cortex to moderate your behaviour. This can be done by consciously force-starting a different emotion or bodily response. In a situation of stress, this can be done by counting to ten, or even better, having a pre-prepared "comfort thought" to remind yourself it's not really a big deal. For example, you might have a good weekend coming up, or you might have a nice wife or pet dog or anything that is a comfort. Once you have your comfort thought, a further good response is to be able to start laughing "at the situation" even jeering it for not being able to spoil your life. This makes you more powerful than the stressful situation.

An example of Loop Break to break a stressful situation

BODY

Heart rate raised. Muscles Tensed. What is the correct response now?

MEMORY

This feeling matches up with "stress". Here I will show you some other memories that also include this feeling of stress. I also remember that I don't like stress.

CONSCIOUS MIND

I don't want to be stressed. I am going to LOOP BREAK this sucker.

YOUR VOICE BOX

"One. Two. Three. I am comforted by the thought that this situation, no matter how unpleasant, does not have the power to take away the awesome holiday to Brazil I'm going to have next month!"

AMYGDALA (EMOTIONS)

That holiday will be a lot of fun. I feel welcome anticipation and excitement. THIS is an example of excitement.

CONSCIOUS MIND

Woo hoo. Stress averted. I laugh at this situation and it's pathetic inability to make me angry or stressed! Haha!

fusion of shamanic practice, eastern philosophy, mysticism, quantum physics and transpersonal psychology – on a dance floor.

....For those tempted by the allure of what lays beyond the statistically definable, perhaps 5Rhythms is more your thing. Gabriel Roth’s approach to wellness ripples out from a fusion of shamanic practice, eastern philosophy, mysticism, quantum physics and transpersonal psychology – on a dance floor. Quite an experience for the newbie, 5Rhythms is a free-style beat-led class. Fundamental to the practice is the belief that moving the body releases emotions, frees the mind and allows the dancer to connect with their soul – or at least shake off some weighty self-consciousness....

Solar Plexus Chakra Blocked

Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra is related to the will, personal power, strength and individuality. It is the meeting point of the higher and lower selves and therefore the juncture of compromise and decision. It is also the main gateway between the 9 physical dimensions and is the center of astral influence. It is the main opening into the astral realms around the planet and the easiest way out of the body for Astral Travel. Often you will see someone in a dispute or some other social situation cross there arms in a subconscious effort to block the receptivity of astral influences from another person or the environment. If the Solar Plexus is blocked the ego and personal power of the individual is likely to be lacking in confidence, worried about what others think and possibly depressed. They usually lack will power and have trouble making things happen in the world. Decisions will be difficult and they may just float through life with no real orientation or direction. They will likely take on negative energy from other people and the environment and may have trouble differentiating between their emotions and the emotions of others.

All of these problems are associated with a lack of will which is this chakra's main attribute. If you have the creativity from the Sex and Throat Chakras but lack will power from the solar plexus nothing will be achieved. The solar plexus becomes blocked when as a child we receive little encouragement, much negative feedback and cannot have what we want. When a child feels powerless and controlled the solar plexus will become blocked by frustration and lack of personal power. On the flip side being spoiled and getting everything you want as a child will close the solar plexus due to lack of use.

If in balance the solar plexus is a gateway to the powers of will from both the higher self and the lower self and will lead to high self respect, a strong sense of personal power, a cheerful positive attitude, outgoing personality and an enjoyment of challenge. In the physical body the Solar Plexus Chakra relates to the stomach, liver, gall bladder, spleen, pancreas, and small intestine.

Excellent Kabir Quotes

http://www.iwise.com/Kabir

Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false

How to intend? (The intention Experiment)

Intention – requires technique and practice

Anyone can learn to do effective intention in their life, but it does require some learned techniques.

To find out how to ‘do intention’, Lynne McTaggart interviewed many intention masters – Qigong masters, Buddhist monks, master healers – as well as scientists.

She extrapolated this programme from the common practices of all these diverse healers, plus scientific evidence describing circumstances that created the most positive results in mind-over-matter laboratory experiences.

From this research she offers a blueprint for using intention effectively in your own life through a program she calls Powering Up.

Visualize yourself younger

We all live in an age that belongs to the young at heart. Life that is becoming extremely fast, day to day, also asks us to remain physically young. Young at heart, young in mind and young in your body has become the principle of survival.

Yet our age increases with every day of our life. The fast pace of the world around us in fact makes us age faster. But, it is important to retain our youthful vigor, for it is only with young passion and energy that we can work towards success, enjoy a peaceful, healthy life, indulge ourselves in the pleasure of sex, and keep ourselves happy.

How to remain young forever? How to defy your age? How to retain the youthful joy? How to remain passionate and energetic.

Here I outline six steps to keep you young forever - steps, if you follow regularly will ensure you remain young at heart, young in mind, and young in your body.

Step One: Imagine yourself leading a life that is youthful and vigorous. Picture yourself in various situations that the young indulge in. It can be a wild night in the disco, a wild game of football, romancing with the person you love - it can be anything. Just concentrate yourself in youthful action.

Step Two: The picture you create for yourself should produce the specific effects that you have in your mind. That is, if you think you are becoming old and falling behind times, then enjoy a dance in the disco, that keeps you up with time with youthfulness. If you are old and wrinkled and want to look young, picture yourself with smooth, supple, wrinkle-free skin.

Step Three: Picture yourself as extremely alert, athletic and youthful. Imagine yourself in movements that you performed as freely as when you were a teenager.

This is a very important visual. Practice it at least twice a week for an indefinite period. Your aim is to preserve your body by using the power of creative visualization. Thus, this is a lifetime program aimed to evoke your youthful vigour always, anytime, anywhere

Step Four: If you are suffering from any old-age disease, incorporate the visuals from How to lead a healthy life, with the steps outlined here. You will see a marked improvement in your health.

Step Five: Bring together all your senses - Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste and Touch. Direct your mind to improve each of them. Imagine yourself pictures of yourself where you hear more, taste better, see well, smell proper and become sensual to touch.

Practice them at least once every two days. You will see your awareness is functioning better than all who are of your age.

Step Six: Visualize yourself in a sea of endless energy. The water is warm and comfortable. The sky is bright and sunny. Swim through the refreshing water. Enjoy the swim. Stretch your legs; push through the water, as the energy envelops you.

Come out of the water and dry yourself with a large, soft towel. You are refreshingly young now. You are filled to the brim with energy. You also feel that the energy in you has changed your body and bones. All aches and pain of old age has disappeared.

You are a new man now. You are young, energetic with a passionate vigor in you. You are young in mind, body and spirit. Enjoy your youth.

Happy young days!

Child Subconsciuos...important for me

...Gurdjieff learned his first lessons in hypnosis with these nomadic groups. If the wife and the husband are both going to sell some things in the market, in the village, what to do with the children, the small children? These nomads have used hypnotism for centuries. They will just draw a circle around the child and tell him, "Till we return you cannot get out of this circle."

Now, this has been told for centuries to every child. From the moment he could understand, he has heard it. He is hypnotized by it. The moment it is uttered, the moment he sees the line being drawn around him, he simply relaxes inside: there is no way to get out, he can't get out. Gurdjieff was very puzzled, because he was ten or twelve years old then: And what nonsense is this? And each child in every nomad camp is just surrounded by a line, and that's all.

The father and mother disappear for the whole day to work in the town. By the evening when they come the child is still inside the circle. Gurdjieff started wondering how it happened, why it happened, and soon he was able to figure out that it is just a question of your unconscious accepting the idea. Once your unconscious accepts the idea, then your body and your conscious mind have no power to go against it...

TU Relación… con la Física Cuántica

En los años recientes se han escrito varios
libros sobre física cuántica que explican de
manera científica como el campo cuántico
conforma nuestro universo, este campo es
un TODO inclusive nosotros somos parte
de él. Yo creo que los siguientes puntos
son muy importantes y explican el porqué
nosotros mismos somos creadores de la
realidad física que "aparentemente" es
sólida y que "creemos" no poder cambiar
por mas que lo deseemos.
A) En esencia nuestro universo está hecho de energía y electromagnetismo.
B) Antes se creía que los átomos eran las partículas mas diminutas existentes, pero ahora
se ha descubierto que existen unas partículas AUN MAS PEQUEÑAS QUE EL ATOMO,
éstas se llaman partículas subatómicas y no están hechas de materia, son sólo energía,
es decir que prácticamente no existen en el mundo de lo físico.
C) Los científicos dicen que son tan diminutas que el único medio por el que saben de su
existencia es por el rastro que dejan en los aceleradores de partículas.
D) Esas partículas parecen existir solo cuando son observadas, y solamente cuando se
toma la decisión de ver una partícula la onda de energía invisible se convierte en una
entidad concreta (sólida).
E) La atención dirigida hacia esa energía reconocible como una onda, es lo que crea la
realidad que llamamos partícula o sólido, o mundo físico.
F) Los científicos dicen que el observador es el creador de la partícula o masa física del
universo.
Todo esto significa que el observador,(o sea nosotros) somos quienes creamos algo a
partir de lo invisible (una partícula subatómica), con el simple hecho de OBSERVARLO.
Nosotros también somos un conjunto de átomos moléculas y partículas, tanto atómicas
como subatómicas, por lo tanto no somos sólidos como solemos pensar, nuestro cuerpo
se regenera en su totalidad en un lapso de 7 años, así que en realidad una persona que
tiene 50 años tiene un cuerpo nuevo cada 7 años.
Al ser parte de este campo quántico que funciona a base de energía y
electromagnetismo, nosotros somos una masa ambulante de energía, funcionamos
gracias a ella y somos como un magneto ambulante.
1
Ahora vamos a profundizar un poco mas sobre el tema de la física cuántica o mecánica
cuántica diciendo que es una de las más modernas ramas de la investigación científica
que se desarrolló con el afán de entender la naturaleza de la realidad física.
Esta ciencia ha hecho posible respaldar todas estas teorías de que "Nuestros
pensamientos crean nuestro mundo" ya que describe con precisión matemática cómo se
comportan las partículas que conforman nuestra realidad física.
Esta ciencia nos dice que los electrones se pueden comportar de ambas formas, tanto
como partículas y como ondas de energía invisibles.
Cuando se convierten en ondas, estos "electrones" no se pueden localizar (es como si no
existieran) pero existen como campos de probabilidades.
Cuando se encuentran en el estado de partícula, el campo de probabilidades se colapsa y
¡Se convierte en un objeto sólido!
Los electrones se convierten en materia sólida (o partículas) cuando están siendo
observados. Y cuando se les deja de observar se convierten nuevamente en ondas de
energía invisibles.
En esencia el mundo esta construido por partículas (ellas son los ladrillos de nuestro
universo) Y el observador que tiene poder de convertir a un electrón en partícula sólida o
hacerla desaparecer somos nosotros.
En la película "What the Bleep" se toca el tema de la física cuántica que acabamos de
describir anteriormente y se va un poco mas allá diciendo que es posible crear nuestro día
intencionalmente como nosotros lo queremos que sea.
*****Ahora hazte las siguientes preguntas:*****
¿Que sucedería si los -p r i m e r o s - pensamientos que tenemos al despertar por la
mañana tuvieran el poder de afectar lo que nos suceda durante ese día?
¿Y que sucedería si todos, todos, todos nuestros pensamientos influenciaran nuestro
mundo en su totalidad?
¿Y si esto fuera verdad y tus eres el encargado de crear tu día no te gustaría tomar las
riendas por ti mismo en lugar de dejar que siga haciendo lo que él quiera?
¿Qué sucedería si aprendieras poco a poco a dirigir tu atención/ observación hacia las
partes de tu vida que aun son invisibles y darles vida?
¿No sería bueno entonces que antes de empezar a refunfuñar o maldecir el nuevo día
comenzaras creando tu día de manera intencional para que resulte como tu quieres?
2
En la película "What the Bleep" el Dr. Joe Dispenza describe de una manera sencilla la
forma en la que él crea intencionalmente sus días:
Me levanto por la mañana y conscientemente creo mi día de la manera en que quiero que
pase. Algunas veces.. me cuesta un poco de trabajo relajarme y comenzar a crear mi día
con intención. Entonces durante el día, de la nada, pequeñas cosas suceden que son
inexplicables y de esa manera sé que son el resultado de haber creado mi día con
intención.
Desde un punto de vista espiritual, nosotros estamos pensando que nuestros
pensamientos afectan la realidad y por lo tanto nuestra vida entera. Tengo este pequeño
pacto en el que digo "Estoy tomándome este tiempo para crear mi día" y estoy
__infectando__ al campo cuántico.... ( Sembrando en el campo cuantico ).
Ahora, es un hecho que el observador está observándome todo el tiempo durante el que
estoy creando mi día. (se refiere a nuestro ser interior como el observador, nuestro
espíritu el que dirige la energía creadora) y también digo "Envíame una señal hoy de que
prestaste atención a las cosas que hoy creé"
Envíame estas cosas de una manera en que yo no las espere, para que me sorprenda de
mi habilidad de experimentar esas cosas y muéstramelas de cierta forma que no tenga
duda que provinieron de ti.
Y entonces me dispongo a vivir mi día de manera normal pensando como si fuera un
genio y mientras hago eso, durante algunas partes del día tengo pensamientos que son
sorprendentes y mi piel se eriza, esos pensamientos (o sucesos) provienen de nada
prácticamente.
Esta teoría de que somos nosotros los creadores de nuestra propia vida no es nueva. Ya
se han escrito muchísimos libros sobre el tema del pensamiento positivo y todos ellos nos
recomiendan como primera instancia cambiar nuestra mentalidad de negativa hacia
positiva.
Esos libros también nos cuentan historias de cómo una "nueva mentalidad y actitud
positiva" tuvo el poder enorme de transformar a individuos provenientes de familias muy
humildes en gente sumamente poderosa famosa y rica. Y todo ese gran cambio se dio por
el simple y sencillo hecho de cambiar la forma de pensar de ésos personajes.
Se han hecho estudios exhaustivos como el que realizó Napoleón Hill y que consistió en
entrevistar a 500 de los millonarios mas importantes que vivieron en su tiempo incluyendo
ésta cifra a : Henry Ford, Hermanos Wright, presidente Theodore Roosvelt, Rockefeller,
Graham Bell, Alva Edison, Andrew Carnegie, W. Clement Stone etc.etc. Y el trabajo final
se llamó ... adivina...."PIENSE y hágase rico". Ahora que nos encontramos en pleno siglo
XXI la ciencia está comprobando el hecho de que en efecto “Somos los creadores de
nuestro mundo"
En el video titulado "Como crear tu día", Ramtha nos dice que para nosotros debería ser
muy importante aprender mas sobre la física quántica porque es la única ciencia que está
de nuestro lado en cuanto a nuestras habilidades, es el único nivel del estudio matemático
del mundo subatómico al cual le importa nuestra opinión. Y que el campo cuántico
siempre cumplirá con nuestras expectativas (las expectativas del observador).
3
¿Cuáles son las cosas que dices al despertar por la mañana?
¿Qué es lo primero en que piensas al comenzar tu día?
Lo primero que dices por la mañana inclusive antes de abrir los ojos juega un papel
fundamental en como se va a desarrollar tu día, así que crea tu vida con intención y ten
un magnífico día.
abrazos del alma

The Living Matrix movie

There’s a documentary movie, released in 2009, called “The Living Matrix”. As some other movies in the field before, it is a mix of documentary, interviews and computer graphics. The movie’s focus is what’s called energy or alternative medicine.

The movie interviews a list of notable guests, some of whom appeared in other movies, such as What the Bleep!? and my recently reviewed Something Unknown. The list of guests include:

The movie also includes numerous stories told by people who recovered from difficult diseases using alternative medicine and the power of intention.

The movie presents of picture where the human is body is described not only being controlled by chemicals and DNA but also by our intentions, intra-cellular communication in the form of biophotons and other effects that are on the fringe of science. It does not speak about parapsychology, or psi as "Something Unknown" movie by Renée Scheltema does.

If you are interested in the alternative medicine, especially in finding scientific explanations to some of its possible explanations of effectiveness, I can recommend “The Living Matrix”.
