Dear all, Science is slowly catching up with Billy realizing that self responsibility is indeed the true vehicle of evolution. Neuroscientist Michael Merzenich looks at one of the secrets of our brain's incredible power: its ability to actively re-wire itself. He's researching ways to harness your brain's plasticity to enhance your skills and recover lost function. Sort of like aerobics for the mind. Here is how to rewrite your brain... http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/05/19/How-to-Rewire-Your-Brain.aspx Salome, Zhila, Thank you Billy. | ||

:::*|=|*::: Zhila, Thank you for the excellent reference. The Eight Tips for “Rewiring” Your Brain Naturally in the full article, are some very good suggestions for everyone to follow. Someone asked me once before: How the Pineal could be improved. My response then, was like any other organ or muscle in the body - through the proper exercise, use and meditation. The "Eight Tips" vindicates this, and further expands our knowledge. I would rely less on any MAGNETIC devices, as these would not have specific or expected results. Thank you for bringing our attention to this VERY interesting area of research. The mind can stay "young and active" by applying this knowledge. There are now less reasons for anyone to "feel old." In Peace :::*|=|*::: You say you want an Evolution, well you know, we're all doing what we can. -(Beatles revamped) Rod | ||

Dear Zhila. Your link http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/05/19/How-to-Rewire-Your-Brain.aspx was most valuable .... thankyou  Within the lecture I found the explanation of "noise" as a major enviromental determinant on mental development very valuable. Just as Aristotle is an antidote to Plato music which either by design or accident contains certain harmonic resonance can be used as part of the gradual "rewiring" or "relearning" process. I dose up almost daily on a cocktail of remedial sound discovering by ongoing testing that the selection of music used is the most critical factor. In conjunction with the Luscher test as is being discussed by Indi & Mohammad in other threads I believe a clinical study could be undertaken in say an orphanage or psychiatric hospital where in a specially set aside room could be played selected music for several hours a day which might act as an "attractant" and the persons drawn towards this therapy area could be noted, observed then periodically tested to ascertain if there is any affect or improvement to their outlook or overall state compared to those not attracted. Cheers. | ||

I posted a question to Billy regarding 'thoughts' how and where they are formed. Yesterday, i had my own thought about my Q. this is just my guess and probably wrong but here it is: could it be that our thoughts are created from universal Algorithms and travel along EMW throughout the universe and attract humans whose vibrations are similar to those waves? but, how would those algorithms be created in the universal consciousness? I recall that Asket explained to Billy that everything in Creation is calculated with the numbers 1, 3, 12 and 7x7 along with algorithmic calculations. Any thoughts on my hypothesis? thanks. | ||

***** Hi Bianca, Interesting hypothesis. It could also be asked: "Which is the Thinker, and which is the Thought?" There is some problem I see here with the hypothesis, concerning Free-Will. Let's say a particular and novel problem comes before one of us. Then, by our own logic, we choose between several alternatives for the better solution from among many possibilities. The hypothesis suggests that all possible solutions pre-exist to all possible problems. Then, to what purpose is Evolution? If all possible solutions pre-exist, Creation would have no need to send itself along an infinite number of paths to find them all. Creation would only need to apply the best of each and every solution to every possible problem. My opinion is that the actions of all Spiritforms, within all Lifeforms in the Universe, create an INFINITUDE of Chaotic Interactions - problems for which an Infinitude of solutions would need to pre-exist. This is where Free-Will comes into play. Creation has endowed the Spirit of every Human Spirit with It's own Creative Powers and abilities, which can only be developed through the Right Application of Free-Will. The problems which arise from Chaotic Interactions will "spark" the creative process, which results in a new "Gestalt," a lesson learned, another novel solution, another small step forward in Evolution. IMO, The Thinker and the Thought are one and the same. Peace ***** You say you want an Evolution, well you know, we're all doing what we can. -(Beatles revamped) Rod | ||
Bianca Member Post Number: 23 Registered: 03-2009 |
Rod, I can understand your explanation. The 'thinker' has a Free Will to choose his thoughts for good or the bad, but...does the thought have a free will to choose the thinker? I think there must be some attraction from the thinker towards the thought? The thinker has a subconsciousness that is either in harmony with its consciousness or not, but does the thought also have a subconsciousness? I don't think so, so what is a Thought? One is positive one is negative and that's why they attract each other to create harmony with a Free will. Still...where does the thought originate from? | ||

Hi Bianca Here are some additional ‘thoughts’ about the origin and purpose of thoughts, which I hope you find useful and it represents my understanding of material to be found in Macht der Gedanken (Power of Thoughts) by Billy. Thoughts occur within the domain of consciousness. Thoughts originate not only from internal stimulations, but they form in the consciousness also by exterior perception and the external world of circumstance which had their origin from the internal world of thoughts. The direction of thought is determined by the consciousness, animated by emotions, intuitions, inspirations and ideas. So the consciousness forms the most internal thoughts which develops by its strength and are mutually sustaining. Every thought which is stamped in the consciousness or enters in and settles there, develops itself in power. And once a thought continues and reproduces itself, it creates a corresponding action or quality from it sooner or later. Every thought generates its own results of opportunities, wishes, autosuggestions and chances etc., namely according to their kind; whether the thoughts bring consequently good and healthy results or whether they bring consequently nasty and bad results. The results are simply valued as negative or positive. (p.20) Thus it can be said that everything arises from the power of thoughts which unfold from an idea or from a perception or from otherwise any form of exterior stimulus, quite like a plant which finds origin in the seminal grain. Symbolically, the ideas, perceptions and other forms are looked at as the seeds of the human thoughts that could never become reality without the insemination. If they are first stimulated, however, and are nurtured, then they develop independent life, exactly like the plants; and exactly like this they create in themselves autonomous strength and power by which all internal and external will is formed. And this is true of each and everything, so therefore equally to all deeds and actions and otherwise all the conditions and circumstances of life. And this law is nothing else than the fact of the power of thoughts by which all energy with intelligence is escorted and which the thoughts themselves form so that they generate fertile results. Thoughts are formed by energy and intelligence and are assisted by the strength and power of the individual person’s will. If everything is used according to the creative laws in neutral-positive-well-balanced fashion, the person develops into a deliberate ruler of them: orderly and beneficiary. The person can become the deliberate master of their thoughts and their power or they can be the source of their ruin. There is an old creative law that power and strength are co-ordinated with thoughts, so that they are creative and do not lose themselves in the emptiness of futility. Thoughts are always paired with power and strength, because only then is progress guaranteed. Thoughts without strength and power, are like a body without vitality, how a fire without warmth or how a word without sense. (p. 8 & 9) The law of universal creation is a law of cause and effect and as such applies to all creative law areas. And this law says that everybody must bring animated thought as a cause and its certain effect, with power and strength. The consciousness is the armory of the thoughts which are realised powerfully. (p.11) The human being is an independent universal-creative force together with the actual universal-inventive strength within, in the form of the power of thoughts and the resultant effect it manifests. (p.19) Das Bewusstsein muss durch stetiges Denken geschult werden, damit die Persönlichkeit des Menschen sich weiter entwickeln kann, denn Bewusstsein und Persönlichkeit sind zwei identische Faktoren. The consciousness must be trained by steady thinking, so that the personality of the person can develop, because a consciousness and personality are two identical factors. Jeder Mensch gestaltet durch ureigenste Denkarbeit seine Persönlichkeit selbst, die ja identisch ist mit dem Bewusstsein. Every person forms by their very own mental effort their personality themselves which is identical with the consciousness. (p. 4 & 5) Regards Bob | ||

Hi Bob, Much appreciate your explanation, it makes sense now. Much 'food for thought'. If only I knew German...? But progress is slow. | ||

***** Hello Bianca, [ "...does the thought have a free will to choose the thinker?" ] This, again, is answered when you keep in mind The Thinker and the Thought are one and the same. Thoughts, in the action of Thinking, are internal symbols to allow our interaction with the material world, symbols which represent the perceptions of conscious awareness, symbols which arise from deeper levels of non-symbolic levels of our total being, including the Unconscious, the Subconscious, the Emotional states, the Intuition, and those "whisperings" from our Spiritual connection with Creation. The specific forms of thoughts, their symbols, and how they are understood in the conscious mind will not be the same form/symbol-set from one person to the next. Most thinking takes the form of an internal dialogue. The "voice" being "heard" is the conscious mind interpreting an underlying processing of symbols relating to the current level or objective of the awareness. The "language" of the dialogue will vary according to the thinkers native language. There is also a Graphical form of thinking, wherein whole pictures will form like an internal movie. The Graphical process lends itself more to those with some enhanced psychic/telepathic abilities. The graphical form is very useful in the creative processes. As is said: the picture is worth a thousand words, the "visual" thought process contains more concise data than the "Verbal" process. Dreams are in the Visual realm of the thought process, thus this mode is available to everyone, but few use it in their conscious state of awareness. To Focus the thought process towards any particular objective, is to engage more levels of the mind (subconscious, intuition, even feelings/emotions) with the conscious Intent. The Feelings and Emotions give more power to the Intent of thoughts. Here are some interesting ideas in this Quote: "The self, the I, is recognized in every act of intelligence as the subject to which that act belongs. It is I that perceive, I that imagine, I that remember, I that attend, I that compare, I that feel, I that will, I that am conscious." --- Sir W. Hamilton. Bianca, I will say that you have opened a very interesting dialogue in respect to Thinking and Thoughts. Keep those thoughts a'commin'. A good discourse. In Peace ...

greetings, in our country, we were falsely thought early on that to even think evil is enough to commit sin. this is indeed blatantly false knowing now that thought occurs, originate and forms from the consciousness. IMO logic tells me, you would not be able to know light if you have not seen darkness or know what is right if you have not even thought of what is wrong, or vice versa, otherwise, and again, IMO you could not attain wisdom. corollary to the above discussion is the relevance of "feelings" and ultimately "emotions" (reactions). how interesting it could be to discuss it as well. similarly, oh how we wish to have the Spirit Lessons available in English soonest.

I would like to add Billy's wisest words: "Life is a struggle, a repetitive dispute within one's own self. And yet, the Self of man is a precious Pearl, a treasure which he carries within himself, hidden in his inner most part is the "Philosopher's Stone". | ||
J_rod7 Member Post Number: 958 Registered: 10-2007 |
***** Hi Jun, Your conclusions are very clear, and correspond to the Truth. There must be polarity in all things, or no progress nor Evolution would be possible. Absolutely agree that the Spiritual Teachings should be available in every language on Earth.

Smukhuti Member Post Number: 86 Registered: 06-2009 |
I think it’s a right time and place to share this: I attended a training on team-building & leadership last year - you know the kind of training on soft skill that gives a good opportunity to take paid naps in the office. Only this time the trainer was good. He asked us one point of time – “what is the best contributing quality that makes a good team player who is loved and respected by everyone including subordinates, supervisors and peers?” We gave a variety of answers including like "such species do not exists so there’s no question of the one important quality". What? After sometime the trainer came up with his answer - “self-control”. We were astounded. Why? He further explained to us - "control yourself to control others." Weird concept! We went up in protest since what the trainer was suggesting that we become meek characters and endure all wrong-doings and incorrect approach of fellow team members (or for that matter any human being) without any protest. The trainer explained it is not so. How? (original wordings of the trainer changed by my understanding reproduced as below)
These concept since then have greatly affected me and now it seems to show synchronicity with a lot of what I learn from the Meier material. Salome | ||
Ramirez Member Post Number: 323 Registered: 06-2008 |
Hi Smukhuti What you quote as the desirable list of self controls are exactly the opposite of being a good team player in the accepted materialistic, political, religious, corporate sense .... these groups are not looking for or appreciate those who are able to become real individuals and think for themselves. A team of subservient yes people seems to be the goal throughout such organizations. Team Building .... what I've regularly observed regarding this so called team building is the desire to control others by those who have very limited control over their own self serving though processes. Just like the phrases "we had to destroy it to save it" or "peace through war" Cheers. | ||
Smukhuti Member Post Number: 88 Registered: 06-2009 |
Hi Ramirez, Sadly, thats the truth for the majority of the present day corporate world. But these guides can still be somewhat successful for example when one is an entrepreneur or has sufficient freedom of decision. At the end of the day one has the free will to choose a between turning away from the right way of conduct and achieve material growth in this lifetime versus spiritual growth and wisdom accumulated from this lifetime.

Contact Report 184 66. In addition, if we still look at the relations between us and the Earth people, then it follows that also in reference to learning and the collecting of experience, the Earth person severely disadvantages himself because out of what is possible for him to learn during about 70 years of life, he only learns an average of 11.6%, which means that he simply ignores 88.4%, overlooks this, or consciously resists it. 67. But this has the effect that an Earth person at the age of 70 years only has a volume of evolutionary progress and an actual knowledge of a child who is a little more than 7 years old. Thats around the age when we start school and so thats when we stop learning? No. This is comparing us to an ET 7 year old. Correct? Tien | ||
Edward Member Post Number: 1588 Registered: 05-2002 |
Hi Tien.... Billy and the Plejarans did once mention, that the Majority of Earth humans have a Consciousness of one that is of Medieval times, as far as I can remember! This should give you a hint? And, thus, those who still practice some sort of Cult Religion(or similarities), would in most cases fit the above mentioned, profile.... Edward. | ||
Tobi Member Post Number: 13 Registered: 06-2009 |
Smukhuti i think that self-control is a word for the illusion that most people have controlling them self or their children, i think self -knowledge knowing oneself is a better way to understand that you cant learn control from an outside word or sytem of management,but knowing oneself is a better way of preventing so called control and understand freedom as a natural way of being and understanding, while control is isolation and material focus.One should master oneself and not cercumstanses and let others free to develop harmony in there behavior out of free will and compassion. Just a thought being a bit allergick for managers and there pre new age wisdumb. hi hi. Salome Tobi | ||
Tobi Member Post Number: 14 Registered: 06-2009 |
Smukhuti I made a mistake i ment post new age. I was working in healthcare for born disabled people and a manager there tried to classify people with the so called enneagram witch is of caurse stolen from gurdjeff and adopted in semi occult management controlling people making them believe utter noncense. Ha ha. Institutes are a lot of times society within society with the same illnesses. Thats my thought(and experience). Salome Tobi | ||

Where does Billy write about positive thinking in the sense of creating a positive direction for life or even influencing a positive outcome of a situation. Which seems to be what he's saying. Its almost like making a wish over & over. Any thoughts? My Website |
