Powerful mind augmentation is here! You no longer need to wait for hardware! This is because researchers are uncovering largely untapped mental powers. Neuro-scientist, Professor Allan Snider the Director of the Center of the Mind says, “Everybody has an inner genius. It’s the educational system and our limiting beliefs that prevent us from tapping into our inner genius.”
The inner genius resides in the hidden brain. We use the term hidden brain to encompass the subconscious mind, emotional intelligence, instinctual intelligence, photographic memory and the intelligence that controls our bodily functions.
The human brain alone contains billions of neurons and these neurons interconnect with hundreds and thousands of other neurons. Most of the processing takes place in these inter-neural connections, resulting in over a trillion tiny processors. Working in parallel they can process billions of bits of information per second. With 99.9% of this computation outside of our conscious awareness, IQ 1000+ may be an understatement.
a. Glimpses of the Hidden Brain
On a crisp day in Aspin Colorado, my girlfriend and I watched a downhill ski racer descend an incredibly steep and dangerous slope, traveling 80 to 90 miles per hour. After the race, I said to her, “Wow! You're an incredible skier!”
She shook her head in negation, and said, “No, my skis ski me!”
Confused I asked, “What?”
Smiling she explained, “Well in order to survive I must keep my conscious mind out of the skiing. If I think about what I’m doing I will almost certainly crash. So to stop my thinking, I declare that my skis ski me. You see, coming down the slope, I’m traveling at more than 130 feet a second and in that second the snow can become icy, mushy, then fluffy or even rocky, and there are bumps and dips; boulders and trees all flashing by. I’m receiving vast amounts of information from my eyes, ears, skin and muscles. I can’t possibly think fast enough to take it all in and make decisions. So, I must let go of thinking, and let my skis ski me.”
It is not just skiers that talk funny for we’ve been told of a pianist that says, “the music plays my fingers”.
b. Scientific Breakthroughs
Several Nobel Prize winners have reported the following pattern. For a long time, they have worked on a difficult problem, with little result. Then one day, while doing something else like walking the dog or drinking beer with friends; the complete answer to the problem becomes available in an instant.
c. Photographic Memory
Photographic Memory is often found in children. However, most of them will lose access to this ability as they grow older. It turns out that under hypnosis, people are able to visualize and read their first grade reader without error. Now, from information science we know that visual images require massive amounts of storage. Yet, there is growing evidence that we have stored almost all the pictures, sounds, feelings and smells from our past. Apparently we all have powerful photographic memories but have simply lost the ability to accessing them.
d. Esoteric Powers
In many different cultures throughout the history, there have been stories of people who have magical and/or mystical powers. These people speak of a deep knowing and being one with the universe. Some of these strange powers are enumerated in Joseph Chilton Pearce’s book “Crack in the Cosmic Egg.” We don’t know what is possible but particle physics, with discoveries like quantum entanglement, and Bell’s theorem, do seem to open a door to some very strange powers. Are some of these powers part of our hidden brain?
The advent of brain scanners, electron microscopes, artificial intelligence research, has brought on a flood of books, documenting the awesome powers of our hidden brain. (Google “subconscious mind” for the latest.)
With the exponential growth of knowledge, humanity today needs effective ways to control and use the powers of our hidden brains. This quest has been the focus of the not-for-profit Cosmic Prosperity Crusade (CPC) for the last 14 years.
We place the following tools into the public domain; that together we may create a world that works.
1 First Tool for IQ 1000+ is – Declaration
The first clue that unlocks the hidden brain came to us in two parts. The first came from studies of people suffering from brain damage. When the damage is on the edge of vegetative, the last thing that remains is the compulsion to be right.
The very same compulsion has shown up in people who have the halves of their brain separated. When pictures are shown to one side of their brain; then the other side is questioned, they make up all kinds of answers, in an effort to be right. This compulsion to be right is sometimes seen in old age homes. Also marriage counselors report that the urge to be right, is a common cause of arguments among couples.
The second insight came in an artificial intelligence brain storming session, where it was pointed out that a compulsion to be right would create intelligence. If a cat’s brain has a built in compulsion to be right, then it must learn and remember where it has found mice. Then, it can be right when it sets out to find its next meal. We would then say that it was a smart cat. Even in the most primitive life forms, being right about the world, gives one an evolutionary advantage.
Could it be that our hidden brain is our old brain before our conscious mind evolved? And that the hidden brain is controlled by a compulsion to be right? “Self-fulfilling prophesies” might support this hypothesis.
For example Bill was a bright and hard working accountant, who often said, “I am accident prone.”How could his hidden brain make him right? Yes, at times Bill stubbornly did stupid things. Like the time he was painting his kitchen’s ceiling. He was standing at the very top of his step ladder, ignoring the embossed words, “Danger, do not stand here!” Now, that was not too smart but the thing that was harder to understand was that this was an old step ladder, the kind that does a hula dance when you climb above the second step. Well, he got to be right, as he fell off and broke his left arm. A year and a half later, Bill got to be right once again. When on a dark and stormy night, he drove his Honda into a large oak tree. Sadly this time, he was dead right.
Then, there is Betty. Betty says that all men are assholes. Now, what kind of a man will her hidden brain find for her to make her right? Remember that the hidden brain has an IQ of 1000+; so it can be very clever at making her right. There is another woman who says that her mother ruined her life because she didn’t love her. And boy, is she right, for she has one messed up life.
As we study the power of declaration, we were amazed to learn that people who declare a belief in Voodoo can be killed when a Voodoo curse is cast on them. Autopsies find no reason for their deaths. And, the Voodoo curses do not work on non-believers. So maybe the compulsion to be right is so strong that it can even kill one.
The good news is that the same power can be used to create success. When we examined very successful people, be they performers, business people or scientists; many of these people were described as being arrogant. After talking to them, it became clear why. These people make bold and daring declarations. One woman who when taking over a money losing business said, “I’ll turn this business around, and next year, we’ll make at least 3 Million dollars in profits.” And, her hidden brain made her right! Now, a less arrogant person would have said something like this, “I’m going to try to turn this business around and I hope we make money next year.” There is nothing the hidden brain needs to do in this case. For no matter what happens, one did “try” so one is right, no need to succeed. Try is a most dangerous word that should be banned from one’s vocabulary.
Speaking of the power of arrogance, check out Walter Isaacson’s Biography of Steve Jobs. Starting from nothing, Steve jobs created one of the most valuable companies on planet earth.. Steve Jobs was a school dropout and neither an engineer or computer programmer. Read the book and see for yourself what if any role his arrogance played.
a. Using Declaration
The first step is to refute any negative statements, beliefs or events from the past. One of our volunteers, who became pregnant at 13, was told that she had ruined her life. Now she declares, “Having a baby at 13, may not work for some girls but for me, it was a wonderful and empowering experience that continues to make me stronger and more effective.” With that declaration her hidden brain will work to make her more effective, rather than ruining her life.
Another useful general declaration, “My life has been perfect for it has gotten me here, where I have unlimited opportunities for happiness and success.”
Linda brought us yet another declaration when she came bursting into our office shouting, “I’ve had it! I’ve been going around saying that I am a Pisces. And according to my astrologer and the Wikipedia, Pisces are of a weak and vacillating disposition, and are well-meaning but devoid of energy. So, every time I say I’m a Pisces, my hidden brain sets to work, making me right; making me weak, vacillating, well-meaning and devoid of energy. Fuck that shit!
“I now declare that astrology only demonstrates the power of declaration. I now choose to shape my own life, with my own declarations. I declare myself to be a transhuman. Transhumans are free thinking, courageous doers who develop and exploit the frontiers of human knowledge. They create great wealth for themselves and the world. And the lives of transhumans are full of friends, love and happiness. Today, they are becoming the masters of the universe.”
We all could see the power of saying, “I’m a transhuman.” For in only four seconds, we have set the trillions of tinny computers in our hidden brains to work 24/7, to make us smarter and more successful! Some of us have memorized that transhuman definition, I have framed it and hung it on my wall.
Tom said, “I’m pretty skeptical person. The compulsion to be right is a hypothesis, not a scientific fact. Yes, I do see many pieces of collaborating evidence yet I must remain skeptical and await rigorous scientific tests. Yet should I make the transhuman declaration? Well, to answer that question, I asked myself, “Who am I?” I wrote a list and was surprised at the number of negative declarations that showed up. So, I trashed it. Then, I declared myself to be a Transhuman. If the hypophysis is correct, declaring myself to be a transhuman will create myself to be the positive and effective person that I wish to be. If the hypothesis proves to be false, well I’ve wasted four seconds. So I declare myself to be a Transhuman.
Declarations when made in front of others are more powerful than making them in the closet. Several years ago, one of the big TV networks interviewed some Olympic hopefuls. One downhill ski racer said, “I will win the gold medal in the downhill.” Now, that took a lot of courage for he was not among the top contenders. In another interview, a figure skater who ranked as one of the top three contenders said, “I’m going to really try for the Gold;” and she did really try. So, she was right even though she didn’t win the gold. On the other hand, the downhill ski racer surprised many when he won the gold!
You do not need to go on TV, all you need is a few Transhuman friends who understand and support you when you make bold and daring declarations. One wonders, when being arrogant is so powerful; why it has become a social no, no? Any ideas?
3. Second Tool for IQ 1000+ is Knowing
What if anything does the Aha, or the Eureka experience, the downhill ski racer, the enlightened being, moments of clarity, and intuition, all have in common?
We assert that the common element is the quieting of the conscious mind. When this happens, the power of our hidden brain surfaces. We call this power ‘knowing’, to distinguish it from the linear ‘thinking’ of the conscious mind.
For more than 2000 years, people have been seeking the key to ‘knowing.’ They’ve called the state of ‘knowing’, enlightenment, selflessness, nirvana, and uptime, etc. The three most recognized pathways to ‘knowing’ are: pain, sex and meditation.
Pain: St John of the Cross is a classic example for this pathway. He endured extreme torture from his fellow monks because of his non conforming thoughts, and the result was his enlightenment.
Pain, need not be physical. There are those whose lives have become so emotionally painful; that they are near suicide. In the opening of his book entitled The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle tells of his painful existence that brought about his enlightenment.
Sex: The Tantric Religion promotes the sex pathway. After thousands of hours spent on religious teachings and the practice of various sexual techniques, they’ve found that an ultra intense sexual orgasms “blows” the conscious mind, opening one to ‘knowing.’
Meditation: There are many books and documents that have described this pathway. The down side is that this pathway requires many thousands of hours of highly disciplined practice.
Our goal is to open the power of the hidden brain for millions of people. To succeed, we clearly needed a simpler, faster pathway. So, our volunteers spent thousands of dollars on books, videos, and classes, seminars and workshops. One enthusiastic volunteer spent seven years traveling the world, looking for answers. Then after years of failure, an unexpected breakthrough came from Hollywood, of all places.
Kathy and Linda, two students from the University of California decided to take an advanced Method Acting workshop in Hollywood. What they saw from the acting workshop was that people who were filled with feelings of joy and happiness were much more attractive. After much practice, they became so skilled at creating intense joy that no matter what was happening in their lives they could always choose and create feelings of intense joy.
They found that in addition to becoming more attractive, people who master the creation of extreme joy (x-joy) also experience the quieting of their mind chatter. It turns out that much of our mind chatter is about finding happiness. So if one at will can create an over abundance of happiness, then most of the mind chatter drops away.
a. Learning X-Joy
Here is a transcript of Ashley’s X-Joy training.
Lee: “Sit down Ashley and make yourself comfortable. Having mastery of this exercise will enable you to create the feelings of joy anytime you choose to. Feelings are stored in our body as muscle tension. In our face alone, we have thousands of muscles. Many of them are only used for our feelings. Smiling for example isn’t needed for eating, or anything else except emotional expression. Now, the reason we can distinguish a fake smile from a real one is that fake smiles don’t activate all of the muscles that real smiles do.”
“Muscles are activated by tinny electrical signals from our nerves. Now some people who have had a stroke find their facial muscles paralyzed and so they are unable to smile. If one electrically stimulates their smiling muscles these people report feeling happy.”
“We’re not going to use wires, but stimulus-response conditioning. Stimulus-response conditioning is the most basic and well studied learning mechanism found in animals of all levels of complexity. Probably over rated by the behaviorists, and ignored by many others.
“For example some people, who’ve been in a traffic accident, feel fear when they hear squealing car tires even if the sound is coming from the TV.” The sound is a stimulus, that causes the set of muscles, that signal fear to automatically tighten, creating a feeling of fear.”
Ashley: “Oh, well I see why the behaviorists say that we’re just stimulus-response machines,”
Lee: “Yes, that’s true for rats and maybe even some behaviorists, but the irony is that the stimulus-response mechanism can also set you free. In fact because it operates automatically, below the level of conscious thought it’s perfect.”
“The stimulus is often called an anchor for it ties one too the response. One can use almost anything as an anchor; most of us have chosen the rubbing of our index finger and thumb together as the joy anchor. This is a convenient and unobtrusive anchor. Is this anchor okay with you?”
Ashley: “Sure!”
Lee: “Okay. Now, the first step is to relax, take a deep breath and let it out. Notice if there is any tightness anywhere in your body. If there is any, then let it be there, there is no need to fight it. Once you have chosen it to be there, you can easily let it fade away. Yes, okay, are you relaxed and feeling emotionally neutral?”
Ashley: “Yes.”
Lee: “Okay. The next step is for both of us to move together into feelings of joy. To get started, recall a time when you felt joyful and happy. It can be anything from your life and if you can’t think of anything, then make up something that would make you very happy. Yes, that’s good! I can see a smile forming. Okay, now I want you to examine the feelings you have, notice what muscles have tightened.”
“Now, the next step is to allow the feelings of joy and happiness to expand and become more intense. Yes, that’s it. It looks like you’re becoming happier. The same thing is happening to me, my feelings of happiness have spread up around my eyes and unto my forehead.”
“Yes, allow the feelings to grow even more. Allow them to move, maybe into ecstasy. Yes. You are doing it all right. And I am moving with you. I now feel joy on my scalp and spreading back onto my neck and shoulders. Yes keep allowing the feelings to spread and grow more and more. Wow! This is great. Ok, now, start building an anchor to these feelings of joy by rubbing your index and thumb together. Okay, great. Now, relax and let go of these joy feelings and come back to neutral. Take a deep breath and relax. Wonderful! So how was that?”
Ashley: “Wow! It was amazing, can we do it again?”
Lee: “Sure, this time we’ll start by firing the joy anchor. After you have done this several times, the anchor will start you into joy without needing to remember past happy events. So let’s start. Rub your index finger and thumb together. Yes, great! I see its working for there’s your smile starting.”
“Now, let’s grow the joy. And grow it some more! Yes, allow it to become more intense. Watch it as it spreads upward around your eyes. Great! Yes, keep allowing the feelings to spread and grow more and more intense. Keep on watching and allowing joy feelings to grow. Observe it as it spreads upward onto your forehead and then onto your scalp. That’s it! Now, reinforce the anchor by rubbing your finger and thumb. Each time you do this exercise, the anchor grows more powerful. Okay great! Now, let’s relax and let go of these feelings and comeback down. Take a deep breath and relax. Wonderful! So how was that?”
Ashley: (Still smiling and giggling) “Is it really this simple?”
Lee: “Yes, it is so easy that I practice whenever I have some wasted time like if I’m standing in line in the grocery store or bank. I keep practicing because I want greater access to my hidden brain. But I also notice that the cashiers are more helpful and friendly, if I’m feeling joy, rather than in boredom.”
Ashley: “So you can practice it alone? It seems to be easier when we were doing it together. Like my joy could feed off of your joy, it’s kind of contagious.”
Lee: “Yes, one can do it alone, but you are right! It’s easier, faster and more fun, to do it with others. In fact, doing it with others can be so intense that some of us have taken to calling the experience, “joy orgies.” There is a funny story about five people who were doing a joy orgy in the mall. They were laughing and giggling so much that two policemen (illegally) searched them for drugs, because these policemen believe that no one could be so into joy without drugs. And yes, no drugs were found. But speaking of drugs, one of my friends tells of a time when she scored some high quality cocaine and wanting to go on a super trip. She fired her joy anchor and moved into intense joy. Then, she snorted the coke and damn; if she didn’t come down to the normal coke high.”
Ashley: “Is joy the only feeling you anchor?”
Lee: “No. Joy is only the first one because it is so easy. Once you learn to create anchors there are three other feelings we find that contribute to IQ 1000+; they are excitement, love, and alpha. If you use the rubbing of the middle finger for excitement, the ring finger for love, and the little finger for alpha, then, you can fire all four feelings at the same time by sliding your thumb over the tips of your fingers.”
Ashley: “I understand excitement and love, but what’s Alpha?”
Lee: “Scientists, studying social animals, noted that there is almost always a top animal which they call the alpha male or female. These animals are in fact generally easy to recognize. Depending on the species, their hair or feathers might be longer or have a different color, their size is larger, they are healthier, they live longer and they had more offspring.”
“When Scientists started experimenting, they would remove the alpha animal, and then using glue, paint or other trickery, promote an animal from the bottom of the pecking order into the alpha position. An interesting thing happened as the subject animal became established in the alpha position, it grew bigger, stronger and its hair or feathers grew longer or changed color. Such that, over time, the artificial aids of glue and paint were not needed anymore. So did the feelings of being alpha like. Did feelings of happiness cause a hormonal change in these animals?”
We don’t know for sure, but maybe, when some of us started imagining that we were the king or queen of the world, and then growing and anchoring that feeling, in the same way one does joy. The result of X-Alpha has been especially noticeable among people who were held back by their timidity or bashfulness. They became more self-confident, stood taller, moved with more authority and in general became more successful. All of this came from simply imagining and anchoring the feeling of being the world’s grand and awesome king or queen.”
Ashley: “It sounds like I can use wasted time to create a miraculous life. But I hate to ask, is there a downside to creating these feelings?”
Lee: “I will let Tom, our resident skeptic speak to that question.”
Tom: “X-joy may be the most effective pathway to IQ 1000+ but there are costs, at least for me. With practice, I could create feelings of joy most of the time. The exception was with my girlfriend. Whenever she did something like being 20 minutes late home from work; I would go into a dark moody funk. This might last for a day, or two. I would say, “How could you not call me and tell me that you’re running late? Don’t you care about my feelings?” Misery was my habitual responses to anything that I didn’t like.”
Over time, it became obvious that I was choosing to create feelings of misery in order to control my girlfriend. In a moment of clarity, I realized that it was stupid to live in misery when I could be living in joy. So, I told her that she could just ignore my bad moods, for I was just trying to control her. This made her really angry as I had often made her feel guilty. But telling her was not the end; for this was my habitual way of behaving. And so after a few days, when she forgot my birthday, I again created feelings of depression and misery. But to my consternation, she just looked at my long, miserable face and suddenly broke out into laughter. While laughing she asked me, “Have you created enough misery, or do you need some help in creating more?”
“Well, that made me realize that I could no longer use misery to control her. Once it stopped being effective, I stopped creating misery. Now, whenever she comes home late, I create joy and our life together works much better. But, there were still problems for in a dependent love relationship, it turns out that misery plays an important role. Three months later, she flew home to spend two weeks with her family. When she returned, she asked me, “Did you miss me?” She expected me to tell her how I was so miserable without her. But when, I said, “Oh no, it was wonderful. I had two weeks of great joy while you were gone!”
“This upset her, for one expects to have the power to make ones lover miserable, and so we got into a fight, with her accusing me of not caring. This is kind of warped when the ability to make ones lover miserable, becomes a test of love.”
“The good news is that, as both of us have now mastered X-Joy, then powerful acceptance and “true love” has come to us, effortlessly! I have stopped controlling and manipulating her. I have a new kind of freedom, as a result of x-joy, I no longer feel the need to control and enslave her.”
Ashley: “Well, I don’t think giving up the control and manipulation of others is a bad thing. Do you have any other warnings?”
Lee: “Well, the universe may test you, like it did me. My ex-girlfriend and I were taking a seminar. As the seminar ended, she came up to me and told me how happy she was, having met this really wonderful guy. She said that the guy was waiting for her in the parking lot, and she wanted me to meet him. With her glowing testimony, I assumed that this guy was better looking and more successful than me. At that time, this idea was okay; because I was in joy and glad that she was happy.”
“When I was introduced to the boyfriend however, there was a painful knot that formed in my stomach. It felt like someone had hit me. What I saw was the biggest slob and loser, I have ever met. Was I really worse than him? God help me!”
“Well, it took me at least 30 seconds to let go of the upset feelings, I then opted to create joy, joy and joy. The feelings of joy came. Then, I smiled at him and shook his hand. And for the next 20 minutes, we talked and joked together until my ex-girlfriend pulled him away.”
“At that point, I was in great joy because I knew I was free. I could now move quickly into joy, no matter what. Ever since that joy victory, I have been free from others controlling my feelings and life.”
“Okay Ashley. The more you practice, the more skills you will develop. At the same time, the faster and higher into joy you can go. Creating a stimulus-response feeling takes practice. I generally tell people that it takes 100 or so times.”
Ashley: “No big deal because practicing is fun. And I see now what is so funny, the behaviorists are stuck, they’re being controlled by others. While we use their stimulus-response mechanism to gain power over our own feelings which sets us free. I’m invincible, people can says mean and nasty things to me, and I’ll just rub my finger and thumb together creating feelings of great joy, and laugh and laugh. For I’m no longer an emotional puppet controlled by others.”
4. Fourth Tool for IQ 1000+ is Self-actualization
Self-actualization is one of the best documented pathways to superior human performance. Our use of the term is based on the work of Abraham Maslow’s text book, Motivation and Personality. Doctor Maslow broke with traditional psychology by seeking out and studying exceptionally healthy people, instead of the sick and crazy people that Sigmund Freud focused on. Professor Maslow found that emotionally healthy people were happier and more effective in their work, deeply moral, democratic and loving.
Maslow and many others who have continued the study of emotionally healthy people assert that most humans have a built in drive to become healthier. This brings hope, for humanity, for if most people were to achieve self-actualization a utopian world might be possible. Yet there are two disturbing facts, first only 2 or 3% of our population reaches self-actualization. And second the drive to fulfill these needs can under some conditions lead to serious and dangerous psychopathology.
Professor Maslow’s studies revealed a ladder of human needs that one must move up, one level at a time. The need levels are: water, food, sex, safety, love, recognition, and finally at the top self-actualization.
One moves up the ladder of needs when one experiences an abundance of that need. Most of us have experienced and abundance of water, so this need moves into the background. We still drink water but we don’t daydream or fantasize about water.
The same with food; most of us who live in prosperous countries have had an abundance of food. And so, we are not stuck dreaming about food. Not true for someone who is raised in extreme poverty where food is anything but abundant. Under these conditions they may spend their entire life with day dreams of a cornucopia of food.
Then comes the sex need. Here, it appears that many people mostly males, have not found a sufficient abundance of sex for this need to move into the background. The billions of dollars wasted on pornography and the macho male syndrome are symptomatic. In the animal world, reproduction is the central driving force. Today, the importance of the sex need in humans is hotly debated. Some ignore it entirely. While others, like Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene, hold that it is central to the survival of the species.
Next level is safety, being insecure and frightened can be distracting, and debilitating to the point that little else matters. For the most part in prosperous societies there seems to be relatively few people stuck on this need level.
Next is the love and acceptance need. Love bonding, contributes to human reproductive success. Yet in our modern society, many people have been unable to find the abundance of love they need to move up the self-actualization ladder. This is in part because so many males are stuck back down on the sex need level, and they often confuse lust for love. So millions of women are waiting for males to fulfill their sex need sufficiently to move up to the love need level.
The need for recognition is the next need where one must have opportunitie to perform; be it in work or play. Few people seem to be stuck on this level, for in America there are so many pathways to recognition. So the few that have fulfilled their lower needs have little trouble finding ways to gain recognition.
The top of the need ladder is self-actualization. This is the need to fully utilize ones talents and abilities. Today in many advanced countries there are limitless opportunities for the development and utilization of one’s talents and abilities.
a. The Danger
There is nothing harmful or bad in wanting and needing water, food, sex, safety, love, and recognition. A person may be stuck for years on the food need level without developing dangerous psychopathology. But as anyone who reads newspapers or watches the news knows there is a lot of sick psychopathology around. In Chapter eight of his book, Doctor Maslow examines under what conditions the frustration of needs can lead to aggression and violence.
5. Fifth Tool for IQ 1000+ is Fun and Joy
Harvard professors Phil Stone, Ellen Langer and Tal Ben-Shahar, vanguards of a brand new field called Positive Psychology; They are studying, what makes people thrive and excel. The studies show, that I had it backwards. You see, they have found that happiness leads to greater success; rather than, success leading to happiness. And that is not all. They have also learned that feelings of happiness, causes the hormone, Oxytocin to be released into our blood stream. This reduces anxiety and improves concentration and focus. In addition, feelings of happiness and mirth boost endorphins 27 percent HGH, 87 percent.
Other studies have found that happiness reduces disease and increases longevity. All these benefits are better than standing in line being bored. The book, Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor, summarizes the findings of Positive Psychology, highlighting the many the advantages to feeling joy and happiness.
One awesome book that shows what fun loving transhumans are doing today is ABUNDANCE by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler. Humanities’ problems are being turned into opportunities for those who are willing to look beyond the doom and gloom mongers.
- Sixth Tool for IQ 1000+ Female Cluster’s
- The first inkling of its power showed up in 1971 when Lee Coburn the owner of a book printing company took 7 women out of the printing plant and had them interview and select new employees. The results were far better than he or most personnel departments ever achieve. Seven months later Lee took 7 men from the plant and had them interview and select new employees. This turned out to be a big failure far worse than Lee or personnel departments normally achieve.
- Several months later Lee sold out and started traveling the world working as a consultant. He also started volunteering as and english language teacher at a Catholic school for poor children. When one of his students died needlessly of cholera (needlessly because a dollars worth of medicine could have save the child's life) At that point Lee committed the rest of his life to reducing poverty. As he continued to travel the world he gathered ideas and suggestions.
- It became obvious that the only way out of poverty for most poor people was a good job, and studies have shown that entrepreneurs created more new jobs than government and big business combined. This insight kicked of an intense search for the keys to entrepreneurial success. The search lead to Dr. Yunus and the Grameen Bank that had conducted a massive social experiment involving over a million poor mostly uneducated women. They were provided with some training and a small amounts of venture capital resulting in a success rate of an amazing 98%. And they have created over a million new businesses and many jobs for others.
- Why? When in the United States 60 to 70% of new businesses fail, yet these poor uneducated women were amazingly successful. We concluded that it wasn’t the micro loans that were the key because many people starting new businesses have receive small loans from friends and families and still fail. But there was one unique difference the bank required each woman to be a member of a small 5 person support group. Was it possible that these small groups of women possessed special intelligence, like the 7 women in Lee’s hiring experiment?
- Part of the answer came when one of the volunteers pointed out the work of the Santa Fe Institute on Complex Adaptive Systems. (CAS) These are systems whose individual parts are combined to form much greater intelligence than the components. One example is the human brain made up of millions of relatively stupid neurons when combined manifests far greater intelligence than its individual components.
- For millions of years humans and pre-humans have lived as hunter gathers. The demands of child care and the hardships of the hunt has resulted in differing jobs for the sexes.
- Males
- The most effective hunting bands are led by a knowledgeable and courageous individual. When a lion is about to attack you want fast decisions based on knowledge of lions, not discussion and debate.
- All over the world young boys irrespective of culture tend to play in small bands or gangs. When they first get together there is often a lot of bragging, “I know more about hunting snakes than anybody!” “No you don’t my uncle taught me way more then you know, you're not that smart!” There might be some shoving and even an occasional fight. But after a lot of claims and counterclaims a leader will emerge and the rest will follow. The next day when a different activity is embarked on a different leader may emerge. In male gangs a clear leader always emerges. Males don’t communicate all that they know because leadership is in part gained from having knowledge. Even though the leadership role is rarely secure, there can be big reproductive rewards, for the alpha male. So for hundreds of thousands of years the egotistical, non-communicative male has helped the human race survive for he is the perfect hunter and warrior.
- Females
- Now the perfect female is quite different. For the camp to be a safe place to live and raise children one needs to share information. “There is a snake in those rocks”. “The water over there is bad”. “There are ripe berries over that hill”. and “Do you know what Bill did”? Men often demean this as gossip but this is what keeps things working.
- All over the world young girls tend to play in small cliques of 2, 3 or 4. Within these cliques equality is sought, any special talent or skill is downplayed, sort of the opposite of the male bragging. Even a female thought to be of low intelligence will be treated as an equal is she is visiting the clique, after all she may be the only person in camp that saw the poisonous snake slither under the sleeping mat. Once she has been pumped dry of information and leaves the group they may well say derogatory things about her but not to her face. There are other differences a boy may be sent packing for not following orders, but the next day he may be accepted back into the hunting band. A female who violates the social norms of a clique may be excluded for months, even years.
- For hundreds of thousands of years this the life and death struggle has endowed groups of females with collective Intelligence. We lost access to this super intelligence as humans moved away from hunting gathering. When ego driven men quit hunting and stayed in in the village, they hoarded information and believed that they had all the answers. Because of the greater productivity of farming and the industrial age, this less than optimal male control has been able to survive. This is rapidly changing as intelligent self-educating machines are now able to outperform humans in millions of traditional jobs.
- Brain Imaging
- Recent brain-imaging studies lend weight to this hypothesis. Dr. Jahanshad found "significant" sex differences in areas of the brain's frontal lobe, which is associated with self-control, speech and decision-making. Also women in their 20s had more connections between the two brain hemispheres while men of the same age had more connective fibers within each hemisphere. "Women are mostly better connected left-to-right and right-to-left across the two brain hemispheres," Dr. Verma said. "Men are better connected within each hemisphere and from back-to-front." That suggests women might be better wired for multitasking and analytical thought, which require coordination of activity in both hemispheres. Men, in turn, may be better wired for more-focused tasks that require attention to one thing a time. But the researchers cautioned such conclusions are speculative.
- In summary:
- Humanity is entering the third major paradigm shift. In the first we moved from hunter gatherers to farmers. The industrial revolution was the second, when machines augmented our muscle power. Today we are rapidly entering the cognitive age as intelligent machines augment human brain power is wiping out hundreds of millions of jobs. For the survival of the human race, it is important that we make use of female super intelligence.
