Frontal Lobes Supercharge.


 

The information below is the result of cutting edge brain and behavior research.  Currently for sale brain machines are mere toys compared to the 1,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000 and more organic neural computer chips you already own inside your own head. 

Decades of brain research has led to simple methods by which any person, ages 6 to 96 can learn simple Brain Self-Control and release the infinite potential waiting between two ears, washed or un-washed.
Are YOU ready to TURN ON YOUR INFINITY MOTOR?


Chapter 1: What Is Popping Your Frontal Lobes?

Think of the most fantastic, exhilarating, or happiest moment of your life. Got it? Now multiply that times a thousand, or ten-thousand. Or a million . That's what it feels like when you POP! your frontal lobes. For real.
To turn on your frontal lobes you

Click your amygdala forward.


This sends energy all the way through your brain.               Transcendence is "in" your frontal lobes.
The frontal lobes are the most advanced part of your brain. The frontal lobes are that part of your brain responsible for creativity, logic, intuition, new problem solving, synthesis of ideas, imagination, concepts of time, and planning.
By clicking your amygdala forward, you cause electro-chemical activity to occur from the base of your brain all the way through to the most advanced part of your brain, the frontal lobes.
Clicking your amygdala forward, self-stimulating the front portion of your amygdala, causes automatic sensations of pleasure and peace of mind. Why? Nature has created the brain to REWARD the kind of thinking that enhances survival.
Well yeah! Of course!
“Whoa!” you say. “The best day of my life times a million! Impossible!”
Well okay, let’s examine this “popping” phenomenon in another more plausible fashion that shouldn’t be too hard to accept as a possibility....
Imagine the most fun you’ve ever had, or more to the point, the best feeling you’ve ever experienced. Got it? Now imagine figuring out how to feel this feeling once a month, every month. That’s not too hard to accept now is it? How about, once a week, every week? How about every day for the rest of your life? Mmmmmmmm.....Wow! Yes.
When you learn brain self-control, you “pop” your frontal lobes. This is an honest-to-goodness physiological brain function. Both pleasure intensity and frequency becomes your reality. And it is just the tip of the iceberg.

Clicking your amygdala backward has just the opposite effect.  
Frontal lobes transcendence is the addition of increased frontal lobes activity to the point where only positive pleasurable emotions are felt. This is a result of a higher perception of reality and a more successful mode of operation for the individual in the environment.
By continually self-stimulating the most advanced anterior portion of your brain- your frontal lobes, by "clicking your amygdala forward"- you get greatly increased/continuous creative intelligence pleasure.
Clicking your amygdala forward is simple and very easy once you understand how your brain works and recognize the process. It has been there since the day you were born.

Waiting.



Frontal lobes "transcendence" is the perpetual positive emotion machine!
It is the smartest part of your brain tickling the "goody spot" of your brain whenever you like.
It is FREE, and always there at your neural fingertips. 

Frontal lobes fun is made possible by EFFORTLESS EFFORT, the increased use of the brain potential already existing inside your head.
Your brain will run like an efficient, cool run, natural machine. You will feel good, and your ability to function and solve problems is tremendously enhanced.
Frustration, anger, fear, pain, and other negative feelings are reduced tremendously or even eliminated by your frontal lobes. You "drive around" negative emotions as easily as you drive around obstacles in the road, once you learn how to see forward with your frontal lobes. Just as a child learns how to walk and outgrows falling down, you will outgrow falling down emotions once you learn some basic facts about how your brain works.
And at the same time, your ability to concentrate on your goals, think clearly and act more intelligently in your own behalf and for others is tremendously increased.
You transcend, rise above and beyond, and eliminate bad feelings and the "problems" of life.

Real Brains Science- not hocus pocus!


The location of pre-existing neural circuits for intense pleasure and exceptionally peaceful states of mind in the brains of mammals and humans was first established in the scientific community by brain researchers Jose Delgado of Yale University, James Olds and Peter Milner of the Montreal Neurological Institute, and Dr. Robert Heath of Tulane University Medical School. The brain's trigger sites for pleasure and ecstasy include the anterior amygdala and the septal area. Your brain is built to remember what makes it feel good.
The ability of persons to self-stimulate their anterior amygdala and experience the "frontal lobes 'pop' phenomenon" was proven by a 35 year study by brain and behavior researcher T.D.A. Lingo at the Dormant Brain Research and Development Laboratory near Blackhawk, Colorado, 1957-1993. Over 309 Students and test subjects were involved, and their resultant increases in intelligence, creativity, and positive emotions were demonstrated and measured by a variety of tests and analysis methods in long and short term studies. This has been followed by years of follow up research and feedback with tens of thousands of global Brain Self-Control students and subjects.

 

Scientific Nirvana

"Popping" your frontal lobes or Frontal Lobes Transcendence is defined as an extension of other experiences known historically as: nirvana; satori; samadhi; kensho; enlightenment; born again; and other "one-with-the-universe" rapturous experiences of which have been recognized for thousands of years.
Only now has recent scientific investigation made it possible to pinpoint the actual specific areas inside the human brain involved in this kind of experience, and the kind of thought processes which turn it on.
This new additional scientific information makes it far easier to understand, define, describe, and teach this phenomenon.
Where other systems are employed to increase intelligence and elevate mood, such as "positive thinking" exercise, various drugs, diet, or other practices, the results may be temporary, and dependent on specific circumstances. You may become addicted to a limited method of keeping you "high". Ah, yes, ANOTHER behavioral addiction.
On the other hand, frontal lobes access is a permanent change in the perception of reality. It takes place in the no-time-lag inner circuits of your brain. It is independent of physical restraints, body condition, space limitations, or special equipment- other than having a brain.
Once you "!POP!" your frontal lobes, you experience an advanced automatic thought process in which most anything and everything available can be used as positive brain/life nourishment. There is nothing to bring you down. 
You understand- at last- what is going on inside your cranial compartment. 
You understand how the motor works.

How long does IT last?

Actual PHYSICAL growth of the brain, and growth of neural pathways from changes in behavior and learning have now been documented in laboratory research. We can SEE actual physical changes in the brain that occur from learning new things, acquiring skills, and changed behaviors. Positive changes are HARD WIRED into the brain's neural connections. Proven.
Change you make using your frontal lobes is FOREVER. Clicking the amygdala forward in laboratory animals (known as kindling) and also in humans, causes a permanent change in behavior.
Turn on your frontal lobes, and you reduce or eliminate boredom, loneliness, lovelessness, meaninglessness. These and other negative emotions are replaced by positive emotions and feelings.
Your frontal lobes will create a life for you that is rewarding, enjoyable, peaceful, flowing, stimulating, and breathtaking. It is life which is amazing 24 hours a day, every single day. You can't help but admit it- life is amazing.
You develop your own personal automatic creative intelligence pleasure habit.

Who or what POPS! Your frontal lobes?

It is done by YOU and YOUR BRAIN. Without special equipment. Without cost. It's free. No dues. You can learn from a friend. What a deal!

What's it like when I turn on my frontal lobes?

Frontal lobes activities are NICE. Your frontal lobes do not create a non-stop chatter inside your head. Frontal lobes turn on the freedom for you to think or space out as desired, without jeopardizing your existence- a smooth operation.
You can finally really relax! Ahhhh!

Your frontal lobes expression of genius creativity and super intelligence does not require you to become an atomic physicist or to compose two-hour long symphonic overtures (although you could!)
You may chose to express yourself as a genius friend, a super-intelligent mom, a brilliant bus driver, the world's most outrageous punk, or whatever. You will become a genius at enjoying life, whether it is in appreciation of the simple things in life, or the diligently pursued skills.

 

How long does this brain stuff take?

Results start as soon as you start playing with your brain.

With conventional thinking, "It will never happen, it's not possible".
Using more traditional methods of study to achieve various transcendence "brain popping" experiences, such as  meditation, or rational logic, popping your frontal lobes may or may not occur after many years, decades, or a lifetime of work, if it happens at all.
However, the results of the Blackhawk brain lab study show that by the addition of learning basic brain facts the "transcendence phenomenon" occurred between two weeks and five years after the beginning of practice, and study of a few brain facts. Most people who are receptive get results from day one.
What will you chose: never, maybe, or sometime soon?
What will you choose for this once chance at life...

Transcendence.



From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with Transcendentalism.
In religion, transcendence refers to the aspect of God's nature and power which is wholly independent of (and removed from) the material universe. This is contrasted with immanence where God is fully present in the physical world and thus accessible to creatures in various ways. In religious experience transcendence is a state of being that has overcome the limitations of physical existence and by some definitions has also become independent of it. This is typically manifested in prayer, séance, meditation, psychedelics and paranormal "visions".
It is affirmed in the concept of the divine in the major religious traditions, and contrasts with the notion of God, or the Absolute, existing exclusively in the physical order (immanentism), or indistinguishable from it (pantheism). Transcendence can be attributed to the divine not only in its being, but also in its knowledge. Thus, God transcends the universe, but also transcends knowledge (is beyond the grasp of the human mind).
Although transcendence is defined as the opposite of immanence, the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Some theologians and metaphysicians of the great religious traditions affirm that God, or Brahman, is both within and beyond the universe (panentheism); in it, but not of it; simultaneously pervading it and surpassing it.

[edit] View by religion

[edit] Baha'i Faith

Bahá'ís believe in a single, imperishable God, the creator of all things, including all the creatures and forces in the universe.[1] God is described as "a personal God, unknowable, inaccessible, the source of all Revelation, eternal, omniscient, omnipresent and almighty."[2] Though inaccessible directly, God is nevertheless seen as conscious of his creation, with a mind, will and purpose. Bahá'ís believe that God expresses this will at all times and in many ways, including through a series of divine messengers referred to as Manifestations of God or sometimes divine educators.[3] In expressing God's intent, these manifestations are seen to establish religion in the world. Bahá'í teachings state that God is too great for humans to fully comprehend, nor to create a complete and accurate image.[4]

[edit] Buddhism

In Buddhism — "transcendence", by definition, belongs to the mortal beings of the formless realms of existence. However, although such beings are at 'the peak' of Samsara, Buddhism considers the development of transcendence to be both temporary and a spiritual cul-de-sac, which therefore does not eventuate a permanent cessation of Samsara. This assertion was a primary differentiator from the other Sramana teachers during Gautama Buddha's own training and development.[5]
Alternatively, in the various forms of Buddhism — Theravada, Mahayana (especially Pure Land and Zen) and Vajrayana — the notion of transcendence sometimes includes a soteriological application. Except for Pure Land and Vajrayana, the role played by transcendent beings is minimal and at most a temporary expedient. However some Buddhists believe that Nirvana is an eternal, transcendental state beyond name and form, so for these Buddhists, Nirvana is the main concept of transcendence. The more usual interpretation of Nirvana in Buddhism is that it is a cessation - a permanent absence of something (namely suffering), and therefore it is not in any way a state which could be considered transcendent.

[edit] Christianity

Part of a series on the
Attributes of God
Stained glass, Holy Family Church, Teconnaught, September 2010 crop.jpg
The Hebrew Torah teaches that God made the physical world, declared it to be good[6] and demonstrated that God is involved in human history. While God transcends the physical,[7] He also works in and reveals himself through physical means such as dreams, signs, miracles and the existence of beauty in the created world. Judaism conceives the worship of God to be shown in part through the enjoyment of life in both sensual and material pleasures such as the sexual love between a man and his wife and the accumulation of material wealth. Christianity, although it considers the world to be fundamentally good (sharing the same basic theistic conceptions as Judaism) sees the human world to be corrupted by original sin with the result that man is alienated from God because he is serving the instinct of concupiscence, a form of idolatry inasmuch as it places the value of material things before the worship of God, their creator. Jesus chastised the Pharisees for their love of wealth and privilege over concern with justice and taught his disciples to be unattached to material things and rather seek the kingdom of heaven. Thus Christianity was from the beginning of a more distinctly ascetic, metaphysical and mystical character eschewing material wealth in favour of poverty and prayer implying holiness as something apart from worldly things. Monasticism, the deliberate turning away from the things of the world has always been a central feature of Christianity but not of Judaism. Thus it can be argued that Christianity sees the transcendence of God as His primary reality.

[edit] Hinduism

Transcendence is described and viewed from a number of diverse perspectives within Hinduism and its multi-faceted scriptural metaphysics. Some traditions, such as Advaita Vedanta, view transcendence in the form of 'God' as the Nirguna Brahman (God without attribute - indeed even without "god-ness"), transcendence being absolute. Other traditions, such as Bhakti yoga, view transcendence as God with attributes - Saguna Brahman, the Absolute being a personal deity (Ishvara), such as Vishnu or Shiva.
Within the Bhagavad Gita, transcendence is described as a level of spiritual attainment, or state of being which is open to all spiritual aspirants (the goal of yoga practice) - the state at which one is no longer under the control of animalistic, base desires and is aware of a higher spiritual reality.
  • "When the yogī, by practice of yoga, disciplines his mental activities and becomes situated in transcendence — devoid of all material desires — he is said to be well established in yoga." BG 6.18
The exact nature of this transcendence is given as being "above the modes of material nature", which are known as gunas (ropes) which bind the living entity to the world of samsara (repeated rebirth) within Hindu philosophy. (See BG 14.22-25)

[edit] Islam

Main article: Oneness of God (Islam)
Oneness of God or Tawḥīd is the act of believing and affirming that God (Arabic: Allah) is one and unique (wāḥid). The Qur'an asserts the existence of a single and absolute truth that transcends the world; a unique and indivisible being who is independent of the entire creation.[8] According to the Qur'an:[8]
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him." (Sura 112:1-4, Yusuf Ali)
Thy Lord is self-sufficient, full of Mercy: if it were God's will, God could destroy you, and in your place appoint whom God will as your successors, even as God raised you up from the posterity of other people." (Sura 6:133, Yusuf Ali)
According to Vincent J. Cornell, the Qur'an also provides a monist image of God by describing the reality as a unified whole, with God being a single concept that would describe or ascribe all existing things:"God is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward; God is the Knower of everything (Sura 57:3)"[8] All Muslims have however vigorously criticized interpretations that would lead to a monist view of God for what they see as blurring the distinction between the creator and the creature, and its incompatibility with the radical monotheism of Islam.[9]
In order to explain the complexity of unity of God and of the divine nature, the Qur'an uses 99 terms referred to as "Most Beautiful Names of Allah" (Sura 77:180)[12]. Aside from the supreme name "Allah" and the neologism al-Rahman (referring to the divine beneficence that constantly (re)creates, maintains and destroys the universe), other names may be shared by both God and human beings. According to the Islamic teachings, the latter is meant to serve as a reminder of God's immanence rather than being a sign of one's divinity or alternatively imposing a limitation on God's transcendent nature.
Tawhid or Oneness of God constitutes the foremost article of the Muslim profession.[10] To attribute divinity to a created entity is the only unpardonable sin mentioned in the Qur'an.[11] Muslims believe that the entirety of the Islamic teaching rests on the principle of Tawhid.[12]

[edit] Judaism

Jewish theologians,especially since the Middle Ages, have described the transcendence of God in terms of divine simplicity, explaining the traditional characteristics of God as omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Interventions of divine transcendence occur in the form of events outside the realm of natural occurrence such as miracles and the revelation of the Ten Commandments to Moses at Mt. Sinai. Divine immanence, in contrast, describes the Godliness suffused within all of creation, celebrated and recognized through the practice of Sabbath observance.
In Jewish medieval cosmology, God is described as the "Ein Sof" (literally, without end) as reference to God's divine simplicity and essential unknowability. The emanation of creation from the Ein Sof is explained through a process of filtering. In the Kabbalistic creation myth referred to as the "breaking of the vessels," filtering was necessary because otherwise this intense, simple essence would have overwhelmed and made impossible the emergence of any distinct creations. Each filter, described as a vessel, captured the emanation of this creative force until it was overwhelmed and broken by the intensity of God's simple essence. Once broken, the vessel's shards, full of absorbed "divine sparks," fell into a vessel below. This process ultimately continued until the "light" of Godliness was sufficiently reduced to allow the world we inhabit to be sustained without breaking. The creation of this world, however, comes with the consequence that Godly transcendence is hidden, or "exiled" (from the immanent world). Only through the revelation of sparks hidden within the shards embedded in our material world can this transcendence be recognized again. In Hasidic thought, divine sparks are revealed through the performance of commandments or "mitzvot," (literally, the obligations and prohibitions described in the Torah). One Jewish explanation for the existence of malevolence in the world is that such terrible things are possible with the divine sparks being hidden. Thus there is some urgency to performing mitzvot in order to liberate the hidden sparks and perform a "tikkun olam" (literally, healing of the world). Until then, the world is presided over by the immanent aspect of God, often referred to as the Shekhinah or divine spirit, and in feminine terms.

[edit] Sikhism

God, called Waheguru, is the central idea of Sikhism. In this faith, Guru Nanak — the founder of Sikhism — described God as being transcendent, and is known as the creator. God can create any geographical feature with no effort. God is also known as an eternal being living outside this universe where the good can only travel. Ik Onkar, meaning "One God" is the phrase Sikhs take upon themselves to pray upon. According to the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the holy scripture of Sikhism, God is considered a transcendent and omnipresent being, without fear and hate.

[edit] Meher Baba's teachings

The spiritual teacher Meher Baba held that one can realize the transcendent state of God within oneself: "In order to have a comprehensive idea of what is implied in perfection, it is necessary to classify it into two categories. There is spiritual perfection, which consists in the inner realisation of a transcendent state of consciousness beyond duality. There is also perfection as expressed and seen in the domain of duality."[13]

[edit] The "Death of God" and the end of Transcendence in secular culture

See also: God is dead and Richard Rubenstein
In 1961, Christian theologian Gabriel Vahanian's book The Death of God was published. Vahanian argued that modern secular culture had lost all sense of the sacred, lacking any sacramental meaning, no transcendental purpose or sense of providence. He concluded that for the modern secular mind "God is dead", but he did not mean that God did not exist. In Vahanian's vision a transformed post-Christian and post-modern culture was needed to create a renewed experience of deity.
Paul Van Buren and William Hamilton both agreed that the concept of transcendence had lost any meaningful place in modern secular thought. According to the norms of contemporary modern secular thought, God is dead. In responding to this denial of transcendence Van Buren and Hamilton offered secular people the option of Jesus as the model human who acted in love. The encounter with the Christ of faith would be open in a church-community.
Thomas J. J. Altizer offered a radical theology of the death of God that drew upon William Blake, Hegelian thought and Nietzschean ideas. He conceived of theology as a form of poetry in which the immanence (presence) of God could be encountered in faith communities. However, he no longer accepted the possibility of affirming his belief in a transcendent God. Altizer concluded that God had incarnated in Christ and imparted his immanent spirit which remained in the world even though Jesus was dead. It is important that such ideas are understood as socio-cultural developments and not as ontological realities. As Vahanian expressed it in his book, the issue of the denial of God lies in the mind of secular man, not in reality.
