The myth of left brain superiority

Published by admin under Academic Angle, Brain Function

Elizabeth A. Phelps of Yale University, Janet Metcalfe of Columbia University and Margaret Funnell, a postdoctoral fellow at Dartmouth College, have found that the two hemispheres differ in their ability to process new data. When presented with new information, people usually remember much of what they experience. When questioned, they also usually claim to remember things that were not truly part of the experience. If split-brain patients are given such tests, the left hemisphere generates many false reports. But the right brain does not; it provides a much more veridical account.” (Gazzaniga, 1998: 54).

Alright so in my last blog post I had some things to say about a neuroanatomist’s interpretation of her trauma induced “right brain experience.” What happened basically was a stroke shut down “something’ in the left hemisphere. This “shut down” subsequently opened the scientist up to a rather dramatically different way of looking at things. The variation from the “normal” experience of the scientist was striking and while she went on and on in effusive terms about the “glory” of the experience, I suggested that it was inappropriate to view her experience as anything other than as a kind of “awakening inner child” experience. After years of left brain dominance and right atrophy, suddenly the censors were turned off and the “child” (the higher processing facilities of the right brain) where exposed to reality with obvious and predictable results, i.e., childlike apprehension of reality and childlike affect

The “child like” right brain

Published by admin under Academic Angle, Brain Function

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/229

So, a couple days ago a friend of mine sent me a video to view. The video is a video of a neuroanatomist by the name of Jill Bolte who had a “left brain” stroke. As she describes in her video, the effects of the stroke were rather dramatic shutting down her left brain in a pre-emptory fashion leaving her, as she describes throughout the course of her video presentation, in the “la la land” of the right hemisphere.

The Sphere

Published by admin under Musings, Mysticism

As above in consciousness, so below in matterTM

So a few days ago I had the dubious pleasure of watching a film called The Sphere (1998) with Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, and Samuel L. Jackson. The movie is about a crew of people who go down into the ocean to find a spaceship buried in three hundred years of coral growth. You can imagine their surprise when they realize the ship is from their own future, everybody is dead, and there’s this big, pulsating sphere in the center of the space ship.

What are they to do, they wonder?

Well, this is a Hollywood movie so they aren’t very long in their wondering before “things” begin to happen.

Accidents start to happen.

Monsters start to appear.

Fires start burn.

People begin to die.

Why?

Well as the characters begin to find out just as all the last of the low paid actors are getting brutally killed, it’s because the sphere gives them this magical ability to manifest their thoughts.

Now how cool is that!!!

Think of something and there it is!!!!! Or as I like to say, “as above in consciousness, so below in matter.”

You think they’d be excited by that, but there not. It’s not a happy show.

The problem with this amazing genie in the bottle?

Well, the characters are the problem.

You see…

The thoughts of the primitive humans are so full of, anger, hatred, and other nasty negative stuff that all they can manage to accomplish with this amazingly wonderful divine power is negative, violent, death (and I thought it was Hollywood)

Oh, and there’s some ugly ones.

The scene with the fire blasting into Fielding’s bare face was particularly horrifying. Shameful even. Terrible.

So what do the three intrepid explorers do?

Well, after killing everybody off, drugging each other, and generally acting like scared whittle wabbits, they manage to control their chaotic bundle of negative cogitation long enough to get themselves into a little sub marine back the surface. When there, Samuel’s character mumbles some incoherent little threat about “forget it or die stupid mortals” and they all huddle around in this cute little group circle, confirm to each other how stupid they each are, and then hold hands and simply forget they ever had the power in the first place!!!

[If you could see my face, you’d be laughing with me now.]

As it turns out, it’s just too much for them to handle.

They have “weak minds,” as the “Jedi” like to say.

According to the screenwriters, we’re apparently nothing more than worthless pieces of cosmic shit too stupid to simply think the bomb off, and too dim to simply think ourselves the surface.

Now this would be funny if it weren’t so bloody serious and if you’ve read my books, you’ll know why. In my Dossier of the Ascension I speak at great length about a thing I called the Atlantean fear. According to my Dossier the Atlantean fear is:

the fear of power. More specifically, it is the fear of having power. More specifically, it is the fear that some great power (God, Spirit, an Alien race) will smite you dead for taking control of your own life, claiming your co-creative power, and presuming to consider yourself an equal of God.

Neat eh?

Here’s a fear that I argue (in the Dossier and the Book of Life) is:

  1. genetically based .
  2. implanted by the destruction of Atlantis
  3. implanted to prevent us (ascension workers) from empowering,
  4. implanted to give the PTB something to use to beat us down.

…being used by the PTB to do beat us down

Go figure.

My family

Published by admin under Personal

Here’s me and my family, Cape Point, South Africa on the vacation leg of a recent book tour there. There’s me, the blond with the hair in face, my brilliant wife Gina, my glorious son Niko, my stunning daughter Vayda, and my divine little Tristan. Stephen my magnificent older son is missing but since he was looking after our home while we were gone, he was probably thinking of us as much as we were thinking of him.

Cape Point South Africa

I gotta say, SA is an amazing country. Very beautiful country. Magnificent and beautiful people. I cannot tell you how much we loved it there except to say we loved in there. But altogether too much suffering and poverty. Despite apartheid and the economic promise of globalization, millions of blacks still live in desperate poverty in this country, eking out a meager existence as slaves within the system. Formal freedom they may have, but without the energy (i.e., the money) to uplift themselves, what can they do? The System there is still set up like the system everywhere. It sucks energy from the people and deposits it in the hands of a few. Apartheid may have fallen, but The System lingers on.

But that will change. No worries. While I was down there I started talking to the people I met about how I thought that, very soon, the eyes of the world would once again be looking at South Africa but this time not in disapproval at a violent and exclusionary apartheid regime, but because of an amazing, almost miraculous transformation that would begin to occur in that country I would think by the middle of 2009, but hopefully a lot sooner.A transformation so miraculous and startling that everyone in the world would be wondering what the heck was going on.

What’s the nature of this transformation? Well I’m talking about that in the book I’m currently working which I’ve tentatively entitled “Circles.” Since I don’t want to spoil the plot or the ending, I don’t want to go into too much detail here.
