– By Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler
If you suddenly realize you have a special capability – THEN that capability has an immediate potential to blossom and grow!
Make sense?
For example: If you have a hidden talent for singing, but nevër tried to sing, would you ever “boost your singing skill”?
Of course not!
Hëre’s a fact you may have overlooked so far in your life: Your brain contains the seeds of genius. You have personal potentials so far beyond what you are achieving today that it is virtually staggering!
Yes. I am talking about YOUR brain... and YOUR potentials!
Once you contemplate the following facts, your brainpower will be permanently altered. The new neural tracts that will be built while absorbing the implications of this knowledge WILL change your physical brain – forever.
I can compare it to a personal experience of the first time I walked on fire. You are NEVËR again the same.
So take a few minutes and immerse yourself in the implications of what follows:
1. Your brain has an unlimïted potential to learn. It absorbs an estimated 7 to 10 new pieces of information every second – and can continue to do so for the rest of your life, yet still have plenty of room left to learn more. And each time you have a new experience or learn something, your brain physically grows new inter-neural (brain cell) connections. Your brain is actually so conducive to growth, that its growth potential nöw has a new scientific term – “brain plasticity.”
2. Your cortex is “wrinkled” for a reason. You have billions and billions of brain cells packed into your 3-pound brain. If all of your brain cells were laid out end-to-end, your mind would stretch at least 800,000 kilometers (496,000 miles). This is roughly the distance to the moon and back.
3. Your brain is not limited to your skull. Your intelligence is actually distributed throughout the cells of your body. The body-mind barrier does NOT exist. We are thinking beings on every level. There is even a current scientific theory that our brain is holographic – and is duplicated right down to a sub-molecular level.
4. You actually have TWO centralized brains. You have more brain cells in your second brain than you do in the portion encased in your skull. Where is that second brain? In your gut.
5. YOUR brain is as unique as your fingerprint. Of the six billion people currently living, and the 90 billion people who have ever walked the earth, there has nevër been a brain quite like yours. YOU are truly unprecedented and totally unique.
6. Your brain is capable of unlimïted thought patterns. Back in 1968 a student of the great Pavlov shocked the scientific community when his research proved the smallest number of potential thought patterns an average brain can create is the number 1 – followed by 10.5 million kilometers of typewritten zeros.
7. Intelligence has little to do with your IQ score. Neuroscientists and neuropsychologists nöw know that IQ tests only measure very limited “rational and logical” thinking skills. Such skills may actually be the most limited portion of your intelligence. We nöw know that there is also your emotional intellicence (EQ) and your all-important higher intelligence (HQ). And many researchers nöw identify as many as 25 sub-intelligences.
8. You can learn to think like Einstein. Recent research clearly demonstrated that the basic thing setting Einstein’s brain apart was the number of connections between his neurons. This is not a birth condition. Such a densely packed brain is created by challenging yourself mentally!
9. You can also learn to think like Leonardo da Vinci. Your intelligence is NOT fixed at birth. A recent statistical review of more than two hundred IQ by Bernard Devlin (published in the "Nature" journal) established that your genes account for only about 48 percent of your IQ. The remaining 52 percent is a function of your prenatal care, environment, and education. And, it should be added, this includes education at any age!
10. Your intelligence can be raised through appropriate training. Although your early upbringing and genetic background “may” predispose you to have certain “natural” talents – many researchers have shown that intelligence scores can be raised significantly through appropriate training.
11. This knowledge has already changed your brain. Just reading this information created immediate synaptic changes in your brain. If you actually contemplate what this information means to you, you strengthen those new neural connections. And the stronger they get, the more easily they will override any old limiting thoughts you may have about your own mental potential!
