BOOK OVERVIEW
LEARNING OVERVIEW
Conscious and Unconscious
You are conscious of only a small fraction of the brain’s operation.
The unconscious supports the conscious.
Inner Conflicts
Where there is conflict there are two or more opposing forces.
Evolution
Evolution exists
There is undeniable evidence of evolution that dates back millions of years.
Triune Brain Theory
The human brain is actually a compilation of three brains: Instinctive, emotional, logical
Instinctive: Food, water, shelter, sex.
Emotional: love, anger, joy, sadness
Logical: thinking, planning, conscious
You are conscious of the conflicts between brains
Logic
A logical brain adapts quickly relative to evolution.
Serving Evolution
The trillions of life forms serve as probes for evolution’s next round of species in its quest to grow closer to God or become God.
Ego
Ego is a force that arises out of consciousness.
Ego seeks to identify itself and expand identity.
Back to the Triune
The stereotypical human is driven by very instinctual, emotional and logical purpose.
Extremes depend on upbringing and perception.
Why Does Life Seem so Complex?
Logic seeks to know its environment by cutting up the energy spectrum into millions of individual labels.
Studying Yourself Objectively
The triune brain theory is useful for identifying and resolving conflicting energies.
The Rewards of Objective Self Study
Over time you can make little adjustments to how you feel or how you behave.
Methods: Awareness & Will Power
Who Are You Really?
There is one thing the Ego cannot own and that is awareness.
You Are Awareness
Your reality is whatever you are aware of
This is Life
Your ‘hardware’ and ‘software’ was not built for today’s civilization but yesterday’s survival.
It’s our power to learn and through learning become aware again that makes us different from other animals that have no hope of breaking free from instinctual binds.
Learning Objectively
Information is not distorted by a broken or foggy lens
Objective learning is how you come to know higher truth.
Multiple Intelligences
Everyone is naturally smart
Identifying natural intelligence and leveraging it is, intelligent
What about Balance and General Education?
All students should only have to conform to basic learning foundations: alphabet, language, mathematics etc.
Students should begin to specialize as early as possible.
Right and Left Brain
The brain has two distinct hemispheres: verbal-mathematical & visual-spatial.
Identify and leverage your dominant hemisphere.
3 Doorways to Learning
VAK – Visual, Auditory & Kinesthetic
Early Development
Babies pay attention and think about their environment.
Prior understanding can impede future development.
Impact of Culture
Culture has a significant impact on early development
A Child’s Inner Reality
The ‘clay’ can be reshaped through questioning & validation.
Early Reasoning
Children can become conscious of how they learn best.
Teachers should work with student learning strengths. (via flexible or multi-dimensional teaching methods)
A student should organize information based on strengths.
SECTION I: HOW TO LEARN
Step #1: Purpose
Probe your mind for Purpose
· What problems or needs demand my attention?
· How will this information benefit me?
Step #2: Prepare
Prepare to learn at your best.
· State purpose
· Relax the mind
· Be of good health
· Create optimum environment
Step #3: Preview
Preview for the big picture.
· The author’s intention behind the information.
· The author’s intention in relation to your purpose.
· The structure of the information.
Step #4: Experience
Experience information using a multi-sensory approach.
· VAK (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic)
· Right and Left Brain
Step #5: Chunk
Chunk information in simple ways:
· Mind Map Clusters
· Categories
· Acronyms
· Mnemonics
· Hyphenated Numbers
Step #6: Post View
Post view for maximum understanding.
· Write what you learned
· Teach it to others
· Write how you can apply it
Step #7: Integrate
Integrate what you learn – take action!
· Plan integration: Schedule blocks of time or appropriate setting to experiment with information.
· Get feedback: Use a simple journal to make observations.
· Review regularly: Review mind map to reactivate important information on a regular basis.
SECTION II: HOW TO RECALL
6 Stages of Memory
Stage 1: Senses - Information is received
Stage 2: Encoding - Information is encoded
Stage 3: Response – Information is acted upon
Stage 4: Short Term Memory -Information is impressed upon short term memory.
Stage 5: Long Term Storage – Information is filed into long term storage
Stage 6: Recall – Information is recalled and put into action.
Memories are based on association.
Memories are encoded by:
Sensory & Emotional Intensity
Meaningful Chunks
Memories are activated via:
Links, cues or reminders in the Now
STEPS TO RECALL
Step #1: Purpose
Use pleasure and pain questions to create purpose:
How do you benefit from remembering?
What would happen if you don’t?
Step #2: Prepare
Prepare to learn at your best.
State purpose
Relax the mind
Be of good health
Create optimum environment
Step #3: Chunk
Chunk information in simple ways:
Mind Map Clusters
Categories
Acronyms
Mnemonics
Hyphenated Numbers
Step #4: Intensify
Intensify experiences through:
Sense Stimulation:
Extreme VAK (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic)
Strange
Scary
Inspirational
Emotionally charged
Emotional Triggers
Senses
Imagination
Activating old memories
Spiritual ‘Stimulation’
Moods
Environments that cultivate desired emotions.
Step #5: Rehearse
Repetition is the mother of skill. For this, there are two kinds of rehearsal:
Semantic Rehearsal: chronic repetition
Episodic Rehearsal: gradually spaced repetition
Step #6: Remind
To remind you of important information:
Plan time for episodic rehearsal
Use reminders from your environment to activate memory.
HOW TO PRESENT
Step #1: Capture Attention
To capture the attention of your audience use:
Surprise: captures attention
Stimulation: holds attention (See step 2)
Benefits: directs action
Step #2: Engage Senses
To engage the senses of your audience use:
Stories
Plot (Purpose)
Tension (Conflict)
Resolution (Resolution)
Create visual & auditory experiences
Stir emotions
Infiltrate conscious filters
Music
Sets the mood
Imagery
Stories
Demonstration
Props
Live Discussion
Liven it up with spicy debates.
Step #3: Relate Information
To captivate your audience relate information to their:
Past Experience: The brain always seeks closure from the past.
Real Life: Information related to life experience is useful.
Intelligent Questioning: Intelligent questioning bypasses conscious judgment.
Step #4: Offer Credible Evidence
To build trust and credibility use:
Credible Sources
Authorities
Cite Specifics
Names
Dates
Other traceable specifics
Step #5: Call to Action
To influence the audience to take action:
State Action: clearly state or demonstrate action
Make it Compelling: build value around taking action. (Pleasure)
Make it Easy: simplify the process for taking action.
State Consequences of Inaction: push them to take action. (Pain)
A direct push like closing a sale, where direct benefit is derived: less credible
An indirect push, like a recommendation, where no direct benefit is derived: more credible
Credibility is the key for making the call to action successful.
Step #6: Integrate
To conclude a presentation with maximum impact, have audience:
Write: what they learned.
Say: discuss what they learned
Do: think how they will use what they learned.
Schedule: schedule time at regular intervals to integrate what they learned.
