  1. THE HUMAN BRAIN:A BIO-CHEMICAL,PZIEOELECTRIC TRANSDUCER THAT TAKES INPUT FROM OUR THOUGHTS AND STIMULATES CERTAIN GLANDS THAT SECRETE THEIR HORMONAL SIGNATURE,S.
    THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT OF THESE FOR TRANSCENDENTAL INTERFACE WITH A HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS ARE THE REPRODUCTIVE HORMONES AND THE PINEAL GLAND CHEMICAL'S.
    WHEN ONE MEDITATES OR THINKS LOVING THOUGHTS AN AMPLE AMOUNT OF OUR REPRODUCTIVE HORMONES MOVES INTO THE PINEAL GLAND.THIS NEW CHEMICAL COMPOSITION IS CALLED AMIRT, THE ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY.IF ENOUGH OF THESE CHEMICALS REACHES THE BRAINS SYNAPSES THEY OPEN WIDE ALLOWING MORE PRANA,THE REAL GOD PARTICLE TO REACH THE CONSCIOUS MIND.
    DMT PRODUCES A SIMILAR EFFECT WITH THE DIFFERENCE BEING ONE CAN INTERFACE WITH HIGHER FREQUENCIES OF CONSCIOUSNESS THAT APPEAR TO LOOK LIKE INDIVIDUAL BEINGS, BUT ARE PROJECTIONS OF THESE HIGHER FREQUENCIES BY PROXY.

  2. DO YOU KNOW THIS IS THE AFTER LIFE ALREADY.. I THINK NOT. OTHERWISE THE BRAIN WOULD NOT BE A TOPIC. CONSCIOUSNESS IS WHAT GIVES YOU THE INFORMATION OF WHAT YOU ARE. IT'S THE FOUNDATION OF ANYONE'S REALITY.. YOUR LEVEL DEFINES WHO MUCH YOU UNDERSTAND OF THAT REALITY.. THAT'S ALL WE DO FROM THE TIME WE ARE BORN TO THIS VIDEO CONVERSATION.. *{ALL WE DO, IS TRY TO UNDERSTAND REALITY, INTERACT WITH IT… TO THE POINT WHERE CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANYMORE ,THAN YOU STOP AND "LIVE".. OR THOSE WHO TRY FURTHER GO TO SCIENCE OR BIOLOGY OR ASTRONOMY OR PHYSICS.. OR YOU GIVE UP AND SAY : THERE'S A GOD!. DONE. OR THOSE WHO TRY EVEN FURTHER.. TRY TO CONTROL OR BEND REALITY. }*THERE ARE SEVERAL CLASSIFICATIONS OF PEOPLE. I WILL NOT LIST THEM ALL.

  3. Interresting theory, that the Hemispheres are for differently Thninking-Modes.
    But there´s some all-embracing conception, that right-hemisphere are more man-like, and left-hemisphere are more woman-like – for the humanoids.

    Dolphin and Birds use this Hemispheeres for sleep at flight or swim. One hemisphere is sleeping, the other works for motoric functions and controlling environment – interchangeably according to prevailing need. That there are special functions in each hemisphere, is thereby less probable. Only special life-styles that conditioning Brain, can form hyper-specialised brainregions between left and right hemispghere.

  4. If man want to make devices as can do mental functions, man must copy the way the Eternal Life does.
    So the device must have power, 'Gravity', it must work 'automatic', Instinct', there must be order, Logic, System, 'Intelligence', and 'Memory', sensors can be added, 'Feeling'.
    Intuition, is not at all understoud, and it will be to extensive to go in further details with, but the 'Idea, and Satisfaction', is keywords, even it is far more dynamic.
    The rainbow mirror the structure of our eternal consciousness, we might say that purple present the Over-consciousness, which actually is color-less, it contains six eternal ablility-kernels, Instinct, red- Gravity, orange- Feeling, Yellow – Intelligence, green – Intuition, violet/blue – and Memory, – indigo – the basic abilities present the Under-consciousness, which consist of the Day-consciousness, and the Night-consciousness.
    These abilities is mirrored in our physical body-structure, as organ-areas, as well in our consciousness.
    the structure, and it's order present a developing-circuit, which all ways begin (from) and end with Memory.
    This is the naked nature of the consciousness, and if we imagine that one of the eternal abilities could be taken away, the consciousness would not work, – try it, if you can.

    Well, the consciousness is Not in the brain, but works through the brain, like the programs is not in the radio, but works through the radio, but the brain are of organic nature, and if a hare realize a new smell, then it create an synaps, so it can be recognized next time.
    The two part of the brain present the Feminin pole/principle, and the Masculine pole/principle, which is the most basic in the organ-structure of the Living Beings. The brain is a highly developed being, it have it's own consciousness, and live in it's own heaven, in a lower developing-circuit, our physical body
    In this perspective, the brain-scientists is Not yet born, They are just researchers, neuro-researchers.
    So, We, and our consciousness, have all ways been, 'Here and Now', and the Eternal Here and Now is the Only real 'steady point', behind the Motion-Ocean.

  5. 10% of modern humans are left handed because when our ancestors were persistence hunting Pleistocene megafauna with spears most of the group would approach from behind on the right side but a few would approach on th left in case the prey turned away.

  6. My brain is a mess. I throw, punch, bowl, kick a ball with my right. I write, draw, shave, use a soldering iron, etc. with my left. I'm also "goofy footed" on a skateboard.

  7. What is it meant by 'language"? words in the mind as we talk things over with ourselves without vocalising those words, or speech, the vocalised words?

  8. Just wondering. Why must it be a dual nature? for example, is it possible to have two larger systems however within the cut right and left side as you were talking about in the video that they could be an accumulation of subsystems? And rather the brain somehow when connected integrates this information into a coherent frame.

  9. I'm fascinated with the subject of right handed and left handed…
    I'm left handed (more or less)… i also had a little bit of dyslexia when i was a kid…
    I say more or less because some activities are specifically located with my left hand (writing, drawing, basically anything asking fine motor skills) some activities are located with my right hand only (playing tennis… throwing a base ball, using tools etc) and some activities are purely ambidextrous (i shave my face with my both hands without even paying attention) … when i use the computer of my left hand friend it takes me a while to realize that the mouse is on thr left side)
    My leading eye is the left one : i shoot with a rifle onn the left side …
    Go figure this mess 😊
    Nobody is able to explain why lefty are more or less 10% of the human population… and why it's always been the case since the beginning of times… this proportion appears to be constant no matter how much it was repressed by religions or other superstitious beliefs…
    Left handers also resist the theory of evolution… if it had been a disadvantage in human history (need of specialised tools etc) it would have disappeared to the profit of right handers vast majority… if an advantage it would have got bigger in proportion during time… but nope… 10% of the population no matter what part of the world…
    More work for the brain scientists in the future i guess

  10. I am so excited that this is now on YouTube. So much better than having to wait until X:XX pm on PBS to watch…..and now I get to watch again to make sure I understood what was being conveyed. I absolutely love it. Thank You!

  11. That poor student, mental torture to count all those nerve fibers. I would even a robot would suffer bouts of insanity counting those tiny fibers.

    As for the split brains or dual personalities. Anybody that have seen cartoons during the younger days will remember the angel on one side of the shoulder and the devil on the other side of the shoulder. LOL

  12. When you listen to brain scientists, and are thinking: OK, I knew that… and that…. and that…. etc..
    and you realize that you missed your calling. It just seems like common knowledge to me.

  13. The idea of a change of state, where material things issue emissions of energy, the activity of the exchange, the transition of something moving from a physical condition of existing to being waves of energy, that interface or place of conversation , is where the behavior is available to expect the possibility of consciousness. It might be comparable to exchanging money, breaking bills, into coins, spending currency , losing something in the deal, taxing the expenditure, and giving something to get something else, the activity has it's own unique economy , it is the meeting of worlds. The collision of worlds, conflicts between how things exist , materially and as energy waves in some function of moving from one condition to another, spending currency , maybe giving up some entropy , to change from matter to energy , energy to matter, and this volley of serves over the net between their states of existence, that experiences the acute nature of sentient life.

  14. I find it interesting that scientists that believe in evolution consistently say we “ don’t know why” because when we have a creator it’s just simply a design issue . The creator has designed you. So things show up you will never understand.
