Great Genius Insights into Everything

All of your thoughts and beliefs form what may be called an “attitude” that you project out into the world. This “attitude” can be very powerful both in the physical sense (how you relate to others) and in the energy level (the thought energy that you project into the universe). For example, the Travel Channel recently had a “special” titled: The Top Ten Ways to Win in Vegas. #3 on the list was “Have a Winning Attitude.”

They performed an experiment where the host of the show was told to walk into a casino and play black-jack doing only one thing; he must exude a completely confident, winning attitude. He was given $200 to play with so he had nothing to lose, and he went in and played “as if he was a winner.” He was confident, boisterous, and played with no fear or worries. Well guess what? He won, and won, and won! He even started attracting other people around him who were mesmerized by his confidence, charisma, and his winning.

The host admitted he was amazed at how this “winning attitude” attracted success and people to him. He said that he just went for it and even “hammed it up” a bit, which made it work even better. He also played other games and won as well. The experts said that in a physical sense, he played like he should have, with no fears or concerns. And in an “energy sense,” he turned on his magnetic force and began moving the universe toward his favor.

The previous example shows just how powerful your attitude, or more specifically, the thoughts that make up your attitude, really are. If you put your attention on what you desire (attracting the opposite sex, being irresistible, being the ultimate romantic, winning, etc..) and not on what you fear (being shy, embarrassed, awkward, uncomfortable, losing, etc..), then your attitude shifts, which produces not only physical changes in you (you carry yourself with more confidence and charisma), but it also puts the “thought energy” out there which attracts people and situations that support your desires. It’s very much a “win/win” opportunity for you.

Write out how you want to be and what you want to attract. Then, focus your attention on these statements and thoughts and do not entertain any ideas to the contrary. When thoughts enter your mind that make you doubt your attracting ability, acknowledge them, then cast them out like the trash. Bring your thoughts back to these truths that you have written. You are literally rewriting, rethinking yourself into a new person, with new attitudes, and a new attracting force that will prove irresistible in this sometimes negative, fear filled world.

You will stand out like other charismatic people because you refuse to be run by thoughts of fear and inadequacy. Instead, you are driven by thoughts of beauty, romance, confidence, and desire which attracts people and situations to support you. You are building a new attitude, a new self-esteem that will draw others to you like gravity. It is simply a matter of choice. Choose to think of yourself as an attracting force, and you will attract. Know what you want to attract and focus on that, and you will attract what you desire into your life. Have that “winning attitude” about life, and you’ll be a winner all your life.

Is it really that simple? Yes, if you can keep your thoughts on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Decide what you want, focus on these people and things as if you already have them, don’t let thoughts to the contrary enter in, and you’ll have the life you’ve always wanted.

Plastic Surgery Alters The Course Of Your Life

By Julie Cox

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. (Actually, it is 1,627 words, but who’s counting). What happens if you change some part of the picture? It changes the meaning and it alters your perception. A face is no different. According to the principles of face reading, every feature on your face correlates with and describes a different part of your personality. Each feature on the face is an accurate reflection of your personality, your strengths, weaknesses, thoughts, behaviors, stress level, health issues and more. Changing your appearance in the slightest way can have a profound affect on your personality, and it will change the course of your life.

With the recent popularity of aesthetic surgery among virtually all demographics, it is important to clarify exactly what happens when someone alters a feature on their face. The consequences could be positive or it could have dramatic negative effects on your life. There is no shortage of case studies for face readers with the rising popularity of shows such as Extreme Makeover and the constant parade of celebrity makeovers on the covers of magazines. There are two reasons for aesthetic surgery—internal or external pressures. An example of an external motivation could be the need to please others. This comes from a belief that a change in the outward appearance will save a marriage or a career. This is rarely the case. An internal motivation may be described as negative feelings about personal deficiencies and a corresponding desire to effect a change.

All people read faces to a certain degree. They make judgments about personalities just by the way a person’s face looks. (Ever watch a movie where the villain didn’t look like a bad guy and the character didn’t work?) When people change a facial feature, people are going to consider them differently, reinforcing the internal feelings being felt by the person who had the surgery. This change manifests in their outward behavior and when they act different, their life changes.

Consider this. One common procedure will change the shape of the mouth. A few injections could change the meaning of your mouth in an instant. Recently, a popular celebrity who was known to be optimistic and carefree changed her lips. The new shape of her lips caused her to be seen as pessimistic and mistrusting. Since that time, her relationships have failed and her movie flopped. If you change your face—you will change your life. This is not to say that change is wrong, change can be good. The challenge is to ensure that the change will affect you positively.

Eyes reveal our mental and emotional outlook. In the case of an eye lift, a surgeon will ‘lift’ the outside corners of the eyes on a patient. When the outside corners of the eyes are higher than the inside (the eyes appear to ‘slant up’), this indicates someone who sees the cup as half full. They will try things other would not even consider, because they have a never-say-fail attitude. It has been proven that people who have had this surgery are more optimistic and positive than they were prior to the change. One reason for this is that they naturally feel better about themselves. People see them as more positive and treat them accordingly, which reinforces the behavior. They change the course of their life because they will now attempt to do things that they would not have considered before the procedure.

A more prominent example of a life changing feature is the nose. Noses reflect our attitudes towards work and money, our generosity levels, energy and ego. If you have a desire to be less combative, you may choose to have the arch removed from just below the bridge of the nose. In extreme cases, a person can actually “cut off their nose to spite their face”. If one changes the feature to something much less than what they began with, they will sabotage their abilities in their work life and their efforts to make money. In cases of severe rhinoplasty, where the feature is altered beyond recognition, this person has a feeling of unworthiness. They demonstrate this by cutting off their “profit center “ (the nose). They take for granted the income will always be there or they do not care. Either way, the fact that the nose is small and slender has now changed the way they behave towards money and work. This means they have to work twice ashard to barely make what they did in the past. In dealing with males, surgeons are advised to take a conservative approach in rhinoplasty. That is because noses reflect our ego and surgeons have learned that drastic changes in the nose will often result in negative effects in personality and behavior.

When you change the face, the corresponding personality trait will change as well. People will treat you differently and your life will change. A person who is considering plastic surgery should consult with a professional face reader as well as the surgeon to give close consideration to the personality changes that will result from aesthetic surgery.

Is your brain you really necessary? The reason for my apparently absurd question is the remarkable research conducted at the University of Sheffield by neurology professor the late Dr. John Lorber.

When Sheffield’s campus doctor was treating one of the mathematics students for a minor ailment, he noticed that the student’s head was a little larger than normal. The doctor referred the student to professor Lorber for further examination.

The student in question was academically bright, had a reported IQ of 126 and was expected to graduate. When he was examined by CAT-scan, however, Lorber discovered that he had virtually no brain at all.

Instead of two hemispheres filling the cranial cavity, some 4.5 centimetres deep, the student had less than 1 millimetre of cerebral tissue covering the top of his spinal column. The student was suffering from hydrocephalus, the condition in which the cerebrospinal fluid, instead of circulating around the brain and entering the bloodstream, becomes dammed up inside.

Normally, the condition is fatal in the first months of childhood. Even where an individual survives he or she is usually seriously handicapped. Somehow, though, the Sheffield student had lived a perfectly normal life and went on to gain an honours degree in mathematics. This case is by no means as rare as it seems. In 1970, a New Yorker died at the age of 35. He had left school with no academic achievements, but had worked at manual jobs such as building janitor, and was a popular figure in his neighbourhood. Tenants of the building where he worked described him as passing the days performing his routine chores, such as tending the boiler, and reading the tabloid newspapers. When an autopsy was performed to determine the cause of his premature death he, too, was found to have practically no brain at all.

Professor Lorber has identified several hundred people who have very small cerebral hemispheres but who appear to be normal intelligent individuals. Some of them he describes as having ‘no detectable brain’, yet they have scored up to 120 on IQ tests. No-one knows how people with ‘no detectable brain’ are able to function at all, let alone to graduate in mathematics, but there are a couple theories. One idea is that there is such a high level of redundancy of function in the normal brain that what little remains is able to learn to deputise for the missing hemispheres.

Another, similar, suggestion is the old idea that we only use a small percentage of our brains anyway—perhaps as little as 10 per cent. The trouble with these ideas is that more recent research seems to contradict them. The functions of the brain have been mapped comprehensively and although there is some redundancy there is also a high degree of specialisation—the motor area and the visual cortex being highly specific for instance. Similarly, the idea that we ‘only use 10 per cent of our brain’ is a misunderstanding dating from research in the 1930s in which the functions of large areas of the cortex could not be determined and were dubbed ‘silent’, when in fact they are linked with important functions like speech and abstract thinking.

The other interesting thing about Lorber’s findings is that they remind us of the mystery of memory. At first it was thought that memory would have some physical substrate in the brain, like the memory chips in a PC. But extensive investigation of the brain has turned up the surprising fact that memory is not located in any one area or in a specific substrate. As one eminent neurologist put it, ‘memory is everywhere in the brain and nowhere.’ But if the brain is not a mechanism for classifying and storing experiences and analysing them to enable us to live our lives then what on earth is the brain for? And where is the seat of human intelligence? Where is the mind?

One of the few biologists to propose a radically novel approach to these questions is Dr Rupert Sheldrake. In his book A New Science of Life Sheldrake rejected the idea that the brain is a warehouse for memories and suggested it is more like a radio receiver for tuning into the past. Memory is not a recording process in which a medium is altered to store records, but a journey that the mind makes into the past via the process of morphic resonance. Such a ‘radio’ receiver would require far fewer and less complex structures than a warehouse capable of storing and retrieving a lifetime of data.
