"Is the Power of Suggestion a tool you use to Convince people your way?"

“Is The Power-of-Suggestion How You Make Money, Cement Relationships, & For Personal-Protection?”

· 1. Me: “Mike, (my teenage kid) do you intentionally use “Suggestions” to motivate yourself to ace exams & classes, and to influence, persuade & convince girls?”

· 2. Mike: “Pop, you just got my full ‘Attention’. I know another lesson is coming, but this sounds like a good one.”

· 3. Me: “Have you heard the expression, “Mind-over-matter?” It’s connects to the Power of Suggestion.”

· 4. Mike: “Is this going be like a lecture at school? Sure, I heard of “mind-over-matter”, it means how we think is what changes our lives. The mind overcomes the body?”

· 5. Me: “Your mother once ask me to define it. I answered, “If you aint got a Mind, then nothing-matters. Clowning around, but do you want to hear what Science says?”

· 6. Mike: “Will it help me Ace school, make lots of money,

and help me win the ‘hot-chicks?’. Yes, we still call them ‘chicks’ and spend all-day thinking about girls.”

· 7. Me: “Suggestion is the most powerful tool for getting everything you want out of your life. It’s easy and fast to use 24/7.

· Best of all you use Suggestion in school, in your career (law maybe), and to protect yourself from others using it against you. Interested?”

· 8. Mike: “Pop, you’re distracting me. And remember, I need simple examples to really learn to use the Power of Suggestion.”

· 9. Me: “Please take a few written notes because depending on memory is bull. Get this: what we Expect – Imagine – Believe (mostly Expect to happen) influences our thinking, judgment and behaviors.”

· 10. Mike: “That’s weird: what our mind “expects” to happen changes what really happens? Does it apply to tests and getting a scholarship to college, and the SAT?”

· 11. Me: “Exactly, the power of Suggestion has two sides,

Positively expecting to ace it with 100%, and Negatively

knowing you are going to get an “F”, or say 40% on it.”

· 12. Mike: “Like you quote Henry Ford, “If you think you’re right or you think you’re wrong – you’re right.”

· 13. Me: “Exactly like that. This recent research is hot and is the work of Maryanne Garry, professor at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zeeland. The other prof is

Irving Kirsch of Harvard Medical School.

· It appears in the June issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science Journal. It’s been tested & proven.”

· 14. Mike: “OK, I believe you. What do I have to know to use it, in other words, ‘What’s In It For Me?”

· 15. Me: “You get that this is “Deliberate Suggestion” where you use your ‘Willpower & Intention’ to influence either yourself or others. First thing to remember. It all depends on WHO the suggestion is coming from?”

· 16. Mike: “If the suggestion come from someone you trust or have power over you, it is stronger, right?”

· 17. Me: “You’re a Brainiac, Mike. A parent, teacher, your Boss makes a suggestion, and you see Mental-Movies in your Mind. You easily believe (cognition), and expect it to come true.

· That’s the “Behavior” part. You do what it takes to make it a reality in your life. You accept the suggestion.”

· 18. Mike: “Give me Steps to follow to influence myself to Ace exams and win all the Girls.”

· 19. Me: “Intention choose to S-M-I-L-E for 18-seconds to give you the mindset of positive expectations with both exams & attracting girls. Smiling is contagious & people smile along with you.

· More important: your brain is monitoring your Facial Expressions 24/7 to be in alignment with what you are showing as feelings. SMILE and you get more thoughts and feeling that make you smile. Frown & be scared…”

· 20. Mike: “First you convince yourself by smiling, & it influences the people around you to Trust you, right?”

Next step Pop.”

· 21. Me: “Mental Movies”. Create a ‘mental-visualization”. How? Daydream a successful conclusion. Example: see yourself getting the exam back with a large “A+” at the top.

· Example: see yourself going on a great date with your Hot-Chick. She is smiling & happy to be with you. You are coming across like a Rock-Star.”

· Daydream a positive Expectation and you are Priming your mental Pump for winning, success, & feeling good.”

· 22. Mike: “Is there a technical name for this, just so I know it exists?”

· 23. Me: “Response-Expectancies”. Scientists show that when you “Anticipate” your positive or negative “Outcome”, you change your thinking, judgment & behaviors to make it happen.”

· 24. Mike: “I believe it, but it sounds like Science-Fiction. Control your mind, and you make things happen your way. Is that what the Power of Suggestion really is?”

· 24. “Me: “Been in a diner and the waitress says, “The special for today is Grilled Salmon. I had it for lunch and it is so good it bring a smile to your face.”

· 25. Mike: “Sure, and I mostly take her suggestion because she knows and is giving me inside info.”

· 26. Me: “Didn’t she influence, persuade & convince you by her Suggestion? You could taste the great ‘grilled salmon, and “Expectation” changed your mind from ordering a thick steak.

· She changed your thinking & behavior by her deliberate Suggestion.”

· 27. Mike: “Got another way of looking at Suggestion?”

· 28. Me: “Call it “Casual Suggestion.” Will you write this down, it’s really powerful. “Whatever is Measured – Improves.” Google: the Howthorne Effect.

· 29. Mike: “Why the homework?”

· 30. Me: “Wanna win girls, get promotions in your career, and even get a Free scholarship?” The answer is to

Make other people feel special & important.

· When you ask questions about what others are doing, it’s more than a compliment, it makes them like you and try to impress you. See that Hawthorne Effect.”

· 31. Mike: “Wait. When you ignore people’s ideas, talents, & skills, you insult them and they won’t follow your suggestions. Makes sense, but our own ego gets in the ways, right?”

· 32. Me: Want to be a better Brainiac? Google: “Placebo Effect”. We believe doctors who give medicine. We make a complete recovery because of our faith in the physician.

Study ‘Placebos’ are you’ll really learn the power of suggestion.”

· 33. Mike: “Anything else I should remember on Suggestion?”

· 34. Me: “Affirmations. What you repetitious SAY to yourself is accepted by your mind (subconscious) and programs your thinking and behaviors.

· Use this easy 8-word Affirmation for positive ideas to Improve your life in school and in your career.

· “Why-is-everything-always-working-out-FOR-ME!”

Chant it four-times like a song.”

· 35. Mike: When and where? How many repetitions?”

· 36. “The more you use ‘self-talk’ to mentally repeat it, the greater the benefits. On ‘awakening’ and just before ‘falling asleep’ are great. During ‘lunch’ it helps you all day. Say it out-loud like a Chant. Affirmation are powerful.”

· See ya. “Whatever is measured - improves.” So write it down & review often.

"Who is Me-Myself & My Shadow?"

Notes to Me, Myself, & My Shadow

· 1. Our brain is a creator of ‘habits’. Its goal is to organize what we do as daily Routines on auto-pilot. That’s good & bad. The benefit of Habit is Not to have relearn daily how to drive, read, dress ourselves & do our job.

· 2. Excessive-Habits turn us into robots because it inhibits consciousness, learning & memory.

· 3. Our brain comes preloaded (hardwired) with systems dedicated to survival. It’s in our DNA. Our left-hemisphere features analysis, logic & reason.

· Righty values Pattern Recognition, emotions & creativity. They work together in planning, language, & memory.

· 4. Our Mind creates our reality. No big news, but our short & long-term memory creates our MIND. Alzheimer’s destroys memory & dissolves Mind. Whatever you learn & use to improve your memory, protects your mind, which is your reality.

· 5. Speedreading101.org focuses on a Peripheral (wide) Vision system to read. It complements ‘school-taught reading’ which is based on Foveal Cental (narrow) Vision. We require both.

· 6. Brainiacs: Please Remember these three fancy scientific terms:

· Superior Colliculus in your Midbrain. It receives visual signals from the Retina & creates our eye-movements.

· OptoKinetic Reflex: combines Smooth Pursuit & Saccades as eye-movements.

· Vistibulo-Ocular Reflex: movements of your head to keep words you read centered for clarity (acuity) of vision.

· 7. You can teach yourself the SpeedReading101.org system & comfortably read three (3) words at a time.

· School-taught reading a/k/a “Snailing,” trains us to read one-word-at-a-time. That’s the ‘Speed of Speech’ about 150 words per minute. That’s normal for college graduates.

· You can read & remember at a minimum of 450 words per minute – the ‘Speed-of-thought’. How fast can you read? A minimum of 450 words per minute. A top of 1,450 wpm with excellent comprehension & memory.

· 8. Benjamin Franklin used a kite to attract lightning. He saw that Electricity was the force of lightning. He did not invent the light bulb, but believed in the power of electricity to benefit mankind.

· “But Dr. Franklin, what good is your electricity?”

· “My dear lady, what good is a “new-born-baby?”

· 9. A second system you’ll discover to a make life-long-learning easy is called: “Six-Wh’s + a How”. It helps add 81% to your comprehension. Enough said.

· 10. Third system: to help add up to 85% to your permanent long-term memory. You’ll use it for life. Call it Peg & Link & depends on your ability to Daydream. Easy-Breezy.

· 11. The fourth and final system that you’ll take away is so easy you’ll laugh. But it’s a StressBuster & improves your Immune-System for health & longevity.

· 12. You do it and it makes you feel happy, upbeat and productive for two-hours. Call it the Thymus & Spleen Thump.

· 13. Last shot at you: “The faster you learn, the more you EARN.” Got it? And this gem – “You SNOOZE you lose.”

P.S. “You must choose between Safety-and-Growth 24/7.

Fear must be overcome again & again.” A. Maslow

“Do You Know These Einstein Quotes?”

· 1. “The only valuable thing is Intuition.”

· 2. “A Little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. But,

a Lot of knowledge is too.”

· 3. “If you cannot explain your amazing idea, invention or theory to a smart ten-year old, you may NOT be on to something.”

· 4. “It is better Cousin Harold, to be a man of Value (worth) than one of Success.”

· 5. “I am often wrong. But I forgive myself and move on. I never worry about the future. It will take care of its self.”

· 6. “I view Quantum Entanglement as “Spooky action at a distance”. Many disagree. Science will prevail.”

· 7. “Cousin Harold, there are two-ways to live-your-life. One is that your entire existence, and Everything you do and occurs in your life is a Miracle.

The second way to live your life is that Nothing that you do or experience matters. Your life is NOT a Miracle.

You are merely one of billions, another leaf on the tree-of-life or one more blade of grass. Do a “Thought-Experiment”. Which do you “Choose?”

· A. Einstein received the Nobel Prize is 1922 for the PhotoElectric Effect, not his theory of Relativity. The Nobel committee was uncertain that “Relativity” would prove a scientific truth.

Why Does Your Pride Mess-Up Learning & Memory?

“Does ‘Pride’ Mess-Up Learning & Self-Improvement?”

· 1. Are You ‘your’ Mind? Your ‘Mind’ resists whatever attempts to change your Comfort-Zone of beliefs & skills.

So what? It sees Speedreading101.org as an intruder.

· 2. Example: you may read as slow-as-molasses & paid to learn SpeedReading101.org. You Mind will sabotage any Changes to switch from ‘Snailing” (slow-school-reading) to SpeedReading101.org

· 3. Why? Scientific research indicates:

· 4. a) Physiological: we are ‘hardwired’ to make Change difficult & painful. It comes with your evolutionary brain dedicated to Survival - ‘as-is’.

· b) Psychological: your mind takes Pride - (call it Ownership) in what you already have & use. It creates ‘resistance’ to any Change from outside of the Mind.

· d) Emotional: Mind uses Denial-Anger-Bargaining & Depression to scare you into quitting. After these four emotions, your Mind finally accepts the ‘newness’ and changes.

· 5. Question: “So what? Who Cares? ‘Wiifm’ (What’s-In-It-For-Me?)”

· 6. Answer: “Understanding how your brain fights change, even when it’s an improvement & good for you, relaxes you. You know what to expect & refuse to become Stressed”.

· 7. “Last explanation: the scientific name for this is Homeostasis – ‘the same state’. All Change disturbs your mental, physical & emotional equilibrium – balance & harmony.

· 8. “Now your Mind fights to return to your old Comfort-Zone. Mind uses sabotage-and-negative-feelings to get your Attention.”

· 9. “Slow School-Taught learning is all your mind knows that works for survival in your environment. Your Mind creates Discomfort & Resistance to scare you into quitting.

· 10. “Your assignment, based on this knowledge of how the Mind works, is to ‘roll-with-the-punches’. Use your “Volition (willpower) & Grit, which is your power of ‘intention’ using persistence & determination.”

· 11. “How?” Learn and actively USE the NEW strategies of SpeedReading101.org. Refuse to quit in frustration. Your Mind wants to return to your OLD Comfort-Zone of Snailing (slow-learning).

· 12. “You respond with “True-Grit, No Quit.” That what makes successful SpeedReading101 graduates. In a short time, your Comfort-Zone Expands to include your New SpeedReading strategies. Makes sense?”

· 13. P.S. “The Faster you learn, the More you Earn.”

“Remember, you Snooze, you lose.” Refuse to be

a ‘scaredy-cat. You own Will-Power.”

Why you must NOT keep eye-contact to convince

Why You Must Not Keep Eye-Contact to Convince

· 1. Me: “Mike, what do you think about making & keeping eye-contact with people you talk to?”

· 2. Mike: “Pop, you always said it was critical if you want to influence & persuade.”

· 3. Me: “We all hate change, it creates fear & anxiety. Yet we know from observation that change is a constant in our lives. Conclusion: the latest research published in Psychological Science Oct. 2013, says, “Sorry, Eye-Contact in most situations creates Resistance and makes people defensive your point of view.”

· 4. Mike: “I like the idea that new proof allows the Scientists to admit they were wrong. It tells me to apologize and admit I was wrong too.”

· 5. Me: “Very sharp conclusion for a high school kid.

Now they are NOT saying in a pleasant conversation or with friends or family, to intentionally avoid looking them in the eye.

· Only when the person is your adversary, like a court case, or making a sales pitch, eye contact awakens subconscious Fight-or-Flight and anger neural networks.”

· 6. Mike: “I get it. It probably means the more they look in your eyes, the less they focus on your benefits & arguments, right Pop?”

· 7. Me: “Wow, that’s pretty damn smart. You’re on the dinero. When people already agree with you, eye-contact is great and reinforces empathy & mutual understanding.”

· 8. Mike: everybody hates to change their opinion, it’s human nature. It’s a battle of wits, and very Aggressive. It makes us want to fight back & say, “You cannot tell me what to do!”

· 9. Me: “The scientists didn’t explain the “Why?” as good as you, kid.”

· 10. Mike: “I think Eye-contact when you are convincing (influence & persuading) creates a Threat & Dominance.

That’s the last thing you want to happen in order to win.”

· 11. Me: “You force ‘unintended-consequences’ by staring in their face, and wanting them to make eye-contact. Gorillas, Chimps & Tarzan thump their Thymus & Attack to prove their individuality, right?”

· 12. Mike: “It even happens in the school-yard, and in professional sports, right Pop?”

· 13. Me: “If you ever become a politician, or have kids. It applies to parents especially. Don’t stare them down.”

· Professor Chen, the lead author, says, “Eye contact awakens ancient evolutionary tactics. It’s laying there in our DNA, at a subconscious & psychological level.”

· 14. Mike: “Thanks Pop, I needed that & intend to use it to become either a CEO or second-best, President of the U.S.”

P.S. “The faster you learn, the more you EARN. You SNOOZE, you lose.”

P.P.S. Abraham Maslow said: ”One can choose to go back to Safety, or forward toward Growth. It’s a constant choice between Safety & Growth. Fear must be overcome, again and again.”

"Do You Need More Energy About 3pm Because you're FADING?"

“Do you need More Energy About 3PM? Done.”

· 1. Mike: “Pop, tell me something new, about acing school?”

· 2. Me: “This is the best strategy, baby-easy 30-second exercise, in the past 10-years. It’s a Stress-Buster, and reboots your Life-Energy.

· Takes half-a-minute & you can do it yourself without a Guru. Some students do it 3x a day, others only once when they require an ‘energy-boost’.

· 3. Mike: “You tested this system at your workshops, and it didn’t kill anybody? Most of your best exercises are from Yoga, right?”

· 4. Me: “Right, about 2,000 years old. The name is Thymus-Thump, thymos from Greek, meaning energy.

· Located in the middle of your upper breastbone. The Thymus gland has 2-lobes (tissue) in behind your throat.

· Tarzan of the jungle, apes, & chimps thump (beat) their Thymus. It’s so easy it will seem familiar. The results are powerful. Do you have 30-seconds to energize yourself on-demand?”

· 5. Mike: “I like quick & easy to learn. Best of all, fast results like an aspirin. Show me Pop.”

· 6. Me: The introduction takes a couple of minutes, but the exercise is fun, fast and effective in a millisecond.”

· Your thymus gland is directly involved with your Immune system. It produces T-Cells for health & survival.”

· 7. Mike: “Excuse me, but WIIFM? (What’s in it for me?)”

· 8. Me: “You can use it whenever you need an energy-boost, when you feel anxious, panicky or even tired. It helps add 73% to your long-term memory, adds 15% to your comprehension, and doubles your Attention-Span, OK?”

· 9. Mike: “How about improving my testing?”

· 10. Me: “Do a Mind Experiment and discover for yourself. Different people use it for their own purposes. But the fact is, this strategy (simple system) produces positive results time-and-time again.

· 11. Mike: “Ok, How do I do it?”

· 12. Me: “No deep explanation, just step-by-step. Remember your “Intention” is the critical attitude. Example: ‘I am doing the thymus-thump to ace my SATs,

Or to win your job interview, or do a great presentation.”

· 13. Mike: “First step please.”

· 14. Me: “Tip of your tongue raised and touching the back of your upper teeth. Keep it there for the 30 seconds.

· 15. Mike: “I’m there, but it’s hard to talk.”

· 16. Me: “Great, stop talking.”

· Step 2: “Next, Rise Up on your toes to Elongate your spine. You are freeing up your vertebrae to expand & relax. Up-and-down – twice does it.”

· 17. Mike: “Nothing to it. Next Pop?”

· 18. Me: “Four quick Diaphragmatic breaths. Inhale and on exhaling, chant ‘Hum-m’, four-times. You relax & program your heart for a healthy heartbeat & your lungs for an increase of Oxygen & Glucose.”

· 19. Mike: “I use that breathing all-the-time to calm down before an exam.”

· 20. Me: “Now make a fist with both hands. Keep a Smile on your face (teeth & eyes). Make believe you’re Tarzan of the Apes & beat your chest for 15 seconds.

· Stop for 5 seconds, and do a second set of thumping or tapping for 15 more seconds. Get a 1-2-3 rhythm and don’t hurt yourself. Now test yourself.”

· 21. Mike: “Makes me want to laugh.”

· 22. Me: “Great, that’s part of exciting your thymus gland. Laugh as you thump. Can you keep your tongue up and

Chant, “Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha” until you really laugh?”

· 23. Mike: “Sure, I’m a brainiac. “Ha-Ha-double Ha-Ha”. Thirty-seconds, right. It’s easy and I already feel better.”

· 24. Me: “Last behavior and we’re done. Can you visualize yourself having a good time? Pretend you’re at the beach on a beautiful day? Visualization adds about 35% more energy to your exercise.”

· 25. Mike: “What if I forget it later and leave it out?”

· 26. Me: “The Thymus Thump works anyway. The secret is in you Tapping-Scratching or Thumping your chest.”

· 27. Mike: “Is that all there is?”

· 28. Me: “Done, your personal MAGIC is in implementing, & the experience itself. Mike, it’s trial-and-error. Do the Thymus Thump until you feel the improvement in your mind-body connection. Got it Mike?”

· For Brainiacs only: Did you know it is a tested & proven scientific fact that “whatever is measured improves”? Keep track in writing each time you use the Thymus Thump and you’ll feel these effects improve your life.”

P.S. Albert Einstein said: “Make things as simple as possible. But NO simplier.” Send me an email with your idea of what Al meant by “No-simplier” and win a valuable gift.
