The AMYGDALA

The Amygdala (ah-MIG-doll-uh) is a little "nut shaped" organ (and part of your brain) located about one inch inside from the side of your ears. You have two amydalae, one for the left brain hemisphere, and another for the right hemisphere. When the front part of your amygdala is turned on you experience POSITIVE emotion. When the back part of your amygdala is turned on, you experience NEGATIVE emotion. The trick is to Click Click Click your Amygdala Forward and experience continuous positive brain-power fun.

 

 

 

 

MAIN BRAIN PARTS

 The human brain is really 3 brains in 1. It is a reptile brain (your brain stem) surrounded by an emotional/social mammal brain, further surrounded by your big wrinkly primate brain which computes more advanced thinking. The front 1/3 portion of this primate brain, the part from your ears forward, is the most advanced part of your brain called THE FRONTAL LOBES. It is this part which makes humans unique and allows conceptual and abstract thinking.

 

 

 

 

FRONTAL LOBES POP!!!

 

It is the frontal lobes which allows the "transcendence phenomenon" or "popping your frontals" (going beyond where you are at, big time) has been historically labled "enlightenment" "EUREKA!" "nirvana" "satori" "AHHHHHH HAAA!". You get the picture. But it is really a function of the brain, and science knows what makes it happen. It happens when you get a major increase of frontal lobes activity. You can make it happen if you know how your brain works. Simple!

 

 

How do I know if my advanced frontal lobes are ON?

Your amygdala is an automatic BRAIN THERMOSTAT. It automatically tells you how much of your brain has been turned on by your EMOTIONS. Happy emotions indicate advanced frontal lobes circuits are connected. Miserable emotions indicate that you are in puny reptile brain circuits. Emotions are just like those indicator lights in your car "Oil Pressure" "Temperature". When positive emotion is low, advanced brain fuction is low. Negative emotion (fear, anger, depression, boredom) is a warning signal: "Turn on Frontal Lobes to get going!." Positive emotion [happy] is a built in REWARD MECHANISM to encourage you to keep frontal lobes advanced circuits open; "Keep it up!!" This is nature's brilliant method for encouraging further evolution of wo/mankind and billions of human brains.
