Neuroplasticity: The brain is plastic or changeable. This 8 minute video
will really get you thinking! #7minutes ๏ปฟ
There is a knowing that transcends even ‘thought’ creating manifestation.
Like the pulse of your Heartbeat. Beat for Peace. Life is becoming more
magical and miracles will be an every day accurance.
I hope people pay attention to his closing statement. We should not replace
one bad metaphor with another.
Saw him on ABC1 tv last night. Thanks for putting this on ๐
@humaner Hahaha, that’s what I told my teacher, too.
I am so happy to listen to Norman.. He is such an inspiration.. to me.. He
is saying that we really should reexamine.. this.. Even the relationship
between Brain and Culture.. Neuro-plasticity.. Resilient brain is also a
vulnerable brain.. I would like to sit with him for several hours.. and
then watch the changes and transformations..
like!
AND homophobia!!
@humaner knew*
Which suggestions? Be specific or don’t bother posting.
@Bestmanme08 I just checked that out on google and surprise surprise, the
page was “real liberal christian church”. No bias there then eh?
Amazing potentials from this new understanding of ourselves! Thank God
there is a science based educator who can bring this info to all of us.
I loved the Brain that Changes Itself. I highly recommend it.
Talk to Scientologists, Not the Church ones though, but the Independant ones
Google “mygenes.co.nz” !
AND star trek addiction.
Information is carried on fibre optics. Holographic projections. The eyes
in front of our head, I do believe, are lenses like a camera projecting a
thought formed and observed with the INNER EYE called the Third Eye upon
the photographic plate in the brain sending the code along the fibre optics
from the Pineal Gland to the back of the retina of the eye and … “Where
you Look, There You Are, Your Reality Awaits You.” At the same time, we are
not alone. wwwDOTflywithmeproductionsDOTcom
๐ I can assure you that I’m perfectly healthy. You seem quite angry.
There’s no reason for you to make assumptions about my beliefs about
abortion. I do believe that your intolerance is unhealthy however. Perhaps
you could take the time and explain the problem with homosexuality beyond a
one liner that doesn’t mean anything : “If the plumbing don’t fit it ain’t
legit!”
How is itt possible we missed it!! We didnt, we just lost it!! People of
the east and also budhist always knew. Ask a guru from india he will say
the same. Our brain, thoghts, feelings and capabilitys are not fixed. We
can learn, change and adapt, more than we think.
This is true, I was once at a seminar supported by the mental health
industry that was explaining a bit about neuroplasticity but the people who
were speaking were still in support of SSRIs. On one hand they were giving
some hope with the new discoveries of np but on the other they still
woulden’t tell the truth about perscription drugs and how they can further
complicate symtoms.
Like freewill…
Wonderful. As a Buddhist student of Psychology, I am relieved to such a
discovery. The misinformed dogma that is scientific materialism and it’s
subjective claim to objective reality, is riddled with narrow minded
logical fallacy. It is in the best interest of mankind that we move on.
he’s very smart
How might we use this for dimentia? and/or addictions? and also anxiety and
depression as well..
The point is it doesn’t change itself at all. “Thoughts” change the
physical brain, that is referring to the ‘mind’ – which is not the brain at
all.
I wonder if you “new” that the past tense of “know” is “knew.” ๐
When one can remove themselves from the creation of another box of form of
thought in matter, when it is not nurturing for the whole of Life, no
matter what name, name, name it is given, will begin to ‘see’ how
incredibly maliable, impermanent, and moveable we are as the Captains of
our bioelectromagnetic water body vessel/vehicle/ships sailing on the Seas
of Pure Energy of Light encodement.
There’s nothing wrong with homosexuality so if that were the case who
cares?
Tell you what, YOU and go and get YOUR fukin homophobia modified
Marshall McLuhan was talking about this years ago from the point of view of
mediums (technologies, extentions of self) being the message(altering sense
ratios). Humanity needs to stop talking (both internal and externally) to
awaken to its other self, the unconscious right brain awareness. Doidge is
bring it back into discussion… good job
@Bestmanme08 no doubt homophobia is also created by neuroplasticity.
Doidge is brilliant. The Bible stated aeons ago , ” As a person thinks, so
are they”. Doidge in his reporting of cutting edge research and healing
that seems miraculous, is walking in this heritage and Biblical heritage.
Norman you speak my non-language! Thank you so very much and am grateful to
see this today of all daze. I am a survivor of a TBI (traumatic brain
injury). I have a great sense of humour and say I got rid of all the trash
๐ You are putting in the language of man in this brief excerpt of some
talk you gave and what is said to me is what I already know to be true.
This is a psychiatrist and the author of the magnificent book ‘the brain
that changes itself’ and it is about the science of neuroplasticity, it is
not about religion! For goodness sake USE YOUR BRAIN!
Meditation pre-dates Buddhism. It is not the same thing this man is talking
about.
This is revolutionary in its entirety. I suffered three stroke last year
October 2011. It took me one full year to recover. When the doctors said
that I wouldn’t walk again, I chose to reject their verdict. Determination
wad key, faith wad the fuel, and action was the motor that all contributed
to me walking, recalling the past, and the ability to project my future.
Let us use our brain the way God wired it. I salute this doctor.
@Bestmanme08 What a pile of bs – I read that article, and it does not pass
per review from college student. Just look at it “an homosexual brain might
look more like a female”! Yes, a cranium might be quit confusing for sexing
(saying if a skeletum remain is one of a dude or a lady), for instance
masculinized female cranium are common… But this have so little to do
with gender and sexual identity and more to do with health problem, age and
living condition.
so can you remind me what harm there is in smoking a nice fat joint! thank
you neuroplasticity!
Sick people like you who feel that way often think there is nothing wrong
with abortion either. Even abortion of live babies born after a failed
abortion attempt. (If the plumbing don’t fit it ain’t legit!)
