The First and Second Feedback Loops deal with intentional thinking. They deal with the conscious brain.
It turns out we also have an Unaware Brain. Here is an example of the effects of the Unaware Brain...
Dr. Gregory Burns of Emory University placed people in a setting where they had to respond to a visual screen by moving their right or their left index finger. At the same time a tube was placed in their mouth that either gave them a burst of water or sweet kool aid. Dr. Burns was specifically looking at a group of people he calls "learners"...people who have the healthy connections in their brain.
The screen and the liquid seemed to give a random pattern to the conscious (logical) part of the brain. However, the "unaware brain" did recognize that a left index finger triggered a burst of sweet kool aid. In every case, "learners" would "involuntarily and without awareness" suddenly rapidly move their left index finger...the "unaware" part of the brain took direct control of physical movement.
Here are seven conclusions about the Unaware Brain that will be applied in the following two sections...
1. The Unaware Brain works according to the four God-given principles
-The Unaware Brain "models".
-Without effort, the Unaware Brain works according to Causality, Non-contradiction, Growth, and Contrastive Thinking
-We have seen the Bible was written according to these four God-given principles.
-The Unaware Brain looks at EVERYTHING (contrastive) for causal relationships.
-It removes patterns if they contradict.
-The Unaware Brain gets to the conclusion very rapidly.
2. The Unaware Brain does NOT work according to good and evil
-The Unaware Brain is looking for predictable patterns regardless of the moral result
3. The Unaware Brain ONLY takes information through the five senses
-The Unaware Brain is the same brain that an animal has.
-Whenever you get lost with this information, start with the fact that an animal has an Unaware Brain...
-Animals aren't moral...neither is the Unaware Brain
-Animals don't intentionally REMEMBER or IMAGINE...neither does the Unaware Brain
-Animals don't have a Mind/Soul...neither does the Unaware Brain
-Animals are flesh...so is the Unaware Brain
4. The Unaware Brain does NOT discriminate between REAL and IMAGINARY information
-The Unaware Brain treats EVERYTHING the SAME
-The quickest way to know that you are speaking to someone's conscious brain is if they say, "That isn't real."
5. The Unaware Brain OBSERVES the conscious brain externally
-The Unaware Brain does NOT know what the conscious brain is thinking until one of the five senses is involved.
(The Unaware Brain gets to the conclusion of a matter quickly and then looks to see if the conscious brain "gets it". However, it can ONLY know if the conscious brain gets it through the individual's SAY and/or DO. This has WIDE implications which we will cover in detail in the following sections. Let's finish the last two conclusions so we can get to the fun stuff...)
6. The Unaware Brain can be "primed" through intentionally REMEMBERING, IMAGINING, or EXPERIENCING
-We can put specific EXPERIENCES in front of our Unaware Brain in order to build Profitable patterns...as well as Unprofitable patterns. (EXPERIENCE is external.)
-We can also intentionally REMEMBER and IMAGINE with our conscious brain to get the same benefit IF WE FOCUS ON ONE OF THE FIVE SENSES. (It is NOT enough to imagine or remember something...you have to consciously focus and "experience" the smell, taste, touch, sound, or sight in detail in order for the Unaware Brain to "experience" the same information.)
7. The Unaware Brain is constantly getting "primed" whether you are aware of it or not
-For example, racism mostly takes place in the Unaware Brain. The Unaware Brain recognizes a pattern that people of a certain race are portrayed as criminals and dangerous. (Notice, it does not matter to the Unaware Brain that the portrayals are fictional. These portrayals are "priming" the Unaware Brain to this racist conclusion.) Consequently, the person physically reacts to someone of another race in a manner they are not conscious of...which the Unaware Brain of the person of the other race picks up on, yet can't consciously explain WHY they believe the first person is a racist. You are constantly priming your Unaware Brain...the only question is WHAT are you putting in front of your Unaware Brain?
8. The Unaware Brain communicates physically
-The Unaware Brain causes the person to FEEL something
-The Unaware Brain causes the person to unconsciously move body parts (The clicking index finger in the sweet kool-aid test by Dr. Gregory Burns of Emory University)
-The Unaware Brain causes the person to blurt out words without knowing WHY
-The Unaware Brain "juices" the individual when the correct Words are put to the Unaware Brain's feelings. (By "juicing", I mean the Unaware Brain releases chemicals that cause euphoria and/or alertness.)
