Central Brain

Central Brain

In this, hypothalamus and pituitary gland and limbic system are involved. This controls food habits, thirst, and the temperature of our body. Now if you and I want to control ourselves we can control by changing our physiology. A minor change in
our physiology can produce unbelievable results. If you
are tilted towards left, generally you are bound to think
about the past. What internal communication we give will
be with reference to the past—people in the past, context
of the past, situation of the past—everything will be of
the past. Now if you change that posture and tilt towards
the right, everything including the eyeball, then you
will think about the future. You will refer to the future
context, future picture, and future situation—everything
in future. Now if you sit down straight on your back,then your central cord is in standing position. All chakras
will be in action and will be alert. This is the reason why
most of the yogasanas are done in a straight posture. It
provides coolness and calmness. Again, our right nose
takes positive or fire energy and similarly left nose cools
the energy. Therefore, in case you sleep on your left
side, you take in positive energy, which helps you in
digestion. In “Shiva Sutra”, a Hindu epic, Lord Shiva
is called “Ardhnareshwar” which means half male and
half female—the left part is female and right part is male.
Generally this is the reason why females remain in the
past. If a man and a woman go to a restaurant to have
dinner, even after having left the restaurant, the woman
will keep on talking about the food, about its ambience,
whether it was good or too good. Here, I say in my
seminars, your wife might fight over petty issues but she
will be like a rock when a big problem comes. Generally,
men are right-oriented and women are left-oriented.
However, if your son is too girlish, then ask him to play
the game such as Judo, Taekwondo, etc. and in case he
is too aggressive, ask him to learn gardening and try to
involve him in household chores.

The famous philosopher Simone de Beauvoir said that females are not born females. They are made females. Mother, family, and society start teaching them what to do and what not to do.

Cerebrum

Cerebrum

This is the supercomputer. The meaning of command depends upon the past experience, past patterns, value system, and perceptions that the individual has. Our cerebrum is divided into two parts—right and left. The right part constructs. Here construct means it thinks
about something which does not exist. It takes the image in imagination. We have discussed the use of this in the chapter “Catch the liars”. The second part is known as left brain. Authentically, the right brain creates and the left manages what the right has created. When the left brain digs up, then the right manages the situation. In case balance is not created between the left and the right brain, then that invites depression. There is no medicine for depression. The only medicine that doctors prescribe functions to augment and make a balance between the left and right brain. Our supercomputer has about 20,000 chips, but generally we use only 10% of the total. Yes, Albert Einstein could use 15% of the total usable chips.

Cerebellum

Cerebellum

It is the central part of the dynamo. Whenever the blood circulation is high, then electricity is produced. When you ride a bicycle which is dynamo fitted, have you noticed what happens to light? You must have observed when you increase the speed, the power of the dynamo increases Similarly, if you slow down the speed, then the power of the dynamo goes down. In the same way, if you increase the speed of the thought process, then the brain gets more blood. Our brain consumes twenty per cent of the oxygen that we inhale. So our brain needs thought process as well as physical activity. Like a dynamo, if you drive at a high speed, it gives more light and in case you drive at a low speed, it produces low light. Again, if you do not drive, the bicycle will not give you any light. The speed of blood in the mind is more when you are in peak states. That is the reason when you are in a peak state and anything happens, it gets anchored in our brain infinitely. Some teachers beat children with cane for any mistake. For many students the concepts of that particular question gets anchored on their hand. If you recall, then you will still remember for which concept your teacher had hit your hand with a stick. When a teacher takes up the stick then whole body goes into a response. That stick and the hurt gets anchored in the child’s brain and as a result the child starts hating the teacher. It all depends on how the student takes it. If the student takes it in a positive way, then the hurt and the cane becomes a stimulant to concentrated study. But this happens rarely.

The fundamental fact is that the moment the circulation of blood is higher, the awareness is more as the production of electricity is more. In fact, our subconscious brain is controlled by this electricity with the first ventricle and second ventricle. While sleeping, walking, running, our whole body is balanced with this dynamo function.

Story of USA and Starbucks

Story of USA and Starbucks

                                                                                           

Our brain always works on a subconscious level. I was 

travelling from Los Angeles to India. I had to leave
American Airways to catch Jet Airways for New Delhi.
The flight time was at 4.30 p.m. from Chicago airport.
My flight landed at Chicago airport at 1:30 p.m. I thought
I would have a cup of coffee at Starbucks while waiting.
But while going to Starbucks, my subconscious mind
asked me to check at the counter. When I asked about
the flight, the person said that the flight was about to take
off and the final announcement had been made. Do you
know why? There was a time difference from Los Angeles
to Chicago—Chicago time was three hours ahead. Our
subconscious always works.

Let us understand the function of the brain biologically.
Our brain is like a telephone exchange. It works like a supercomputer. It is like

an atomic reactor. It is the most   i m p o r t a n t  t o o l of the incredible human machine. Our brain has following parts:

• Cerebellum • Cerebrum • Brain Stem • Hind brain

HOW DOES YOUR BRAIN WORK

HOW DOES YOUR WORK

The seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement, 

in fact, of nervous functions in general are to be sought in 

      the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance.

                           Aristotle

Our behaviour is all about the way we respond. Our response to any event or happening is affected by our behaviour and attitude. The context that we give to
this is most important. Our action, reaction, or proaction, is entirely contextual. Have we ever asked, “How do we process information to the nervous system?” Our nervous
system is governed by sensory acuities. The following are the sensory acuities:

             (i) Eyes  (ii) Nose        (iii) Ears (iv)   Tongue      (v) Breathing pattern     (vi)  Lips

All the above sensory acuities sense the event according to the context. Now here is a job for the nervous system.

Be Focused to be Successful

                                     

                                         Be Focused to be Successful


                                   
                                                  
                                    Check your position. Where are you? Now see your

surroundings and feel what you have achieved. If you are satisfied, then OK; if not, then find the next level of your life.

The initial period of Eastman Kodak was downhill. He was not able to survive. He learnt how to handle accounts by dint of hard work. He got a job in a bank.

Generally, here the people become accomplished, but

in the case of Eastman Kodak, that was not the situation. I have already said that you get what you see.
You attract what you want to attract, your vision
decides your destiny. Once I was flying from Delhi to Mumbai.
The person next to me was the P. A. to late
Dhirubhai Ambani. I was just thrilled by
listening to the vision of Dhirubhai from
him when Indian Express tried to snub

him. Because of that, he became even more powerful. When he  was paralysed, he became more
powerful mentally. Just watch his reframing power. It is
not the event, but your vision of the event that makes
the difference. Whether it was created by God or by a
human being he challenged both. I always see him as the
master of problem management and the same concept is
known as disaster management in the corporate world.

First decide your goals and what you want to achieve.
Once you have decided your destination, decide what
are the different ways to create your SWOT (strength,
weakness, opportunity and threat) analysis. In SWOT,
strength and weakness are internal. You have a direct
control on these factors. But opportunities and threats are
external. While going to the next level, do what you want
to do, even if nobody helps you. Think and see that you are
alone and what and how best you can do as an individual.

i)                   Write down what you want.

ii)                 What resources you have?

iv)                When are you going to execute that idea into action?

Again, let me tell you that success is a continuous journey. The road to success is always under construction.

Ask with Conviction

                  Ask with Conviction

Whenever you ask anybody about anything, ask with a
belief, and with full conviction. Mohan Singh Oberoi
applied for a job in Hotel Cecil, Shimla. Cecil was being run
by D. W. Grobes. M. S. Oberoi directly met MrGrobes. He said that he could take

dictation. But that position was not vacant. Then suddenly he said, “I can do anything for value addition to your hotel.” His conviction was strong. Mr Grobes appointed him as an  office assistant. Here is the strong conviction now. Immediately he applied for accommodation. Mr Grobes got
irritated for a while but then noticed the courage of
this young man. He had the power to ask for whatever
he needed. Rest is history for the hotel industry.
