A boring life really, to look closely. I work and sleep. Nutrition comes under eating. But I like considering the obvious, since I think everything ought to be obvious to one who understands things properly. That won't fit in this box.

I know the gospel is true. President Monson is a prophet and the Book of Mormon is true.

I have found myself spending a lot of time on nutrition to learn sort of a lot, and sort of only a little that seems useful. I will keep working on it.

I have learned lately about the subconscious mind. It can be conditioned and taught, but you can't talk to it directly. Try telling it you have enough oxygen after holding your breath for a minute. It is actually listening to the oxygen in the bloodstream and not your conscious thoughts, just as an example. There are exercises designed to condition it directly. See how it affected a girl with a stutter, a man with post traumatic stress disorder and prison inmates here:

I have been once and it was fantastic. My brain learned how to flex a different way from an exercise designed to straighten out an imbalance, I get less headaches, one particular headache I used to get is gone, my temper is way down, not that it was crazy out of control, but I actually have reigned it in twice while it was flaring. Unheard of. I can consciously and subconsciously say this (the temper flare) seems dumb. Why am I doing this? I think I won't. And I don't. This is big stuff as far as I'm concerned. His son went from 1.8 to the Dean's list, then as a test all of his friends did. Tremendous in my view. I felt like I got the beginnings of training just watching the guy. He rubbed off on me a little. Then I went, will have to go again, a little expensive for now, but completely worth it.

The brain learned a trick, liked it, preferred it, and kept it. He worked on himself to program knowingly incorrectly, and he could only feel off for a while, the subconscious didn't like it, and stabilized to its preferred state. The brain, the subconscious part, the part that likes chocolate even when you think you should resist and won't stay on a diet, yeah, that part, can be taught, conditioned, schooled, even relatively directly, but certainly indirectly by our daily lives. I had no idea of this 3 weeks ago, certainly not at this level.

Here is another cool interview.

Joseph Smith said we can be saved no faster than we can gain knowledge. This knowledge seems to be timely for me. Possibly it is timely for someone else as well.

The ramifications are tremendous. People freed from addictions? From past emotional pain? From programming, abandonment issues they don't even know about but the fingerprint remains on the brainwaves? The list goes on. Just by teaching the brain to activate some centers and slow others down in unconscious centers using conscious feedback mechanisms? It is that cool.
