Plenary #110): Brainwaves and the Creative Process moto racer uiq key gen

We know that the brainwave pattern of peak performance is one aspect of the Awakened Mind. The “Ah-Ha” Experience, one of the strongest yet often briefest, most elusive, and highly desired creative phenomenon – sought after as both the internal proof as well as inner source of personal inspiration – is an exaggerated, spontaneous, and instant flare of a high amplitude very organized and stable Awakened Mind. An “Ah-Ha Loop” is a consecutive series of these particular Awakened Mind flares, intentionally stimulated as many as a dozen times in a row, to more deeply embed this creative state. The creative process itself, whether it lasts for a minute, an hour, or a day, can be broken down into a series of deep internal dives where the conscious beta mind retrieves material from the subconscious and even unconscious, bringing it up to awareness and manifestation. This Plenary Talk will explore the brainwaves of creativity both theoretically and experientially.moto racer uiq key gen

EEG Foundations Course #227): Training the Awakened Mind moto racer uiq key gen

Anna’s unique contribution to neurofeedback is the marriage of science and spirituality. Working with both the state and content of consciousness, she uses the Mind Mirror III EEG to identify and train higher states. In this half hour Anna will demonstrate the Mind Mirror and detail her work in training the Awakened Mind.moto racer uiq key gen

The Evolved Mind; Where Awakened Minds go when they want to go higher

In this plenary I will talk about one of the leading edges of my work - the development of the awakened mind into the evolved mind. Sometimes this involves working with a client over a longer period of time, someone who begins with an ordinary state of consciousness, works through many things and in a variety of ways, (working through my entire protocol), eventually developing an awakened mind; then continues practicing meditation and working on him/herself, eventually developing an evolved mind. In the other extreme of cases, clients will come with an already highly developed awakened mind or even and the evolved mind that just needs some work. Here are my job is simply fine tuning the evolved mind. Wherever my student or client is, I work on helping them to progress in their process.

The two most frequent techniques or methods I use for this are direct feedback and deeply spiritual meditation, thus involving both the state and the content of consciousness. But let me digress a little and explain what the evolved mind is. For those of you who are familiar with my work, I use the four components of beta, alpha, beta, and Delta to define the awakened mind. The awakened mind is that state that we discovered to be present in people of mastery -- both spiritual mastery such as yogis, swami's, advanced meditators, evolved Christian ministers -- individuals in higher spiritual states of consciousness regardless of their religion, belief system, practice, or technique -- and creative mastery. Artists, musicians, engineers, CEOs, inventors, and essentially anyone at the peak of their creativity experiences an awakened mind. Indeed, it is the pattern of the ah-ha experience -- that moment of deep and profound understanding.

The evolved mind is the pattern beyond the awakened mind. In the awakened mind you have access to the unconscious intuition, empathy, collective unconscious, and radar of the delta waves; the subconscious creative storehouse, inspiration, and personal spiritual connection of the theta waves; the bridging capacity, lucidity and vividness of imagery, sensualization ability, and relaxed detached awareness of the alpha waves; and the ability to consciously process thoughts in beta -- all at the same time. The necessary component in the interrelationship of these four capacities is the flow of information between the conscious, subconscious, and the unconscious. But the brain wave pattern of the awakened mind is still characterized by a small (albeit passable) bottleneck between the four categories of brain waves. What this means is that each category maintains its differentiation and separate identity and function.

As the individual evolves, this bottleneck gets smaller and smaller. Until eventually there are no bottlenecks, only undifferentiated union of beta, alpha, theta, and Delta.

Don't mistake this for the undifferentiated theta and Delta that characterizes the brain waves of an individual yet to develop an awakened mind. This merger is experienced as having less access to the subconscious material and the training necessary here is to raise the theta peak frequency, thereby differentiating it from the delta and giving the Anna individual greater access through the bridge of alpha to the contents of theta.

In the evolved mind, the delta turns inward and raises upward towards the conscious mind. In many spiritual traditions, there is a state of evolution where the individual attains individuation or self-realization where the unconscious becomes conscious. In the evolved mind there is no longer any unconscious. Even more of the frequencies of each category are activated in a very organized stable and consistent way. By presenting a unified, symmetrical field of brain wave frequencies, it provides a tangible demonstration through the brain wave pattern itself of non-dualistic union. In other words, the unconscious has become conscious, and there are no bottlenecks between the unconscious, the subconscious, and the conscious minds. The experience of this state is consistent with traditional descriptions of higher states of samadhi and Nirvana.

This is not a state that even masters maintain while actively involved in their everyday affairs. The experience of it is one of bliss. Nothing matters other than just being.

There are some variations on this pattern I will describe -- it is even possible to actively work within a variation of this pattern -- however it requires a small amount of category differentiation.

The development of the evolved mind is really just the next step after a lot of practice with the awakened mind. But you do not have to just sit and wait for this awakening or evolution to happen to you. Union with "source" or "Spirit" can be sought, or more accurately, can be allowed in to your awareness. I work with the assumption that universal knowledge or divine access is not only consistently available to us if we know where to look and how to access it, but would also like us to find it. In other words, it's right there for the taking - we just have to unblock the blocks and get out of our own way.

It is also important to say that I still believe some element of grace is involved in our journey to awakening -- that you cannot do it all in a predetermined scientific fashion. However, if we can scientifically speed up the development of the proper state by many years and we can work with content consciously, intentionally, and effectively, rather than just waiting for an act of grace, we have truly taken evolving the mind into the 21st century.

I will lead a portion of a meditation that is called ‘The Expansion and Contraction of Consciousness’. The principle behind this meditation is to allow you to expand your energy in order to connect with your higher self/Godhead/spiritual source/universal consciousness and then contract again into your finite incarnate being to bring that spirituality and infinite wisdom into the corporeal details of everyday life.moto racer uiq key gen
