Information used to be held by an elite few, the scholars and rulers of a time gone by. But now there is an excess of information available for everyone. Every piece of information is like a calorie. The brain, which has a natural love for acquiring information, slurps up the information wherever it can be found. Soon the brain is overwhelmed by the vast amount of information entering it. Information in its own right is not bad, no more than food is bad. But too much is too much, especially when the quality is not good.

Like fast food, you can get a lot of information cheap these days. Your mind, like your body, gets heavy and clogged up quickly if you don’t make good choices about what you feed it. Brain Wave Vibration is meant to help you stop processing information, almost like temporary information fast, so that you can begin to take control of your information consumption.

For real brain mastery, you must learn to see your life in the same way, realizing that all the difficult, ugly parts of life can become the compost from which grows your own fulfillment. The trick is to keep a positive mind so that all the beautiful possibilities of life can be seen.

Information Management

Mastering your brain essentially means controlling the nature of your brain waves. But how do you know you have brain waves? You cannot directly feel them. The only reason you know you have brain waves is because you have been told you do. Of course we could measure them if we had the right equipment, but few of us will have the experience of seeing our brain waves as they arc observed through advanced scientific equipment. In fact, even in that case, the scientist is not seeing the brain waves themselves. These waves arc invisible to all the senses; they can be translated into a measurable form only through scientific technology.

Does that mean you have to seek out a scientific laboratory or buy some expensive equipment to check on the health of your brain waves? Not at all. The evidence of your brain waves is all around you.

So one day, I decided I would do something about the problem. I began to clear the garbage away, one piece at a time. When all the trash had been hauled away, I buried it in a hole that I had dug in the mountains. I then planted pumpkin seeds in the ground covering the trash. Soon, big, beautiful pumpkins were growing there.

This was a huge moment of discovery for me it came at a moment when I felt truly hopeless about my life. In my early twenties, I had failed the college entrance exams three times. I realized that all I really needed was the opportunity to do something positive for people, and that something positive could even come from a pile of trash.

True brain mastery is the ability to see possibility, even where others see only trash. Those pumpkins grew so well precisely because the garbage had been there before; the trash added nutrients to the soil.

The phrase brain mastery probably makes you think of something slightly different than what I mean bv the term. Brain mastery does not mean being smart or being able to perform mental tricks. Rather, brain mastery is the ability to maintain a proper relationship between your brain and the outside world.

If you are a brain master, you have an almost uncanny ability to stay in the moment and to not be swept away by thoughts and emotions. You can control your attitude and keep a positive mind-set, regardless of the situation. And most importantly, a master of the brain never loses hope, no matter how dark the situation gets.

I remember one time when I was a young man there was a bridge under which people threw a lot ot garbage. The garbage just piled up week after week. People complained about the garbage, but no one ever did anything to change the situation.

Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.

Mark Twain, writer MY COMPUTER, I have two photos of two little boys, both about seven years of age. The pictures are very meaningful to me, although I don’t know either boy. One shows the face of a chubby little boy smiling blithely at the camera, and the other shows a picture of a starving boy sitting on parched earth with a vulture lurking in the background. These are pictures that represent the imbalance we have created in the world, an imbalance that reflects the incomplete use of our brains.

All the problems in the world were created by the human brain, and within the human brain lie all the answers. To me, these photos are symbolic of the root causes of suffering in the world. If all human problems result from the human brain, the brain can also solve them. Imbalance in the world is a reflection of the imbalance within our bodies and brains.

A few of us have talked about Oprah’s new online class with author/spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, in which they discuss Eckhart Tolle’s book, “A New Earth.”  It’s another way to talk about what we study as Dahn Healers.  Enjoy!
