I make this point now because this is the moment for us to go beyond the passive meditation technique you have just read about and learn to use meditation dynamically to solve some problems. You will now see why the simple exercise of visualizing an apple, or whatever else you choose, on a mental screen is so im- portant. Now, before you go to your level, think of something pleasant—no matter how trivial—that happened yes- terday or today.

Review it briefly in your mind, then go well into your level and project onto your mental screen the total incident. What were the sights, the smells, the sounds, and your feelings at that time? All the details. You will be surprised at the difference between your Beta memory of the incident and your Alpha recall of it.

It is almost as great as the difference between saying the word "swim" and actually swimming. What is the value of this? First, it is a steppingstone to something bigger, and second, it is useful in itself. Here is how you can use it: Think of something you own that is not lost but would take a little searching to find.

Your car keys, perhaps. Are they on your bureau, in your pocket, in the car? If you are not sure, go to your level, think back to when you had them last, and relive that moment. Now proceed forward in time and you will locate them if they are where you left them.

If someone else took them, you have another kind of problem to solve, which requires much more advanced techniques. He can settle it for himself in Alpha. These are typical of the small, everyday problems that this simple meditational technique can solve.

Now for a giant leap forward. We are going to con- nect a real event with a desirable one that you imagine —and see what becomes of the imaginary one. If you operate according to some very simple laws, the imagi- nary event will become real. Law Is You must desire that the event take place. Law 2 s You must believe the event can take place.

If your customer is overstocked with what you seD, you cannot reasonably believe he will be eager to buy. Ji you cannot believe the event can reasonably take place, your mind will be working against it. Law 3 s You must expect the event to take place. This is a subtle law. The first two are simple and pas- sive——this third one introduces some dynamics. It is possible to desire an event, believe it can take place, and still not expect it to take place.

You want your boss to be pleasant tomorrow, you know that he can be, but you may still be some distance from expecting it. This is where Mind Control and effective visualization come in, as we will see in a moment Law 4s You cannot create a problem. This is a basic, all-controlling law. You may trip up your boss and get him fired, but you will be entirely on your own—and in Beta. In Alpha it simply will not work.

If, at your meditative level, you try to tune in to some kind of intelligence that will assist in an evil design, it will be as fruitless as trying to tune a radio to a station that does not exist. Some accuse me of being a poUyanna on this point Thousands of people have smiled indulgently as I spoke of the utter impossibility of doing harm in Alpha, until they learned for themselves.

There is plenty of evil on this planet, and we humans perpetrate more than our share of it. This is done in Beta, not Alpha, not Theta, and probably not in Delta. My research has proved this. I never recommend wasting time, but if you must prove this for yourself, go to your level and try to give someone a headache. This does not answer all the questions you may have about the good and evil potentials of the mind. There will be more to say later. For the moment, choose an event that is a solution to a problem, that you desire, believe can come about and, with the following exer- cise, will learn to expect.

As an illustration, let us say that your boss has been ill-tempered lately. There are three steps to go through once you reach your level: Step 1s On your mental screen, thoroughly re-create a recent event which involved the problem.

Relive it for a moment Step 2s Gently push this scene off the screen to the right. Slide onto the screen another scene that will take place tomorrow. In this scene everyone around the boss is cheerful and the boss is on the receiving end of good news. He is clearly in a better mood now. Ji yon know specifically what was causing the problem, visualize the solution at work. Visualize it as vividly as you did the problem. Step 3s Now push this scene off the screen to the right and replace it with another from the left The boss is happy now, fully as pleasant as you know he can be.

Experience this scene as vividly as if it had ac- tually happened. Stay with it for a while, get the full feel of it Now, at the count of five you will be wide awake feeling better than before. You can be confident that you have just put forces to work for you in the direc- tion of creating the event you want Will this work always, invariably, without a hitch? However, here is what you will experience if you keep at it: One of your very earliest problem-solving meditation sessions will work.

When it does, who can say it was not a coincidence? After all, the event you chose had to be probable enough for you to believe it could materialize. Then it will work a second time, and a third. The "coincidences" will pile up. Go back to it and the coincidences multiply again. Further, as you gradually increase your skill you will notice that you will be able to believe and expect events that are less and less probable. In time, with practice, the results you achieve will be more and more astound- ing.

As you work on each problem, begin by briefly reliving your best previous successful experience. When an even better successful experience comes along, drop the earlier one and use the better one as your reference point. This way you will become "better and better," to use a phrase with an especially rich meaning for all of us in Mind Control. Tim Masters, a college student-taxi driver in Fort Lee, New Jersey, uses his waiting time between fares for meditation.

When local business is slow, he puts a solution on his mental screen—someone carrying suit- cases who wants to go to Kennedy Airport. Then it happened—a man with suitcases going to Kennedy.

Next time, I put this man on my screen, got that feeling you get when things are working, and along came another one for Kennedy. It works! It's like a winning streak that won't quit! I can take note of the question here but it will be dealt with in more detail later.

My experiments have shown that the deeper levels of our minds experience time flowing from left to right. In other words, the future is perceived as being on our left, the past on our right. It is tempting to go into tins now, but there are other things to do beforehand. But if I want a telephone number, I look it up. Perhaps some Mind Control graduates do use their skills for remembering telephone numbers but, as I said in the previous chapter, desire is important in making things work, and my desire to remember phone numbers is something less than spirited.

If I had to cross town every tune I needed a telephone number, my desire would perk up. It is basically unsound to use Mind Control tech- niques for anything but important matters because of that desire, belief, expectancy trilogy. But how many of us have memories as efficient as we would like?

Yours may already be improving in unexpected ways if you have mastered the techniques described in the previous two chapters. Your new ability to visualize and re-create past events while yon are in Alpha has a certain carry-over to Beta, so without any special ef- fort your mind may be working in new ways for you. Still, there is room for improvement In Mind Control classes we have a special visualiza- tion exercise.

He writes each word opposite a number, turns away from the blackboard, and recites them in order. Students call out any word and the lecturer gives the corresponding num- ber. This is not a parlor trick but a lesson in visualization. The lecturer has already memorized a word for each number; thus each number evokes a visual image of its corresponding word. We call these images "memory pegs.

The memory peg for ten is "toes"; if a student offers "snowball" as the tenth word, the resulting image may be a snowball on your toes. This is not difficult for a mind trained in visualization.

The students begin to learn the Memory Pegs by being at their level while the lecturer slowly repeats them. Then, when they later undertake to memorize them in Beta, the job is easier because the words seem familiar. I must omit the Memory Pegs from this book be- cause too much time and space would be needed here to learn them. You already have a powerful technique for improving your visualization and your memory at the same time: the mental screen.

Anything you believe you have forgotten is associated with an event If it is a name, the event is the time you heard or read it. All that you have to do, once you learn to work with your mental screen, is visualize a past event that surrounds an incident you believe you have forgotten, and it will be there. I say an incident you believe you have forgotten be- cause in reality you have not forgotten it at all.

You simply do not recall it There is a significant difference. We all see television commercials. There are so many of them and they are so brief that if we were asked to list five or ten that we saw during the past week we would be able to cite only three or four at the most A major way in which advertising creates sales is by causing us to "remember" a product below the level of awareness.

It is doubtful that we ever really forget anything. Our brain squirrels away images of the most trivial events. The more vivid the image and the more impor- tant it is to us, the more easily we recall it An electrode gently touching an exposed brain during surgery will trigger a long-"forgotten" event in all its details, so vividly that the sounds and smells and sights are actually experienced.

This, of course, is the brain being touched, not the mind. As real as the flashbacks that the brain offers up to the patient's awareness may be, he will know—something tells him—that he was not really reliving them. This is the mind at work—the super-observer, the interpreter—and no electrode has ever touched it The mind, unlike the tip of our nose, does not exist in a specific place.

To return to memory. Somewhere thousands of miles from where you are sitting, a leaf is falling from a tree. You will not remember or recall this event because you did not experience it nor is it important to you. How- ever, our brains record far more events than we realize. As you sit reading this book you are going through thousands of experiences of which you are not aware. To the extent that you are concentrating now, you are unaware of them.

We are conscious of these sensations but not aware of being conscious of them, which seems like a contradic- tion until we consider the case of a woman under gen- eral anesthesia. During the course of her pregnancy, this woman had developed an excellent rapport with her obstetrician. Between the two there was friendship and confidence. Came time for her delivery and she went routinely under general anesthesia and gave birth to a healthy baby.

Later, when her physician visited her in her hospital room, she was strangely distant, even hostile toward him. Neither she nor her physician could account for her changed attitude, and both were eager to find some explanation for it They decided to try, through hyp- nosis, to uncover some hidden memory that might ex- plain her sudden change. Under hypnosis she was led through time regression, from her most recent experience with her physician back to earlier ones. They did not have far to go.

In a deep trance, instead of skipping over the period when she was "unconscious" in the delivery room, she re- counted everything the doctor and nurses had said.

What they said in the presence of the anesthetized patient was at times clinically detached, at other times humorous, and at other times they expressed annoyance at the slow progress of her delivery. She was a thing, not a person; her feelings were not considered. After all, she was unconscious, wasn't she? I question whether it is possible ever to be uncon- scious. We either can or cannot recall what we expe- rience, but we are always experiencing and all experi- ences leave memories firmly printed on the brain.

You may not have looked at it, but it is there; you saw it out of the corner of your eye, so to speak. Perhaps, but probably n o t It is not and probably never will be important to you. But can you recall the name of that attractive person you met at dinner last week?

When you first heard the name, the hearing of it was an event. You need simply re-create the surrounding event on your Mental Screen, as I have explained, and you will hear the name again.

Relax, go to your level, create the screen, experience the event. This takes fifteen or twenty minutes. But we have another way, a sort of emergency method, which will take you instantly to a level of mind where recall of information will be easier.

This method involves a simple triggering mechanism which, once it becomes really yours, improves in ef- fectiveness as you use it Making it yours will require several meditation sessions to thoroughly internalize the procedure. Here is how simple it is: Just bring to- gether the thumb and first two fingers of either hand and your mind will instantly adjust to a deeper level.

Try it now and nothing will happen; it is not yet a trig- gering mechanism. To make it one, go to your level and say to yourself silently or aloud , "Whenever I join my fingers together like this"—now join them—"for a serious purpose I will instantly reach this level of mind to accomplish whatever I desire. Soon there will be a firm association in your mind between joining the thumb and two fingers and instantly reaching an effective meditation level.

Then, one day soon, you will try to recall something— someone's name, for example—and the name will not come. Try harder and it will even more stubbornly refuse to come.

Now relax. Realize that you remember and that you have a way of triggering recall, A teacher of fourth-graders in Denver uses the Men- tal Screen and the Three Fingers Technique to teach spelling. She covers about twenty words a week.

To test them, instead of going from one word to another and asking for the correct spelling, she asks the stu- dents to write down all the words they studied that week. Tim Masters, the college student-taxi driver men- tioned ia the last chapter, often gets passengers who want to go to addresses in neighboring towns where he has been so long ago that his memory of how to get there has dimmed.

Not many hurried passengers would understand if he went into meditation before starting off. But with his three fingers together, he "relives" the last time he drove there. He uses Speed Learning when he studies—you will read about tins in the next chapter—and he takes exams with his three fingers together.

There are other uses for this Three Fingers Tech- nique, which you will read about later. We use it in several unusual ways. It has been associated with other meditative disciplines for centuries.

The next time you see a painting or sculpture of a Far Eastern person—a Yogi, perhaps, sitting cross-legged in meditation—notice that the three fingers of his hands are similarly joined.

Briefly, this is how you will progress: You will learn to enter the meditative level; then, at that level, to create a mental screen, which is useful for various purposes, one of which is to recall information. Then, as a shortcut, you will learn the Three Fingers Technique for, among other things, instant recall.

Once you have accomplished this you will be ready for new ways of acquiring information, making recall even easier. Equally important, these new ways of learning will not only make recall easier but will both speed up and deepen your understanding of what you learn.

There are two learning techniques. Let's start with the simpler, though not necessarily the easier, one. The Three Fingers Technique, once it is so thorough- ly mastered that you can instantly reach your level and operate consciously there, can be used while you listen to a lecture or read a book. This will vastly improve concentration, and information will be implanted more firmly.

Later you will be able to recall it more easily at the Beta level and more easily still at the Alpha level. The other technique is not as simple, but you will be ready for it earlier in your practice of Mind Control. It has all the effectiveness of learning at the Alpha level plus the added reinforcement of learning at Beta.

You will need a tape recorder for this. Let us say that you have a complex chapter of a text- book to learn; you must not only remember but under- stand it During the first step, do not go into Alpha but remain at outer consciousness, Beta.

Now go to your level, play it back, and concentrate on your own voice as it recites the material. At an early stage of your Mind Control, particularly if you are not too familiar with the machine you are using, you may flip back to Beta when you push the playback button and find that the sound of the tape will make it more difficult to return to Alpha. By the time you do return, you will have missed part or all of the lesson. With practice, this is less likely to happen. Here are a few tips: Go to your level with your finger already on the button.

This will prevent your having to search for it with your eyes open. Have someone else press the playback for you when you give the signal. Use the Three Fingers Technique to speed up your re-entry into Alpha. The problem may appear more serious than it is. In fact it may actually be an indication of your progress. As you become more adept, the Alpha level itself will begin to feel different. It will feel more and more like Beta because you will be learning to use it consciously.

As you progress and recapture the earlier feeling of being at Alpha, you are really going to a deeper level, perhaps Theta. In Mind Control classes I have often seen graduates operating effectively at a deep level with eyes open, fully as awake as you are now, speaking clearly, asking and answering questions, cracking jokes. Back to your tape recording: For added reinforce- ment, let some time pass, several days if possible, then read the material again at Beta and play it back in Alpha.

The information will now be firmly yours. If you are working with others in learning Mind Control with this book, you may exchange tapes in a sort of division of labor to save time. This works per- fectly well, though there is a slight advantage to listen- ing to your own voice.

A successful Canadian life insurance agent no longer exasperates his clients by riffling through the papers in his briefcase to find answers to their questions about complex estate and tax problems. The tremendous array of facts he needs are on the tip of his tongue, thanks to Speed Learning and his three fingers. A trial lawyer in Detroit has "liberated" himself from notes when he sums up a complex case to a jury.

He records his summation and listens to it in Alpha the night before, then again early the next morning. Later, when he stands confidently before the jurors, he main- tains reassuring eye contact with them. A New York night club comedian changes his routine every day; he "comments" on the news. An hour be- fore show time he listens to a tape of himself and he is ready with twenty minutes of "spontaneous" high hu- mor.

Thanks to these techniques, thousands of stu- dents are studying less and learning more. The barriers of times the limitations of space, die laws of logic, the constraints of conscience are all swept away and we are gods of our own fleeting creations. Because what we create is uniquely ours, Freud placed central importance on our dreams.

Understand a man's dreams, he seemed to say, and you understand the man. In Mind Control we take dreams seriously, too, but in a different way because we leam to use our minds in different ways. Freud dealt with dreams mat we create spontaneously. Not Mind Control. Our interest is in deliberately creating dreams to solve specific prob- lems.

Because we program their subject matter before- hand, we interpret them differently—with spectacular results. Though this limits the spontaneity of our dream- ing experiences, we gain a significant freedom: greater control over our lives. When we interpret a dream which we preprogram, in addition to gaining insights into the pathology of our psyches, we find solutions to everyday problems. There are three steps to the Dream Control we teach, all involving a meditational level of mind.

The first is to learn to recall our dreams. Many say, 'T don't dream at all," but that is never true. Take away our dreams and in a few days mental and emotional troubles set in. When I began investigating the possible usefulness of dreams in problem solving back in , I was not at all sure what I would find. I had heard, as you have, many stories of premonitions occurring in dreams.

Caesar, as we all know, was warned in a dream about the "Ides of March," the very day, as it turned out, when he was assassinated.

And Lincoln too dreamed premonitions of his assassination. If these dreams and many others like them were unrepeatable accidents, then I was wasting my time. At one point I became strongly convinced that I was wasting my time.

I had been studying psychology— Freud, Adler, Jung—for about four years, and it began to appear that the more I studied, the less I knew. It was about two A. I tossed my book to the floor and went to bed, determined to waste no more time on use- less projects like studying the giants who disagreed even among themselves. From now on it would be my elec- tronics business and nothing else. I was neglecting it and money was short. About two hours later I was awakened by a dream.

It was not a series of events, like most dreams, but simply a light. My field of dream vision was, filled with midday sunlight, gold, very bright.

I opened my eyes and it was dark in my shadowy bedroom. I closed my eyes and it was bright again. I repeated this several times: eyes open, dark; eyes closed, bright. About the third or fourth time my eyes were closed I saw three numbers: 3 - 4 - 3 : Then another set of numbers: 3 - 7 - 3. And the next time the first set came back, and the time after that the second set. I wondered if life came to an end, like an electric bulb, in a sudden flash of light When I realized I was not dying I wanted to bring the light back to study it.

I changed my breath- ing, my position in bed, my level of mind; nothing worked. It continued to fade. Altogether, the light lasted about five minutes. Perhaps the numbers had a meaning. I lay awake the rest of the night trying to recall telephone numbers, ad- dresses, license numbers—anything that might give meaning to those numbers.

Today I have an effective way of finding out what dreams mean, but in those days I was still in the early stages of research. The following day, tired as I was after only two hours' sleep, I kept trying to connect the numbers to something I already knew. Now I must recount some trivial incidents, which led to the unraveling of the mystery and thence to an im- portant part of the Mind Control course. Fifteen minutes before closing time at my electronics shop, a friend dropped in to suggest we go out for coffee.

While he waited for me, my wife came by and said, "As long as you're going for coffee, why not go over to the Mexican side and pick up some rubbing al- cohol for me?

On the way, I told my friend about the dream, and while I was telling him, an idea occurred to me: Maybe what I saw was a lottery ticket number. We drove past a store which was headquarters for the Mexican lottery, but it was closing time and the shades were already pulled down. No matter, it was a silly idea anyway, and we drove a block farther to buy the alcohol for my wife.

Throughout the Republic of Mexico each of the hun- dreds of thousands of vendors, like this little store, receives tickets with the same first three numbers every month. This store was the only one in the entire nation which sold number The number was sold in Mexico City. As elated as I was, I looked this gift horse carefully in the mouth, and what I found was more valuable by far than the gift itself.

It was founda- tion for a solidly based conviction that my studies were worthwhile. Somehow I had made contact with Higher Intelligence. Maybe I had made contact with it many times before and not known; this time I knew. Consider the number of seemingly chance events that led to this. In a moment of despair, I dreamed of a number in so startling a way—with the light—that I had to recall it Then a friend dropped in to invite me for coffee and, tired as I was, I accepted.

My wife came by and asked me to bring rubbing alcohol, which led me to the only place in Mexico where that particular ticket was on sale. Mediclinic Windhoek Vacancies. Mediclinic Pietermaritzburg Vacancies. Mediclinic Bloemfontein Vacancies. Mediclinic Victoria Vacancies.
