Content of the brain Cultural norms and values: whát you think
Colorblindthinking The brain that is free of the content can see what is going on: hów you think
Part 1: Time experience of the brain Depending on the culture Determines how we lead our lives • Monochrome - past-present-future (linear experience of time) • Polychrome - now In fact, there is only the NOW
Lineartime experience • Past - positive • Past - negative • Present - enjoythe moment • Present - experience as fate • Future - positive • Future - positive Transcendental future (past lives)
PTSD / lifestyle negative past - present - no future (unhealthyenjoyment) positive past - present - positivefuture
Part 2: the thinking • Content • Operation (thought process) • Effects and results • The 'me'
The contents of the brain • Hereditary predisposition - DNA • Senses (brains react with thoughts) • Experiences (stored as reminders) • Collected (book) knowledge The content of the brain is old, coincidence and changes continuously
The working of thinking Words • Measure • Weigh • CompareThe brain judges and condemns
The working of thinking Images • Past • Future
Effects and results • Practical application
Effects and results • Practical application • Standards, values, rules, rituals, religions, buildings, art, technology, medicine, politics, money, etc.
The cultural background differs the basis is the same
Behaviour Construction - instinctLearned - culture behaviour
Body with conscious / unconsciously working brain 0 years: refleximage from experienceorigin of thinking 4 years: ‘ik’-besef 7 years: basic norms and values system through reward and punishment
4 years: thought arises about who and what 'I' am The ‘me’ (self image)
From: There are thoughts To: I have thoughts
The self-image are thoughts in which the 'I' is separate from thinking: I am shy, so I do not dare I have bad thoughts and bring them under control I put myself at ease I give my unpleasant experience a 'place'
The content of the brain is the end result It has no core and is not a backpack
Cultural differences Western: I'm hungryArabic: am hungry The brain is addressed to 'me'/ God/the Prophet Individualism - me Collectivity - together
You and me ‘my' brain is as'I' see 'myself' if'I' wants you to see 'me' as‘your’ brain is as andsees ‘itself’ asandsees ‘me’ as
Conflicts in the brain outside = inside = outside
Conflict when ‘I’(contents of thebrain) want to achieve something or want to get rid of something
The current problems are the answer on the contents of our brains.
Does the brain play a game with itself? Is it possible to 'let go' of something from the past?
IS IT POSSIBLE TOSEE WHAT IS GOINGON?
Summary part 2 • Thought is limited / limited • There is no "I" that is separate from thinking • Every brain looks through an old, colored pair of glasses • There are different opinions and ideas • Nobody / everyone is right
Part 3: analysis (research) What happens when you are afraid and how do you deal with that?
Habit of the brain: solve problems When we don’t have a problem, we • Think about a new problem • Chewing it out • Until it’s solved, disappeared or no interest • Switch to a different problem
What happens in case of fear (I want to get rid of it)or fun (want to hold / get more of it)? ThoughtFeeling
ThoughtFeeling Thought Thought Thought Thought Thought Thought Thought Thought
What happens during analysis? • The content of thinking thinks about its own content. • Within the limited frame of thought it searches for an answer to the problem. • The answer is in line with the conceptual framework.
What happens with fear? In case of danger: fight / flight response or 'freeze' If the brain has 'short circuit': quiet breathing
Is there fear in the NOW? There is fear when the brain brings in the factor TIME.
Fear is a thought that shifts attention from the NOW to an imaginary future. In fact, only the NOW exists.
What happens when the brain allows the first thought or the first feeling to exist without makinga network? It is not about accepting or 'letting go' ... OBSERVE WITHOUT REVIEWS THE MOVEMENT OFTHE BRAIN
Part 4 • Values • Opportunities • Accumulated result • From concept to awareness • Conclusion
Faith A believer can denote a follower of another faith, a non-believer or someone who has abandoned his faith as heathen.
Faith invents -> prayer houses, <- worship (church, mosque, synagogue)rituals, holy books invents -> different countries <- fightsfor What does the brain believe about reward and punishment, money, sex, the elderly, the environment, honest sharing, symbolism, etc.?
There are thousands of opinions There are thousands of questions There are thousands of answers So for every problem there is an answer that fits in the thinking pattern of a brain.
