"Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world man will have discovered fire."
—Teilhard de Chardin
Welcome to another of our free information sections from SUNRISE for you to enjoy and perhaps apply in your own personal journey of life.
This topic has been quickly put together for our readers to help you gain an understanding of the essential knowledge surrounding the way your brain and mind works and the likely problems that can afflict it, what you can do to avoid the problems, and how you can enhance the functions of the brain to achieve accelerated learning, modify your beliefs to become more balanced, and give you the power to adapt to a wider range of changes in the environment and other people. It will cover all the relevant groundwork on how your brain works, how behaviour is formed, the importance of positive emotions for improved memory and other functions. and the types of common behaviours generated by the brain when we choose to think in a particular way — in what we describe crudely speaking as left- or right-brain.
It is hoped by the end of this research topic that you will gain a better appreciation of the power you have to solving virtually any problems set before you. The fact that you can achieve anything thanks to your amazing brain through the choices you make today should inspire you to move dramatically ahead and make the most of your life, move society toward a more balanced future, and ensure the world is filled with the love and hope we all deserve.
If you would like to see other information included in this section (whether to improve on this topic or suggest new areas worthy of discussion), don't hesitate to send us a message.
Happy reading...and learning!
