Becoming
T/F« We become who we will Be and become, in conjunction
with the significant people in lives.
▲ True. Never forget and never underestimate the power
of who you come from and who You associate with. This
influence is extremely powerful. As this book is telling
you, in large part, you are Social Animals. You are
more than this of course but don’t underestimate, the
social part of who you are while you are here on earth.
Bias
T/F People have an inbuilt bias towards the static and status quo.
▲ True. You all will normally gravitate towards comfort
where and when you can find it. Work is called work
because it is usually not comfortable. Play is activity
that you call fun and not work. Resting and comfort are
natural but so is work and play. Live a balanced life if
possible, as best you can. It will be your attitude that
calls it work or play, drudge or fun.
Q, If true, how do you get people to move and work for their
betterment, and for their greater good? Explain.
▲ Yes, people do have these biases. It is normal and
unavoidable to be patterned with Conditioning, and
biases. From within persons’ mind and emotions they
will get urges, Desires, thoughts and ideas. It is up to
the individual person to choose from this stock of
material, and decide what they wish to make of their life.
Parents and Significant Others can try to influence,
mold and shape a person but in the end it is up to the
person themselves to act for the better life they can
see, imagine and act or work for, to progress towards.
Brain
Q, How many brain synaptic connections do I have? How
good, functional or effective are my synaptic connections?
…(is this relevant?)
▲ You brain is doing just fine. It functions well for a
person of 77 years on this planet. This is not relevant
for you to worry about.
Q, How important and or relevant are my actual experiences to
my brain to mind connections?
▲ As just answered this is not relevant for you to be
concerned about. For others, experience in this lifetime
is very important in how your brain and synapses are
“wired” (so called) The “Use it or loose it” saying is true.
How you use your brain-mind determines where it will
work well or not work so well. The wise person shapes
and directs their focus to get the progressive and
systematic brain-mind development that will pay off in
greater dividends leading them to achieve their more
important goals and objectives. You really can’t have
everything so you must be selective for what is
important to you in this lifetime. Do you choose trivial,
escape, fun stuff or do you choose matters of substance
to build a truly better life upon. Or do you balance it all.
T/F The brain-mind has a dopamine (and other chemicals)
reward center.
▲ True
Q, Does the ‘reward’ section, – part of my brain work OK?
▲ Yes it does but it is particularized for you and not others.
This is not relevant stuff for you to worry or be
concerned about, at this time of your long life.
T/F The main business of the brain is modeling. It’s propelled
by the desire for “limerance.” (author’s term) The desire for
the moment when the inner and the outer patterns mesh in
one mind,- (as in single-minded-ness.)
▲ True. Use the word ‘single-minded’, its’ more commonly
understood. [which is all about getting the subconscious
and the conscious mind working in synch together] Yes
the brain models things for you to help in understanding
what the meaning is to and for you. It is your guidance
system. Remember you can build and improve upon
your guidance system. Remember the language of your
subconscious mind is in the emotional feelings that are
sent to your body parts. Feel your feelings and come to
understand these feelings.
T/F The mental system is more geared towards predicting
rewards.

T/F Seniors are completely capable of new learning and new
growth. The brain is capable of creating new connections
and holding more information - explain
▲ Yes, this is basically true for many of the senior adults
in your country. This does of course differ from person

health and circumstance are important. In general a

those areas of interest where there is regular activity.
T/F Meditation can rewire the brain

this.
T/F There are two status economies, a daytime economy and
a nighttime economy.
▲ This is one way of looking at this and does contain an
interesting idea.
Q, if true, how do you reach both segments?

information choose a good marketer.
T/F (per author) the world is divided into two types of people.
A, Askers and B, Guessers
