Basically, what this thing is is an electroencephalograph machine that doesn’t take up an entire laboratory. The function of an EEG machine is to record the total electrical activity of the brain and then determine the wearers mood and levels of concentration. That is a big claim for such a small device, I was sceptical at first. But after playing this thing for almost a month now, I do not doubt it’s authenticity. 

Mind controlled video gaming sounds like something only future generations will enjoy, but the technology exists today. The Mindwave comes with 10 free apps, some of which are ‘mind trainers’ others are simple games. Unfortunately, there is not a great variety of these complementary apps and additional apps from Neurosky’s website are not cheap. To their credit though, Neurosky do seem to support and encourage third party development of new apps for their product. I hope in the near future we see more creative programmers deciding to have a crack at making and releasing new free apps for the Mindwave. 

This thing is a lot of fun and holds a lot of yet to be fulfilled potential. I believe the Mindwave would make a great gift for anyone with a computer and some spare time, regardless of age, gender or interests. Thanks to Neurosky (and other emerging brain-computer-interface-tech companies) the future is within our grasp, at least when it comes to gaming. 

How to Persuade People Using Dissonance

Formulated by Leon Festinger way back during the 50s, the cognitive dissonance theory explains how people naturally act in a manner that is consistent with their beliefs, attitudes and values. When people behave or find themselves in situations that are not consistent with their value system they naturally experience a state of discomfort. To get rid of this discomfort, they will try to change their attitudes or behaviors to regain a sense of stability and consistency. So when our beliefs, actions and attitudes are in-synch, we are in a state of harmony and equilibrium. When they don’t we feel dissonance and we will do anything to get back to a comfortable state. This is precisely the mechanism we want to be able to exploit, and you can achieve this by taking these steps.

Get a commitment

You can entice your prospects to make commitments that are public, affirmative, voluntary, and require effort.

Create dissonance

You create dissonance or imbalance by reminding your prospects they have not kept or are not keeping their commitment.

Offer a solution

Whenever you create dissonance, you always need to offer a way out. Show, prove, or explain how what you propose can reduce the dissonance your prospect feels.

How to Persuade People Through Obligation

Sometimes called “reciprocity,” the law of obligation exploits how we’re wired to return the favor when someone does us a favor. Even unsolicited gestures often cause us to feel a sense of urgency to repay the person who has created the mental or psychological debt. Sometimes we even end up exceeding the original gesture because the need to repay this debt is so overwhelming. When people don’t return the favor, other people see them as selfish, greedy, and heartless. It’s this pressure that causes people to conform to the rule of obligation.

This is a very simple law to implement, and all it takes is to create a need or obligation in the mind of your prospect. Think about what you can do, give or say that would create the feeling of indebtedness in someone’s mind.

How to Persuade People by Using Scarcity

Opportunities motivate people, and when they are scarce and less available this triggers in us the the urge to own it. When we feel that something we need or enjoy is being restricted, we react by trying to preserve or secure it. Scarcity is effective because it makes people feel like they will lose their opportunity if they don’t act immediately. The threat of such loss creates urgency in our decision making.

Here’s how you can create scarcity.

Announce deadlines

Give your prospects a deadline or a point of no return.

Provide limited space, numbers or access

People will be more motivated to take action if they feel like they are competing for a limited resource.

Point out potential loss

People will always overvalue something that is restricted.

Restrict freedom

We all want what we can’t have.

By using these simple psychological devices, you’ll be able to get people to see things your way and act in your favor. Like any other tool, success isn’t 100 percent guaranteed, and these techniques are blind to the user’s motives so they can be used as much for personal gain as they can be for the greater good. But if wielded effectively and responsibly, these techniques can increase your chances of success.

Where mind can go? 

Mind has three options where it can go.

One, mind can go to an event of past. If you’re walking in the street but thinking of an incident which happened earlier then mind is dwelling in the past.

Two, mind can go to future. If you’re doing something but you’re imagining an event which could happen later then your mind is in the future.

Three, mind can stay at present. If you’re working on a job and paying attention to that job then your mind is at present.

When mind is under your control? 

When mind stays at present it’s under your control. That means it’s helping you to finish the job you’ve in hand.   

When the mind goes to a past event and don’t participate in the job you’re in then it is not under your control.

Similarly when mind is imagining an event of future and don’t contribute in your present job then again it’s not under your control.

Why mind slips away from present? 

Mind slips away from present because what you are doing at present is something boring and difficult to hold the interest. This frequently happens when you’re doing a job which is not of your liking allowing mind to go beyond control.

Why mind wanders from here to there? 

Mind is power. A continuous flow of energy is there which makes it restless. Mind need to be controlled and utilized to offset that energy.

It’s difficult to keep your mind empty. Thoughts will come and go always. To keep the mind at one place it need to be occupied by something.

Problems with mind control methods 

Various methods are in practice to control mind but problem with these methods is that in the beginning they look good and enjoyable. But after few days we don’t feel like following those methods. Even if we follow we think like something is forced on us.

We feel the necessity to control mind but we don’t go for any action to control it or if we do we do it half-hearted. As a result we fail to achieve anything fruitful.

Best method to control mind is the one where we participate willingly. And we don’t participate willingly unless we find something of interest.

How to control mind? 

Go to a room of your choice where nobody can disturb you for next half an hour or so. Close the door and say to yourself:

“For next half an hour I will keep myself in this room and I’ll keep my mind within the boundary of this room”.

Now go through the items available in the room. See them, observe them. Do what ever you want to do with them. Just don’t let your mind go out of the room. If it does so, it’ll be out of your control.

Since you are in the room your mind should remain in the room along with you. Don’t allow your mind to think of anything which goes beyond the territory of the room. Best way to do this is to keep your mind occupied with the activity you are in.

Those proponents of multi-verses, multi-dimensional realities being created from our thoughts, would not find this too much of a stretch at all.  Proponents of “Enlightenment” could wrap their minds around this with little difficulty as well.  Many believe that as we “daydream” and “drift” from thought to thought we create the realities that our mind envisions.  So, if in one moment you are reading a book and get lost in thought and imagine being a knight in shining armor defending your true love of old, does this actually occur as you imagine it?  Many feel that we are the Gods of our World … that everything we see before us has been learned by us in school … even schooling would have to be imagined.  

When we are born, we can only imagine that which our parents have been imagining for years.  But somewhere in our life, we cease to live in our parent’s imagination and begin to create our own.  Perhaps it is around the time we turn 18, and are considered an adult.  From then on, we are responsible for our reality, and it is at that time that we take control of our planet, our life, our journey in this make-believe world, along with the stars and the universe as we see and imagine it.  This encourages the thought that our “handlers” must be careful in teaching us certain realities, and not others, since if we were trained improperly, we could actually cause a rift in the World Reality, and destroy the beliefs of others, who are only allowed to exist thanks to our own personal graciousness.  If enough people read the same book and started to dwell on the book’s reality, more so than the reality that surrounds us, we could cause egregious damage to the reality we have been raised to “know”.  

The problem, we are told, is that if we get too involved in our own odd realities, there is the chance that we could get locked into those realities and not be able to return to our own.  But isn’t that a bit of what “sleep” is all about?  We nod off, drift to another world, and live there until our alarm, or natural reflex causes us to “wake up” from that dream and wake up in our “standard reality” … or “default reality”.  Perhaps dying is the ultimate override to our “default reality” and allows us to journey into other imagined realities … or not.  Who is to say that we will go to some Nirvana, or “heaven” as the Christians would have us believe, or do we simply continue on, waking up in another reality, learning new ideas in a new realm of reality, until one day we have learned all there is to learn from this entire universe … do we then graduate to a totally new universe, perhaps one of solid matter instead of the anti-matter universe in which we currently thrive?

Imagine if you would, that our dimension here on Earth is just one of major trillions to the trillionth power of dimensions, and that in our “lifetime” it will be up to us to learn everything about every dimension that exists.  But how can that be?  With 7 billion “beings” thinking, and creating, and imagining new thoughts, new worlds, how can we ever negotiate all there is to learn?  And once we leave our present world will we run into new worlds with new ideas and more people imagining more dimensions?

Perhaps we are the future gods of this universe and others to come, in which we will ultimately control our worlds as we imagine Our Creator controls this one?  As we learn, our Creator sees and learns along with us, but perhaps the Creator needed fresh ideas, became bored, and that is why He/She/It created us … in order to provide new challenges, new thoughts, new dimensions, new worlds.  Imagine further that each dimension has new rules, new laws, new physics, new realities, that we must learn fully before we can use them to full effect.  Just like in our current world there are special “words” that control certain things.  When we want something we have but to ask, in the proper manner as befits this dimension, and it is granted.  “Old families” such as the Gates, Bush, Bauer’s, Rothschild’s, and so on, teach their children about these “laws” of prosperity, but we plebeians are stuck having to learn it on our own, which could easily use up an entire lifetime in searching.  Consider that at one time, Alchemy, Witchcraft, and Magick, were all taken for granted.  It can also be imagined that the “commoners” let these powers get out of control, or simply did not have the will-power to keep them under their control, and as such, the Ruling Powers decided that such things were dangerous and therefore “bad” and banned them in a way that people would never return to those crafts.  But human nature thrives on curiosity and as such, these old laws were visited once again, followed by further warnings, and then, one day, the Ruling Powers decided that such knowledge must be destroyed, as many facts are disappearing on the Internet to this very day.  History was changed, books on Alchemy, Witchcraft, and Magick, slowly disappeared as well. 

But people have still progressed and learned.  The problem is that a lot of the knowledge is ingrained in all of us.  Truth is part of all of us … we merely have to relax and clear our thoughts and analyze the thoughts that arise in this curious state of “being” without thinking.  The images that appear in our minds control our thoughts and lead us into discovering new ideas, that, unleashed into the public, can create havoc so our “Leaders” teach us NOT to think of these things.  They teach us that if we think these unnatural thoughts we will be “burned in the fiery pits of Hell” or worse.  We are controlled by similar thoughts to the Fairy Tales that controlled us as children.  But for those of us who defy “authority” and continue to think “unacceptable thoughts” we run the risk of being incarcerated in a mental institution until we are able to think “properly”.

A typical example is the United States of America.  We are told from birth that we are “Free” and at the same time we learn in time to “Stay off the grass”, or “Don’t smoke grass!”, or “Respect Authority”, or “Do as you’re told” and so on.  Our phones are tapped, our emails are read by Homeland Security, our every move in public is watched on camera, and when we decide to fly to a friends house or town, we are searched and probed and violated in several ways, ” in order to protect us from the terrorists “.  It is said that the United States people are the most controlled of any people on Earth, including those in China and Russia.  What is worse is that our “minds” have been imprisoned!  When we see someone having more than us our first instinct is supposed to be to report them to the police or to the IRS.  But, if we see our govt agencies doing something wrong or improper, we are instructed to ignore that since our govt is here to help and protect us from harm, and that it is impossible for the “average person” to “understand” the motives behind our government’s actions.  But are they really or are they there to make sure that our thoughts do not divert and that we do exactly as the “other sheeple”?

I hope this has given everyone some new thoughts on which to gnaw.  But don’t think too loudly or the “thought police” may swoop and bring you in for “mind cleansing”.  But before your mind is erased, think about what I have said, and if it appeals to you at all please select the “I Liked It” button below. 

Cover of Alternate Realities

Quite often the facts of the argument don’t matter or not supportive of the case put forward by the persuader. In this case the person making the argument may take the peripheral route focusing only on cues that trigger acceptance without much thinking.

Credibility

Quite often the effectiveness of the persuading information has a lot to do with its source.When a person is seen as an expert in the field of the information used in the persuading argument makes the information more credible. The environment from which the message is being delivered can also enforce the credibility factor. Using favorable mass media or a well known expert in the field can seem like an endorsement to the receiving audience.

However the effects of a credible source may diminish in a short time as the receivers began to disassociate the two. A noncredible person’s message may increase over time, if credible points out weight noncredible points. This delayed persuasion after people forget the source is called the sleeper effect.

The Trust Factor

Effective speech style will get the message remembered and enforce the trust factor needed to motivate into action. In 1976 a group of researchers at the University of Southern California found that those who spoke fast had a greater trust factor than those who spoke slow. They believe it was because fast speakers delivered with greater intensity engaging the audience emotionally. Slow speakers seem less knowledgeable because to the audience it looks like they have to think hard before they speak.

How well the persuader coordinate body language with verbal delivery served as an emotional facilitator as well.

Arguing against one’s own self interest is a key ingredient in persuading the target audience to trust fully. Convincing the masses their needs is all that matters is the primary tool of politicians and organization leaders.

Personal Appearance

Most people know athletes, actors and models are not knowledgeable about some of the products they endorse. Their ability to persuade is often based on the attractiveness or likeability of that person. Emotional appeals using the peripheral route are best delivered by people deemed attractive by society’s standards.

Researchers also found that people respond better to an appeal by a person representing their peer or ethnic group.

Analytical vs Emotion

Well educated audiences tend to be persuaded by facts and figures that makes sense to them. Less educated audience seem to respond better to the peripheral route where emphasis is placed on key words to provoke a specific emotional response. Most audiences are not fact oriented and tend form emotional bonds to people or products that makes them feel good. Once people form an emotional opinion about a product or person it is difficult to persuade them other wise using facts and figures. Before major elections many voters are disengaged Americans whose persuasion factor is based mostly on an emotional attachment.

First, it is a natural reaction to make predetermined judgments of someone within the first few seconds, as it is part of our natural defense mechanism. Within that first few seconds we already start to recognize actions as well as traits that are similar to someone we previously known. The way we relate to these, traits are what we have gathered in the past to how we related to the people we knew that carried them. For example, a man who demonstrates that he is loud and abrupt when he is intoxicated, may give the impression to someone overlooking his actions as acting similar to their abusive ex-spouse. Maybe someone has big bushy eyebrows that may make the person that they are speaking with remember their grandfather. Everything we notice about people is constantly being catalog so that we naturally can prepare ourselves for future socializing.

Since you have no idea of what the person you are speaking to has already cataloged you have to make an impression that breaks away from any predetermined judgments.

1.      Dress appropriate to the message you want to send out as well as to the audience you are sending it out to. If you are looking forward to joining a band dress as those in that genre, do without being overly glam. After you get in the door, you can adjust your fashion to what suits you. If you are a female looking to secure a professional position wear conservative corporate attire, if the company has some creative aspects such as marketing or fashion add some accessories to demonstrate your own creativity. You also want to dress slightly better than your intended audience does, but do not over do it.

2.      Emulate the persons values and beliefs, you may not have to agree with them nor state otherwise all you really have to do is listen and make it known that you follow exactly what they mean without over complimenting. Remember later on you may want to voice a different opinion, although now wouldn’t be the best of times it is best to keep the conversation open but full of substance.

3.      Open but full of substance seems almost unattainable, but if you let that person talk as well as continue to lead the conversation by expressing your listening skills with educated questioning they will tell you everything, remember people love to talk and most of the time they love to talk about themselves.

4.      Mirror their actions, subtle of course. If they take a drink and it seems comfortable you take a drink. They cross their legs you cross your legs. The goal here is to not look obvious but to gain a positive familiar momentum.

5.      Mirror the way they talk, do not all of a sudden change your accent but listen to their pace, the words they use and emulate.

6.      Take the lead; after you notice that your actions are in accord cross your legs or take a drink are they now mirroring you? If so, you have successfully started the process of building enough rapport to begin to influence your target.

7.      Set the pace, as before you spoke as fast or as slow as the person you are speaking with, change your pace to a comfortable one to you but not too slow or fast, if rapport is established they will keep to your pace.

8.      If the person starts to display some high level of emotion keep calm but express concern they will then continue to model your pace.

9.      Continue to listen to them while displaying social cues that you are not only genuinely listening but also concerned, such as using slight facial cues and slight body language.

10.  Using their words start to introduce your ideas.

The idea of researching whether this has ever been made came up to me recently. While performing a move out cleaning I really wished that things can just happen themselves. Imagine only thinking of it in a blink of an eye and immediately seeing it has happened. Amazing.

From books describing the power of the mind I assume that the psychokinesis requires a great deal of concentration. It is said that only monks who meditate for long periods can do this. However, it is thought that even if they manage to do it, it would be kept in secret. The mind has to be free from all other thoughts. Practice and patience will help you to achieve that state of mind. Focus your mind on the object and make sure that you think of nothing else other than the object.

Another interesting information I found was the mind control. However, it is easier to understand. Can our brain posses telekinesis skills? This is certainly way different than the mind control which could be used for making people do something unwillingly.

And now I think how good it would be. Instead of cleaning, packing and a lot other things to do to move out of my current home I would find a person and make him do everything instead of me. He would be happy, I would be happy too. Instead of having to wipe the floor, clean the carpet and a bunch of other things I would just pick a random person from the street and convince him he is working for move in cleaner services. However, as expected, he wont be paid anything.

In conclusion, this is a phenomenon that scientist have failed to explain. No evidences have been found but from ancient times it is believed that such things exist. It is said that daily meditation for at least half an hour can help to develop psychokinetic powers. However, this would be a long process for more than 30-40 years.  

    Remember just recently the rioting in London? Inner city riots back in the 1980’s in the UK forced the government agencies to deploy ELF mind control devices developed in the 1970’s to turn the inhabitants into docile zombies which could be manipulated at any time. Mass Mind Control of the public to make them submissive and obey authority was expanded, hand-in-hand with the mobile phone network and military and police microwave transmitters. The aim was to make these targets docile submissive, zombie-like beings. If this was going on then, just think of how far advanced they are now.

   If you thought the TSA were bad, there will be airport security screeners that could potentially read the minds of travelers to identify terrorists. The major contributors to this technology are the Navy, Air Force and Department of Defense. NASA of course plays a roll and is helping to develop brain-monitoring devices for the agencies involved. Space technology would be adapted to receive and analyze brain-wave and heartbeat patterns and then feed that data into a computerized program to detect passengers that might be a potential threat. The computerized data will report your criminal background and your credit information. Your credit information!! Would that make someone without good credit a potential threat? If that’s the case then most of us in the United States are potential threats.

   In a series of closed meeting the FBI was briefed on a decade long research on a computerized acoustic device allegedly capable of implanting thoughts in a person’s mind without that person being aware of the thought. The agencies involved have come forward admitting they can almost read peoples minds. Forget the V-Chip, we can read your mind!! The original model was launched in space and had the ability to affect large masses of people over huge areas as previously mentioned. The massive number of microwave antennae that dot just this country, all use pulse modulated microwaves, which makes their use for a strategic mind control device against the civilization population in times of trouble, or rioting, crucial to modifying the behavior of the general population.

    As I had mentioned in part 1, the mobile device or cell phone is the next generation of carriers for mind control devices. If this technology could affect masses of people from outer space, image how many people it could effect right up against your ear. It is a rule of intelligence that you hide things in plain view, getting the public to accept these hand held brain washing devices which affect their behavior under guise of mobile phones. The idea to have the public pay for these microwave mind control devices with the ability to damage their brains and alter their behavior in order to make them more docile and easy to control, was the perfect weapon.

    Think about it. almost all mobile phones have GPS capability or maybe you even own a GPS yourself, everyone owns a microwave and or a television and some kind of mobile device, either it be cell phone or cordless hand held. Even if you can avoid all of that, there are cameras on you at all times, from high above the clouds to the traffic light. Face it, “Big Brother” is watching and even more closer then ever. Who funds these agencies? You do!! We gave up our personal liberty for safety. We are a nation constantly injected with fear and hand over our power to the government agencies to keep us safe from ourselves.

    What if there was some kind of higher force that could flip a switch or should I say push a button and control everything about you. They would have the ability to control your thoughts, emotions, reactions, actions, what you see and hear…etc.  Just think for one moment…could this happen and at what cost? The answer is that it can happen and the cost would be everything you thought you knew. Let’s discuss Microwave Mind Control technologies.

     Microwaves are used in radar, television and microwave ovens. There is also evidence of these frequencies being used in mobile phones. The one thing almost everyone has is a mobile phone. Getting the public to accept microwave mind control weapons was shear genius. Research has found that pulse modulated microwaves ( as used for mobile phones) can, when modulated with ELF which mimics specific brain patterns change the behavior of the victim at the push of a button.

     Pulse modulated microwaves which can also harness the mind control signals which are both able to pass thought the skull, which is rather resistant to low level EM. This technology would be able to convert thoughts into computer commands by deciphering the brain’s electrical activity. These commands then can be manipulated and retransmitted via microwave pulses into you mind and have the ability to make us see, think and hear whatever they want us too.

    Remember when cell phones were being rumored to cause cancer? That rumor might not be that far fetched. In 1970, there was news that the Russians were microwaving the US embassy in Moscow. One third of the staff eventually died of cancer from this microwave irradiation. Among cancer, these microwaves also create depression, confused thinking, memory loss, stress, anxiety, manic behavior, schizophrenia, nervous breakdowns and that’s just to name a few. Maybe that’s why we are a medicated society!

     Some of the other symptoms of microwave pulses include the following.  Microwave Hearing, which is the hearing of voices in the head of the targeted individual but no one else can here them. This would also make it possible to create suggestions and psychological direction. There are also visual disturbances, which creates visual images as in a hallucination. Decades of research and investment have produced the ability to alter behavior on willing and unwilling subjects. These psychotropic weapons were originally spaced based which have the capability of killing every living thing on the planet and driving millions of people crazy and that was in the 60’s.

    Other than brain manipulation there are ways these Microwave frequencies can affect your physical being. These effects include seizures, temporary to permanent blinding, severe pain, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, and disruption of internal organ functions such as blood, cardiovascular system, cells, central nervous system, digestive systems, glands, reproduction and other various organs.  As you can see, these microwaves pass deeply into the body and can have a negative effect on the brain and body.

   They have made the ultimate weapon, a weapon that attacks you from every angle and it is only legal to use for those in power. If the masses of people do not agree with an idea they will force them too agree, willingly or unwillingly. The government agencies do not need to force you to buy microwaves or radars or televisions, you are willing to buy mobile devices that not only are better but we all carry them around everywhere. Ask yourself before you leave for anywhere what are the 5 most important things not to forget? Is one of them your cell phone?
