ALPHABETICAL BRAIN™ VOCABULARY HUMANIST FAMILY BRAIN STUDY DETAILS ABOUT THE LOCATION OF POTENTIATION ON THE CIRCLE OF CONSCIOUSNESS SYMBOL June 25, 2017 Knowing how your brain works is essential if you want to thrive in the future. The metaphorical Circle of Consciousness Symbol reveals the relationship between your brain's working memory and your mind's ability to reason. This Symbol integrates the 15 most important brain ideas ever discovered. They are defined by the 15 brain flash cards and the detailed explanations of their significance are presented in linked DETAILS files and QUOTES files and SOURCE files for each of the 15 brain ideas. The 15 brain ideas can be used to make better decisions in the future since they provide an expanded self-awareness of what you are capable of achieving during your lifetime based upon observable and learnable facts. The explanations of the dynamic interactive relationships include the new understanding of how human consciousness and human self-awareness have been evolving over hundreds of thousands of years to give you the ability and freedom to make your own rational decisions based upon altruistic ethical non-theistic humanistic values. Fundamentally, the 15 brain ideas can converge and merge in your mind to produce an enlarged self-awareness that can create an enlightened consciousness because of your brain's neuroplasticity and your mind's ability to reason. The following two flash card diagrams graphically depict the Circle of Consciousness Symbol. The Symbol provides you with a simplified model of a living human brain. It reveals that your brain is made up of many parts whose relationships you can comprehend and remember in your long-term memory system. Learning the names of these parts of your brain is an essential educational task, if you want to understand the reality of your brain's significance for your life in the 21st century. Diagram #1 (which is the front side of a flash card) shows the Circle of Consciousness Symbol with 15 red arrows outside the circle, all pointing outward toward the names of each of the 15 brain ideas. This 1st diagram depicts the names of the 15 brain ideas when they are outside your conscious self-awareness. Diagram #2 (which is the back side of diagram #1) shows the Circle of Consciousness Symbol with 15 red arrows inside the circle, all pointing inward toward the smaller center circle called MENTAL FORCE. This 2nd diagram depicts the names of the 15 brain ideas when they are inside your conscious self-awareness. You can TAP, CLICK or SWIPE on the Circle of Consciousness Symbol and use your working memory (creative imagination) to start mentally integrating the 15 brain ideas and their relationships into your self-awareness for possible consolidation in your long-term memory system. The two diagrams of the Circle of Consciousness Symbol illustrate the connected relationship that exists between your working memory (brain idea #1) and your long-term memory (brain idea #15). This special relationship is depicted by their locations around the circle: they are right next to each other. By realizing the dynamic interactive relationships that exist between your working memory and your long-term memory systems, you will be able to control their interactions to a largely predictably degree. In between these two essential memory functions are 13 of the 15 brain ideas emphasized on this website. This unique sequence of the names of 15 brain ideas was created to provide a reasonable context with which to begin understanding what causes consciousness to exist in human beings and what happens when age-related dementias occur, including the fatal Alzheimer's disease. Since they must be connected at all times, it is fitting that these two memory functions are touching each other on the Circle of Consciousness Symbol. If the neuronal pathways that exist between them get damaged, then your self-awareness would become severely impaired or destroyed and your life would never return to normal. Your degree of consciousness and sense-of-self would be significantly diminished forever. However, if you learn the new brain vocabulary, you will quickly understand how you must organize and control your expanding self-awareness, and your increasing awareness of others, as you focus your attention on keeping your brain healthy in the future. You can quickly remember the names of the 15 brain ideas in their complete context as the key determinants of enlightened consciousness by using the 3rd and the 4th diagrams of the Circle of Consciousness Symbol to repeatedly stimulate your semantic memory cells. This fast-track way to memorize the names of the 15 brain ideas is in addition to using the 15 brain flash cards with their quick links to master the DETAILS, QUOTES, and SOURCE files found at the end of the 15 DETAILS files linked to the backs of the 15 brain flash cards. Diagrams #3 and #4 provide you with the opportunity to focus your prefrontal cortex on training your brain to learn the letters of the 15 memory codes and the names of the 15 brain ideas in an outline form first before you study the details about each brain idea by itself. Diagram #3 shows the position of the 15 memory codes around the circle in their unique sequence. Diagram #4 is linked to diagram #3 by the flash card structure and makes it possible for you to have easily repeated viewings at the SWIPE of a finger or the CLICK of a mouse depending upon what kind of device (iPhone, iPad, smartphone or tablet) or computer you may choose to use. Diagrams #3 and #4 were designed to help you remember the names of the 15 brain ideas quickly through the spaced-repetition method of memorization. This method of learning is better than any other memory techniques or tricks, with the exception of using an audio or video recording device to assist memorization. You can strengthen the connections among the billions of memory molecules and thousands of neuronal pathways that are involved in your brain's communication process when you think about linking the letters in the 15 memory codes to the names of the 15 brain ideas, by using your mind's ability to reason, By deliberately repeating the experience of matching the brain names to the memory codes for a few minutes several times during the first day you look at them, and then again for a few times more during the next few days, and again a few times more about a week later, you can quickly learn to remember any brain idea. If rational thinking ("slow thinking") is required to discern answers and solutions when you need to make serious decisions, you will be able to focus and sort through reasonable alternatives. You will be integrating your new thoughts and feelings with your older long-term memories about the subject, since you will be consciously aware of your key brain functions that really matter. Since all of your neuronal pathways connect all 15 brain functions, their functions are what give you an expanded self-awareness about their own interactions. However, you need to know how to name them and understand their interactive relationships in order to control their functions. Your memorization of the 15 brain ideas can be realized if your visualization of the memory codes can quickly cause the 15 brain ideas to be triggered from your long-term memory into the conscious awareness of your working memory. By using the Circle of Consciousness Symbol and the 15 brain flash cards, along with the spaced-repetition method of memorization, you can save time training your fabulous brain. instantly return to: DETAILS ABOUT POTENTIATION produced by Infinite Interactive Ideas™
