Improve Your
Intelligence

Part Two - Can and
Should Intelligence Be Increased?
Part Three - Awareness
and Attention-Span: A Breathtaking Discovery
Part Four - Image-Streaming
I. Introduction
1. For accumulating 20 hours of held-breath underwater swimming within
3 weeks from start to finish-- 10 or more points I.Q. gain; better span of
attention; better span of awareness; better awareness of the interrelatedness of
things and of ideas and/or perceptions; finding yourself way better at winning
arguments or disputes! (20 or so seconds to 3 minutes at a time underwater,
stretching the time a little each dip but remaining well within the bounds of
comfort and safety - be sure someone with you there is aware of what you are
doing. By the procedure we describe herein, you must be truly underwater, not
just dipping your face in or just holding your breath, because the
brain-circulation enhancement induced by the marine diving response - common to
all mammals - is unexpectedly powerful in this combination of effects.)
The other procedure--
2. Accumulate at least 30 hours, 5-20 minutes at a time, of true Image
Streaming as directed herein, and you will gain substantial increases in "I.Q." Your
language skills will jump noticeably, contributing to 100 points or greater gain
overall in such standardized tests as the G.R.E. (assuming you aren't already
close to the test's ceiling -- see below). Your gain in more numinous aspects
will be even more striking. This must be - or rapidly become - true Image
Streaming as described herein, using a tape recorder or a live person
listening.
At this time we do not know whether the gains from following both procedures
together would be merely additive, or whether they will be positively
synergistic. Pending formal measurement studies, our expectation is the latter.
At least we know that either program by itself will, by itself, provide the
benefits cited for it, apparently permanently.
Of course we realize that the dollar-value refund on this booklet means
little to you compared with the value of your time, effort and attention in
pursuing either of these procedures. There is no way we could refund those
greater values. Happily, no refund will be needed - instead, you will find
yourself soon able to accomplish far more of what you've been doing, far better,
faster and further. Your investment in time, effort and
(Introduction, cont.)
attention will be quickly repaid many times over and then go on as a
"dividend income" for the rest of your life.
Quibbles and Qualifiers:
A-ha, you knew there must be a catch to this! --Only, there truly
isn't, only some common sense.
Of course, to qualify for refund you would need to demonstrate by some
well-recognized standardized test that there was no gain resulting comparable to
those cited. We would hope, in fact, that you would have more positive reasons
for tracking your progress by test, if only curiosity. Making that part of
things easier for you is the likelihood that most of you already have, as
your before test, an I.Q.-related score of some sort already on record -
in which case, all you would need to do is to arrange for a different or new
form of the same instrument for your after measurement.
For that matter, you could simply go ahead and pursue one or both the
procedures in this quickbook for their own sake, and not bother with tests and
refund issues, just go for the benefits. For those of you reading this, however,
who care to pursue such matters of proof and test, here are these
quibbles and qualifiers (or common-sense provisions):
A. Whatever test you use to measure your benefits from this must be good at
measuring in the upper ranges, and have either a high ceiling or no ceiling. If
you already are at or above the ceiling on the test, whatever improvements you
make in fact would not be reflected ion the score, obviously.
B. The test you use should be in 2 different forms, one for the "before" and
a different one for the "after," to minimize test gains which are attributable
to practice instead of to the effects you are seeking to measure.
C. The "after" test should be performed at least 60 days, preferably 90 days,
after completion of your process intervention. Your intelligence gains
appear to be permanent, but take some while to work their effects through the
habituated ways in which your brain and mind think, perceive and work. A test
for intelligence immediately after the intervention would show little if any
gain, though some of the other gains do show up more immediately.
Next question: are you intelligent enough already to appreciate the value of
more intelligence? --Especially since so many people "know," including many
qualified professionals, that you cannot increase or improve human intelligence
- that you are stuck with the level of intelligence - or lack of it - that
you were born with???
