........................................................................
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR THE SEASON by Win Wenger ( wwenger101@aol.com )
The human race is now looking at a possible pandemic
outbreak of human-
transmittable avian flu - just
as we were looking at a possible SARS
outbreak at this time last year,
one that did not happen as human resolve
and human ingenuity managed to
prevail instead.
In fact, the human race has made it through to December
2005 despite
forty years of near-certainty,
ending only in 1992, that humanity was
going to destroy itself in a
strategic nuclear exchange between the
USA/NATO and the
still have far to go, but which
have come a long way, the best relations
between the two countries since
the 1948 Partition Riots which separated
them.
Human dedication, ingenuity and good will can and do make
a difference.
Yes, we have problems and shortcomings. But we have seen resolutions as
well, some of them little short
of miraculous. We can be heartened by
the knowledge that our own
dedication, ingenuity and good will can make
a difference in 2006, in small
affairs and maybe large; in our own lives;
and in the lives of those whom
we care about.
There can be not only negative-prevention miracles, but positive miracles
as well. Fifteen years ago, what
did the Internet mean to you? Yes, the
Internet is somewhat a mixed blessing, but definitely for
the most part
a blessing. Among other things,
it enabled a greater redistribution of
information-access and power
than even the invention of printing, which
gave us the modern world.
Greater changes from that will necessarily
follow. And
now we are told of equally major revolutions in information
technology about to come to us.
Even a decade ago, how realistic did Google's declared
goal, to take all
of (printed) human knowledge and
make it accessible by search engine
through the Internet? Yet now we
all Google, and look how amazingly far
along we are toward that goal.
If only we could so capture all of human
wisdom as well! Wikipedia shows
promise of leading towards that frontier,
as well.
If we can make it through the next few years, the human
race may indeed
have unbelievably good times ahead
for us all. Yes, we live in unsettled
times - but, by definition,
that's when it's easiest for even one
individual to make a meaningful
difference, when situations are indeed
unsettled. Heading into that
extraordinary year 2006, let us go, you and
I, to make some of that meaningful
difference.

CREATIVITY TOOLS / TOYS - invented by Rory O'Connor,
rory@energybeing.com
*
The Inner Vision Deck - http://www.innervisiondeck.com
Rory used Win Wenger's Sidebands method of creative problem-solving to
develop this deck. He posed the
question: "How can I create a tool that
will engage a skeptical and
business-minded bunch of people in the use
of creative problem-solving in a
format that is portable so that people
can use it to solve problems
instead of simply talking about them?"
Each card contains a word or phrase, such as unite, bail
out, tightrope,
bottomless pit, flow, new
pathway, borrowed time, and over 60 more. Use
them to get ingenious answers to
questions and problems, or to play a
revealing party game. Online
instructions include solo, coaching and
group problem-solving. Printed in the
"Don’t
under-estimate this no-frills brainstorming tool. The Inner
Vision Deck is
simple, powerful and inexpensive. 4 out of 5 stars"
-- Chuck
Frey, www.InnovationTools.com

www.thecreativityhub.com and in the U.S./Canada from
www.gamepuzzles.com/rorydeck.htm for

Rory's Story Cubes - published by Kadon Enterprises, Inc. in
Using Win's BeachHead/BaseCamp invention process, Rory
O'Connor invented
Rory's Story Cubes as a problem-solving, story-telling and creativity-
enhancing tool. The 9 cubes carry 54 images, all carefully chosen to
evoke the widest range of ideas
and associations. To solve a problem,
roll the 9 cubes and create a
story that weaves all 9 images into its
plot. Now ask - how do the
characters, themes, events and locations in
my story provide an insight or
answer to the question? Simple in their
design, Rory's Story Cubes are
awesome in metaphorical powers to reveal
answers and insights, and to delight
both storyteller and listeners
with the surprising depths of
the imagination. For ages 6 and up.
Available from
www.gamepuzzles.com/rscubes.htm for $25.

GIFTED AND TALENTED SEARCH - Win Wenger ( wwenger101@aol.com )
We'd like to hear from anyone
who is gifted and/or talented, and anyone
who is working with or
interested in the gifted and talented... for a
cluster of reasons:
1) Education of
the gifted and talented has been moribund since the
early 1980s, yet civilization is
built mainly from the contributions of
just a relatively few such
people.
2) The basic human
nutrition is appropriate feedback upon one's own
interests, initiative and
actions. By their exceptionality, the
exceptionally gifted are most
deprived of this essential nutrition, and
many, for that reason, to say
nothing of their educational neglect since
the early '80s, don't get to
make that significant contribution to our
science, our culture and our
society, thus limiting the lives and well-
being of us all.
3) Some of our methods are a pretty
direct avenue to genius in each of
us, yet it is clear that, given
a chance, "the rich get richer." The
brighter someone already is, the
easier it is, with a little application
of our methods, for them to
develop a lot further.
4) Our intended service is to everyone. Our resources and
methods are
meant to enable everyone to move
forward. It begins to look like our
greatest movement forward,
and/or most rapid movement forward, may result
if we give a little special
additional attention to the needs of the
already pretty gifted.
In addition: Long
ago, most of the unannounced part of my education
major was that of educating the
gifted. Two of my best friends and
mentors were, for a long time,
two of the world's leading experts on
education of the gifted - Virgil
S. Ward and John Curtis Gowan, and some
of my classmates under Ward are
among today's leading experts.
Something a little extra for the gifted may turn out to
be the little
extra we need to get the
wobbling wheels of our civilization's chariot
securely back on and things
moving forward again. If you are, or know
of, and/or are working with, the
gifted and/or talented, please write
me. Thank you.

Feature Article:
BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND UNDEVELOPMENT
Less than 1% - fact or folklore?
by
Win Wenger
It's time to debunk the question
of how much of the brain is actually
used and not used. The literature
hasn't been entirely helpful in either
regard, but the original study,
the one that practically every workshop
leader tosses off as gospel a la
folklore, without ever bothering to go
to source or naming source, is
that by J. Z. Young, published in 1964 in
his "A Model of The
Brain" (
sampling and counting, and
concluded that somewhere between 5% and 10% of
the brain was developed, based
upon what proportion of the sampled brain
cells showed any development at
all.
Other researchers since then have quarreled with his
sampling strategies
but apparently did not come up
with substantially different conclusions.
None of these that I know of factored in the DEGREE of
development. Degree
can be physiologically
demonstrated two ways - thickness of the myelin
sheathing which insulates the
nerve cell, making it easier to build up a
charge difference between the
insides and outsides of the cell so it can
fire; and the number of
dendritic connections the cell makes with other
cells.
The number of dendritic connections is
more easily counted as an indicator.
Some cells have been counted
with more than sixty thousand connections with
other cells; we can mark that as
a kind of potential ceiling even though we
don't know what actual ceiling
exists except that it has to be that high or
higher. Most brain cells that are developed at all have only a dozen or so
connections with other cells.
So, factor in the DEGREE of
development with the percentage of cells that
actually developed and we are
already looking at well under 1% development
of the brain - in fact well
under 1% of 1% - just in physiological terms
alone.
If we turn to behavioral aspects, especially conscious
and unconscious,
we find similar considerations -
for just the developed parts of the brain
that we are using. For example,
the apparent long-term permanent storage
of either all, or at least an
astronomical many, of our experiences dates
back to infancy and even some in
the womb. Yet we have conscious access to
but a tiny portion of these
without the use of drugs, hypnosis, or some
of our non-drug, non-hypnotic,
non-intrusive processes that we routinely
use in Project Renaissance.
Factor that together, in turn, with this --
At arm's length distance, please hold up your index
finger and stare at it
fixedly. Without moving your
eyes from your index finger, notice how much
more of your surroundings you
can see and make sense of. Your index finger
is about the span of your visual
focus, and it represents nicely the still
larger issue of the span of your
attentional focus for all ongoing sensory
awarenesses and experience.
The behaviorists all the way back to Watson demonstrated
that that
"lateral" information
coming in also registers and goes into long-term
data storage and whatever
processing is engaged there - either all of it,
or at least a great amount of
it.... Factor this focus-vs.-background
factor together with the
enormous beyond-conscious data storage, together
with the physiological
less-than-1%, and I have to conclude - -
1) The proportion
of mind and brain that we have developed and are
consciously using is very substantially less than that 1%,
and -
2) We do have some
room for improvement.
In addition, we in Project Renaissance have had a lot of
experience in
bringing not only data,
previously beyond-conscious, on line with full
verbal conscious focus, but also
functions. It is, moreover, clear to us
that we haven't even begun to
scratch the surface.
I cannot answer for Tony Buzan's literature which, I
think, has somewhat
different premises. But I'm afraid I have to stick to my earlier statement
that
the 1% proposition was something of an understatement.
Any of you who DO teach or train workshops, in which you've been using
that piece of 5-10% folklore,
copy down my J. Z. Young reference above.
I've done some of your homework
for you.
For those of you who are currently practiced in
Image-Streaming, one
very nice "past
history" process you can do this very minute, if you care
to research this topic
experientially, is detailed for you in Winsights
No. 44 ( http://www.winwenger.com/part44.htm
). That one is not set up
specifically for retrieving deep
past memories - it is set up for another
purpose - but it should be
utterly easy for you to use that to retrieve
some of your very deep, very
beyond-conscious offline memories if you
should care to. Additional deep-retrieval
procedures, more directly
useful for that purpose, are
contained in my book, "Beyond O.K." -

COMMENTS and FEEDBACK
~~~
MOTIVATION AND GOAL-SETTING - Kate Jones ( kate@gamepuzzles.com )
Jennifer Haggerty's article on goal-setting
in the March 2005 issue of
The Stream - www.winwenger.com/Stream/05-03.htm - inspired
these musings:
Using perceived/remembered emotions to reverse-engineer
motivation and
goal direction (and desired
success) relies on a mechanism that few seem
to have recognized and
understood. Emotions are not primaries. They are
diagnostic tools reflecting a
deeper well of internalized values. They
are value judgments, responses
to stimuli - effects, not causes. They
are the subconscious mind's
sentries, the underground guardians that
send their alarms throughout the
entity's nervous system and emotional
receptors, but they only judge
by what they've been programmed to
believe. It is
that program we should be looking for and looking at,
and then every motivation, goal
and action would become clear.
-- Kate

PERSPECTIVE ON BREATHING - Lothar Jost (barakaya@yahoo.de )
I've been looking into breathing
and its relation to mental functioning.
Win Wenger has written pages of brilliant stuff about
breathing techniques,
and Dennis Lewis' 'The Tao of
Natural Breathing' seems to occasionally
refer to how breathing affects
the brain. Here's a technique I find
useful: Between two activities set aside one minute
for breathing, and
if an activity lasts too long,
let your breathing return to normal now and
then and take in some
uninterrupted breaths. After a couple of hours this
produces noticeable positive
changes, even without making these breaths
deeper than natural. (of course, it might still be much better to make
them as deep as possible, but
for some reason, to me, it feels better to
make them just natural.)
- Lothar
~~~
WHAT DO WE KNOW - Dennis Vargo (
dennis.vargo@pfizer.com )
[Response to questionnaire in The Stream, May 2005 -
www.winwenger.com/Stream/05-05.htm ]
I would rephrase and define these complex concepts much
differently.
Real world: that
which exists independently of us and what will remain
after we are gone. We are a part
of the real world - we live in it and
we are perceivers, interpreters
and manipulators of it. Our efforts,
thoughts, energies and
intentions, etc., influence the real world. By
our existence, our thoughts and
our actions, we change the earth, albeit
usually indirectly, 'weakly,'
probably usually immeasurably. It is
difficult if not impossible to
determine/identify that influence. In
addition, there are many influencing beings, so
individual contributions
to distant events are very
difficult to tease out, especially as it is
rare for individuals to try to
influence such things in a unified (and
perhaps not canceling) fashion.
I tend to conceptualize three degrees, or types, of
'truth': 'what is
true,' the truth, and THE TRUTH.
'What is true' is immediate and personal, although
democratic by
convention. That being said,
different people may have different
concepts of 'what is true.' [For
example, Christians believe 'it is
true' that Jesus is the son of
God.]
'The truth' is our current understanding and
interpretation of THE
TRUTH - it has a lineage and progression (although we
make mistakes
and sometimes back-track from
THE TRUTH; nonetheless it is a progression,
if only irregularly). Scientific
laws are examples of 'the truth.'
THE TRUTH exists in 'the real world' and is absolute and
independent of
our volition. All
of THE TRUTH is not even entirely known or knowable.
Much of what we are is part of This TRUTH. In general, as
we become more
educated, we get a bit closer to
This TRUTH. [The best, albeit not
foolproof, example of this is
the statement, "God is." If, indeed, God
does exist.]
In other words, if humans never existed, there would
still be a 'real
world' and it would have THE
TRUTH, which would be composed of historical
fact and immutable scientific
and natural laws. Life significantly
complicates, embellishes,
expands this TRUTH. As cognizant human
thinkers, we are able to
deduce/induce/intuit/etc., 'the truth' and
'what is true' - individually
and as society - and maybe even get closer
to THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH is
universal. 'What is true' and 'the truth' are
frequently and largely
individual and can change - and frequently do
change and progress. Because of
this, the real world and THE TRUTH are
much more complex and are
embellished by living creatures, especially
human beings.
