Human beings are unique among the inhabitants of Earth because we are simultaneously Earth-bound and divine. You have probably noticed how vastly human behavior can differ, ranging from the person who gives all in service of others to the one who violently uses and abuses other people.

As you grew older, you became more and more proficient at influencing the world around you. You earned money, gained status, and developed a solid sense of identity. But along with this came suffering and a yearning to go somewhere beyond this physical world. At some point, you may have asked, as I did, “What is this really all about?”

The problem with the physical world is that it is easy to for¬get what lies under the surface of things. When you were that infant exploring the world, you had just come into the world with a purpose. But the world of form distracted you, and you forgot, for a moment, which you really were.

J. ou CAMK INTO THIS WORLD wanting to be someone who makes things happen. From day one, you were a creation machine. You picked up objects in your tiny hands as soon as you could manage to grasp them. You fumbled them around in your hands, feeling their shape and texture, and even popped them in your mouth, wanting to know everything about the world around you.

As you trained knowledge of the world, you wanted to assert your influence over these objects. You pushed your bowl oft the table, just to see it fall. You cooed and equaled, trying to understand the nature of your own voice. All your senses were open to discovering the living world around you.

I am not telling you this story so you can be impressed with Brain Wave Vibration; it is a very simple activity that requires little effort. Rather, I am telling you this story so you can be impressed with the marvel of the human body. I believe this woman was able to heal because the subconscious part of her brain, the brain stem, already knew what it needed to do to create wholeness in her body; she just needed to get out of its way, which is what Brain Wave Vibration allows. The body contains a wonderful intelligence that surpasses our current understanding of the human body. This is the intelligence of the brain stem, a part of the brain that orchestrates things so complex that our thinking brain can only begin to grasp them.

I know that if you are reading this book you are already interested in your own self-development. That is rare and wonderful in itself, but I would like you to make one small shift in your perspective on that. Please change your self-development mind into your infinite-development mind. In other words, really believe in your true potential and feel the joy of your own infinite nature. Run, do not walk, forward—the world is waiting for you. Don’t settle for good enough; stop making limits. To create limits is to deny life, and limits are a desecration of vour brain.

The objective of Brain Education is to give people the ability to use their brain operating system effectively. We get an owner’s manual when we buy a car, a computer, or any other technological gadget, but unfortunately we do not get an owner’s manual for our most complex technology—the brain. It would be great if we received one when we were born, wouldn’t it? It would be great if we could just look in a book to find out how to manage our emotions, how to maximize our abilities, and how to find peace in a hectic world.

Even though we seem to be fighting for our own gain, the negativity has turned inward as well, blocking us from the true empowerment that comes from within. Negativity has become a substitute for real power because real empowerment is rarely considered. Children grow up thinking nationality, grades, popularity, and the like make them who they are.

It is no wonder, then, that so many young people feel burdened by a sense of disillusionment as they reach adulthood. Teenagers, especially those who have grown up in very dis-empowering environments, demonstrate this in their self-destructive behaviors and attitudes. Feeling powerless, they turn to negative behaviors and thinking patterns as a substitute for real power. Youth should be a time of joyous self-discovery and development, but for too many young people, adolescence becomes a time of self-loathing and aimless wandering.

Developing Infinite Mind You may wonder why humanity so often chooses negative consciousness vibrations when the brain’s natural inclination is to choose positive ones. In fact, when you look at the events of history and the current state of the world, you might be inclined to think that we choose negatively more often than not.

Basically, humanity has become addicted to negative information. At some point in our development, perhaps through over dependence on our rational minds, we convinced ourselves that life is all about competition and acquisition. We concocted myths about the scarcity of goods, and we invented the need to judge ourselves superior to our neighbors.

This song sums up all we need to transform our lives and the world—and it encompasses the highest purpose of Brain Wave Vibration. I hope that Brain Wave Vibration can give you the distance you need to see your own life, and all the problems that come with human existence, from a distance—even if only for a few moments at a time. As you step away from your constant thinking and continual worries, I think you will be able to see the blessings that lie in everything. From that place you will begin to see the beautiful perfection of it all and will come closer to the perfection that already lies within you.

This is a beautiful and hopeful time to be alive. We are at a turning point, and your contribution to the world is needed more than ever. All of your struggles, all the struggles of your ancestors, all the struggles of all life have led to this moment right now. You are the culmination of life’s great yearning; you are the hope of the world. through this cosmic energy, you are an integral player in creating a better, more sustainable way of life on this planet.
