    Default Thinking Visualisation

    Finally put together a basic introduction to Thinking Visualisation which promulgates the notion that Vision is the most important of our senses and is most connected to various processing centres in the brain. This is turn advocates that thinking in visualisation of the scenario's and issues is a far more powerful thought process than other forms of thought.

    Essentially because Visualisation uses the three dimensional perspective of the mind it enables the juggling of more permutations and conceptualisation of connected analogies (images).

    Lastly, Visualisation uses the oldest parts of the brain which have been honed over many many millennia.

    Here's the article => Animal Mind

    Hey, I've been wondering about some things for a while now...why do we have the mindset that we have. I am also thinking our personalities? are they that closely related to our individual mindset?

    Why do very small percentages of the population do stuff that the masses do not?

    What stands out the mindset of another and the possibility of one remaining relatively ...? "stagnant?" while another is under constant change, remodelling, enquiring, nuturing....adapting....where does this come from?

    Thought you might have an idea?

    I've always believed that groups of peoples minds are like different species, they are quite different and are genetically based. People’s physical differences are just as pronounced in the brain as they are observable as different heights, hair colour and whatever else you can physically differentiate on.

    Obviously though, all traits have some randomness and it’s the various probabilistic alignments of certain "abilities" and "needs", "desires" etc that Creates a bell shaped curve of variation.

    In theory you could probably construct the basic "prime factors" of the deconstructed "small percentage" that truly excel in the world.

    So what are those prime factor traits?... Hmm... I'm thinking I need to write another mini article... !!

    Yes, I do agree that it can be a mindset that influences someones long run achievement, just like endless studying can often ensure attainment.

    However, some people are just gifted or genetically enabled (Other probability end of being intellectually disabled) (Like I believe there's only a small difference between those that suffer issues like Autism and those that are seen as "incredibly" intelligent (Even just reading about Autistic children's grey and white matter growing abnormally fast just shows that they might have suffered from the genetic "envelope" being pushed too far).

    Motivational psychology is a good thing, it will always enhance someones innate ability...

    Carol Dweck would probably be interested in my childhood mindset, I used to race the other most intelligent person in the class at maths (My idea) and then we used to go round the class helping all the other kids... lol, I remember once teaching the class coordinate geometry because we had a dumb relieving teacher who didn't understand it. I adored numbers, it was a logical process language, whereas writing/english was a expressive "feeling" language. (Which now I know why boys and girls relate to maths and english differently).

    I remember my first deductive intellectual leap, it was when I realised that I could easily and rapidly do my 9x tables if I just used the easy 10x tables and deduct one unit. like 9x7 is the same as 7x10-7 ) (or simply 70-7).
