Under development will be deleted tomorrow to finish.. Feb 5
Really don't know where to start but guess best to open the box and reveal the extreme power which the brain, a Biological machine, gave us. First, the development of Mankind (us as human) would not have survived was not the ability of the subconscious mind taking control. From survival actions in times of danger, to self awareness and control (self balance when walking), and finally to the developing of skills or new abilities to protect the body. The conscious mind is us thinking and instructing muscles in performance, while the subconscious mind is a behind the scene actions discovered and needed for completion of the survival tasks.
To know the force of this biological computer we only need to look at a few sports and see the most extreme awareness of the power of the subconscious mind over our actions. First, if in what is called "Flicker Fusion" The brain can resolve changes in images (movement) of up to approximately 60 Hz (frames per second) which is what speed our TV and computer screens produce images to create movement.
Asking Google AI " If a baseball is thrown at 100 km /h how long does it take to travel 61 feet", and AI replied "The baseball takes 2.196 seconds to travel 61 meters." with the following calculation.
Our eyes see our world with a image capture and refreshing speed limited about 1/30th of a second, which in the above calculation means 6 images captured and viewed. (below Google tells us "these images are continuous process and not discrete images)
However, when Google AI is asked is how movement images are re-produced and examined by the brain. Google AI says "The eye uses "smooth pursuit" to follow the ball, but when the ball's speed exceeds the eye's ability to smoothly follow (typically around 30°/s), the eyes switch to "catch-up saccades"—rapid, ballistic jumps to align the fovea (the center of highest acuity) with the ball's new position" and as for the speed of the brain
" Brain Processing (75-100 FPS): Modern research indicates the human brain processes visual information in a range of roughly 75 to 100 images per second, although this is a continuous, not discrete, process."
This is further explained as "At 100 km/h the ball travels at a velocity of 27.78 m/s given the standard pitching distance of 18.44 meters and has a total flight time of .66 seconds. This duration is significantly longer than the average human visual reaction time of approximately 0.25 seconds and providing the batter with sufficient time to recognize the pitch and coordinate a motor response. More detail of how the subconscious mind has other unique and different actions being used in it's efforts to see the baseball and to hit it"
In a similar manner, the ability for us to see a moving car at a distance is because our eyes as they focus on that movement, even at a great distance and a unknown speed; the subconscious mind is feeling the changing eye muscles tension during the car's movement and our eye focusing. In the analysis of these very small muscle variations which are probably micro electrical pulse, we judge the speed. No thinking (conscious mind control) just subconscious information which generates a warning of danger.
Why all of this information on Baseball ? To understand the power of the subconscious you have to sometimes look at the hardest task which a subconscious is performing each day, some where. Throughout the world with the many cultures there are different level of personal development and use of the subconscious. Before North America was settled the natives had powers which were never studied or verified.
Over the years as I sought to understand what the subconscious was able to do and discovered the writings of Carlos Castaneda about his an anthropological investigation of the Mexican Yaqui tribal sorcerer. Native sorcery, the title given to these powers which both, the South American and North American natives, developed in their centuries of subconscious awareness.
Thoughout my blogs about "Muscle Memory" I often speak of a "Zen Moment" or Void of thought ("No-Mind" (Mushin) , but there is so much more involved in developing subconscious skills. In Chinese and Japanese cultures, the development was toward health and well being and the sport of Kyudo.(type of archery).
In his first two books, Castaneda often seem to write of his interests in the psychedelic drug of Peyote.as he explained his work. But his third book "Journey to Ixtlan" and the teaching of his spiritual guide "Don Juan"; we find his first introduction to a strong mental abilities. The "Third Eye" aspect of our subconscious mind is shown how it applied to Global Interaction of individuals minds over great distances. Was surprise to find this 50 year old book, which I bought in the 70s, is worth so much.
To understand Castaneda there is a good Youtube video called Castandea Journey to Ixtlan by Howdie Mickoski. Mention not as suggested viewing but as posssible reference if the reader was of interest to know more. The "Journey to Ixtlan" was probably the best of his books, because Castaneda began introducing his readers, many exercises that suggested the abilities of our subconscious mind.
In the title, I suggest our brains are like a biological computer, where our storage of memories from our actions is like our home computer Hard drive. With the many Gigabytes of storage, memories and experiences which build our "Muscle Memory" from survival in time of dangr to the advanced developed of Lawn Bowl Athletes who can use these stored memories.
Our sport of Lawn Bowls is more then the simple task of a delivery with it step forward and arm swing delivery movement. Some people and some literatures explaining the brain's ability as a "Third Eye" and center of intuition or the sixth Chakra. and explained as " When you focus on it, you'll feel the energy concentrated in your forehead, sometimes extending back into your head or spreading across your temples ".
In the last blog, I explained the ability to let the subconscious collect previous memories of lawn bowl deliveries and learn the distance to the jack with that memory data. This mental exercise, which I do, is the feeling they mention above but Carolas Castaneda describes this mental power as a Global Thread of Universal Thought which we all can connect and use.
Lets look at what be such an example of this power of the Subconscious mind. Believe it or not.. what follows is truth.
During a online Pachisi game last month with a New Jersey resident as my partner, she was explaining her several headaches of the last several days. I explained that my wife, who is third generation Native, was given by her father's brother (her uncle) the ability to removes headaches. Having done many mental exercises over the last 20 years, I explained I had never tired it but would try as I had seen my wife do it so many times.
After an half hour explaining the principle of "Global Thread of Universal Thought" we decided to try it. It was hard to convince her but eventually I felt her headache and she replied that although it was not completely gone; it was bearable now.
A few weeks later I was talking to my daughter who was wintering in Mexico and she had often asked her mother to remove her headache. She replied that she had a light headache and I was wondering if distance was a problem. Being family is suppose to be easier than a stranger like my partner from New Jersey.
I tried and was successful but that was one hell of a headache. I was glad it lasted for only about an hour, because I never get headaches.I Three days later when I again got that bad headache, I text her to asked it was her headache I was feeling. She and her daughter had been talking about my interaction with her three days before: she said "NO but Chloe, her daughter had been complaining all morning about her headache. I am living in Canada and this was my first attempt at this sort of interaction although I had done a lot of subconscious exercise when I was prefecting my Archery career.
Why, this ability explained here ? Although I am not of native blood, after several years of developing an instinctive style of archery and intense work to build an abilities of the mind to control my Archery performance. My concentration at the shooting line was so deep I had experience being at the target when the arrow struck and felt with the sound as if it was hitting me. Concentration, so intense that I often saw myself at the shooting line doing my Archery shot as if I was looking down at myself. Yes, an experience called "an out-of-body" experience.
I did a lot of Instinctive Archery competitions and actually won three medals at the Canadian Nationals in the late 70's. (2 gold and a silver) because I was not looking at the target but visually seeing the small "X" at the target center.. In developing my ability to see and shoot instinctively I searched for information on the ability of mental concentration and got into reading books by Carlos Castaneda. His third books were written in 1973.
One other important support of the reality of this power is in the writings about a Holy Man of the Oglata Sioux called "Black Elk". In the Poet John G Neihardt book called "Black Elk Speaks" we find the 1930 interviews and conversation as Black Elk explained his life and spirital visions from his later years at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. There are other stories from native experiences of seeing things before they actually arrived in their area like the Conquistados in Flordia and South America or the Train in the western states.
I will look for my copy of the book as there is in it a description of a vision Black Elks had which is a perfect description of flying above the clouds in a Jet. (You know that image of clouds which look like snow covered landscape) An image described and published in 1932 which was printed 50 years before planes flew that high, Black Elk was viewing through his subconscious connection (vision) an image which only could be the vision of someone who was seeing that image they experienced later, from a Jet planes flight many years later. (All of these powers , if they existed, were lost with the conquest of the American Natives, Actually, the aspirin, is a medicine from native usage)
Google AI -
- Willow Bark: While used globally, Indigenous knowledge of its pain-relieving properties (salicin) was adopted by European settlers, directly leading to the development of aspirin.

The idea that there is a Global Thread of Universal Thought which we can connect with between us is maybe explained in that my daughter is close to me and I wanted to think I removed her headaches. This Global Thread is further explained with the example of how we remember Nursery Rhymes where a world full of children's recitals make it easier to learn and remember.
Castandea suggested if you want to see this "Thread" have someone give you a hard slap on your back. The white light you see for a shot time is that Thread you can connect with.
Today, the use of computers and cellphones is that same reality and use of this Global Thread of Univeral Thought as so many people now have the experience and knowledge of the web that it is easier for the next generation to learn them. We are all able to connect with this Thread of Thought because every day as we grew up we were using it together.
This thread of Universal Thought is how I was able to remove the headaches several hundred miles away. I had worked for years exercising different aspects of my subconscious in various sports. If you are over 60 years you will understand what is the difficulty in learning or understanding these two new technology of today because like the development of "Muscle Memory" which take years of practice; we have not lived those first 60 years with this interaction.
Maybe my daughter, on the other hand, who had through Yoga exercise and Mental development learned about the "Third Eye". Maybe she was removing her own headache thinking I could do it because her mother had done it so many times. (Mexico is quite a distance)
But as for my playing partner, I had to explain and develop her confidence over about a 1/2 hour, and I insisted she had to force to think of sending it to me when she disconnected the chat. And it did not complete remove her headache but made it bearable. Something happen as I don't get headaches and that was one.
Both women were able to make the contact and complete my efforts to send me their headache. It did not last long for me, maybe an hour and was gone, but both, my partner in pachisi and my daughter were surprise of this action of help. But it shows that if several people are doing something and we have developed a link with our subconscious mind we can do many things we did not think were possible.
