Virtual Reality and its “staggering potential” for students

It was 18th Century philospher Jean-Jacques Rousseau who said, “The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.” Proponents of Virtual Reality (VR) in this, the 21st Century, would most certainly agree.

Virtual Reality is one of many advanced learning technologies utilized within the walls of the Pedemont Orphanage, the fictitious Chicago institution we devised for our orphans in book two of our thriller series The Orphan Trilogy. However, we specify it’s not VR as most of us know it.

This excerpt from The Orphan Factory explains what we are getting at: “Like most Omega technologies, it was a technology that was decades ahead of official science, and although virtual reality was widely known and available to the public, this military version had been suppressed from the masses because of its incredible power.”

US Navy personnel use a mock VR parachute trainer.

Although a suppressed form of the technology lies very much in government cover-up theories, known VR systems have already been proven to be effective in a wide variety of diverse fields.

We explore VR in some detail in our new release bestseller, GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ. An excerpt from this book follows:

Learning via this technology’s computer-simulated environment is currently used the world over in the military, medical, aviation and architectural sectors to name but a few.

VR allows users to practice as if they are actually engaging in activities in the real world. The difference between reality and virtual reality can sometimes be so small it’s indistinguishable to the human brain.

Or to put it another way, as we state in The Orphan Factory: “Carrying out assignments under the influence of this particular software was no different to performing them in real life – at least not as far as the mind was concerned.”

An article on VR appeared in Forbes on October 31, 2014, with the bold heading How Virtual Reality Could Transform Society. The article mentions that besides the current application of the technology in video games, “the true value of VR may lay in other applications. The technology has serious implications for training, education and entertainment outside the traditional game space.”

The Forbes article goes on to say that one VR company “demonstrates VR’s world-changing potential,” adding that this manufacturer’s version of the technology “could easily be used to transform military operational exercises, all kinds of training from medical to manufacturing and a host of other areas including social interaction, music, entertainment, communication, film, storytelling and having experiences that might otherwise not be possible such as free-falling, mountain climbing or swimming underwater for those incapable of doing it in reality.”

Demonstrating VR’s “world-changing potential.”

One thing’s for sure, the potential for students to learn with VR is staggering. This is exactly why various prestigious learning institutions, not to mention private individuals seeking to boost their IQ, are investing in VR headsets.

Here are just a few of the possibilities Virtual Reality has to accelerate learning:

  • Studying with other students from all over the world in virtual environments that, for education purposes, will be no different to meeting face to face.
  • Stimulating imagination and creativity in bigger and bolder ways like building bridges or cruise ships or directing explosive action sequences in blockbuster movies on virtual film sets.
  • Doing things that are impossible in the real world such as transcending space and time by entering a VR simulated mock-up of ancient Egypt from a classroom.

VR will likely lead to endless possibilities throughout the 21st Century, and early adopters of this incredible technology may very well become more intelligent than those who are slower to embrace it.

Brain gland activation may hold key to using more of our brain

Posted: December 31, 2014 in Genius Intelligence, Underground Knowledge

Studies have shown that all individuals have a certain amount of dormant or underdeveloped brain areas. (Every human brain ever mapped scientifically has shown at least some inactive cells and neurons). This area of neuroscience, especially concerning little known brain glands, may hold the answer as to why we only use such a small percentage of our brains.

We explore the intriguing phenomenon that is brain gland activation in our new release bestseller GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ. An excerpt from this book follows…

Important and often dormant, semi-dormant or underutilized brain glands include fairly well known ones like the pineal gland. This powerful gland, which has been known about since ancient times, is said to be well developed in most persons of high intellect and produces the serotonin-derived hormone melatonin.

Less reported glands and interrelated areas of the brain include the pituitary (nicknamed the body’s master gland), which controls most other hormone-secreting glands, the thalamus (necessary for planning and decision-making), the amygdala, which can bypass thought and instantly react, the hippocampus (one of the only areas of the brain where neurogenesis or the birthing of new neurons can occur) and the hypothalamus (crucial for memory and learning).

In our international thriller series The Orphan Trilogy, we show how all these parts of the brain can be stimulated into activity in a variety of ways, including magnetism.

As we wrote in book two in the trilogy: “Rare earth magnets were embedded inside each helmet for the purpose of activating certain brain glands. Glands that were dormant in the average person.”

Neuromagnetic helmets and similar brain stimulation technologies are not just confined to the realms of fiction.

A neuromagnetic signal generator.

Transcranial direct current stimulation, or TDCS, is one type of brain stimulation technique used in the real world. It’s carried out by applying a helmet or cap to the individual’s head. TDCS targets specific parts of the brain with low voltage electrical currents. This allows for the alteration of electrical states of neurons in targeted areas of the brain.

TDCS is in its infancy, but early studies have shown it enhances motor skills, memory recall and concentration. As a result, the US military now employs TDCS to assist fighter pilots, snipers and other personnel.

In a BBC news article dated July 22, 2014, TDCS is explored in relation to making sleep-learning possible. “In the near future, technology may offer further ways of upgrading the brain’s sleep cycles. Memory consolidation is thought to occur during specific, slow, oscillations of electrical activity, so the idea here is to subtly encourage those brain waves without waking the subject.

“Jan Born, at the University of Tubingen,” the article continues, “has been at the forefront of these experiments. In 2004, he found that he could help amplify those signals using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which passes a small electric current across the skull, successfully improving his subjects’ performance on a verbal memory test.”

In 2013, several TDCS inventions became commercially available to the public for the first time.

Leading UK newspaper The Guardian ran an article on February 5, 2014 under the heading Can an electronic headset make you a better video gamer? The article mentions a specific device that “uses the principles of tDCS – transcranial direct current stimulation – sending a small current of between 0.8 and 2.0mA through the prefrontal cortex through electrodes positioned on your forehead.”

Although the technology is still being refined, many video gamers all over the world are reporting increased mental concentration and better performance. This bodes well for other types of mental exercises – like academic study for example – especially as the TDCS devices become more honed.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, is a similar non-invasive brain enhancement technology except it uses magnets instead of electricity. TMS’s magnetic fields are capable of altering neurons in targeted areas of the brain.

TMS in action.

Neuromagnetic helmets and similar devices have been nicknamed ‘zap caps’ and preliminary studies show they have the potential to improve brain function in numerous ways.

Another article that ran in The Guardian nicely summarized a recent scientific study that proves TMS’s positive influences on the brain. The August 2014 article states that “memory can be boosted by using a magnetic field to stimulate part of the brain, a study has shown. The effect lasts at least 24 hours after the stimulation is given, improving the ability of volunteers to remember words linked to photos of faces.”

The Guardian article quotes Dr Joel Voss, from Northwestern University, in Chicago, as saying: “We show for the first time that you can specifically change memory functions of the brain in adults without surgery or drugs, which have not proven effective. This non-invasive stimulation improves the ability to learn new things.”

TMS technologies stimulate the brain.

The latest studies also show that TMS can specifically stimulate the hippocampus, which oversees and directs the entire brain including crucial glands. Formerly it was believed the hippocampus was too deeply embedded in the brain to be stimulated by TMS. However, scientists have recently discovered the hippocampus can be stimulated indirectly via connected brain structures within the reach of TMS’s magnetic fields.

Another potential method of increasing activity in specific brain glands like the pituitary is by ingesting an unusual substance called Ormus. (See Chapter 11 for more on Ormus).

Sleep-learning may not be limited to the world of fiction

Posted: December 30, 2014 in Genius Intelligence, Underground Knowledge

In academic circles, it’s fair to say the debate continues over the effectiveness, or otherwise, of hypnopædia, or sleep-learning. And although still not conclusive, some research has shown the subconscious mind is very receptive to absorbing knowledge whilst we sleep. (Hypnopædia, incidentally, comes from the Greek hypnos, meaning ‘sleep’, and paideia, meaning ‘education’). 

Sleep learning - you must be dreaming!

The debate is nothing new. There are numerous references to hypnopædia in Aldous Huxley’s 1932 dystopian novel Brave New World. Thirty years later, this unusual learning method was also mentioned in A Clockwork Orange, another dystopian novel, by Anthony Burgess.

We even include hypnopædia in the education of our fictitious orphans in book two of our international thriller series The Orphan Trilogy. Their education continues through the night; audio courses play through headphones and they’re able to learn new subjects like high finance or foreign languages while asleep.

The popularity of Brave New World and similar bestselling novels coincided with the release of positive results of preliminary studies into sleep-learning, ensuring that hypnopædia became relatively well known around the world and interest in it blossomed.

However, from the early 1960’s onwards, more in-depth scientific studies were conducted in laboratories in the US and the UK, disproving the theory that humans could learn during sleep.

Even though many students in numerous countries kept claiming they achieved better exam results after listening to audio recordings on subjects whilst asleep, official studies simply did not confirm this. As a result, hypnopædia was discredited for about 50 years and slipped into obscurity in scientific and education circles.

Only in the last few years has the potential learning method resurfaced. Recent studies are beginning to contradict earlier experiments and it may not be long before hypnopædia is proven to be a valid form of education.

For example, on August 29, 2012, The Huffington Post ran a news article under the headline Sleep Learning May Be Possible: Study. The article mentioned a new study by researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, which demonstrated test subjects learnt new information while asleep.

In an interrelated experiment, scientists at Illinois’ Northwestern University discovered that taking a 90-minute nap immediately after studying helps solidify knowledge in the brain. They taught new things – both physical and mental – to people and then tested them on how well they remembered and applied the knowledge taught.

There were two groups involved: one whose members slept after learning and one whose members stayed awake the whole time. Those who slept in the lab after studying showed significantly better mastery of the subject matter when tested.

Dream on: Sleeping shortly after learning something is the best way to remember it later, according to a new study

NBC’s Today published an article about the subject on September 11, 2014 which concurred with other recent findings.

“Research is beginning to show that our brains don’t go completely offline during a doze,” the article states, “but are actually busy organizing and storing away memories of events — and may be quite open to other activities.

“In fact,” the article continues, “a new study has shown that the brain can be started on a task just as a person is dropping off to sleep and then, during slumber, take in new auditory information and then process it, according to a report published Thursday in Current Biology.”

So hypnopædia is once again on the scientific radar, and it may not be long before this unorthodox and rare technique is conclusively proven to be a genuine learning method. Until then, many students, professionals and academics will continue to listen to audio recordings as they sleep and many will also continue to provide positive testimonials.

 

“While the child was asleep, a broadcast programme from London suddenly started to come through; and the next morning…Little Reuben woke up repeating word for word a long lecture by that curious old writer…The principle of sleep-teaching, or hypnopædia, had been discovered…The principle had been discovered; but many, many years were to elapse before that principle was usefully applied…They thought that hypnopædia could be made an instrument of intellectual education.” –Aldous Huxley, Brave New World.

Brainwave entrainment and other accelerated learning techniques

Posted: December 29, 2014 in Genius Intelligence, Underground Knowledge

Brainwaves are a crucial part of accelerated learning techniques. It’s proven that when individuals move out of normal waking brainwaves (beta) into other brainwaves (alpha, theta, delta and gamma) they enter the ideal state in which to absorb new information. Whether the learning is analyzing complex equations, or memorizing facts, or becoming an expert in martial arts, it makes no difference. 

Brainwaves

We address brainwaves and brain frequencies in our conspiracy thriller The Ninth Orphan (The Orphan Trilogy, #1) – and here’s a relevant excerpt from that novel:

 

With the help of virtual reality and biofeedback technologies, the orphans were taught how to guide their minds to reach certain brain frequencies – like Alpha, Theta and Delta – at will. The purpose of slipping into these particular frequencies was to allow the right brain to take over, as opposed to the left-brained consciousness dominant in most people. Whenever the orphans needed to access their higher intelligences, they would enter a daydream and simply intuit the answers. That way, they could bypass thinking, and just know. Within the Omega family, intuition was favored over logical thought patterns.

 

Our children at Chicago’s fictitious Pedemont Orphanage use brainwave generators and biofeedback machines to reach the optimal frequency for study. This method of altering the mind is known as brainwave entrainment.

Gamma brainwaves, which are the highest frequency brainwave, are held in high regard at the orphanage.

As we wrote in The Orphan Factory, book two in our trilogy: “The children performed mind photography in uncommon brainwaves for regular wakeful consciousness. In this case it was predominantly gamma waves, and it allowed them to tap into the genius of their subconscious minds.”

We explore brainwave entrainment, along with other learning technologies, in some detail in our new release book GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ.

Besides being present while learning languages or forming new ideas, Gamma waves are also vital for recalling memories. And the faster the gamma brainwave, the faster the memory recall is – yet another advantage in doing things at speed.

A common goal in most brainwave entrainment technologies or techniques is hemispheric synchronization. This ideal state occurs when the right and left hemispheres of the brain become harmonized or in synch and share similar or identical brainwaves. Studies have shown that when individuals have both hemispheres operating in similar brainwaves like this they are far more likely to learn and digest new information.

Left and Right Hemispheres of the Brain

Left and right brain hemispheres.

Einstein puts his own spin on it.

Furthermore, from such studies it is also apparent that most high IQ individuals, and those whom society describes as geniuses, have their brain hemispheres in synch more often than the average person.

In some cases this is a form of conscious self-programming where the genius is fully aware of the ideal brain state he or she needs to be in to perform complex mental feats – and also has the ability to mentally guide him or herself at will into hemispheric synchronization.

In many other cases, however, it is just a fortunate skill they have been born with, and the individual is completely unaware of their good luck in inheriting such a tool. Geniuses who lived before the invention of EEG equipment and the discovery of specific types of brainwaves would likely fit into this category.

Some modern brainwave technologies used to achieve hemispheric synchronization include biofeedback machines, purposefully designed audio recordings (such as binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones), and hypnagogic light and sound machines.

Another impressive technology that has been shown to significantly alter brainwaves and put users in the ideal state for learning is Dr. Patrick Flanagan’s Neurophone.

Invented in 1958 when Flanagan was only 13 years old, the Neurophone is a US-patented electronic nervous system excitation device that transmits sound to the brain through the skin and via the nervous system.

The invention earned the American doctor a profile in a 1962 edition Life magazine while he was still in his teens. Life referred to him as a “unique, mature and inquisitive scientist”. His website mentions Dr. Flanagan “has continued to develop the Neurophone and it is currently being sold as an aid to speed learning.”

Wanna develop a genius mindset? Outrun the conscious mind!

Posted: December 27, 2014 in Genius Intelligence, Underground Knowledge
Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Developing a genius mindset essentially comes down to two things: operating at speed and using the subconscious mind more than the conscious. This intuitive or relaxed approach to study is the polar opposite of traditional and mainstream forms of education. 

As we wrote in The Orphan Factory, book two in our thriller series, “The subconscious was always favored over the everyday conscious mind, which was considered too slow to be effective.”

We explore this in depth in our new release book GENIOUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ.

Product Details

Apart from some artistic subjects like music or dance, learning institutions generally require pupils to concentrate hard at all times. In other words, students have no choice but to always use their conscious minds, thereby suppressing the great reservoir of the subconscious.

When we are forced to think s-l-o-w-l-y like this our brain functions at well below optimum levels. That’s why school students often feel exhausted as studying in this fashion is incredibly draining.

But how can we feel mentally drained when neuroscientists and brain researchers agree we each only use a tiny percentage of our brain?

In our thriller series, our orphan-operatives often go into a daydream state whenever they need answers to life-and-death situations. This is because when you defocus you allow your intuitive self, or your subconscious mind, to deliver the answers you need. It just happens, without reaching for it.

We’ve all experienced pondering a problem all day long only to find we receive the solution when forgetting about the problem and thinking of something else. When we stop concentrating so hard, we allow our subconscious to flourish, and those who do this more than others are sometimes called geniuses.

As head of Chicago’s (fictitious) Pedemont Orphanage, Tommy Kentbridge says to his students in The Orphan Factory, “The subconscious mind is where all higher intelligences exist. Every genius throughout history – Tesla, Einstein, Da Vinci – tapped into the infinite power of their subconscious minds.”

The Orphan Factory (The Orphan Trilogy Book 2)

A factory-line for geniuses.

Studies have shown the subconscious mind can process around 11 million bits of information per second. The conscious mind, however, can only process about 15 to 16 bits of information per second.

Quite a difference!

One of the best ways to bring the subconscious mind into the equation is to outrun the conscious mind by going so fast it literally can’t keep up. So, at Chicago’s Pedemont Orphanage, our orphans do everything at speed. They’re also taught how to learn things indirectly instead of directly. By skirting around the edges of complex subjects, the children never get information overload or lose their way.

As we wrote in The Ninth Orphan, “In the tradition of Leonardo da Vinci and history’s other great polymaths, the children were taught how to fully understand anything by using an advanced mental technique where they would simply life their minds into comprehension.”

To life your mind into comprehension is once again the polar opposite of modern education systems which imply there’s only one way to learn: consciously and with intense concentration.

While this indirect way of learning may sound flaky, it is actually backed up by hard science and is not remotely mystical. This approach is about brainwaves and understanding, or recognizing, the optimal state for learning.

When you hit the right groove, it’s possible to learn quickly and in a satisfying, even enjoyable, fashion.

It is that singularity of mind top sportsmen and martial arts masters achieve. Psychologists sometimes refer to this ultimate mental state as the zone, but it’s really just about having the most effective brainwaves for learning.

MRI scan of a brain

A high quality brain scan.

Any time study feels laborious the student is most likely in the beta brainwave, which occurs when the conscious mind is governing. A beta-dominant mind is the perfect recipe for mediocrity and boredom.

The subconscious mind comes into play in other less common brainwaves such as alpha, gamma, theta and delta. These brainwaves have also been shown to be activated when test subjects are laughing, daydreaming, meditating, singing, dancing or spontaneously moving about.

Now how many math or English teachers would tolerate those activities in their classrooms?

What if there really is a much quicker, less methodical way of learning that allows you to learn without learning?

Sounds paradoxical, doesn’t it?

Meet William James Sidis (IQ 250 plus) and other IQ giants in new book

A book critic who reviewed The Ninth Orphan, book one in our thriller series, criticized our protagonist Nine (the ninth-born orphan) for having an IQ, or intelligence quotient, higher than Einstein’s. The strong implication in the review was that this was a ridiculous character decision we, the authors, had made.

Einstein 1921 by F Schmutzer - restoration.jpg

Einstein’s IQ shaded by others.

That all sounds like a valid criticism on the surface, but had this critic gone beyond his own sphere of knowledge and done a little research he would have discovered there are many people whose IQ’s have been recorded to be higher than Einstein’s.

We address this in our new release book GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ in which we highlight the intelligence quotient of other amazing individuals.

American author Marilyn Vos Savant, for example, has an IQ of 192; Russian chess grandmaster and former world champion Garry Kasparov has an IQ of 194. Incidentally, Einstein’s IQ was estimated in the 1920’s to between 160 and 190.

But wait, there’s much more when it comes to the world of super geniuses…

Quite a few individuals have tested in excess of a 200 IQ score, including South Korean civil engineer Kim Ung-yong (210), former child prodigy and NASA employee Christopher Hirata (225) and Australian mathematician Terence Tao (225-230).

And last but not least is American child prodigy, mathematician and politician William James Sidis who had an IQ of 250-300. He graduated grammar school at age six, went to Harvard University at age 11 and graduated cum laude at the age of 16. Sidis, who died in 1944, could fluently speak 40 languages by the time he reached adulthood.

William James Sidis 1914.jpg

William James Sidis…IQ 250 plus.

Remember, the average IQ is 100 and approximately 50% of those tested score between 90 and 110.

According to the book IQ and the Wealth of Nations, by Dr. Richard Lynn and Dr. Tatu Vanhanen, the top five countries in terms of average IQ’s of their citizens are Hong Kong (107), South Korea (106), Japan (105), Taiwan (104) and Singapore (103). Further down the list, China, New Zealand and the UK share equal 12th position with a 100 average, while the US is in 19th position with an average citizen IQ of 98.

However, many scholars in the 21st Century now believe IQ scores aren’t everything and it’s likely areas of intelligence exist that cannot be measured in any test. This is possibly substantiated by the number of successful and iconic individuals who recorded very low IQ scores. These include the once highly articulate and outspoken boxer Muhammad Ali who, as a young man, scored only 78 – an IQ so low it supposedly denotes a mild mental disability!

And of course, the list of the world’s so-called most intelligent excludes extremely bright individuals in impoverished parts of the world where IQ’s are, or were, rarely tested. The Indian mathematical genius, Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920), was an example of such incredible geniuses who defy all explanation.

Dr. Takaaki Musha refers to Ramanujan in the Foreword of GENIUS INTELLIGENCE, mentioning how he was inspired by the gentleman’s advanced mathematical findings.

Born into poverty in Erode, India, Ramanujan discovered extraordinary mathematical formulas despite being self-taught with no formal training in mathematics. He changed the face of mathematics as we know it and left many highly-educated and acclaimed Western mathematicians completely gobsmacked.

Furthermore, the other high-IQ individuals mentioned earlier are only in the top bracket of those who agreed to undergo IQ tests and allow their scores to be published.

It’s quite conceivable certain elite individuals belonging to secret societies, mystery schools or intelligence agencies do not reveal their IQ scores. That secret intelligence factor was the basis for our fictional Pedemont orphans in The Orphan Trilogy whom we either state or imply have IQ’s of around 200 or higher.

The Orphan Trilogy (The Ninth Orphan / The Orphan Factory / The Orphan Uprising)

Pedemont orphans veritable geniuses..

As a result of the accelerated learning techniques within the diverse curriculum that begins before they can even walk or talk, the orphans can assimilate and retain phenomenal amounts of information. By their teens, the child prodigies are more knowledgeable even than adult geniuses. They can solve complex problems, are fully knowledgeable about almost any current world subject or historical event, and are to all intents and purposes organic supercomputers and human library databases.

Our orphans are exposed to highly advanced learning methods so that they will have at their disposal all the necessary skills and information to be able to overcome life-and-death problems that may arise on future espionage assignments. They’re taught there is no challenge or question that cannot be overcome, solved or answered as long as they fully utilize the power of their minds.

Each child at the Pedemont Orphanage eventually becomes a polymath – a person who is beyond a genius. It’s a word we use throughout the trilogy as we felt it best describes the orphans’ off-the-scale intellects.

A polymath is actually a multiple-subject genius. However, the criterion for a polymath is someone who is an expert in vastly different, almost unrelated fields. For example, an artist who works in the film, theatre and literary industries and who is a masterful actor, screenwriter, novelist, film director and film producer would not qualify as a polymath as those fields are all artistic mediums and closely related.

Rather, a polymath is someone who has excelled in, or completely mastered, a variety of unrelated or loosely related subjects. These could be as diverse as economics, dance, architecture, mathematics, history, forensic science, cooking and entomology.

And before you go calling yourself a polymath, don’t forget you must be an expert in each field. Unfortunately being a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none doesn’t count.

One of the best examples of a polymath is Leonardo da Vinci.

Born in Italy in 1452, Leonardo was a sculptor, painter, architect, mathematician, musician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, botanist, geologist, cartographer and writer. Although he received an informal education that included geometry, Latin and mathematics, he was essentially an autodidact, or a self-taught individual.

The man who many have called the most diversely talented person who ever lived, left behind an array of masterpieces in the painting world alone, including The Last Supper, Mona Lisa and The Vitruvian Man.

Our new release book GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ has been a regular visitor to Amazon’s Bestseller Lists since its recent publication, and it currently holds Amazon’s No.1 ranking in Experimental Education.

Co-authored by James & Lance Morcan with Foreword by Dr. Takaaki Musha, GENIUS INTELLIGENCE covers the following topics (in order):

1 Genius techniques of the elite

2 Polymaths and high-IQ individuals

3 Outrunning the conscious mind

4 Speed-reading

5 Brainwave entrainment

6 Sleep-learning

7 Brain gland activation

8 Polyglots and savants

9 Virtual reality

10 Superluminal particles

11 Ormus

12 Sensory deprivation

13 The high-IQ diet

14 Smart drugs

15 Meditation & Yoga

16 Midbrain activation

17 Hypnosis

18 Other genius methods

 

In Chapter 1 (Genius techniques of the elite) we reveal our thinking on education – both the mainstream variety and the secret, or hidden, variety only certain favored people have access to.

It has long been speculated that secret societies, mystery schools, intelligence agencies and other clandestine organizations have advanced learning methods superior to anything taught in even the most prestigious universities. Methods which are only ever taught to the chosen few – initiates who have all sworn an oath to keep the group’s syllabus in house and never reveal any of the teachings to outsiders.

On the rare occasions the public get wind of these types of advanced learning techniques – usually via information leaked to the Internet, sometimes via published books – they are seldom tested or given the attention they deserve and so largely remain in obscurity. One reason for this could be the advanced techniques are often not comprehensible because whoever is behind them has withheld the overall curriculum.

There’s many a tale of mysterious figures from secretive groups mastering skills, languages and even complex career paths so quickly that most would say it’s impossible.

But that opinion assumes we common people know of, or have access to, all the learning methods known to man.

If we are to assume there are superior learning methods not taught in our mainstream education system then this naturally leads to other questions.

What if your child’s top-notch education is actually a second-rate education?

Or, if you are a student, what if that professor you look up to is no mastermind, but just a tool of an inferior learning institution?

None of this is to disrespect formal education. It plays a vital role in society and the betterment of Mankind, and only a fool would doubt the importance of getting a good education.

Nor are we suggesting there isn’t the odd learning institution that teaches at least some accelerated learning techniques, although such establishments would probably exist on the fringes of mainstream education.

The Montessori system is possibly one such example as it allows children to have greater freedom of expression and to learn in playful and organic ways.

Successful alumni of the Montessori education system include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, tennis champion Roger Federer and Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

In general, however, accelerated learning methods are more likely to be found outside the modern education system.

Let’s face it, wherever in the world you go, real prodigies are the exception not the norm in the present system. Those rare individuals whom society labels as geniuses are almost always freaks of nature and are naturally gifted rather than being diligent students who became geniuses as a result of their education.

 

“I’ll be a genius and the world will admire me. Perhaps I’ll be despised and misunderstood, but I’ll be a genius, a great genius.” – Salvador Dalí. Written in his diary at the age of 16.

Acclaimed scientist endorses newly released ‘Genius Intelligence’

In his foreword to our new release book GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ, acclaimed Japanese scientist Dr. Takaaki Musha says this is “a much needed book for those who sense there are faster and easier ways to learn and study than the methods currently being taught in mainstream education systems.”

Dr. Takaaki Musha…high hopes for Genius Intelligence.

Dr. Musha, who is Director of Japan’s Advanced-Science Technology Research Organization, Yokohama, was formerly a senior research scientist developing naval underwater weapon systems at the Technical Research and Development Institute of Japan’s Ministry of Defense.

An excerpt from Dr. Musha’s foreword follows:

During this period (at the Ministry of Defense) I spent a lot of time in my private life studying Number Theory, which is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers, or whole numbers.

From this mathematical research, I came across the enigma of Srinivasa Ramanujan, an Indian genius mathematician who, with almost no formal training, discovered many complex formulas and made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis and number theory. Ramanujan often said the Goddess of Namakkal inspired him with formulae at night while he was dreaming and that each morning, upon awakening, he would write down the results of these vivid dreams.

Srinivasa Ramanujan…a born genius.

For many years, I could not understand the mental processes that lead to Ramanujan’s advanced mathematical findings. However, after studying the human brain from the standpoint of superluminal particles, I eventually came to the conclusion that everyone’s brain has the potential to connect to an outer field of consciousness, which has also been termed by more mystical thinkers as the Universal Mind.

To summarize my research on the brain, I wrote Superluminal Particles and Hypercomputation, which was published by LAMBERT Academic Publishing in early 2014. Soon after its publication, I was contacted by James Morcan, one of the authors of Genius Intelligence, who felt that my theories on superluminal particles could support his and Lance Morcan’s suppositions about the nature of genius.

This book you are now reading contains a wide range of genius methods – all of which have the potential to increase your IQ. You’ll read about everything from speed reading to brain gland activation to sleep learning to smart drugs to virtual reality training.

I believe this is a much needed book for those who sense there are faster and easier ways to learn and study than the methods currently being taught in mainstream education systems.

Lastly, I sincerely hope that the publication of Genius Intelligence contributes to a global awakening to assist us to hold enough truth in our minds to change this world for better.

Genius intelligence the result of nature or nurture?

Posted: December 21, 2014 in Genius Intelligence, Underground Knowledge

In our new release book GENIUS INTELLIGENCE: Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ, we draw the conclusion – based on over a decade’s research – that genius intelligence is more the result of nurture than nature.

This assertion has sparked quite a debate – in our ‘Underground Knowledge’ discussion group on Goodreads.com and elsewhere. One group member, who professes to be a genius and has the IQ (182) to confirm this, insists geniuses are born.

We (my co-writer and I) beg to differ.

Our research clearly shows that higher intelligence is not necessarily something you’re born with or genetically predisposed toward. In fact, most instances of above-the-ordinary intelligences are usually acquired thru superior learning techniques – many of which we cover in detail in our book.

Reading about the greatest minds in history, including recent history, more often than not reveals the individuals concerned (or people close to them) employed specific learning methods. The examples we cite throughout our book shatter the myth that geniuses are always born with exceptional intelligence and/or talent.

Certainly, there are those born with amazing abilities not fostered by educational methods, but our research has revealed these naturally gifted geniuses are definitely the exception, not the norm.

A classic example of this natural born genius myth is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart whom most believe was simply a wunderkind, or virtuoso, from infancy. Many brain researchers have also described the Austrian composer as someone who just had incredible musical and artistic abilities from birth.

 

 Mozart as a child.

However, as with most geniuses, there is a significant body of evidence to support the contentious theory that Mozart’s brilliance was as much the result of nurture as it was nature, if not more so.

It is true the musical prodigy was composing by five, and by seven or so he was performing for audiences throughout Europe. And while achievements like that, at those early ages, are certainly extraordinary, the key point is that Mozart came from a musical family and was pushed to excel musically. As soon as he could walk and talk, in fact, or even earlier if you stop to consider he was exposed to classical compositions while still in his mother’s womb.

The young Mozart’s father Leopold was a renowned composer in his own right and an ambitious musical teacher who wanted his son to achieve greatness. History tells us that Leopold forced Mozart Junior to practice for many hours a day even before he had reached school age.

It has been estimated that by the time Mozart was six he had already spent about 4000 hours studying music.

Perhaps a modern-day equivalent to Mozart’s father would be someone like Richard Williams, father of legendary American tennis champions Serena and Venus Williams. Upon deciding tennis was the way out of the ‘ghetto’, Williams Sr. pushed his daughters day after day from a young age in his relentless quest for them to become world champions.

Classical music experts have noted that many of Mozart’s childhood compositions are mostly rearrangements of other (older) composers’ works. Not being experts in classical music – or any music for that matter – we can’t comment, but if true that would further undermine the enduring myth about the great composer being an innate genius who could rely solely on his natural talent and who hardly needed to practice.

We found that nine out of ten biographies of geniuses reveal forgotten or previously unmentioned examples of intelligence-enhancing techniques and/or technologies these individuals employed on their path to greatness.

Traditionally, IQ has been perceived as a genetic trait in much the same way an individual’s height or body type is perceived – in other words a fixed trait, or state, and therefore (thought to be) something that could never be altered.

In recent years, however, there has been an explosion of new scientific studies, which make a mockery of that assumption. These show that cognitive training, whether by mental techniques or brain enhancement technologies, can definitely deliver intelligence-boosting effects.

Certainly, you need some natural aptitude to excel in most facets of life – be it mental, physical or artistic – but if genius was simply a matter of inheriting good genes, then many more of us would be geniuses.
