! There are two opposing systems of control in the brain. ! These systems affect how you experience and what you do. ! There is one for the lower brain and one for the higher brain.

The lower brain !  Uses little to no awareness. !  Uses automatic/instinctual/autopilot mechanisms to control ! What you pay attention to ! How you “see” (experience) things, ! What you do ! How you think/what you believe. Copyright © SatoriWest

The higher brain !  Uses awareness to: ! know what it happening around and inside you. ! To know itself (“self-”/reflective awareness) !  Consciously guides and directs: ! What you pay attention to ! How you “see” (experience) things, ! What you do ! How you think/what you believe.

These two regulatory systems compete with each other. Higher brain Lower brain

They compete with each other for control over what you experience, believe and do. Lower brain

What you experience, believe, do

11/10/13

Higher brain

What and how you experience, believe and do is a collection of different schemata. One schema:

Stimulus triggering response Stimulus of: • Senses, • Body information, • Mind activity • Physical actions.

Responses: • Senses, • Body information, • Mind activity • Physical actions.

Schema

S-R

Stimulus triggering response Seeing fruit

Hunger

Thoughts of food

Being on a bicycle

Pedaling

Angry face

Fear

Sad emotions

Negative thoughts

Flash of light

Eye blink

The response of one schema is the stimulus for another. Schemata cluster in groups creating: • Skills, talents, • Attitudes, beliefs, • Habits in the way you experience • Memories, your identity • etc.

11/10/13

Each side competes for control over each schema and the flow of schemata. Higher brain Lower brain

11/10/13

Lower brain control: (Stimulus triggers response) has the advantage with ingrained instincts, repetition of habits, schema with survival value. Higher brain Lower brain

11/10/13

Higher brain control: Stimulus met with awareness/control/ Intention shaping responses. Higher brain has an advantage when smarter responses need awareness of now/ context/ perspective/choice of schemata. .

Inshifting skills: helps tilt the see-saw in this direction more of the time. (Depending on the schema being processed.) .

Lower brain Higher brain

Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of processing their schemata depends on their Inshifting skills and the nature of the schemata with which they are programmed. There are 4 levels of experience and functioning that reflect states and traits of functioning. Lower brain

Where is the higher and lower brain?

11/10/13

Higher Brain Understanding the higher brain begins with this fact: You have two separate brains! Right half

Left half

Each half has its own awareness! Copyright ÂŠ SatoriWest

11/10/13

Higher Brain Our model is that simple awareness and basic control for each side of your brain arises fromâ&#x20AC;Ś Right half

Left half Frontal lobes

Parietal lobes

â&#x20AC;Śa unique interaction between executive cells (E) in each frontal lobe directly attached to and resonating back and forth with multisensory cells (S) in each posterior (parietal) lobe. Copyright ÂŠ SatoriWest 11/10/13

Higher Brain Our model is that self-awareness and executive control arise from… Right half

Left half

11/10/13

Lower brain The rest of the brain (the rest of the cortex and below) make up the lower brain... Right half

Left half

Organized by schema connections (memory quanta) between senses, body, mind and actions. Copyright ÂŠ SatoriWest 11/10/13

Learning to selectively stimulate the 4 groups of cells (2 left and 2 right) and the connections between themâ&#x20AC;Ś.(ie self-awareness and executive control)

Right half

Left half

While releasing the power and control of the rest of the brain (i.e. separating schemata connections with awareness and control). Copyright ÂŠ SatoriWest

Heightened awareness / selfawareness and intention / executive control.

Released, let go, defocused (put in background) “automatic” interactions between senses, body states, mind and actions.
