faith is related to Contributor confidence. It is possible for an awake
Contributor to build upon a foundation of mesmerized Perceiver and/or
Server thought. This leads to blind 'faith.'Frontal Cortex The front half of the cortex, which in turn is the folded
sheet of material which appears on the surface of the brain. This region
contains the internal world of thought. Each of the four simple styles
has access to a portion of frontal cortex. Memories can only enter into
frontal cortex by passing one of the four „doormen‟ which stand guard
over the entrance. Humans have a much larger frontal cortex than do
animals; this is one of the major brain differences between humans and
animals.
Guilt The negative Mercy feeling which comes from triggering
conscience. Perceiver thought knows that there is a connection between
some good Mercy experience and a bad Mercy result. Because Mercy
thought has identified with the good Mercy experience, Perceiver
strategy predicts that Mercy strategy will also have to identify with the
bad Mercy result.
Identification The mental step which places an experience within the
internal world of Mercy thought. If an experience, in some particular
context, has stronger emotions than related memories which already
reside within the Mercy internal world, then identification is
involuntary.
Imagination The inner flow of thought. Imagination can be verbal,
associated with the left hemisphere, or visual, connected with the right
hemisphere. The three composite styles are responsible for generating
imagination. Exhorter thought, the first stage, comes up with ideas,
pictures, words, and drive. Contributor mode, the second stage,
combines these elements to produce an internal „movie‟ of plans and
situations. Facilitator strategy, the third stage, fills in the gaps of this
internal „movie‟ and makes it smooth and realistic.
Internal World Each of the four simple styles has its own internal
world. This is a region of thought where memories enter by invitation
only. The internal world allows a person to become unique, because he
can choose how it is developed. The internal world is contained within
the frontal cortex.
Knowing The solidness of a specific Perceiver (or Server) memory. If
the Perceiver observer is awake, then knowing corresponds to
confidence. If Perceiver thought is mesmerized, then the strength of
'knowing' (written with single quotes) is a measure of the depth of
Perceiver hypnosis.
Me The set of Mercy memories upon which Mercy thought can continue
to concentrate. Me is usually divided into two parts: the me of Mercy
identification and the me of the physical body. The former is formed by
