are right will provide you output in the way of I
hunches or Eurekas! that will take you from
mediocrity to genius.
I will very carefully take you through the
I components of the human biocomputer, particularly
the components that affect the way we succeed or fail
to reach our goals. First we will look at the hardware
of the human biocomputer.
Before I embarked on the biocomputer project I
asked many people, including a lot of children under
the age of ten, what was the difference between the
brain and the mind? Many of the people I questioned
could not answer even in the most simplistic of terms.
Many tried, but got lost half way through their
explanations. Many people did not try at all. Others
tried hard but got just too complicated. The answer I
liked most of all was from a wonderful nine year old
girl, Abra Pickford. She told me "the brain was the
real thing, you know, all blood and guts actually
inside the head. The mind was something completely
intangible, you know, something really hard to talk
about." I would say she summed it up very well, but I
would like to expand just a little.
I would say that the brain was the hardware. The
actual physical organ of blood and tissue that we
carry around with us in our heads. The mind is the
software, the programs that have been inserted into
the neurons in our biocomputer.
The average brain weighs between 45 and 50
I ounces and is an over abundance of hardware. To say
we use five percent of our brains is in my opinion a
I gross over exaggeration. We should be so lucky! We
don't even scratch the surface of the true potential of
what we could do with our biocomputers, as you will
shortly see.
The biocomputer consists of two hemispheres that
