Preface
“The uniqueness of the work of consciousness lies in the fact that it likes to study its own activity.”
Thanks to advances in technology and the advent of neuroimaging equipment, we have already learned a lot about higher cognitive functions, and more discoveries are yet to be made.
In this book, I will try to reveal how the human brain changes evolutionarily.
Studies have shown that in the future, a person’s perception of the world around him will significantly change, cognitive and intellectual abilities will improve many times over.
This discovery represents an important step in understanding the functional development of the brain and could have crucial implications for the fields of medicine, psychology, education and shaping the future of all humanity.
However, it should be noted that the path to these discoveries was not easy and involved many experiments and scientific research. Let me walk you through this fascinating process.
Nature, in its infinite wise design, has endowed the human brain with a unique potential that we are only just beginning to comprehend. Such a complex organ, capable of higher forms of cognitive activity, keeps secrets, revealing which, we can not only better understand ourselves, but also open up new horizons of unlimited possibilities of the mind itself.
Studies of the effects of mental practices on the brain have shown how deeply we can penetrate into our own mental processes and how little we still know about our potentialities. What I managed to find is very reminiscent of the script of a science fiction movie, but this is an objective reality confirmed by scientific data.
We are on the cusp of a new era in neurophysiology, where each discovery further expands our understanding of the functional features of the brain. In this book, I will focus on those aspects of acquired knowledge that can be scientifically substantiated, although I admit that it has not been easy to express them in logical form. But when you have a clear vision of the goal, every piece of information, every observation becomes part of a bigger picture that can be put together.
The knowledge that I was lucky enough to acquire a few years ago came in such an unexpected way that it continues to amaze me to this day. It was not just a sudden insight or insight, but rather it is possible to say that I had received answers that seemed ready and waiting for their time to be discovered.
So let’s start our journey from the beginning, from the moment that changed my life and led to a series of discoveries that I will cover in this book. Let me take you along the path that, by a happy coincidence, I managed to go through, and share with you an amazing story about how in an instant, the brain can change not only our perception of the world, but also our entire life in general.
That day began as usual, with a gray sky, drizzling rain and the monotonous movement of the car through the morning traffic jams. The radio played softly in the background, creating the illusion of company in the solitude of my journey. Thoughts were scattered like autumn leaves on a windy day, chaotic and chaotic. They swirled in my head, uninvited and unwanted, echoes of yesterday’s worries and tomorrow’s plans.
But I was no longer the kind of person who meekly allowed myself to be ruled by an endless stream of thought. In recent months, I have devoted myself to the mental practice of silence, seeking to find peace within myself and learn to let go of the internal dialogue that has so often robbed me of my perception of the real world. And at that moment, standing in a traffic jam, I decided that this was the perfect time for the practice, which I had been doing several dozen times daily for several months in a row. I took a deep breath, focused on the energy streams of consciousness, and tried to let go of the flow of thoughts, to let them go as easily as they came, to sink into silent silence.
And then something unexpected happened. The moment I let go of the last thought, the world around me suddenly changed. It was as if I had suddenly woken up, although I had no idea that I had slept all my life before. The sounds of the radio are clearer, the colors around you are brighter, and the sense of time is more extended. I felt my consciousness expand, as if I saw the world in all its multifaceted fullness for the first time.
In an instant, everything around me seemed to freeze, although it should be noted that in fact it was a sharpening of my perception to an unimaginable degree. The world around him slowed down, or rather, perception accelerated so much that every second stretched to infinity. The dial of the clock in the car, which I saw in front of me, seemed to be the only proof that time was still running its course. Although the whole event lasted only a couple of tens of minutes, there was a feeling that the time stretched for several hours.
My senses became so acute that I began to perceive the world in all its fullness and diversity. Every detail of the environment, every sound, whether it was the whisper of the wind or the distant hum of the city, became simultaneously felt. It was not just an increase in sight or hearing, it was something phenomenal – a colossal sharpening of the senses of perception and complete dissolution in the surrounding reality, which previously seemed only a dim reflection of its true wealth.
After the initial shock caused by the lack of understanding of what was happening, there was absolute calm. All emotions and experiences dissipated like fog with the sunrise, giving way to a deep inner world. My “I”, personality and all the accumulated knowledge and experience faded into the background, and I felt part of something bigger, part of nature itself, the world around me.
The pressure that had always been present in the back of my mind was gone. Instead, there was a feeling of a pure, unclouded mind acquired from the outside. Thoughts and internal dialogue were absent; The questions are gone, leaving behind only the unshakable certainty that all the answers to the universe are already known.
I realized that this state of mind has no name in modern language, and only remotely resembles the process of silent thinking. It was more than just a thought or an intellect, it was more like an awakening to a global consciousness, to an intuitive understanding of the world that does not fit into the usual categories. There was a feeling of being connected to the global network of knowledge, to the source of information with a thin invisible network that permeates the entire surrounding world, including each of us.
This experience was so deep and overwhelming that it is impossible to describe it in words. However, later, I was able to find something remotely similar in meaning in ancient texts and teachings, such as Shambhala, where it is said that each of us has the ability to awaken the gift within ourselves that allows us to catch the subtlest vibrations of the energy of the information sea that permeates all existence.
All our thoughts and actions are energy, and every particle of the world, from the smallest cell to the vast expanses of space, carries energy information. The only question is, what information are we able to perceive? This realization led me to understand that life, no matter how miraculous it may seem, could not have arisen by chance. Behind its origin there is an intelligent principle, a single mind of the universe, which directs the evolution of all living things. Life could not have originated on Earth by itself, without the help of intelligent control from the outside, and the planet could have formed from nothing and, by a happy coincidence, become ideally suitable for life.
The understanding has come that the Nature of the Universe has a single mind and man is an integral part of this nature.
Nature, in its tireless movement forward, invariably follows the path of development and self-improvement. Evolutionary selection, as an integral element of nature, inexorably weeds out those forms of life that are unable to adapt to the constantly changing conditions of existence. A person with a unique mind and consciousness has a unique ability not only to adapt, but also to consciously influence his own path of development. We can choose what traits and abilities to cultivate in ourselves, what knowledge and skills to acquire in order not only to survive meaninglessly, but also to thrive, contributing to the common good and harmony of the world.
Thus, each person stands at the helm of his fate, and his decisions and actions determine whether he will move forward in unison with nature, revealing his potential and reaching new heights, or will remain on the sidelines of the main path of evolution. It is a choice between active participation in life and passive existence, between development and stagnation, between a life full of meaning and purpose, and an existence devoid of depth and direction.
Each of us is the architect of our own lives, and our thoughts, choices, and actions determine the trajectory of our development – we are responsible for the direction in which we move.
Aspirations for development open up new prospects for understanding the meaning of life and our place in the universe. It reminds us that everyone, regardless of their beliefs, can find a connection with the deeper aspects of being and that our inner world is intimately connected to the outer world.
This connection between the inner and outer worlds, between the individual and the environment, is the key to spiritual awakening. It allows us to see that our every action, every thought, every feeling is not just random, but is part of a larger picture where everything is interconnected and interdependent.
Some call it Nature, others speak of God as an all-pervading force present in every atom and living being. Understanding these ideas becomes not just scientific or theological statements, but also a practical guide to life. They teach us to appreciate every moment, strive for harmony with the world around us, and constantly seek ways to grow personally and spiritually. This journey to enlightenment and self-discovery is a never-ending process, in which each step forward brings new discoveries and insights into how to live a life full of meaning and purpose.
In my dialogues with clergy of various denominations, I have always asked only one question: how do they imagine God? And each time I heard the same answer: God is the entire existing universe. This is the unity of all living things, this is the force that permeates every atom, every thought, every action. This proves the connection and unity of all living and inanimate things, and also suggests that spiritual awakening and enlightenment are available to everyone who seeks to see and understand this interconnection. It also implies that spiritual development is not only an internal process, but also a way of interacting with the world around us.
At the moment when I was lucky enough to experience a deep spiritual epiphany, my life took a new turn, illuminated by an unprecedented light. Not only was this epiphany a powerful turning point, it was as if it opened the door to another world for me, where every aspect of my perception, every value and belief that I had formed over the years had been completely reimagined. Everything I knew, everything I was striving for, suddenly seemed to me in a new light, and I realized that the world was much wider and deeper than I could have imagined. This unexpected information was so radically different from anything I had known before that I couldn’t help but think: it couldn’t be a mere coincidence. It seemed to me that I had been chosen to receive instruction directly from God.
I confess that it is nice to feel chosen, but while studying Sufism, I came across an instructive story by Mansur al-Hallaj, who, during the experienced state of Fan (enlightenment) and unity of spirit with God, exclaimed – I am the Truth (I am God). As a result, Hallaj was persecuted not only by orthodox theologians, who accused him of non-observance of rites and public miracles, but also by many Sufis, who accused the preacher of divulging divine secrets. As a result, he was imprisoned in Baghdad, where he spent 11 years, and was executed in 922.
Therefore, just in case, in order not to accidentally divulge something superfluous, it is better to descend from heaven to earth and offer a more scientific hypothesis – our brain stores much more information than we are able to realize it.
In moments of a special cognitive state, when there is a redistribution of metabolic resources in the brain, we can access these hidden stores of knowledge. This opens the door to intuitive and creative thinking, when we begin to perceive the world not through the prism of accumulated knowledge and personal experience, but as a whole.
The stories of great scientists such as Dmitri Mendeleev, August Kekulé, and Otto Lévi show that sometimes the greatest discoveries come to us not through logical reasoning, but through sudden intuitive insights. This is a reminder that the mind is capable of much more than we used to think, and that the way to these untapped resources can be found in each of us.
Nikola Tesla described this state of mind as follows; “At that time I could not prove the correctness of my belief, but it came through what, for want of a better definition, I would call instinct. Instinct is something that transcends knowledge. There are, no doubt, some subtle fibers in our brains that allow us to comprehend truths that are inaccessible through logical reasoning and which cannot be arrived at by independent mental effort.”
Or, as A. Einstein put it; “The intellect is of little use on the way to discovery. There is a leap in consciousness, call it intuition if you will, but the decision comes to you, and you don’t know why or how.”
All this is another confirmation that in a normal state of awareness we are not able to use the greater potential of the brain and later we will analyze in more detail the unique capabilities of the mind, but for now I will continue the story, moreover, that my story did not end there and everything that happened served only as the source for a chain of subsequent events.
Just as sitting behind the wheel I could only objectively assess the sensations of changing time and space, when twenty minutes later, I began to return to my normal state, I realized that this was only the beginning, the beginning of the path to understanding the depths of consciousness and the boundless possibilities of the mind.
The regained awareness of the personal “I” was so shocked by its disappearance and loss of power that the inner voice that had accompanied me all my life suddenly reappeared, and doubts arose: “Maybe I ate something wrong and these are the consequences of poisoning? Maybe I’m crazy and it’s all hallucinations?”
But once you have seen the real possibilities of the silent mind, the voice of the inner dialogue will never have power again.
A little later I discovered that an event that initially seemed to me only a mental insight had a profound effect on my physical condition. As if opening up new horizons of consciousness, I also awakened the physical resources that had been dormant in me until that moment. My strength was rushing in, and I felt overwhelmed with energy that needed to be released into the outside world.
In the first days after this epiphany, I was like an elephant in a china shop, clumsily managing my newfound power. Every careless movement led to unintentional destruction: objects broke, fabrics were torn, as if the world around suddenly became fragile and delicate. But over time, I learned to control this surge of power, found ways to use it to good without harming others.
This was followed by a period of rapid physical development. My muscles grew at an incredible speed, as if they were trying to match a new state of mind. It wasn’t like the usual gains from going to the gym, it was something different – as if my body had found its own way to perfect balance and harmony.
With the increase in body weight to what seemed to me to be ideal proportions, I felt that I had reached a certain point of equilibrium. My body weight was stable at around 80 kg with a height of 180 cm, and this change was accompanied by the disappearance of old sports injuries and a decrease in sensitivity to pain. It seemed that my body had acquired a new, higher level of health and functioning.
These changes made me think about the close connection between mind and body, and how profound mental changes can lead to physical transformation. Perhaps this was the beginning of a new stage in my life, a stage in which I would be able not only to explore the depths of consciousness, but also to unravel the mystery of the relationship between psychology and human physiology.
The experience and subsequent changes in my life sound like a real awakening that not only improved cognitive abilities, but also brought a new meaning to existence.
Of all the amazing changes that have happened to me, the most significant has been the improvement in memory. Ever since I can remember, memory has always been my weak point. But after the moment when my inner world was transformed, I found that the ability to remember information increased dramatically. I was able to absorb complex scientific concepts and data with incredible ease, as if my brain had become a supercomputer capable of processing and storing vast amounts of information.
It was as if the shutters had suddenly opened and I had access to previously hidden resources of the mind. Although these unusual abilities began to fade slightly over time, the sense of clarity and depth of understanding of the world that remained behind them continued to change my life. The learning process became a source of inexhaustible pleasure, and I realized that the path of knowledge is endless, as is my thirst for knowledge.
Since then, education has become my top priority, and my interests have expanded to fields such as ecology, sociology, anthropology, neurophysiology, and psychology. I immersed myself in the study of everything related to the work of the brain and its potential, striving to understand how we can use its abilities to improve our world.
With the new knowledge came the desire to share it, to help others. From my personal experience, a clear concept of how the brain works was born, which became the basis for my efforts to make positive changes in the lives of the people around me. My life has acquired new colors, has become more purposeful and meaningful. I felt the strength and desire to change the world for the better.
It is noteworthy that all my target projects are so global and designed for tens, hundreds and thousands of years to come, that it would be interesting to still live to see their implementation and see the fruit, the grain of which I managed to plant now.
The constant pursuit of knowledge and discovery in the field of neurophysiology is reminiscent of the path of a wanderer, constantly striving for new horizons of knowledge, and this is a journey full of surprises and discoveries that I have yet to come to.
I have not yet found an explanation for everything that happened to me. But it is the unsolved mysteries that make this path so fascinating. Every day I am like a detective who investigates in the vast world of neurophysiology, exploring the complex labyrinths of the human brain. It is a pursuit of knowledge, where each new twist can lead to astounding discoveries.
Every time I manage to find a new piece of the puzzle, when I build a new concept or discover an unknown connection, I feel delighted. This feeling of joy that comes with each new discovery is incredibly inspiring. It fills me with energy and confidence that every step forward brings me closer to understanding how our amazing brains work.
This path is not always easy, and sometimes it requires a revision of established views and even the abandonment of some of them in favor of new ideas. But it’s the opportunity to constantly learn, discover new things, and share those discoveries with the world that makes my life rich and meaningful.
Exploring the depths of human consciousness and physiology often brings us to the limits of our understanding. In these fields of knowledge, where information is so vast and complex, we have to settle for hypotheses that are constantly evolving as new data accumulates. This approach allows us to gradually expand the boundaries of our understanding and get closer to the truth.
However, sometimes science encounters phenomena that seem to go beyond the ordinary. After I had experienced the momentous event, I began to notice that in the darkness electric discharges of a white-blue hue emanated from my body. It was something that I could not explain from the point of view of modern science.
At home, my loved ones were the first to witness this strange phenomenon. Each involuntary touch could lead to a strong electric shock, which, although it did not cause physical harm, caused significant discomfort. At work, colleagues, knowing about this feature, preferred to keep a safe distance.
The most powerful electric discharge of all that occurred on the bus, when the conductor, trying to check the ticket, accidentally touched her hand and flew away from me for several meters. This incident shocked both her and all the passengers who were at that time. I felt, to put it mildly, uncomfortable, guilty, although I could not control what was happening.
Interestingly, for some reason, electric discharges affected only women. This observation led me to think that there is a certain energy polarity between men and women. Perhaps this has something to do with differences in bioelectric fields or energy balance between the sexes.
These events became for me a new stage in immersion in the world of unknown phenomena of the human body and its interaction with the environment. I realized that my research was just beginning, and that there were still many unusual discoveries and mysteries ahead of me to solve.
Attempts to understand the reason for the activation of such an unusually high energy potential led me to study the depths of microbiology and neurophysiology. Although the definitive answer has yet to be found, one possible explanation may be related to the energy potential of the brain’s neurons.
Based on the assumption that there are about 100 billion neurons in the human brain, and each of them is capable of generating about 0.03 volts in an active state, the total energy potential of the brain can reach an astounding 3 billion volts. This is comparable to the energy of discharge of several very strong lightning bolts at the same time, in a natural phenomenon the power of which varies from several tens of millions to a billion volts.
This comparison suggests that the electrical discharges I observed that emanated from the body could be the result of hyperactivity in the brain, which may have been functioning in a mode that was far from normal. This assumption is supported by the fact that during periods of peak brain activity, I needed significantly more metabolic energy than usual, which resulted in a constant increased need for food.
At that turning point, when I was confronted with an inexplicable and powerful energy, I found myself unable to control it. Moreover, my lack of understanding of what was happening led to the fact that this energy was more likely to bring confusion into my everyday life than to help in it. However, I began to think that if I could learn to direct these energy flows, control them consciously, and redistribute them as I saw fit, then what incredible possibilities could open up before me.
The idea that it is possible to consciously interact with such energy gives a sense of limitless potential and power. This could lead to fantastic changes in life, allowing us to reach new heights in understanding the world around us, in the development of the potential of all mankind.
