"Einstein may have unwittingly exposed himself to one of the strongest intelligence builders of all, during the very years of his childhood when it could do the most good. A large portion of Einstein's prodigious intellect as an adult may have resulted from this timely childhood training. MOZART RAISES IQ Scientists at the Center for Neurobiology of Learning and Memory at the University of California at Irvine subjected thirty-six college students to a battery of spatial IQ tests?that portion of the standard IQ test that measures right-brain ability." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.)

"If a job needs sharp, quick thinking and retrieval of new names, words, and facts—what we call "fluid intelligence"70—then youth prevails. But if a task requires wealth of knowledge, experience, commitment, and broad vision—so-called crystallized intelligence71—then elders are well positioned to contribute. ient who had been a partner at an international law firm. We did preliminary testing on him and it was determined that he had a slight frontal lobe vascular lesion, and some executive functioning difficulties." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"He's had those tests, and they say it's not for lack of intelligence," David said. "In fact, he's brighter than avetage, but he just can't seem to ( 1 )» catch on. "Hyperactive children frequently test as highet in intelligence than others," I noted. "Let's see if we can help him use that intelligence." Susannah reached into her bag and pulled out a book. "I've been reading Dr. Doris Rapp's books lately, too, and I'm convinced Jeremy has allergies. He has those dark circles under his eyes, and the hotizontal creases in his lower eyelids." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Natural Medicine, Optimal Wellness: The Patient's Guide to Health and Healing (Get the book.)

"A physics class at Southwest State University in Marshall, Minnesota, was divided into two groups, one practicing Image Streaming throughout the course and the other practicing the Whimbey Method, a standard program for building analytical skills. intelligence was measured at the beginning and end of the course. The Image Streamers showed much sharper gains in IQ. 5 10 15 20 25 30 Hours of Practice be published only after Reinert completes a long-term study now in progress.) Digging Channels in the Brain Why would Image Streaming raise IQ? The answer lies in our brain cells." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.) "It can hardly be an accident that researchers in the field of high intelligence have long regarded the habit of compulsive scribbling as one of the telltale hallmarks of genius. COMPULSIVE SCRIBBLERS In the 1920s, researcher Catherine Cox studied 300 geniuses from history, such as Sir Isaac Newton, Thomas Jefferson, and Johann Sebastian Bach. Her exhaustive survey of available biographies revealed a pattern of strikingly similar habits and personality traits among these top achievers." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.) "It has long been known, for example, that children who are taught to play and sight-read music at an early age tend to be several standard deviations above average in intelligence. We have already mentioned in previous chapters, as in the example of the Mankato nuns, the growing evidence that even the brains of the elderly can be sharply improved with proper conditioning. You are, in fact, never too old to increase your intellect. Still, there is little doubt that very young children are more susceptible than others to brain-enhancement techniques." - Win Wenger, Ph.D. and Richard Poe, The Einstein Factor: A Proven New Method for Increasing Your Intelligence (Get the book.)

"Neuropsychological testing is a way to assess objectively an individual's higher-order brain functions: intelligence, memory, and ability to concentrate. It can relieve the patient of fears that he or she has a progressive brain disease like Alzheimer's. Importantly, patients with brain fog rarely have problems with intelligence and with the ability to memorize; in contrast, these are the major issues in Alzheimer's. So neuropsychological testing is a useful tool to assess the complaint of brain fog." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Everything in America's intelligence arsenal was being thrown at this spot, to find out what on earth was going on inside. Pat's drawing turned out to be extremely close to satellite photos, even down to a cluster of compressed-gas cylinders. Pat didn't stop at the outside of the building. His descriptions included what was going on inside. He saw images of workers attempting, with great difficulty, to assemble a massive 6o-foot metal globe by welding together metal gores, shaped like wedges of fruit." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Eventually, beings with an intelligence similar to or surpassing our own might appear. Such beings might develop symbolic language through which to share their discoveries, and if they had hands, or some other way of manipulating their environment, they could develop technology. If they remained stuck in a self-centered mode of consciousness, life on Earth would again come under increasing pressure. The planet would be in another crisis of consciousness." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "Is this a species that can make the leap into conscious evolution and a higher order of intelligence? These are the questions facing us today: Are we ready to make that leap? Can we use our gifts of understanding, creativity, and choice in our true self-interest? Can we use our growing freedom from physical constraints to liberate our minds from outdated attitudes and beliefs? Can we develop a new, more enlightened mode of consciousness? And if we do, what lies ahead? It turns out that it may not be quite what we expect." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"It is this light that carries intelligence and is the foundation for the ability of plants and people to communicate with each other "at the speed of light," as Fritz Popp suggests. While visiting my friend Jeannine in California, we began discussing flower essences, the imprint of a flower's vibration infused in water by sunlight shining through it. She told me of her recent experiences with orchids." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Meditation Meditation allows the conscious mind to experience increasingly subtle states of thought until the source of the thought, the unlimited store of energy and creative intelligence, is reached. The mind settles effortlessly, thought dissolves altogether and a delicate state of silence is experienced. The benefits of meditation come from expanding the mind's conscious capacity in order to remove deeply placed stresses from the body. Meditation dissolves everyday stresses and maintains a healthy, vibrant immune system." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"By comparison to the mind, the heart is a function of intelligence based on the ultimate in simplicity and synchronicity. Its matrix is a synergistic center of awareness which perceives a unified relationship with all that is." It is not my intention to badmouth the brain; I am suggesting there has been an overemphasis on its singular abilities, and how we use our brains is what we must reinvent. When the brain and the heart work coherently, creativity flourishes, communication flows, and healing takes place." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"On entering grammar school, this girl seemingly scored low on an intelligence test and got assigned to a "slow learners" class. Due to the tracking system, the girl remained among the slow learners all through her eight years in that school. Then, entering high school, the girl took another intelligence test and scored in the fop one per cent. She then got placed in an "accelerated" class and began showing the high intelligence which had remained dormant all through grammar school. Did the new label create the newly apparent intelligence?" - Robert Anton Wilson, Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You and Your World (Get the book.)

"A man of incandescent intelligence, Francalacci was one of those rare academics able to explain complex concepts in simple, compelling terms, often delivered with an auctioneer's exuberance and wild gesticulations. He had first become interested in human evolution as a biology student at the University of Pisa, he said. That interest led him to join the laboratory of renowned geneticist Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza at Stanford, where he studied human populations by looking at their genes. His specialty was analyzing mitochondrial DNA to identify the origins of peoples—dead or alive." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Leslie Sieberth, a biologist at the University of Utah, says, "If intelligence is the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge, then, absolutely, plants are intelligent." What is becoming clear is that plants have an enormous capacity for computing and for making decisions about complex aspects of their environment like light, water, gravity, vibrations, chemicals, temperature, sound, and predators. They have intricate signaling systems to alert their neighbors when danger is near." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Gianni, who was 48, with a neatly trimmed moustache, glasses, brown hair, and an air of shy intelligence, nodded in agreement. "Thank you," I replied, meaning it. Though Michel's thoroughness was inconvenient, I knew that his findings would pass muster with other researchers. "The rest of us will be charged with finding people who fit the longevity profile and interviewing them to get their stories." "Where do we start?" Sabriya asked. "Here's what we know," I replied, not sure where I was going with my answer." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"There is a spirit intelligence associated with plants and that spirit communicates [with them]." Many years ago, while walking in the woods, I came across a most exquisitely beautiful white flower that had just emerged. In the early spring woodlands where only small shoots were beginning to peek out under the leaves this striking flower was a surprise. I was so stunned I immediately fell to my knees to observe this flower. The leaves, having an unusual shape like nothing I'd ever seen before, were curled around the flower almost as if to protect it." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"They even possess a form of intelligence: bananas and oranges connected to lie-detecting polygraphs have been shown to respond to mathematics questions in experiments by Dr. Ken Hashimoto and Cleve Backster. Asked how much two plus two is, the plants emit a hum that forms into four peaks when translated into ink tracings. In recent years, molecular geneticists have deepened their understanding of plant perception." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "The French intelligence officer Amedee-Frangois Frezier was spying on the Spaniards for the French government when he came across Chilean strawberries in 1714. Frezier—whose name, coincidentally derives from the French word for strawberry—realized that the berries were more valuable than any state secret, and took every precaution to bring them home. The voyage took six months, and he almost died sharing his dwindling rations of fresh water with the plants, only five of which survived." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "Jeremy Narby in intelligence in Nature, explains how plant cells communicate information using RNA transcripts and protein links. In this way, "plants learn, remember, and decide, without brains." The Japanese have a word for the "knowingness" of the natural world: chi-sei. It's clear that both sides have evolved the ability to influence the other. And what fruits want from us is the same thing we want from them: survival. With an apple, I will astonish Paris. —Paul Cezanne Kicking the February slush from their boots, friends are pouring into my apartment for a cocktail party." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"In his 1929 monograph Brain Mechanisms and intelligence, a small work that had first gained him notoriety with its radical notions, Lashley had already elucidated his view that cortical function appeared to be equally potent everywhere.< As he would later point out, the necessary conclusion from all his experimental work 'is that learning just is not possible at all'.5 When it came to cognition, for all intents and purposes, the brain was a mush." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "The natural intelligence that had gone on for billions of years, that had forged the very molecules of his being, was also responsible for his own present journey. This wasn't something he was simply comprehending in his mind, but an overwhelmingly visceral feeling, as though he were physically extending out of the window to the very furthest reaches of the cosmos. He hadn't seen the face of God. It didn't feel like a standard religious experience so much as a blinding epiphany of meaning - what the Eastern religions often term an 'ecstasy of unity'." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "By Swann's 100th coordinate, Hal was impressed enough to get on the phone to Christopher Green, an analyst in the CIA's Office of Scientific intelligence, urging him to allow them to try a real test for the agency. Although Green was highly dubious, he agreed to give them a set of map coordinates of a place not even he knew anything about. A few hours later, at Green's request, a colleague named Hank Turner6 produced a set of numbers on a sheet of paper. These represented extremely precise coordinates, down to the minutes and seconds of latitude and longitude, of a place that only Turner knew." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"A learning disability is defined as lack of academic achievement despite average to above-average intelligence. These children struggle with acquiring, retaining, and processing information needed to succeed in reading, writing, and math, and often have associated problems with self-esteem, depression, aggression, and more. Behavioral disorders in children are often caused by chemicals. Dr. Harold Buttram explains: "Parents often use the term Jekyll-and-Hyde to describe their children. When they're doing well they may be sweet and lovable little children." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"There was also some intelligence sharing about which sports teams the sons should try to play for in summer. After the Giangs left, I was invited to accompany Justin and Austin to a rehearsal, or jam session, with other youth members of the church the Mocks attend, as they prepared for a performance at the service the next morning. Austin's drum set was loaded into the van. Jesse drove over with me, talking mostly about college basketball and how the boys have adjusted to the move. The ten or so members of the youth band aren't about to top the charts anytime soon." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"School-work that matches his intelligence. A trusted solution for ADHD." An underlying message in the ads was that the medicine would bring about a sort of personal transformation. Those who swallowed the pills would enjoy the good life. They would be more lovable. They would be envied by their neighbors. These tacit promises made by the drug ads were not unlike those made by the promoters of any other consumer product. "The purpose of publicity is to make the spectator marginally dissatisfied with his present way of life." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Cell biologist and former Princeton University professor Bruce Lipton, in his book The Biology of Belief, wrote about his own scientific and personal epiphany of how information (in the form of feedback between cells and their environments) constitutes intelligence in the body. He said, as he was trying to keep isolated cell cultures alive for study, "Twenty years after my mentor Irv Konigsberg's advice to first consider the environment when your cells are ailing, I finally got it. DNA does not control biology, and the nucleus of the cell itself is not the brain of the cell." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "Correcting distortions in the human body-field can help return the body to homeostasis, which refers to the body's ability to maintain equilibrium, a process that is dependent on the body's own self-healing intelligence. This book explains the NES model of the human body-field and the body-field's influence on health in a nontechnical manner that we trust will be accessible to most readers. We have included a glossary of terms that might be unfamiliar, both NES-related and scientific, at the end of the book. Feel free to refer to the glossary as needed while you are reading." - Peter h.
