An End to Upside Down Thinking:

Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, 

and the Implications for Everyday Life

By Mark Gober

A Revelatory Look at the Evidence that Upends the Scientific & Public Belief That the Material World is the Foremost Reality—and How That Reversal Explains Our Seeming “Wizard-Like” Abilities

Dear BBS​,

Whether you realize it or not, most of modern society’s thinking is based upon a philosophy known as “materialism”—the notion that physical material, known as “matter,” is fundamental in the universe. In other words, it’s the basis of all reality. Everything is comprised of matter, and everything can be reduced to matter.​

But a fascinating read through Mark Gober’s An End to Upside Down Thinking:Dispelling the Myth That the Brain Produces Consciousness, and the Implications for Everyday Life and you will know otherwise.​

This compelling book marshals the clear evidence and makes the case that consciousness is the force that precedes matter—and upends all of the scientific and popular thinking that the brain (matter) creates consciousness. Science dismisses any evidence to its contrary position—a position it can’t prove--relegating the “matter-produces-consciousness” argument to nothing more than unfounded belief and faith—just another a form of ”religion,” Gober holds.

But once he begins to cite the evidence that consciousness is the basis of all reality and can create or transform matter, that’s where things get REALLY interesting in An End to Upside Down Thinking. Gober re-examines the seeming “wizard-like” gifts of telepathy, remote viewing, precognition, psychokinesis, near-death experiences and remembrance of past lives through this new filter, bringing forth the scientific studies that support this viewpoint...and even if you’ve read some studies in the past, there are new ones here that will astonish you, along with remarkable, overwhelming statistics that will leave you with little doubt.

Gober uses the analogy that reality is like a stream of water where water represents consciousness, and each of us is a whirlpool (a localization of consciousness). The whirlpools are made of water (consciousness) and are simply part of the broader stream that is normally filtered out of our perception. It's there--we just don't normally perceive it unless we have a mystical or transcendental experience (e.g., psychedelics, near-death experiences, meditation techniques, etc.). Separation is therefore an illusion; the water is always part of the broader stream even if there is the appearance of individual whirlpools. The water also never disappears, it just changes form when the whirlpool dissipates (i.e., consciousness survives physical death). And water from one whirlpool can get into another whirlpool if a whirlpool opens up/delocalizes (i.e., psychic abilities such as telepathy).​

But after masterfully building the case for this perception, Gober goes further, painting a picture of how life could be different if we did indeed accept that all flows from consciousness and we are all part of the one consciousness (the stream). How could we apply this for an expansive, more gratifying, peaceful and incredibly exciting, unlimited, multidimensional future! ​

Gober has built a nearly unassailable case.Most of all he calls for more research to get to the truth of our consciousness-driven existence unbiased by traditional scientific skepticism.

Gober, a partner in a Silicon Valley investment bank and strategy firm, has been drawn to life’s big questions starting from his years as a Princeton undergrad. Physics—particularly astrophysics fascinated him, but he was too far into his economic major and other obligations to make the switch. As a compromise, instead of studying the invisible forces that govern the universe, he elected to study the invisible forces that govern human judgment and decision making—psychology/behavioral economics. But these big existence questions continued to plague him until he began the research which converted him from a “materialist” and ultimately propelled him to write the book –for every other hard core “materialist” still out there.  ​

Here’s a very short 1-minute interview with Mark: https://youtu.be/Ikaj7ofA3dk  ​

Biography

Mark Gober is an author whose worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he was exposed to world-changing science. After researching extensively, he wrote An End to Upside Down Thinkingto introduce the general public to these cutting-edge ideas – all in an effort to encourage a much-needed global shift in scientific and existential thinking.

Mark, a partner in a Silicon Valley investment bank and strategy firm, has long sought answers to life’s challenging questions. As an undergraduate at Princeton University, he was drawn to astrophysics because he wanted to understand the universe. But because due to commitments as a member of Princeton’s Division I Tennis Team, he decided that astrophysics would be too demanding. So instead of studying the invisible forces that govern the universe, he studied the invisible forces that secretly drive human behavior, getting a degree in psychology, focusing on behavioral economics. 

In  the summer of 2016, he randomly stumbled across a series of podcasts that exposed him to some radical new ideas. Those ideas put into question the most basic assumptions about who and what we are as human beings. An End to Upside Down Thinking will change how you look at everything!

Personal Power Mastery

By Douglas Vermeeren

The Ultimate Manual for Honing Your Personal, Business & Financial Success Proficiencies While Eradicating Your Limitations

"A No-Nonsense, Experiential Growth Masterpiece That Encourages You to Make Shifts in Your Beliefs."

--Bob Proctor

Dear BBS: 

Have you ever fantasized about being in Napoleon Hill's shoes as he was gathering the wisdom of the world's leading industrialists for Think and Grow Rich -- but doing it today and getting guidance that is not only ageless, but spot-on for today's world?

Douglas Vermeeren has done just that! This internationally renowned speaker, leader, mentor and filmmaker has interviewed 400 of the world's business and motivational leaders to glean the wisdom that creates Personal Power Mastery, the skill of leading a life of achievement and success on every level.

Furthermore, like Hill he has distilled that wisdom into a book. Vermeeren's Personal Power Mastery has been lauded by no less an icon than Bob Proctor as "A Masterpiece." The book is being hailed by many of the preeminent leaders of the personal growth movement as a blueprint for overcoming limitations, bad habits and beliefs so you can ascend to higher levels of mastery, accomplishment and financial attainment. The book is the companion to Vermeeren's Personal Power Mastery seminars, consistently rated among the top events for personal change and development worldwide.

Over the last two decades Vermeeren has conducted extensive first-hand research into the lives of the world's top achievers. He has captured the success strategies of top business leaders from Nike, Reebok, Fruit of the Loom, FedEx, KFC, United Airlines, Microsoft, Disney, the individual transformation methodologies from an array of superstars who came to prominence in The Secret,and more.

Vermeeren is the producer and director of three of the 10 leading personal development movies ever made: The Opus (featuring Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Joe Vitale, John Demartini, Marci Shimoff, Morris Goodman, Bob Doyle and others); The Gratitude Experiment (Bob Proctor, Marie Diamond, John Demartini, John Gray); and The Treasure Map (John Demartini, Loral Langemeier, Raymond Aaron, Marshall Sylver, Randy Gage).

Widely sought out as a regular featured expert on FOX, CNN, ABC, NBC, CTV, CBC, The Huffington Post, NY Daily News and others, the native Canadian has authored three books in the Guerrilla Marketing series.

And here's the catch...Vermeeren says he could not have achieved all of this without the insights he learned and put into practice from his 400 interviews.

Personal Power Mastery puts all of that at your fingertips!

Curating essential recurring themes, attitudes, approaches, practices and strategies from his interview subjects, Vermeeren provides a clear roadmap-exactly how to cleave the unserving aspects of oneself and burnish those that will shine. From its "Teachable Moments" to its "Power Thoughts," "Lessons" and "Exercises," this book enables the reader to instantly put into practice the strategies that create change and attract wealth.

With humor and charm, Vermeeren lays out that case that anyone can achieve Personal Power Mastery. He says, "If you are breathing, you are a perfect candidate for improvement."

And he goes on to say that what he teaches is a systematic progression toward creating more and more success. As he notes, personal responsibility proceeds the power of action. The power of action proceeds progress toward mastery. And when you incorporate these, you then have the power to create new consequences.

In an interview, Vermeeren can address:

The five pillars that motivate individuals How values influence priorities Why "capturing" the present requires sacrifice The ways hesitation and ambivalence can be seen in one's life The ultimate power of choice What he's learned from continuing his pursuit of mastery in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Michael Priv

This is an excerpt from my upcoming book YOU ARE PSYCHIC, THE HEALER'S HANDBOOK which I would like to be interviewed about: 

With YOU ARE PSYCHIC, my applied guide to remote viewing and energy healing, I am trying something that has never been done before. I am sharing esoteric knowledge and techniques intended to enable anyone to open up their psychic abilities and heal themselves and others. This is the culmination of over thirty years of research, which put me face to face and at times deep into a total of 28 different religions, got me stuck for 18 years in a cult at a secret desert location, introduced me up close and personal to a Puerto-Rican gang in New York and to Russian mafia hoods in Moscow, pitted me against the FSB in Moscow in 1993 in a battle of wits, made me a healer and an empath, got me gravely sick at times and then more or less well again, as I was developing a defense against the blackness I was coming in contact with, brought me repeatedly to the very top into the realm of complete clarity and immersion in peace, brought me crashing down again occasionally, introduced me to God and happiness and opened up to me a whole new magical realm of spirits.

How do you put out a user-friendly textbook on training psychics? That is the question. Arguments on theology are of no interest to me. My moto is DO THE DRILLS in this book. If you feel questions bubbling up or discontent whaling inside as you read the theory, do me a favor, clamp it all down and just DO THE DILLS.

Reed Summers

I am inspired by some important information I found about the alien activity in the world. Many perceive the alien activity in the world as angelic or demonic, but there isn’t a lot out there that perceive the activities of alien as an evolutionary track of humanity, in the sense that we’re the race that is being discovered.

Humanity is discovered by alien races, there are many people who witnessed ufo’s or abductees, but what does this activity means for us as the native race on this planet?

If found a very objective perspective by author Marshall Vian Summers, explaining the reasons of UFO activities in the world:

What is happening?

Why is it happening?

What does it mean?

What can we (humanity) do about it?

This book 'Allies of Humanity book One' is free to read online and a free ebook is downloadable for your audience. Attached is a copy.

Reed Summers the son of Marshall Vian Summers, would you consider Reed as one of your Guest?

Over twenty years ago, a group of individuals from several different worlds gathered at a discreet location in our solar system near earth for the purpose of observing the alien intervention that is occurring in our world.

From this group’s hidden vantage point, they were able to determine the identity, organization and intentions of those visiting our world and monitor the visitors’ activities.

This group of observers call themselves the “Allies of Humanity”.

For over 12 years, Reed Summers has been working on behalf of the Allies of Humanity and the Allies of Humanity Briefings, the revolutionary set of texts which reveal the secret agenda of those ET forces present in our world. These briefings provide a clear picture of who is here, why they're here and what they are doing on Earth.

Reed’s mission is to introduce to the world the Allies of Humanity perspective on the reality of Contact. Reed is promoting this essential education and preparation in order for humanity to successfully cross this evolutionary threshold and maintain our freedom and sovereignty as we prepare to emerge into a Greater Community of intelligent life in the universe.

As an advocate for mental health I share about my campaign; "Brighten Your Day with Turquoise". Turquoise is a calming color, uplifts us and helps us think clearly. I speak about my journey with physical and mental illness and how I inspire others with my podcast, “The Celestial Spoon”. If a guest requests it, I do a mini psychic card reading on the interview. They love this and it adds to our conversation because it brings out some thoughts they haven’t had before to apply into their business and personal lives.

My disposal system was working overtime most of my life. I even quit high school because of the embarrassment. Then in 2012 most of my colon was removed due to hundreds of precancerous polyps. This put my life on hold because I was “living in the bathroom” and I felt like a waste. Because of this horrible life I attempted suicide in 2014 during a crisis moment fighting with my husband. I knew this was God’s plan for me to have a mission and guide others to not allow themselves to get to a point of no return.

This journey took me from being a psychic and doing card readings to speaking to groups about making themselves come first. I wrote many stories in several books and continue to write to inspire others about self-care. This is so important now because of all the upset in the world. Many people are so stressed and feel they can’t go forward and are committing suicide. I speak about mental illness to rid the stigma and say “It’s OK”. You can talk about it and seek the support you need to feel better. With the correct guidance we can all overcome the difficult times with patience and understanding what we are feeling. These feelings are real and unique to each one of us and we are allowed to share them. Sharing these feelings is what will put us on the right path.

I talk about the color Turquoise and its power to help us feel better.

The meaning of the color turquoise is open communication and clarity of thought.

Turquoise helps to open the lines of communication between the heart and the spoken word.

This is a color that recharges our spirits during times of mental stress and tiredness, alleviating feelings of loneliness.

You only have to focus on the color turquoise, whether on a wall or clothing and you feel instant calm and gentle invigoration, ready to face the world again!

This is a good color to aid concentration and clarity of thought for public speakers as it calms the nervous system, gives control over speech and expression, and builds confidence.

Print your speech notes on turquoise and every time you glance down you will feel the effects of the color.

Wear a turquoise stone as a bracelet, ring, etc.

There are many more explanations how turquoise helps us. I share them during my talks.

Please consider interviewing me for your show or event so I can inspire others to reach out and get the support they need.

US

I am Your Turquoise Angel Guide, the Host of The Celestial Spoon Radio Show, a 13 time Award-Winning Inspirational Author, a Speaker for Mental Health, and a Psychic & Spiritual Guide.

I help people feel better with my positive outlook and describing overcoming my own deep depression. As a Mental Health Speaker my campaign is "Brighten Your Day with Turquoise." Turquoise, because it is a calming color and helps us think clearly. I share my journey with mental illness on my self-produced podcast, “The Celestial Spoon”. My goal is to help others achieve their potential without the obstacles that get in the way. I’ve had many health challenges and want to guide others to understand how to live with illness and still have a normal life. I guide others through my spiritual skills to feel invigorated and empowered to go forward in their own struggles. I share this through speaking on stages and to intimate audiences.

When I share about a suicide attempt it is to inspire others to reach out for support before they get to the point of no return. This was actually an answer to a prayer to God and my Angels to help me feel better. Their answer came just 3 days after. This answer was to crawl under the barrel where the only way to go was up. I knew right away God had a mission for me. I had to experience lots of turmoil in my life so I could relate to others. By doing so I gain the attention of those who would not necessarily reach out for guidance.

I am proud of my accomplishments since that day in August 2014. I am an award-winning best-selling author, host and producer of my own podcast, an inspirational speaker, I created my own website, have a great presence on Facebook and continue to learn new things to be helpful to others.

In my book, “Journey of Angelic Healing, Stories to Feed Your Soul”, I share about my Advocacy for Mental Illness and how I help others through Self Help, Inspiration & Spirituality. As you read "Worthy of Respect" you will learn about my 3 adult children and how I failed them at times due to my mental illness. I am transparent and open in my writing and you will be inspired and encouraged. I hope my writing and sharing my story will help others.

I interview people on my podcast about their spirituality, inspirations and business ventures. We share our expertise and modalities to guide my listeners to feeling better. Listen to inspirational conversations relating to sometimes difficult emotional journeys towards Self-awareness and Spirituality. These journeys brought positive effects toward our guests Mental and Physical Health and will inspire you to take action and create a healthier and happier personal environment for yourself and those you interact with. Some of Catherine’s guests have been healers, teachers, scientists turned healers, a space shuttle engineer, near death survivors, authors, speakers, dreamers, angel communicators, psychics, and many more. You will get the feeling of knowing these people during these relaxing conversations.

I also psychically deliver information to people from the spiritual realm, their guides and angels that benefits them greatly with their lives. I do readings at local events, as well as performing sessions with clients world-wide, via phone and Skype, email and in person.

Journey of Angelic Healing, Stories to Feed Your Soul
Van Dao Duy

"Yes to can autism, ADHD, depression, failure and success be predicted, prevented, and ..."

As you see, they lack social skills, they cannot talk: language is the product of living environment - as your native language and my native language, we speak it naturally without thinking at all. We are not born with our native language, so I doubt their connection with their living environment and/or the state of mind that they donot want to learn

They are in the low level of this. For official test: you can test them with EQ test, and Aesop stories, metaphors, interacting, communicating or persuading. All these low-level vital skills make them never feel safe, connection to the environment: it makes them stress. Over time, it makes the downward spiral that make them more and more lack of social skills and suffer more stress. 

ALL IN ONE, ONE IN ALL:

Dear Neurologist, psychiatrist, sociologist, gastroenterologist, urologist, educators, sleep therapists, cardiologist, language therapists, educators, trainers, teachers: there is no separation in the health of heart, stomach, muscle, cognitive thinking, sleeping, hormone system: all are interdependent and under the state of mind. IT IS THE ADVANTAGES OF EASTERN PHILOSOPHY AND THE BASIC OF EASTERN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE.

PARETO IN HEALTH/MEDICINE

Remember when working with the MIND: irrational mind, the giant brain evolved for millions of years, illogical mind and Placebo effects, Neuro-plasticity, Mirror neurons, self affirmation, self-talk, nocebo effects, T1/2 of all substances, taboos, rituals, religious belief, compound effects, CONDITIONED RESPONSES, and MAGICAL ADAPTABILITY, ILLUSIVE MIND, Self healing/destroying, IRRATIONAL THINKING, Subliminal message, Marketing of luxury brand, and Hysteria: what do we feed the mind of beings everyday?

And what if all of these lead to negativity or positivity? Maybe Outliers or Failures!

5 mins of rapping can affect whole life.

5 mins of abusing can make victims fear whole life

1 mins of bombing, earthquake, fear, hysterical stress the killing can affect their whole life.

It creates the conditioned of Fight and Flight that they cannot consciously control.

They rarely joy

It is said by genes

So they accept it as gifts

Or nobles term, not diseases

Even they take more expensive medication than others.

How I know they are under stress: read their behaviors, read the body language. In stress state, stress chemicals: adrenalin, noradrenalin, and cortisol will dominate the body. The effect is listed in any medical book, look closer we can see all these effects are available in kids, to some extents, the effects caused by stress chemicals are the best answer for the autistic rainbow.

Sorry, they are not happy with the label GIFTED.

Real needs of beings and real lack of modern people: we can make the qualitative or quantitative studies:

1. Unconditional love: love with greed, anger, ignorance is not real love. Right love should be with UNDERSTANDING: the self, other, and situation.

2. Connection: people, animal, diversified nature, understanding with parents: technology cut all chance of connection and make poor of any connection people have.

3. Chances or suitable problems to build muscle, the ability to help them deal with the fact of life.

4. Unstressed environment: happy, warm, cheering; then make them have the feeling of safety, certainty to work, try, play, do and fail

The light at the end of the tunnel: Nick Vujicic, Hellen Keller, Franklin D. Rosevelt, Steven Hawking, Paralympic athletes are disabled.

As pharmacists, we do not dispense prescribed medication to healthy ones.

ASKING THE SAGE: "HOW THERE ARE SO VARIOUS PEOPLE?" HE SAID: "ONLY BABIES ARE BORN!" and he smiles: " We are living on heavenly earth." " It is Nature, not God"

Van Duy Dao, born 1986, had completed Pharmacist Bachelor degree in Hanoi University of Pharmacy. I am a pharmacist, personal development lover and meditation practitioner.

Proud to be a pharmacist, but he is ashamed of the failure of knowledge and the medication in healing many unknown Causes. Most of the medications only make temporal relief and many medications chronic patients have to take in their lifetime. Worst of all: mental illness, depression, ADHD, Autism, suicide, and gunfire, social problems seem to go against all the advancement in economic, standard living and Giant leap in technology. I keep on searching. Advantage of the general knowledge in medicine, physiology, psychology, pharmacology, management, marketing, selling, persuading, motivating; and the mixing of Eastern Philosophies: Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism which full of paradoxical subtle profound knowledge in the art of living, virtues, purposeless, pace of nature to gain success, health, happiness, and inner-peace in daily life.
