Level Set - Part 1 | Ep. 15

Here are the first set of statements presented for your perspective (agree, disagree, unsure).

1. Our brain is over 100,000 years old the reptilian part of the brain is over one million years old

2. The unconscious baseline of this million-year-old brain is for survival long enough to procreate in a hunter-gatherer environment

3. The brain and unconscious process at a speed – 11 million bits per second … versus the conscious mind which processes at 50 bits per second

4. Reticular Activation System – filters out the information that is not relevant

5. We have 100 billion neurons - each communicating with 1,000 to 10,000 other neurons

6. Myelin forms a sheath around neurons that are more active and this improves the speed and accuracy of the neuron’s firing

7. Neuroplasticity relies in part on synaptogenesis (eliminating neurotransmitter connections of unused circuits in favor of active circuits) to change the brain

8. The reaction time of the conscious mind is from 2-tenths of a second to 7-tenths (the unconscious is near-instantaneous

9. Genes change and adapt to the environment

10. Gene expression can transcend genetics

11. Nutrients that pass from the digestive tract are impacted by ones internal environment and health

12. Emotions are thought of as energy in motion and they are not meant to be stored or dwelled upon
