Emotional Literacy
• Emotions – We can manipulate them– Physiology– Thoughts
• Relationships between emotions– Anger usually covering up
• Sadness• Fear
![Page 10: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Emotional Literacy
• Emotions – We can manipulate them– Physiology– The Amy Cuddy Story
• Brain injured as teen, lost her high IQ• She used “Fake it till you make it”• Now a Harvard Business School Prof
– Empowers business women with the “Starfish Position” (More at Circle Talk?)
![Page 11: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Emotional Literacy
• Learn from People– I learn the most from
• People that bring up my my worst emotions• Situations that trigger me the hardest
• Learn from our surroundings– Cultures of Offices / Teams / Families– Books / Blogs / Etc
![Page 12: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Living At Cause
• Why Introduce Living At Cause?– It summarizes the recommendations of all the
branches of psychology I’ve studied– Understanding and accepting this concept
usually shift one’s paradigm – It is difficult to accept at first so hopefully this
may prepare one for future growth

Brain Science: Stuff
• 90% of what we know about the brain mechanics we learned in the last 7 – 9 years
• “I feel really sorry for the people who retired five years ago,” says Michael Stryker, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco.

Brain Science: Stuff
• Optogenetics!!– Fiber optic wires into mice heads to turn on and
off specific neurons pre-treated with markers!
![Page 20: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Brain Science: Stuff
• Functional MRI– Real time images of the brain– Can show rough images in the Visual Cortex
• How many objects• Placement of objects, close – far, right or left• Size• Color• Contrast
![Page 21: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Brain Science: Stuff
• Memories – A Neural Pathway
– Groups of neurons that are primed to fire together in the same pattern that created the original experience, and each component of a memory is stored in the brain area that initiated it.

![Page 22: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Brain Science: Stuff
• Memories – A Neural Pathway
– The more Often the information is repeated or used, the more likely it is to be retained in long term memory
– The more Recently the information is repeated or used, the more likely it is to be recalled from long term memory

![Page 23: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Brain Science: Stuff
• Memories – A Neural Pathway• THE OPPOSITE IS ALSO TRUE
– That is why traditional talk-about-the-past psycho-therapy is no longer so popular
– New therapy helps get rid of the A.N.T.s so that the old hurtful pathways are not fired.

Brain Science: Human Identity
• Our Identity or Core Beliefs:– Define our Model of the World – Control our emotional life– Control our behavioral life– Are based on the Core Memories
![Page 31: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Brain Science: Human Identity
• Core Memories– Change every time we access them– We can find new beneficial meanings for the
same core memory• Core Memories’ influence is a function of:
– Recency– Frequency
![Page 32: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Brain Science: Human Identity
• Jennifer Ouellette, author, science writer– Best Seller: Me Myself and Why– Online Video Talk– Her experiential pathway led her to the same
conclusion: • Our ID is a function of only two things:
– The memories we focus on– The meanings of those memories
• And I remind: We can choose both!
![Page 34: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Brain Science: Human Identity
Bottom Line Summary:
• Our Identity is a function of only two things
– The memories we Focus on– The meaning we Choose for those memories
![Page 35: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Brain Science: Human Identity
The One Sentence:• Ones identity lies in the cellular/neuropeptide
neural pathway you strengthen by Recent and Repeated thoughts.
• So choose thoughts that benefit you and visit them often.

Brain Science: Human Identity
Super Modern Breakthrough!
![Page 37: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Brain Science: My Emancipation
• Scientific American MIND publication– 10 Big Ideas in 10 years of Brain Science– #3 Adult Brain is Malleable
• So, I’m not stuck with my Old ID!– I Choose the memories I focus on– I Choose those memories’ meaning
![Page 38: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
A.N.T.s
![Page 39: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
A.N.T.s
• Automatic Negative Thoughts
– Literally shifts the neuro peptides in our brain– And neuro endocrine hormone in our blood
Towards negative emotions and health
![Page 40: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A.N.T.s
• Positive personal results have been reported after one week of A.N.Ts eradication
• An easy way to learn Living at Cause– Practice on yourself first– Introduce into your relations at your own pace
![Page 41: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
A.N.T.s

A.N.T.s
![Page 43: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
A.N.T.s
• The Universal A.N.T. Poisons:– ‘there is no failure, only feedback’– ‘Everything that goes wrong in life is a
disguised teaching in some way’– If only to say – ‘don’t do that again!’
![Page 44: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A.N.T.s
• Dan Davis Spoke at UU last month– His suggestions for Negative Thoughts
• Say "thank you for the suggestion, I will take that under consideration”
• Then just imagine it on a piece of paper, crumple it up and throw it away
![Page 45: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
A.N.T.s
• The sheet backside gives the long version– Use it on persistent A.N.T.s
• Use the info to dissect the A.N.T.– And make a stronger A.N.T. Poison!
![Page 46: Living at Cause: Brain Science Tells us How - To Get the A.N.T.s Out of Our Head](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070602/587a5d0e1a28ab520b8b6e65/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
