Exploring the Depths of Human Intelligence and the Learning Crisis · The Brain’s Body Podcast: The Brain Is the Body

• 0:03
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We have to pay the price for the life we choose to live in this life.
• 0:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Hello, I'm Dr Slaton Live.
• 0:12
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The brain's body, the ultimate experience.
• 0:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We want to talk today about the podcast hosted by Dr Christopher Kevin Slaton Human Learning Consult, the Progressive Investing Institute of Focus Learning, where I focus on human science, which translates into human intelligence, manifest by brain, body and sense events that lead me, or led me to the study of self, other people in the environment.
• 0:41
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because what we're talking about is information technology interfacing with human intelligence.
• 0:48
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And who's winning that battle, that confluence of goals and objectives?
• 0:55
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: in terms of learning crises, I say that the technology has advanced and dummied down our sense and receive paths so that our intellect has been affected.
• 1:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And that's the learning crises, because we're more relying on the technology to produce our intelligence rather than our inner sense of feel for self and the brain, the brain's body, to allow us to build our own inner human potential to not only compete but be on top of the technology, meaning producing technologies itself.
• 1:37
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Now, I said we're going to keep it real because we're talking about living in a capitalistic environment, right, and if you look at information technology, it is a reproduction of the study of brain, body and sense events as technologies, the nervous system right, the neurologic events that take place that transport the information and knowledge and the experience right.
• 2:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And today they're talking about thinking IT systems that think better than we do.
• 2:14
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But I'm not saying anything different than what I was saying yesterday, except I'm not petrified, as I guess I should be, because even I am being replaced and I'm retired, so that should be scary to me.
• 2:33
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But let me get back to the focus right, because thinking through the use of experience is what sets us apart from technology.
• 2:43
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It's the fact that we are not born thinking.
• 2:48
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We evolve through the experience of the environment right That triggers our brain, body and sense events, so that when we move that information to knowledge as an experience right that produces the brain's feedback cycles And within the context of feedback cycles, you have emotion, thought and reflection being sent through the brain.
• 3:21
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That's an inner out mechanism that we're talking about.
• 3:26
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That produces the thinking part, and the reason why I stay focused on that part is because the learning crisis involves not being able to experience the information long enough to build comprehensive feedback loops that allow you to combat the emotion and the thought that's in your sense path that's causing you to withdraw and isolate and not move through the experience of self in the brain long enough for that feedback loop to turn into forward feed So that that thinking can catch up to that emotion.
• 4:05
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And I go back to the breath of life.
• 4:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You were born into this crisis, if you were born into a family that did not know how to care for you, and when they received you they were not prepared to continue to calm you down.
• 4:23
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because when you were spanked on the butt, the breath of life, what do they see?
• 4:29
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Anger, fear and anxiety.
• 4:31
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because you didn't know where you were, you didn't know why you just got hit, you didn't know.
• 4:38
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And these were the things that came out, the outward things, into the environment, right, the crying, right, the fear, right, the anxiety, right, and you were being evaluated.
• 4:55
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Right, and you were being evaluated And could they settle you down.
• 5:00
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But that's emotion racing forward.
• 5:03
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: From that point on.
• 5:05
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And let's think for a second.
• 5:07
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Yes, let's think, because now you can't think because you've been impacted by the environment.
• 5:11
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What happened Is what you're thinking about, because now you have forward feed.
• 5:17
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I mean, if you've made it through the experience of the experience of self in the brain, now the brain is sending a response.
• 5:26
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: OK, not a reaction, because now it has information.
• 5:32
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That means the brain has some information from being informed through your choice to cooperate because you have a choice.
• 5:41
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The brain just doesn't arbitrarily work.
• 5:45
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It works through you, your sense of feel for self and the acceptance of inner help.
• 5:53
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That's you, becoming more informed to the point in which you choose to move through that hurt, that anxiety, long enough for you to cool off You, your sense of feel for self.
• 6:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: T o calm down the sense and receive paths and understand why you care.
• 6:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because when you hurt, you don't care.
• 6:19
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And many of us are in the learning crisis because we don't care.
• 6:21
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But why do we care?
• 6:23
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We don't care, but we should care.
• 6:25
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So why do we care?
• 6:25
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We care when we say enough.
• 6:29
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And we began to think like I did.
• 6:34
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Felling grade schools, dropping out of school, all those experiences led me to a point where I said enough Enough, because there was no progress.
• 6:45
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Right, it was just fear and anxiety.
• 6:47
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What's going on?
• 6:48
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: How do I stop this from happening?
• 6:50
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That's what we're talking about the learning crisis.
• 6:53
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: How do I stop falling?
• 6:56
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It can't be me.
• 6:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I'm doing everything I can to be successful, so why aren't I successful?
• 7:04
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Stop it.
• 7:06
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: This is what I was going through, right, this is what I was going through.
• 7:09
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: This is what I was going through.
• 7:10
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So what I had to learn was who am I?
• 7:14
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What am I?
• 7:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Why am I?
• 7:16
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: No, those are real research based questions because, you see, we're not talking about animal science, we're talking about human science, and human beings reach a point where they ask the question why me?
• 7:31
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And you want to know, why you.
• 7:35
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But you have to have the courage to investigate through self research, right, and you don't understand automatically, because you got to go through the experience, the experience of understanding what help self help is.
• 7:53
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And the experience builds the thought, and the thought is what manifests the knowledge base That produces the reflection, sustainable reflection, so that you can begin to constantly inform the brain and channel that information, knowledge and experience, so that, even when you're hurt, you choose to accept those feelings of hurt, because you understand the feedback from the forward feed and you participating builds, the knowledge base that allows you to feel empowered because your brain is on and that's what I'm talking about, because once my brain was on, I couldn't turn it off.
• 8:44
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, people look at me and they talk to me, and they say, well, he's this, he's that.
• 8:49
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: No, he's on.
• 8:50
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Once the brain is on, you can't just turn it off.
• 8:54
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It's, there's no switch.
• 8:56
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It's a 24 hour a day thing.
• 9:00
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, 24 hours a day.
• 9:03
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I must understand how to live.
• 9:05
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I must understand how to learn.
• 9:09
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I'm talking about the learning crisis because we all have to go through this.
• 9:14
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We're human beings, we all have to learn how to live, and we just don't start learning.
• 9:22
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We have to learn how to learn.
• 9:24
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That's the brain.
• 9:24
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because until we understand what the brain does, and if we got damage since we received past functions, then how do we heal them?
• 9:32
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You're going to heal them when you realize that your sense and receive path functions relate to how you receive social cognitive data from the external environment and transfer it neurologically, to processing internally right, through the nervous system.
• 9:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And we're not talking about neuroscience, we're talking about human science.
• 10:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We're talking about human system science.
• 10:04
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: When you look at your brain, you got to wonder well, how come my brain does what it does and when a body does that?
• 10:11
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: why does my body do that?
• 10:12
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: and my senses?
• 10:14
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Why do they continue to feed me all this information that leads me to feel suspicious?
• 10:21
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Right, maybe that's why I withdraw.
• 10:25
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Isolate, no, no, that's what we're talking about.
• 10:28
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You learn the brain to study the body, to process the senses.
• 10:36
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Now, this is human system science, because you got to settle you down.
• 10:40
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: When you're behind, you got to catch up.
• 10:44
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I'm not saying that you're behind.
• 10:46
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I work with a lot of parents whose children come to me and they are behind, and they want to know.
• 10:51
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The parent wants to know what can you do that they couldn't do?
• 10:55
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Well, I tell the parent what I can do is develop a learning plan for you and your child to practice living ea ch day to b ecome more informed first.
• 11:07
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And, if you can do that part now, we can build a knowledge base.
• 11:13
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And in the knowledge base is resetting sense and receive path functions based on five things: how you choose to live, how you choose to learn, how you choose to think, how you choose to respond and how you choose to participate in that fifth level right.
• 11:33
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: T hat's take off, because we all compete, but it has to be structured so that you live to learn how to live.
• 11:45
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And the next step, because the breath of life.
• 11:47
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You didn't know how to learn.
• 11:49
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And in the second step, you must know how to learn, because it's about learning how to learn in the third step right, it's about learning how to learn to think.
• 12:01
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: See.
• 12:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, the brain, the sense of feel for self, and the brain.
• 12:06
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Again, the experience of experiencing self.
• 12:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And the brain.
• 12:09
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Right, the feedback is thought.
• 12:11
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Now you're thinking, but you see, it just doesn't happen.
• 12:16
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It happens because you understand the transition between living, learning to think, because you have to live long enough to learn how to think, to catch up to that emotion That's impacting every single aspect of your life.
• 12:36
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And if you don't learn the brain, then how do you truly manifest the mental processing skills of thought?
• 12:47
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And that's what we're talking about.
• 12:50
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, there's no jokes, there's no gimmicks, it's just understanding what human system science is and why, in the same breath, we want to advance our use of technology, but with the brain in the lead.
• 13:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Let me back up Your sense of feel for self in the lead of the body, right To manage, control and focus the use of technology.
• 13:19
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So now your intellect comes from the inside out, because you are learning the technology as an environment external to you.
• 13:28
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Now you're ready, you see, but the technology cannot be in front of you, because then you're programmed, and that's why, when you lose your computing, you don't know how to function.
• 13:41
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: When you lose your cell phone, you don't know how to function Because the cell phone has replaced you.
• 13:46
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It is now how you live, it is now how you learn, it is now how you think, it is now how you respond, it is now how you perform, see, and that's the capitalistic catch.
• 13:59
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That's why it cost you more to live than it does me.
• 14:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So don't be upset at me, because I'm doing well, because I'm on top of me, but I'm trying to expand that knowledge base because it's lonely out here, right, trying to stay on top of my sense of feel for self in a world of programmed people, right, who are trying to just compete.
• 14:26
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But to compete they have to buy into the technology and allow the technology to captivate them, versus them captivating the use of the technology because they are using it to advance their sense of feel for self and the brain.
• 14:45
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That self empowerment, that's entrepreneurship.
• 14:48
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And now take the technology and then putting it right back into the market against all those odds of success.
• 14:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because everybody is programmed into a book.
• 15:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Each school, each technology is based on a book and that's what's sold back to you the program.
• 15:10
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Y ou learn the program to operate the device, right.
• 15:16
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You remove the device and how do you live, learn, think and respond, see?
• 15:23
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: so all I'm trying to understand is that our conversation is reality based, and this is what I've been talking about since I began the podcast.
• 15:30
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You know you think about the brain's body.
• 15:32
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The brain's body is how do I learn to improve my sense and receive path functions that have been damaged by the experience?
• 15:41
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And I go back to the breath of life, because we all share that experience and if we're going to study self in real time.
• 15:50
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We got to look at what happened.
• 15:52
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: S ee, because we got to do what?
• 15:55
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We got to learn how to live and where we are.
• 15:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, I talked about inside the brain's body, and I had a couple of people talk to me about that and say well, what do you mean by inside the brain's body?
• 16:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The brain's body is where all this stuff is taking place.
• 16:13
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: W here the energy, action and feelings are moving through you, right, and these social cognitive, and environmental events that are influencing you are changing the way you sense and feel contact and interaction.
• 16:29
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: his is what dummies down your sense path because you don't have comprehension, which you have is fear and anxiety, because it's leading you and you're going through the unknown channels of the unknown because you cannot imagine what is inside the technology that allows the technology to do what it's doing to you.
• 16:46
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, you lose a sense of control.
• 16:49
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But you have to have a sense of control because that's how you manage the flow of energy, action and feelings through your human system, brain, body and sense events.
• 16:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: See, and in doing so right, you become the technology.
• 17:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Why?
• 17:03
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because most people cannot stay cool and collect a sense of feel for self and the brain long enough to cool off and understand what their next series of moves should be.
• 17:19
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because reflection from the experience of all that mental processing is kicking in.
• 17:26
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And that emotion is neutralized.
• 17:29
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The conflict of emotion and thought from the environment moving through the sense path is neutralized because the brain produces, produces its own emotion, thought and reflection that we're talking through, and the reflection moves through the experience and levels of care.
• 17:53
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That's why I talk about care a lot.
• 17:54
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You say you don't care.
• 17:56
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You're talking to your brain.
• 17:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You're telling your brain not to care about that.
• 17:59
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Okay, don't care about that this time, brain, right?
• 18:01
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, what about the next time?
• 18:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: No, we are talking about the learning crisis.
• 18:04
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What's the next time?
• 18:05
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: brain Care about it, right?
• 18:07
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: No, it doesn't work that way.
• 18:09
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: See, just like I talked about program.
• 18:11
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You could program yourself into isolation withdrawal right.
• 18:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And not realize that that's what you're doing, because you're talking about not participating.
• 18:20
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: If you're not participating, you're saying I'm not cooperating.
• 18:23
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Who you're not cooperating with?
• 18:24
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Your sense of feel for self and the brain that needs that interaction in order to produce the reflective capacity to build the knowledge base forward.
• 18:37
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, when you encounter these situations, no matter where they're coming from, there's a response and you live through the response because every day you got to wake up and go through it all over again.
• 18:49
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Live, learn, think, and respond.
• 18:51
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I have to perform.
• 18:52
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What do you have to perform?
• 18:53
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I have to perform why?
• 18:54
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because if I don't, I fall behind.
• 18:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What do you fall behind in?
• 18:58
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Making money, right.
• 19:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: A nd how do you make your money?
• 19:03
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You can't get to work when you use a bus, car those are technologies.
• 19:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Right.
• 19:09
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You can't go to the store unless the computer systems and everything else is functioning.
• 19:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That's a technology.
• 19:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I'm not knocking technology.
• 19:18
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I'm knocking us as human beings when we stop understanding that we must build our human intellect to interface with technology.
• 19:29
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because if the technology is going to take us over, it's going to be because we continue to decline in human intelligence and that's the learning crisis.
• 19:40
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It has nothing to do with school per se and everything to do with how we choose to live, how we choose to learn, how we choose to think, how we see, because you could say I don't care.
• 19:53
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, you don't live, you don't learn, you don't think, you don't respond, you don't participate, you don't perform.
• 20:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And, then you just what is or what could have been?
• 20:06
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And as you get older, you're like, okay, I could have done this, I could have done that better, you see, and where are you at?
• 20:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Okay, no, because, see, the technology is not the problem anymore.
• 20:19
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Just trying to survive is the problem then.
• 20:23
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, this is Dr Christopher Keven Slaton, and again there's another brief, a brief about the brain's body.
• 20:30
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And, human system science, not animal science.
• 20:34
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The study of children, parents and crises as th ey were moving through their home school and haven't worked place networks right.
• 20:43
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: W here their families were in decline.
• 20:46
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: They were encountering school failure, delinquency, lack of employable skill sets and poverty.
• 20:53
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: When you read my literature, it tells the story that I'm talking through.
• 20:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We got to stop the pain, hurt and the sadness.
• 21:01
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But you know what we're talking about?
• 21:03
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: .
• 21:03
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Improving your sense and receive path functions so you can regain control over your body.
• 21:11
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Ri ght, because your body cannot be in the lead of the brain.
• 21:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The brain has to manage the flow of energy, action and feelings and without that control, then how do you calm yourself down?
• 21:28
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: because that emotion is killing us, because we're born with it.
• 21:34
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And if we don't learn how to think not what to think, how to think how the brain actually becomes a mental processor of the experience of the environment.
• 21:48
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So again, I relate it back to behaviorism, which says the environment makes you predictable, because you are supposed to respond to the environment.
• 21:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Human systems science, no.
• 21:57
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You learn the environment, self, other people and the environment.
• 22:04
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You learn through a sense of feel for self and other people, then the environment, because you're studying the environment to learn how to move through the experience of it.
• 22:14
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So if there's a person in your way, you move through them as an experience and the brain now knows how to deal with that person, because that's a thinking part.
• 22:25
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: But you have to move through the experience of self and the brain long enough to build that knowledge base.
• 22:32
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And, in that same sequence the comprehension is over time the brain builds a plan.
• 22:40
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You know I talk about talking to the brain.
• 22:42
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Well, the brain talks back.
• 22:43
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You're getting the plan, but will you choose to follow it?
• 22:47
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: See, but if you don't understand how your brain performs, then if the brain is talking back, you're like what's going on?
• 22:55
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I'm afraid You know what I'm thinking, you know what my state of mind is.
• 22:59
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: That's why I say to you, you talk about the state of mind.
• 23:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What mind are you talking about?
• 23:04
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What's the difference between your mind and your brain?
• 23:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: T hose two different technologies.
• 23:10
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The mind was produced by behaviorism.
• 23:12
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It had nothing to do with the brain.
• 23:14
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Now they could say it has to do with the brain today, but if you go back and look at the historical record, the mind is a program.
• 23:22
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It's a behaviorist state, it's a mood state.
• 23:24
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, if you fast forward to the day, I'm saying to you yeah, they can use it that way, but it does not equate you with the skills you have to have in order to defend yourself or to build the proper defense mechanisms, because you have to talk to the brain.
• 23:39
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Because the brain was omitted from the theories of behaviorism because they were studying animals.
• 23:48
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And, systems thinkers
• 23:52
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: People said and have established that you couldn't study the brain, which was a real staple, because when you dissect the brain, something shuts off.
• 24:06
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: It's not its usual, normal functioning cells.
• 24:10
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: How do you?
• 24:11
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: and then you put it on a computer, and that's where neuroscience kicks in.
• 24:14
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So we're still confused about what is the brain versus the mind?
• 24:19
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: because the brain, the brain, is a complex organ, even more complex than that.
• 24:25
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So too is your brain, body and sense systems.
• 24:29
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Those are complex cell systems, right?
• 24:33
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So how do you figure this out?
• 24:34
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I'm telling you, you learn how to learn your brain through self-study.
• 24:39
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: You learn how to move through these experiences of self and the brain through self-help.
• 24:47
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: And finally, you take off, because you find a sense of feel for self, self-discovery, entrepreneurship, and understanding your place in the world.
• 25:01
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Now, if you want, you can be a technology.
• 25:05
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I just said it because that's what you are.
• 25:08
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Parents: If you have a child and you're studying what I'm saying, you're a child's technology.
• 25:15
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: If you choose to teach your child how to learn to live inside a home, understanding they want to own one.
• 25:27
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: O kay, so that's their practice.
• 25:30
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: They're not living inside that home.
• 25:32
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Same transition to the school.
• 25:35
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I already said this, but that's the technology, because these are man-made environments, and you move through them.
• 25:42
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: So, as technology takes over, what do you have to be able to do?
• 25:45
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Understand the environment.
• 25:47
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: What are you learning?
• 25:48
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: The environment in relation to what?
• 25:51
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Human potential.
• 25:53
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: This Dr.
• 25:55
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Slaton.
• 25:55
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Again, I don't want to be too advanced.
• 25:58
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Pick up the book, break it down for you, get online.
• 26:02
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We got to catch up right now that emotions out there killing us.
• 26:06
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We got to catch up.
• 26:07
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: We can catch up only if we understand the mental process variables that lead you to thinking things through, that allow you to catch up with that flow of emotion that is already built up a knowledge base in your sense and receive path that blocks the flow of information.
• 26:25
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Right, because of self-doubt, because of fear, anxiety, all those other things that I talked to you about.
• 26:31
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Dr.
• 26:33
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Slaton L ive tuning out, tuning out.
• 26:34
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Hope you're listening, tuning out.
• 26:37
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: I'll be back shortly.
• 26:38
  Dr. Christopher K. Slaton: Tuning out, see you.
