Is it egotistical to put brainy quotes on your facebook?

BrainSpeak answers:
No, but it’s pretty egotistical — and a bit delusional — for you to think that you could even recognize a “brainy quote.”

James asks…
Could any question on Y!A Politics be answered by using Brainy Quotes?

Laura asks…
What is the source of these quotes by George Washington?
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth – George Washington
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master- George Washington
I got them from brainy quotes online but I need to cite them for a paper I’m writing

BrainSpeak answers:
“Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”
George Washington, letter to James Madison, March 2, 1788
The way I got that information is to do a search for the phrase.
But here is a tip.
First put a plus sign +
Then the quote enclosed in quotation marks.
Thus +”Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”
Now the search engine will only list web pages that contain those exact words

George asks…
how can i test subliminal messaging in a science fair project?
I am looking for a way to test subliminal messaging in a science fair project. My science teacher recommended that we do not use other people to test, for example if i “made my own subliminal message,” because it could take a while for me to get approval back from the state. I’ve read other examples of past science fair projects, which all had great ideas, but to pursue most of them I would need to do a very similar procedure, which could result in plagiarism. If you have any advice at all please let me know. Thank you so much.

BrainSpeak answers:
I’m a marketing student so i know quite a bit about this. Allot of subliminal is illegal for commercial purposes. You will be fine for science fair project. Recreate the first instance of visual subliminal messaging. In a movie theater movie there are 24 frames per second. One frame per second was a coke banner ad. This practice was used in the 1930′s. It cause a 70% increase in coke sales at the intermission . Because the people exposed to the ad were not aware of it and could not consiously make a decision about wether to buy its was declared illegal. Another coke example croped up in the 80s a coke poster featured a ice cude. In sillouette a naked women could be seen this caused males to inexplicably be attracted to the ad. Subliminal adversising works because we subconcously see something (or hear) that we are attracted to. It is illegal because it affects us but we are unaware of it. Great topic for your science fair good luck

Carol asks…
Are the subliminal messages in songs played backwards done purposly?
Ok, so the other day me and my friend started watching these subliminal messages in songs played backwards. It scared the living crap out of me!
I was just wondering if this was done purposely, or maybe just a coincidence?
Or maybe they just modified words, like maybe it said “fick” and they mistook it for, well you know…
So i was just curious.
Thx 
-Lochness <3

BrainSpeak answers:
Tread carefully here. For many years people thought the Beatles were giving subliminal messages about the death of Paul. A whole conspiracy theory grew up around this (on the cover of Abbey Road Paul is the only one walking barefoot. People are buried barefoot. Therefore Paul must be dead). This is some pretty weak thinking.
Most people who have a message state it plainly, and the less talented scream it at you.
The media lies of course, but it does this more by the selection of news than by falsifying news.
Be rational and avoid conspiracy theories of all kinds. Most of them are hatched by people who are quite paranoid.

Mary asks…
Does anyone think that subliminal messages on songs are accurate?
Like led zeppelin, and all the Disney messages in the children movies. If you haven’t seen them checc them out on youtube

BrainSpeak answers:
Well, they certainly exist, in both video and audio media. The first one I ever heard about is a “Paul is dead, miss him, miss him” message embedded in one of the Beatles’ song tracks.

Meditation techniques?
I’ve tried breathing deep and concentrating on my breath and nothing else. After about 15-20 minutes I become amazingly relaxed (I remember the first time I tried it felt like I had a bullet removed). But I’m rather new to this and have only once completely shut out reality and it was short lived.
I’d like to know a few tips and techniques for deep meditation.
What do you guys do to meditate?
Also, yoga isn’t on my list of things to try in the near future.

BrainSpeak answers:
When you are first learning to meditate you should meditate in the same place in your house all the time because the energy will build up in that place, and also your subconscious will respond better, and your meditations will get easier over a shorter period of time. Just like that serene energy builds up in a church or synagogue because it is where people consistently go to pray, that energy will also build up in your house if you pick a place where you will go to consistently do meditation. You might also want to say a prayer and ask for guidance before and after each meditation session.
Try quieting your mind and meditating with your eyes open when you are standing in line at the grocery store, bank, etc. This is also a good way to nurture patience, and patience is necessary for deepening your meditation.
Nonetheless, meditate as much as you can because it’s like a snowball rolling down a hill and the more you do it the more it will gather that energy and soon you will find effortless meditations. You should never have to use effort when meditating as meditation is all about letting go, and in truth you do not meditate rather all you do is dive into a flow which is already there.
I have been doing quiet meditation for more than 30-years and my meditation comes to me very easy. It is a very soft , quiet, beautiful presence that envelopes my mind and body. The key is to learn how to quiet your mind and live with silence inside. The human mind is a chatter box that will not readily quiet down; it will come between you and your quiet meditations, but when meditating you must not give thoughts any attention.
There are lots of techniques but techniques are only tools; tools that as you advance you will learn to let go of and experience instantaneously quiet meditations without techniques. What you do with your attention is most important because regardless what techniques you have if you have a wandering attention your meditation will remain shallow. Concentrating your attention to a single focus, while quieting your thoughts, will get you better results.
Meditation is a journey unto itself, it is a journey without a goal or destination, as what you are meditating on is your own deeper nature. Nurture the journey but don’t rush it.
Peace and Good Journey

Jenny asks…
Meditation Techniques?
I hear that medatation and yoga and all that stuff is good for you.. I really want to give it a try. Any techniques for calming and destressing would be highly appreciated.:)

BrainSpeak answers:
Meditation and yoga put you into a light trance, which makes you relax and destress. Hypnosis gives the same feeling. Check out any hypnosis or meditation videos on youtube, plenty of people post them. Also, check out yoga classes at a YMCA or some other private studios. Sometimes, yoga classes are on TV, check them out. Good luck!

SElf Esteem quiz?? i scored a 38!!? You Try?
This likely comes as no surprise to you, but you have relatively low self-esteem. Your answers on the test showed a lot of doubt about your own abilities, lack of self-love and some attitudes and beliefs that are contributing to your confidence problem. Essentially, you’ve got yourself trapped in a vicious circle; if you believe that you cannot do something, your belief causes you to think and behave in a way that leads to your eventual failure. Chances are that you are quite frustrated with this situation and would like to change. Self-esteem, after all, is key to happiness and success. If you don’t believe in yourself, how will you find the courage to pursue the career you desire, form healthy relationships or find your place in the world? The good news is that you can work on building your sense of worth…and you can start right now, today. There is a wide range of resources available out there on the subject, or you might even want to contact a therapist if you’re not sure you can t

i honestly do not think i am that confident, but i just scored a 68 on a confidence test, which was average if not better than the others who took the test. also, people say confident people do not care what others think of them. people say nasty things about me all the time because i do not watch what i say and they make a mockery out of it. when i hear people saying rumors about me, i do not care one bit. they can say whatever they want about me. i am satisfied with the way i live. does that show confidence?

If you are using Windows, and looking for a simple software to do this, microsoft comes inbuilt with Windows Movie Maker. This allows you to cut up and add in any message you want.

Why is it important to make a distinction between subliminal perception and subliminal persuasion?
Why is it important to make a distinction between subliminal perception and subliminal persuasion? What has empirical research revealed about each?

BrainSpeak answers:
“Perception” (subliminal or not) is something YOU do as you observe and give meaning to the world around you, other people, events, etc.
“Persuasion” (subliminal or not) is something that is done TO you by someone else who wants you to believe or think as they do about something.

Meditation Classes NYC or Online – What’s my Best Choice to Learn Meditation in NYC?
I’m open to both weekend/evening courses and self-directed or guided meditation courses that are available online. Though I’m a beginner, I am aware of what meditation is and its positive health benefits.

NYC has a number of meditation classes offered by both religious and non-religious centers. The key is to find something that appeals to the way you like to learn meditation.
Some popular meditation classes in NYC include:
1. Vishwa Dharma Mandalam
2. Tao Yoga & Tai Chi
3. ISHTA Yoga
4. New York Insight Meditation Center
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a self-directed, guided or online meditation course then I recommend the Trypnaural Meditation program. It’s one of the most powerful types of meditation I have experienced:
