Do children get a Left Brain Education?

In case you're wondering - this is a blog from Singapore.  And yes, we want a left brain educated citizens in Singapore.  I sound rather tongue-in-cheek but it is true!

I was speaking to an expert the other day and she confessed that all teachers in her school are left-brain products.  Except for the principal, of course...she had to relate to both the teachers and parents in double quick time every day and she's whole-brain...other reasons for her promotion etc

To recap, a left brain dominant person would be good at details, extremely verbal, thinking easily in sequence etc... as opposed to a complete pictorial view and thinking in visuals, music and other non-verbals - in other words... imagination.  The right brain function is open to new ideas and exploration whereas the left brain is completely statistical and stepwise in approach to anything.  If you ever have dreams and can remember them, your mind is accessing imagination.

In truth, we need both.  We need to be whole-brain in approaching any subject.

But are your children getting a left brain education primarily?  Definitely so in Singapore...may be your country is different...When they enter the formal school at age 7, the left brain training begins.  For example, questions are not encouraged...It is common for a child not to put up their hands as they are afraid to ask a "silly" question.  How would you like to be reprimanded for asking what the date is at 7 years old?  You need to write it down as part of the written assignment of the day and you are not quite sure.  A bold child would but will your friends consider you 'stupid' or even worse have the teacher tellings you off for that?  If you did not hear clearly, do you ask the teacher to repeat herself...of course not! You ask your friends...it is safer that way.

The parent who buys up each and every assessment workbook for the child to practice on so that she is well prepared for the exam is only encouraging the child to store up standard answers.  When a non-standard question is set, panic and frustration that sets in is enough to force the exam mind into disarray...I am not saying that we don't need the workbooks but how many of you think that the only way for the child to improve is doing more homework

Are parents Hypnotist?

Are you a parent?

If you are...I think you are a hypnotist...practicing Accidental Hypnotism.

When you do that constant repetitive instruction ... for your child's good of course...and you repeat it in so many ways...enticing, commanding, tonality changed, bribing, rewarding with praise or otherwise....and stopping only when you have installed the desired behaviour successfully.

Why...YOU ... are the hypnotist.!

Of course, we hypnotists use the word "suggestion"  but it is really an instruction to the subconscious mind.

And children are the easiest subjects where hypnotism is concerned.  They normally do not question in their mind as the belief system is just forming...they believe you because you the parent, is the authority figure...just as teachers are the authority figure that they accept when you send them to school. 

 Remember the first time they come home from school all enraptured with what the teacher taught?

Or have you not experienced disagreement as your child comes home and proclaims that the teacher is right and not you?  Like it or not, that is one of the first things that a school does to your child's model of the world

For that matter, the teacher is practicing Accidental Hypnotism too.

Parents, I welcome your comments

Abadakabra - be Energised

Magic Anyone?

ABADAKABRA is from the Aramaic phrase avra kehdabra, meaning “I will create as I speak”.
The source is three Hebrew words, ab (father), ben (son), and ruach acadosch(holy spirit).

Without a doubt, God's way of creating is by speaking.  Hence he is against every word that is spoken against His word or his creation  - us.

Words spoken change the energy that He has given us.
Don't try this - raise your voice at your colleague or spouse for no reason for a good 3 minutes, maybe just pretend she is deaf.  Did the energy of your relationship suddenly change?

Words create the energy for the possibilities and opportunities that will happen.  They even energize the cells  and brain and mind to perform according to our words.  At the cellular level this has been proven to be so   Re: The biology of belief" by Dr.Bruce Lipton.  Although the man has new age in thinking his work is scientific

So speak to create; even mountains must move when they hear our voice.

DO IT TODAY.

I am in the Bible

So this is God's personal reality - how He defines himself

OLD TESTAMENT

And Moses said to God," Who shall I say sent me?"
The answer is the all compassing, "I AM"

NEW TESTAMENT
Gives a deeper revelation of Himself

I am the resurrection and the life
I am the bread of Life

the Reality Machine

Your mind is the Reality machine.
In other words you see what you think you see.  You are not what you think you are but what you see yourself as.  You are not superman even if you think you are.

I am talking about personality and how you see the World.
A negative person who has the negative frames switched on will see through these glasses of negativity.
Ask any psychologist.  The positive person sees the world through possibilities and vice versa.  The amazing thing is that we are not aware of the frames and are often caught up in mental loops of either negativity or positivity.

A good example of mental loops would be the gambler at the jackpot machine...having won a jackpot, he continues putting money back thinking there is more to be milked.  The next change of coins will not be given much thought as he is in a mental loop.  Surely it is just a matter of time before the machine yields a flurry of coins to enrich the player.  And he forgets that the machine is programmed to statistically give the casino the advantage...till it is too late.

QUESTION


How does God intend for us to see ourselves or to see the world?

ANSWER:

He gives us a mirror to the invisible world...it's called the Word of God aka the Bible

So get into the Word for a change of mind.  It works.

I am ...

What would you like to say following the two words "I am... "
THAT defines your reality.

When you say I am discouraged, or sad or... any of those negative things.
you bring them into your presence..or call it an invitation for negative energy.  Sure as a wizard casting a spell these monsters come and take over your life.  Come on you have done it before.  Or perhaps even stuck there now

So can you say like what is taught in church?
"I am the righteous"

Rightousness is a gift that you get when you accept what Jesus has done on the cross for you.
