What is memory and how does it effect the natural learning ability of the child? What are cognitive skills?

I came across an interesting analogy the other day.

We understand that a thought need not define who we are. The practice of mindfulness conveys this. This is also a part of the new age belief that changing one’s inner measure/data/belief into a more positive phrase can change one’s DNA. Overall, this would mean that we place information in our DNA, we become the information that is us. What we are exposed to is what we become. We can understand that our likes and dislikes are a signifier of our exposure. We understand as parents that we understand this because we sense the measure of children in that we pick and choose children for our children to associate with. We are, in essence, walking machines of assessing data/measure/information. We choose children that have a measure we are familiar with, or that we believe will raise our children into being more aware. We send our children to private schools in the hopes that their measure will allow them to solve problems, to get jobs that support them. 

We realize this in how the children sort themselves in various ways through school. Especially noticeable in the third grade, where there appears to be a reformation between friends and groups.  There is a change, as from the past, information has accumulated to the degree that new associations are made. This is not a bad in itself, it is the measure of information allowed. It is to say it is not what someone says, it is how it is said.  Is there an idea that another is no longer enough? Or, is there an understanding of how this works, and a respect for the process, to then move in ways that have no rejection of another?

Thus, our thoughts are a reflection of our measure, which is our exposure.

We understand that computers, when the cookies accumulate, more pop-ups come up. Our computers start to move more slowly because the memory is cluttered.  The more sites we visit the more those pop ups clutter the memory.  If we practice a measure, as a belief, about what we are, that pop-up begins to spin into a personality. This will be the thought that comes up.  If this thought is composed of words and/or pictures, we can know what we have accepted as a belief about ourselves, and because this is coming up in our conscious mind, we can believe that it is real. In effect this is a measure, a piece of data about something, based on an experience, it is not what is real. It is hard to change this in a person when they are running in their minds as this measure. What can happen, is that the words of this thought can move in associative ways because one is operating in one’s memory as experience having not sorted it out for what it is. When any information is read, these thoughts come up, slowing down the processing speed of the child or adult.  The words themselves were learned in the context of repetition and limitation  which builds an entity that becomes an emotional polarity, which is a pull into an idea that pops up. One must rebuild the memory. The words must be learned without triggering the past experiences. Humpty Dumpty can become un-scattered in value judgements based on past experiences.  

We can understand this when we have to slow down and read, or listen to another person. If it is hard to take in the measure of the information, and apply it, or regenerate it to assess it, we are having to change an inner movement that has become automated and habituated to such a degree that that segue into the new form, as a measure or data, is very difficult. It can feel like it is impossible. With practice we can change this. Unfortunately, most adults are too busy, thus there is not enough time in the way we have scheduled this world to allow us to do this. We can use technology to be the practice in changing our inner ‘ presence’ so that we can restore this ability to take in information and realize how we can rapidly learn instead of getting stuck in one inner measure of limited values.

This ability to understand form, is our natural ability. Yet, if we allow our memories- that work like our computers do - to become stagnant in a form of information, we forget this ability to change within. We become divided from our real ability! This that is a natural ability to construct and deconstruct and reconstruct information. In this, one of the pillars of reading development is to become critically literate. Being critically literate means utilizing this ability to change, moving information with ease. This is where the real potential of a person, a child, can begin to express itself. This is educating a child to realize they can assess information, understand it, and then create something new with it. If there is a mindfulness of lack, and a comfort within that idea of lack, the memory will become like a burden in the cognitive ability of the child. I mean, what is assessing that memory, moving in the associations of a measure of a past, that one believed defined what one is, instead of realizing something was formed as a measure, and retained within the memory. 

Because men use language, and because language can describe pictures and values, words as language can be used to order our memories in such a way, that we can access information and change in real time, employing our real ability to change in a moment, within new information. It is to say that words are like a binary code that can be used to communicate and can be used to order.  Because words are like changing forms, they can as units build a sound mind that has a structure that is changeable and orderly at the same time!

What is a scenario that a teacher may face in a classroom with a child. New information is being given. This information is given in an abstract way, because we have developed a system where we form understanding through abstracting that information until it is a concrete form/template/structure within our memories.   If the child is a memory running on ideas about themselves, slowing down and taking in the information, especially in a frame of limited time that does not account for the learning speed of the child because of all the ‘ cookies’ running in the memory, that child will not have the time to slow down their ‘ clutter’ and take in the information to the point where they really know it.  The consequence is that the child, if their thoughts are based on a past experience of the same scenario, has had yet another experience that confirms a self judgement of their ability. There is not time for that child to walk though their slow processing ability, as their memory is cluttered with similar past experiences where a clear structure of the new information is never really lived. 

Parents really need to understand this, as a school cannot possibility sort this out. The teachers are paid to impart information, they cannot possibly by the design of the time structures,  take care of what is essentially varying speeds of learning. Those speeds of learning indicate a lack of connection to a natural learning ability. This is our cognition moving in a sluggish way. That we build memories, indicates that we can take in information and change it and move it.  If limited information has been automated because it has been repeated, it is going to take time to change that construct. The ‘ cookies’ have to be removed and the memory restructured. Words are the means of doing this, because this is how humans communicate. Really knowing our words, builds a more synergistic mind, one that is flexible and fluid in terms of understanding and moving with information.  A clear memory, is a memory one can trust, and then that absorbent ability can lend compassion in every situation, because there is no uncertainty. It is the same as how we learn to become comfortable in driving a car. The structure is set, and then we expand out presence to assess the horizon, which is taking in new information . 

We can also say that this natural learning ability is our absorbent selves. Our memories are the ideas about our world that that absorbent ability has built an idea about. 

If your child is having problems in processing information which is what reading is,  I can show you how to help yourself. Send me a note, through this blog and I will connect with you. I am here to solve this problem.

Thank you for reading, always much appreciated!

What is your neurological network's net worth? What self directs you?

We as parents, and as individuals choosing our friends, assess another child or person as we interact with them, making a decision as to whether we want to befriend them.

This means that we assess the measure of the person, we assess their personality. We watch the very way they move. The way they move is the information of them. It is a story of their exposure and development. It is their ‘ legend,’ their ‘leger’ their measure.

This means that what we are using in protection and self defense, to and towards our own understanding as our measure, as our exposure, is matching another’s measure, which is their exposure. This means that we realize the value of having a measure, a measure that becomes our persona, our personality, forming our character- that which we believe is a measure of value.

Do we race within this so much, to such an extent, that we do not realize the ends to the mean? Does this slight difference, because it is a slight difference in many ways, cause the chaos of judgement that are responses of defense instead of understanding and solution?

The consequences of this, has narrowed the focus of each, onto what is a good, yet what is a limited measure, where we compete for information, for measure instead of realizing that what we are doing is the means to the end that we are seeking. We are seeking to inform ourselves and our children, yet we are caught in building through finding others we believe have a measure that will advance our measure. And we forget that this is what we are essentially doing! Thus, we end up moving in a slow motion of limited in-formation, instead of slowing down and realizing that we are seeking more measure! We are seeking more understanding!

On the side of this, we can realize that we become habituated in our measures; we become fixed in our measures. These measures, as the personalities, do give us some security, some ability to self direct in ways that allow us to survive. So, ask yourself within this, can someone who moves as survival only really be moving in constructive critiques of the information outside of a narrow focus - that has become habituated -  into assessing information and creatively coming up with new ways of doing things that improve life? Is this not the ability of that which moves as choosing measure to connect with as the people around us? If this that assesses in a narrow focus only, moved outside of what is known, and had no fear of doing this, would what men can do so well as finding new ways of doing things, expand that measure within?  Is not a ‘ comfort zone’ an understood measure? Yet, is not our ability to assess, to select measures to befriend as the people around us, that same thing that can move outside of comfort zones to expand into discovering new things?

If we are this, must we fear what is the means to the end? Can we use this to educate, as educe our within to be flexible and reform ourselves to enjoy all men, no longer having to move in limited selection from a starting point of survival only? If we understand this, really see this, need we fear what in-forms as the personality of another may influence into us? Or, as we realize this, do we realize our own selective ability is our response ability, meaning nothing need define us as we naturally can choose how we are formed which means we by nature can change? We can restore through our ability to inform ourselves. We can realize our own fluid natures and assess our surroundings without fear, and instead reform ourselves in every situation to move in more creative ways, having fun, really participating in life, because this is what we all want. Why? Because it is fun! We are uncertain and afraid when we do not have the structure to direct us; we are happy when we are focused completely, coming up with new ways of doing things, or simply to really understand something, to direct ourselves in self responsibility. Ironically, what we seek is self responsibility - the ability to respond in ways that allow us to participate! 

We also understand that our bodies build a neurological net work. That neurological network is our ‘ net worth’ - so to speak. It is the measure of our exposure. Thus, the more opportunity we have the greater our neuro-logic, our net- measure.  Logic is like the wheel of information we have had the opportunity within to reflect an take in.  It is the ‘ wheel’ we assess. It is the personality we become, because we use this information to self direct.  What is this neurological net measure, we soundly constructed? What if this were well ordered enough that we felt secure within this enough to then retain that which built this, that which absorbed this, that which assessed this, as our natural learning ability,  to NOT ONLY move as that ‘ net worth/measure’ and also continue to assess what is around us- that is opportunity!- like when we drive a car? Meaning, the structure of the car is set, we then expand our awareness, our fluid assessment making ability, our natural learning ability,  into/onto the horizon around us, just as we do when we assess what children we would rather our children interact with? What if we could build such a sound neurological net measure ( personality) within that built a character that feared not being what men can do so well when secure, which is being self responsible, self directive ( driving a car?) in ways that allow each to give that care we so want to give to our families- for example?

Because of the present society, and because of what means we have at present to inform us, we can use what men use to communicate. we can use the things as the forms as the words to build a sound mind; a neurological net worth that gives us the self responsibility we so desire to allow us to communicate in our relationships - jobs/family/community- in ways that bring out what is innate within each and every one of us, a desire to participate in living to our fullest, because we are happy when we are focused and doing, we are happy when we can participate and live. Living means being involved with the world/word around us, not fearing to participate in doing and communicate with the world around us.  After all, the magic is in the doing, and when we are doing, as in creating, as in solving problems, we are content and this is a comfort zone that can withstand the test of time! 

Hence, we can use technology to help us help ourselves, we can rebuild our neurological net worth using words, because they are things, they are exposure, they can restore our natural ability to change as what assessing is, to create a net-worth, a measure within, that creates a legend of self responsibility to pass onto our children so that our children can become their full potential to create and do in ways that make all our lives reach their utmost potential. We decide, the means are here. The tools are here, to self empower ourselves to become characters that have what it takes to live a life of potential realized! Is this not the legend we want to leave behind? What is your neurological net worth? 

                                                        What is a sound mind?

Building a subconscious measure as that creates a successful self directive capacity. The process of learning to read.

I have done things in my life where as I moved to do something, that I had researched, I shook within my physical body. I started to realize that when I went against what I had believed, to change, that my body sometimes had a subtle shaking to it. 

I especially think of a time when I had tried a new health methodology, one outside the mainstream medicine.  I had investigated what I was doing, in detail, before I decided to take the step of implementation. As I used the product, I was shaking. This was myself going against earlier programming, as beliefs, opinion and ideas. If I look at the principle of prevention being the best cure, I realize that this fits with the knowledge as all have that it takes longer to correct something that it does to have learned something correctly in the first place. 

Overall, this reveals that we are programmable. We take in form as experience and it comes to be what directs us in our physical movements through out our days. If the information we accept - which is what we do when we allow a measure to inform our directive capacity -  is not what leads to effective self directing, and we realize this as we participate in the world and have to move against a measure we have accepted, as in change, then we run into a form of discord because we are having to move against an accepted measure within, that we realize is not ‘ true’ to what is actually needed in a moment. This can lead to a sense of conflict within, while the old limited information wants expression, and the new wants to come forth. In all, this ordering of the old into the new, can appear to be a storm within, and lead to confusion, unless this is understood.

We do have some understanding of this, in the presence of something called mindfulness. Meaning the thoughts we have, as a reflection of our measure of belief- that information we accepted- need not define who we are, or, need not become what directs us.  Yet, still, there remains a certain degree of a lack of responsibility for who allowed that measure of mindfulness.  Especially within the understanding that our sub-conscious is a measure of all of our experiences!

This means, as I said above, that we become what we allow, we become the measure of our beliefs and these are what is physically integrated, as in what directs us. If we suddenly realize what we believed, as what we accepted, is not reasonable, and we move to change, we can have that old measure racing within us, as the thoughts as the accepted forms, in our minds, while we are trying to employ the new understanding. The consequence of this would cause that old measure to clash with the new measure, and we would feel like we were going against a storm, within, and trying to sort all of this out. This would cause a shaking within, because it is one form clashing against another! It means that over all, what we accept as a belief, as a measure within, is a real thing inside of us, it can effect our physical state of being! And, if we do not understand this, then how can we work with children in a school, where the children do not understand this because it is not made clear? And, how can we in any way punish this? And, can we realize that if a child, because they have not been taught this,  starts to define themselves as being confused and ends at that point, can they in any way, see that this is a process of change and that is all? It is not something that needs to define them, because it is simply a process of expanding awareness as an inner measure that needs adjustment? This also means that each and every child can reach their full potential.

In understanding this, each adult can realize that the patience needed within this, is what each adult would have wanted for themselves!  Thus there is only the choice of being patient, and calm and constantly redirecting a child into what makes sense in action in the everyday movements of living. Or, allowing what is an innate ability to self discover, as self discovery is the strongest way to learn. So much micro-management is more the measure of indoctrination. It is, that there is no right and wrong, there is what respects and cares for the world around us, and the employment of balance, just as we learned to walk and to talk, and any imbalances are a past, and need not define us. In a profit based system of wealth accumulation, the necessary learning steps, are used to define, to eliminate competition. A crime against life overall. 

This process also reveals the limited information presented via our media. Our media is not a measure that gives clear direction. Our media is a limited story, that creates inflated values, using doom and gloom scenarios to unsettle what is a capacity for common sense. Common sense is our natural state of being. How else could we have learned to crawl and walk and talk? How else could we have enabled ourselves to sense the space and time of the world we were born into, and moved our bodies, where no one did this for us, but ourselves? Our nature is common sense. The separation from our common sense, is measures of experience that separate us from that initial ability to learn to crawl, which is an ability to see directly here and take in the measure of the physical world around us. 

When we accept the measure of pictures on a screen, which can be manipulated, we can blame no one but ourselves because it is only us, as our bodies, that point on the ground that can, or cannot take in that measure. If we look at the hyper-sexualization in media, we can see that intimate relationships are turned into a huge inflated value, where we chase this value at the expense of self development. In the end, we realize that sexuality is really a natural process, one that will unfold with time, so there is no need to inflate this. This is using a measures to occupy our ‘ mindfulness’ to the point where this ‘ excitement’ becomes a constant in our ‘ minds’ and causes innumerable problems because we are so busy watching this inflated measure and miss too much practical living in our daily lives. One must ask how much opportunity to expand awareness is lost as one is so busy watching a series of pictures in the mind for entertainment,  instead of being present and within one’s innate common sense? And what happens when one tries to change this? If there a pull towards that imagery, that seems so very real? That is the signature of an inflated value, that is the signature of an inner measure that can cause so many more consequential mis-takes because one’s information is not of a measure that allows that original common sense measure to see directly here. This is that initial presence watching a screen in the mind, and not being within that original common sense that moved in relation to the physical world before that subconscious was filled with a measure.

Thus, how do we begin to reform this inner subconscious measure to become an order that allows change in a moment, that realizes we are organic robots that perform according to the information we accept and allow- which no one can change but ourselves?

How can we become a measure within, as that subconscious that is stable, well ordered and allows self direction that builds confidence and self esteem because our inner measure is equal to the world around us, that world that we used to gage how to crawl and to walk and to talk? How can we build a mind that we can trust? How can we prevent conflicting information, as a measure we have accepted,  to rise within us, and make us feel uncertain, and put an end to not understanding how all of this works? How can we resound that subconscious into well ordered information? And. how can we realize prevention being the best cure?

We can use technology to do this. As technology has no subconscious measure- so to speak. Technology as the television and all the information it imparts, continuously around us, is simply giving a measure, yet we can turn technology into something that builds a stable measure. Our children are so absorbent, as this ability of common sense, that another person who is the personification of a measure, cannot do this. Thus, technology can be used to correct this, and build an inner measure -  as all those thoughts, that build that inner measure - that can be trusted and changed in every moment, removing this conflicts that upset and sometimes become the end game of defining who and what we are because all of this is not understood.

Yet, on one level, we do understand this, or we would not have institutions that are called education systems, because within the word education, is the word ‘ educe’ which means that we create with what we draw out as our presence, that presence that ordered/sensed the world around us and we self directed into learning to crawl and to walk and to talk. Where our talk became the measure of our understanding, the measure of what we accepted as information.  As children we absorbed the measure of our parents, because that is how great an ability our common sense is. So, each parent must ask themselves, have they imparted a clear measure that has built confidence and self esteem in a child? Have parents ensured without any uncertainty the successful in-formation into their child? 

All educational research  reveals that the more effective words a person knows the more successful they become in life. This is why so many spend so much of their income on education. That child is a parent’s best asset for a well ordered future. What is a word? And can a word be cluttered with inflated values? And can we zip file information as this inflation into a word, that as we speak the word, we expect others to automatically see what we have zip filed into a word? Can this cause all manner of conflict as we scream at one another, not realizing that we are expecting the other to understand all the imagery we have zip filed behind the word? Do our relationships move with that same ease that we originally used to learn to crawl and to walk? Is our inner measure clear, as that subconscious that creates the measure of our mindfulness that becomes the information that directs us? Or are we walking mis-information that leads to anger and bitterness as we believe that no one ‘ understands’ us? Where does this behavior lead? Nowhere.

I would suggest to use Techno Tutor, to build information in a child that is like pure water, like small cells of information that can be changed in every moment, to allow what men can do best using their innate common sense in creative ways, which is to be able to face the unexpected without behaviors of fear and insecurity, to stand with self confidence and self esteem, trusting the information within and that it can allow them to make choices that guarantee success. This is a sound mind, this is a child who lives without conflict, this is an adult who can solve problems. This is the making of a world that employs that innate common sense to such an extent that no matter where a child walks, they are safe, and realize their full potential. We decide.  The means is here, and it is cost effective. Become the responsibility you want to be as this is a life fully lived, be the change you want to see, the means are here. It only takes one step and then the next will reveal itself. We, men, are the cells that build this world. Accept life, it is the way and the means to joy.

Processing InFORMation through random Associations.

When the words are clear, the structure clear, cognitive dissonance is more visible.

What I have noticed within reading articles is that often many dimensions of an issue are presented in ways that confuse instead of enlighten.

And if a child does not know the words and is busy sorting out the meanings of the words then there is no ability to begin too see the mixed dimensions of what is being said, there is no ability to fill in the gaps of the associations as the parts given that are not necessarily good or bad, but so mixed that connecting the dots of the perspectives given becomes a task in itself, one that children cannot manage if they do not have enough of a structure as the way and means with which men speak, as the words, to conceptualize a structural awareness of what is being said, to place the points, the aspects brought forward and to align them in ways that build enough of an understanding to realize what is missing, and/or give direction within investigation, because conceptual awareness at some point allows a reflection that is objective enough to see and not fear looking for more information needed to build a solid understanding. Thus when enough structure is there, it gives the awareness that more needs to be understood, and that this “ more” understanding is able to be done, and that acknowledging that more research and investigation is a supportive thing, not something to become embarrassed about because the lack defines what one is, as the understanding that insight happens when structural awareness is solid and developed. When we label children as being fixed in their understanding, which s what class is, then we ourselves have stopped creating, stopped investigating, stopped researching, essentially stopped looking, which is a crime against life, and the ignorance of self punishing the children. 

Within all of this, it must be understood that reconstruction of limitation takes time, and that the change, just like changing direction physically from one direction to another, is a slowing down process, so it appears to be very slow, very very slow, but also, if this is realized, that changing direction can build momentum, and thus that slowing down does not define the outcome. If I think about how our schools function, there is no time allotted for this process. Parents, even a group can stand and change this but the process would be filled  with the conflict of resistance, and what is the most important thing, the child, would be left on the side missing and losing developmental time.

Thus, the parent, who is overall the starting point of the child’s development, as the cognitive map, the experiential map, is the point of responsibility for the building of the child’s character, the “ care” aspect of the child, the child’s self directive capacity, the solid foundational building blocks that enable the child to exist as an efficiently self directive entity as a person in this world. Structurally, as the system design collectively supported and acquiesced to,  cannot go back and make sure every single word and understanding in each child is clear. By design, there is not enough time, there is not enough man power, there is not enough real exposure to language over all. We can realize this in simply looking at the number of words we use in our daily lives, even within that of the upper classes, because often one area is known well, and the vocabulary is limited within that area, as our education systems have created dialects within certain subject areas that have become more a divisive measure than one that allows collective understanding. And, we adults tend to measure our worth based on knowing a “ dialect”, which is essentially exposure to a construct that spins on its own and remains within its own radar, believing it has a solid understanding, but in the end if social ease is not the outcome than there is a conceptual lag and extremes will build as that which is missed accumulates and becomes a problem that can no longer be ignored.

ADHD and ADD : Is the within not equal to the without?

Children that grow up in stable homes tend to have a greater ability to communicate with ease. Children that grow up in homes with more economic pressures tend to have more difficulty in processing language and mathematical computation. This can vary by degree on a spectrum, where it is known that those with a broad vocabulary and exposure to mathematical measure of space and time will become bored in school and end up rejecting participation in school because it simply is moving like molasses to them, and is really a confinement of their expression. Children who have not had any structure given, or very little, become so overwhelmed that they freeze up and want to hide. This second type of child are unbearable to watch, their eyes are often down cast, they stand behind the group, they cannot even sing, they are so completely unable to move themselves it is really criminal and must come to an end. 

No one wants to be this. Following the golden rule in our schools, that we give as we would like to receive, must be practiced in fact, because that child is a part of the fabric of life here, and thus that child is us. If we want the fabric of life to be whole then there is no other option than to ensure that our children are functioning as the ability they are inherently born with in full development, their natural learning ability. As well, those children that have had the opportunity to develop more structural understanding of here, as the words they know, enabling them to process the information, the formation of the world around them and not be lost in fears - not feel inferior to here - must reach their full potential as they are just as much a part of the fabric of here as life as that child in lack. All the children that have various levels of ability in processing information, the formation of here,  that exist between these extremes, must also reach their innate ability to understand here as is their natural learning ability to structure here. Remember that learning to crawl and walk and talk, is a multi-dimensional spatial processing ability, there is no reason as to why this is not developed in all children.

So, why is the within not equal to the without? Are the behaviors of our children showing the separation from a balance of this within being equal to the without? And by this I mean the child being equal in structural understanding of the outer world in common sense?

I was working with this ADHD child. She was reading a text and suddenly the words she was speaking were not on the page, and she was reading away as though she was on track. I just sat there and looked at her. Wow, I mean this was a verbal child, but this did not matter because she was speaking all these words and there was some sense to them, but they were not what was on the page. So, I had her use her hands to stay with the words, and to breath and to sit up straight. She immediately slowed  down and began to struggle. But with practice and constant redirection, refocus, and with a technological tool to direct her to being here, she eventually began to read, and it did not take very much time. She had begun to equalize herself to being here. After about 14 days, she finally stood and read  a passage in a book with such joy, like a whole understanding that the words on the page were able to be seen and she was able to process them and that , yes she could do this, ( so simple )  brought out a child that was a normal interacting-with-here person. She had become normal, instead of all the behaviors of slouching, and becoming frustrated, wanting to go and be involved in what someone else was doing, ( she had this behavior of constantly looking around the room) and speaking out made-up stories instead of the actual words on the page. The self directive ability she realized she was capable of with the words on the page opened her self direction. So, it was like, “ I am here and I can direct myself!” Her within had become equal to her without. This is how our children should be, this is their capacity, this is normal, this is behavior that supports the fabric of life, and thus each of us.

Next post: What inhibits/clutters the within causing a lack of focus here?
