Brain Self-Control is a consciousness expansion technique based upon computer software and hardware models, human genetics, and modern psychology--hence, we are witnessing the genetic evolution of mutant neural cybernetics! Witness the transmutation from killer ape, non-thinking conformists who belong to tribes, states, churches, rigid organizations, nations, and industrial societies into cyber pilot states characterized by auto-thinking and species telepathy to consensus action. The beauty of it all is that each and everyone of us is genetically programmed via DNA/RNA to outgrow our cultural constraints and grow into higher states of Cosmic Consciousness. Like all gifts from nature transcendence is free. The synergistic result culminates in progressively increased neural efficiency and rational thought so as to release primary creative production, moral goodness, happiness, ecological responsibility, social responsibility, love, and prosperity--and, GENETIC FULLFILLMENT.

Before preceding any further please read this short piece.

At this point it is assumed that you have read the legal disclaimer and thus absolve the owners of this site from any possible legal action. In essence, you have decided to take full responsibility for your Self.

Finally, please note that Lingo makes a lot of references to the brain being 90% dormant. At the time of his writing this was the common belief. Now we know otherwise. The brain is functioning at all levels, but the degree of activity and where consciousness is shunted is what we are primarily concerned with. For example, our current society seems to be locked into the activities of the lower brain centers...ie, war, hate, aggression, greed, etc. We are now at a phase of evolutionary growth where we need to shunt our consciousness into the frontal lobes where we can enjoy the fruits of higher states of consciousness. Regardless of the 90% dormancy claims, the tools are still valid in releasing the bound energy of neurosis into Whole Brain Power.

General Psychology and Philosophy

The papers below will provide the reader with the foundation needed to work through the Brain Self-Control Cyber-books. You are highly recommended to access the books that are referenced

The Triune Brain
The human brain consists of 3-brains-in-1 (MacClean, 1973). The triune brain is composed of three neural substrates that are represented by the reptilian brain, the paleomammalian brain, and the neomammalian brain. This paper goes into detail how the three different brains work together and independently to make us who we are.

The Self
The Self, introduces you to that biologically component that separates us humans from the rest of the animal kingdom--the human brain.

Self-Realization and Social Responsibility
Within the modern industrial-consumer state the individual is self-alienated and the various institutions/policies within the state makes it metaphysically impossible for the individual to attain a state of self-realization and spiritual consciousness, this, in turn, threatens the success of any social movement or revolution. And, so it is addressed in this paper.

Brain Self-Control Goals
The goals from which this entire programs is built. It is along with the goals, and the need for individual creative self-expression that drives each of us towards attaining life meaning and happiness. The ultimate goal is self-realization, Nirvana, Cosmic Consciousness, and higher states of consciousness. In our quest it is only fitting that we share our working knowledge of the world, and since life is the greatest art form, then we encourage everyone to contribute what they have learned on their journeys.

Introduction
Know this:  Whole brainpower can be learned.  Once you make the decision to accept the free gift of your natural curiosity and enthusiasm about understanding your brain cell neurons, then all you need to do is the work.  Once you start doing the "Self-Study Exercises" at the end of each Lesson within this Brain Self-Control Workbook, your inner genetic intelligence will give you your personal map of directions.  These hunches, instincts, intuitions and ideas automatically will guide you into your personal magnificent growth.

Quality Brain Work in the Workplace

Science has progressed sufficiently to release the vastly dormant human brain into increased intelligence and creativity. Workers can self--release the 3/8 bulk of passive frontal lobes on the job. The method increases production, efficiency and quality. The Japanese have a head start into motivating workers to flow with the job as a natural and satisfying gusto of living. Where the American workaholic furiously rams the job--provoking personal stress and quality decline--the Japanese work-lover glides with the endless curiosity and interesting-ness of creation to generate personal happiness and quality perfect ion.

Self-Transcendence Workbook

You now shall start to emancipate 100% of your “PIES”: your physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual brain energies. You shall not do this by quitting your job and abandoning your family and escaping the city and joining some monastery atop some mumbo jumbo hillock to meditate a blank wall for 20 years in the hope of glimpsing enlightenment. Rather, you shall get your no-nonsense maturation quickly by means of the simple, clear, proven facts of science. Science now can teach you how your brain works and how you can control it into the ultimate cosmic orgasm. And you shall do this not as hard work, but as child play. At home. At work. You shall complete your health/vision/work/career/freedom/Life into perfect happiness merely by doing the exercises in this Workbook a few minutes each day while following the Lifestyle you now choose.

This 420 page workbook is in PDF format in order to make it more portable. Self-Transcendence Workbook. We are currently breaking it down into individual lessons. Here is a peek, but in no way are we done since there are 100 lesson. These are rough pages that have not had the template applied yet, but everything else is good to go.

Brain Self-Control and Computers

Our working hypothesis and that is "The human brain functions very much like a digital computer." This is an idea that myself and a colleague started pursuing in the late 1970's. We went as far as to write a workbook in the mid 1980's, and with the recent "discoveries" I decided to go back and retrieve all of the papers that I have pertaining to the subject. I just pulled six chapters of the book out and converted them to text files, and imported them into Web pages. These lessons are long, powerful, and free. The basic premise is that you can learn to write your own software for your personal bio-computer. The computer "language" at the time, involved working at the command prompt using DOS shell commands. Looking back at the material it seems very appropriate. I will put this book up as quickly as I can, and come this winter I will begin scanning the thousands of pages of work that I have amassed the last forty years. We will continue to update.

Creative Problem Solving
Super Charge Your Brain With Some Simple Tools.

Creative Problem Solving...yup, the keys to success! Here tools are provided that will help the individual become a more efficient problem solver (I wrote these papers in 1987.) These are just some of the tools that all Cosmic Warriors possess ...tools of survival. The Syllabus of Survival...the ultimate warrior's guide...will be completed by 2008, but for now we will provide you with this set of tools. You will first be introduced to some theory...yummy...and then you will slowly be taught the skills. The key to success is to use these tools daily, and throughout the day. For example, use your affirmations while walking the aisle of the store or use your creativity techniques while doing the dishes. Important note: Be smart, be safe--do not use any of these techniques if it puts you or others in danger, ie., while driving or rock climbing! Remember though, these tools are just a beginning.

Introduction Creative problem solving skills are needed in a technological society in order to generate innovative ideas.
A Working Definition of Problem Solving Any definition of problem solving should consist of three ideas. First, the problem is presently in some state. Second, it is desired that the problem be in another state. And third, there is no direct, obvious way to accomplish the change.
Human Information Processing Systems By understanding how the human brain processes information, then it becomes easier for the user to adopt "software" tools to get the machinery to run more efficiently.
Problem Space and Goals Problem solving takes place by search in a problem space. When a problem is first presented, it must be recognized and understood. Then a problem space must be constructed or, if one already exists in Long Term Memory, merely evoked.
Searching the Problem Space Even though most of the procedures that will be discussed in this section are from the fields of Discrete Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, it shouldn't’t be too hard to conceive of the human brain as using such search procedures in solving its own problems. This is not to say that the individual is always consciously aware of using the specific algorithms presented, but that instead the brain may also use such search routines on the unconscious neuronal level in communications between neural networks.
Biological Aspects of Problem Solving Since we have established a theoretical basis for problem solving, we should also supplement it with a biological model. Biologically, the task of problem solving was found to be located in the frontal regions of the brain.
Developmental Factors in Problem Solving What factors contribute to good problem solvers? There are a minimum of three different components that are involved in a child’s acquisition of problem solving skills. The three components that will be covered here are: (1) spatial perception, (2) experience, and (3) language.
Characteristics of Problem Solvers What do good problem solvers have that poor problem solvers don't? Nothing that cannot be changed. Identify and define what needs to be changed, and then it is all the easier to change the unwanted into a desirable.
Blocks (Cultural, Perceptual, Emotional) to Creative Problem Solving. Simple tools that define the various components that block maximum problem solving efficiency.
Memory: Simple Tools to Improve It Good problem solving must draw upon past experience. Learn how to improve your memory skills.
Creativity It is not that complex of a process, nor are the tools! But, the good problem solver is one who can generate many possible solution states...it is that one in a hundred that makes the difference between failure or success.
Change Attitudes in Problem Solving Via Affirmations A simple method used by professionals to help clients attain maximum performance. You are changing the brain's current program via a visualization technique ...change negative attitudes into positive attitudes.
Writing Logically This is an addendum that will give the the tools needed to approach each problem space and break it down into the necessary components needed to move from the initial state to the goal state. Not only will you learn a method of solving everyday problems, but you will also learn to write in a more logical fashion. Very effective methodology.
Bibliography This is a very comprehensive list of readings.

The Iron Book (1971)

The Iron Book is a totally fluid dynamic of self-therapy, totally democratic in its adjustment to the emerging power needs of the individual, constantly re-written to adjust to feed back from student enrolled in this program. The typical student is around 20 years of age, middle-class, attending a university in the Denver area, self-motivated to pursue reading on his/her own, aimed at getting back to the land, and potentially dedicated to becoming a teacher in one of the established helping profession or in founding his/her own school of the future. Worksheets are added or subtracted, jumped fast or retrogressed carefully, as individual need suggests, creatively.

The pages added here are not in the original sequence. Instead, the pages are being added as the needs of individuals that I come in contact with are made known to me. In a sense, this is a personal self-therapy regimen for my young friend(s)...provided with all my Love. God speed in your quest.

History, Pictures, and Extras

Lingo Photo Gallery These photos have not been altered in anyway except for cropping from the scanner. I have watermarked them, but if you would like the originals in raw, psd, or jpeg format then just drop me an email at ron(at)co-bw.com Most of the photos were taken by Annie Dlouhy. Most of the photos were taken around 1980.

Educational resources that can be used in the classroom or to help you in your personal quest. The Writing in Math paper is a good technique to use in general problem solving. This is something that should be implemented every day until it becomes second nature. The Brain In Nature Course curriculum can be used as a curriculum for teaching outdoor education with a neurological twist, or you can use it to help you become familiar with the outdoors. On the individual level it would make a great guide for learning how to live within primal nature. It is not required that you be in the wilderness to practice some of these techniques. If you are a city dweller, then use it to prepare yourself for your frequent sojourns into the wilderness.

Outdoor Education Curriculum
This curriculum was used for eight years and the students were "high-risk" students. The methodology is based upon the Brain Self-Control techniques that are introduced on this site, but the methods have been tweaked to address the needs of today's adolescent. The students who participated in the program possessed a high degree of ownership. The drop-our rate at the HS where this program was initially implemented dropped by almost 85% in two years. We would be happy to help anyone or school that would like to implement the program do so.

The Triune Brain
The human brain consists of 3-brains-in-1 (MacClean, 1973). The triune brain is composed of three neural substrates that are represented by the reptilian brain, the paleomammalian brain, and the neomammalian brain. This paper goes into detail how the three different brains work together and independently to make us who we are.

And, so it is addressed in this paper.

Consciousness Physics

These are various worksheets that TD Lingo wrote for our "Advanced Workshops." The central theme was Consciousness Physics, where we defined consciousness and took a scientific role to the study of it. These worksheets were written only for participants of the workshops and in some cases only two copies were made. One for Lingo and one for myself. The reason Lingo did this is that at the time I was pursuing a degree in BS in Neuropsychology, and then a MBS in Artificial Intelligence/Mathematics. Also, I spent an entire winter in a cabin solo with Lingo...he was in a cabin a couple of ravines away. Subsequently, these papers would often times be the subject of our winter fireside chats! Regardless, the material contained within these papers is some of the most important material that I feel he produced.

Consciousness Physics: Framework for Designing Experiments Here are some assumptions, corollaries, and experimental design.
Consciousness Physics: Measurement of Frontal Lobes Perception, cognition, decision making process, and cosmology.
God and Religion This paper was written during Lingo's morning pre-conscious (you will see the note referring to such.) In this paper Lingo puts God within the context of genetic/cosmic intelligence and covers the role of religion in our culture. At the bottom of the page is a little note from TD to the recipients.
Consciousness Physics: The Possibility of CP Discusses the possibility of consciousness physics within Newtonian physics.

Links to Scientific, Neurology, Consciousness, and Philosophy Sites

The various links found on the Brain Link Page will provide the reader with tremendous resources. The emphasis is on the scientific proof of consciousness, and the subsequent philosophy that it generates. The working hypothesis is that the more you know about your brain the more efficient will be your use of it--hence, the neurology links.
