Brain Training

[truthseekercaptain of 100]

Any ideas/thoughts about brain harmonization technologies?

They accompany the training with meditation exercises.

Is this just another new age philosophy or something safe and useful?

Truthseeker, I wouldn't be surprised if it's connected with new age stuff somehow, but I could be wrong. Apparently it's an offshoot of neurofeedback. Is neurofeedback an offshoot of biofeedback, which does have ties with new age? I honestly don't know.

One thing worth considering, though. The founder of Brain State Technologies who came up with this "Brain Training" is in some legal hot water according to a Youtube video. I don't know how much of the video's accusations are true, but it certainly leaves you with the impression that there's something rotten about it. Here's the link to the video:

You have to watch out for terms like this that show its new age intents:

The brain’s ability to regain balance is the key to the world’s transformation into a peaceful and loving planet. When people begin to view the world through the lens of love rather than fear, the world itself becomes a better place. An optimized brain begins to see the potential for an optimized world. Humanity begins to reach for its limitless

This is a very common mantra within the new age of trnasformation and seeing the world through Love. Quantium Mechanic or Quantum Pysics are areas that have gotten twisted by the new agers. Not all of it is bad but there is a growing group of "scientists" that try to prove their occult ideas via science. It is called New Science. Typical scientists refute the New science as pretty much garbage. But it is becoming more and more popular. Deepak Chopra is one that promotes such "scientific" ideas where other scientist say what his says is absoulte misrepresentation and very bad science.


There are sooo many of these kinds of things out there it is hard to keep track of them all. I have glaced at there site and found the above quote to be exactly a new age statement, so for me this group would fall into that catagory. Mediation in general is an area that the new age has the market on. Our Church actually came out very hard against Hypnotism. I will find the quotes if anyone is interested. Many of the forms of mediation are very hypnotic and cause one to go into an altered state of consciousness. Which is not good. It is ok to just relax, stop your mind from racing, take a few deep breaths and calm yourself down, but that is far different than what these kind of people teach. They teach the Unlimited powerful brain. They claim that they can do anything including not age if they just use the brain right. There is truth that stress can be unhealthy but they take it past that basic idea and take it into self-empowerment and say we have powers of manifestation.

I will have to study this group out more, but at first glance terms and statements,, goals are new age. Just for the fact that they are basically reprograming someones brain via Meditation is not good. That is how mediums become mediums. They use meditation to reach these altered states of consciousness to beable to communicate with spirit guides (demons)
