Some thoughts upon investigations done by Dr.John Bargh, Yale's University Psychologist, found at Eduard Punset's book "Viaje al Optimismo"

1. Why making choices based on intuition can be successful?
By David Navarro

2. “Is the intuition a source of knowledge,
as valid as the “logical thinking”?”

3. “Only a small part of our brain structure takes care of the knowledge learned conciously”

4. “the rest, which is almost everything except the neocortex, takes care of the intuitive
unconscious, the knowledge we receive almost imperceptibly, and the emotions”

5. “the conscious part of the brain is very good at
imagining the future based on past experiences”

6. But this needs to be trained, too.
In the childhood, the past and the
future are unknown concepts
which need to be inculcated.

7. The consciuos is not able to understand or even see things
which is not ready to.
Barriers like timings, social prejudgements, fears, needs, make
our conscious to discard/filter many information.

8. The kind of
human values
inculcated in
the childhood
has a heavy
influence on the
filtering criteria
of conscious.

9. By contrast, the unconscious, in a disorderly manner, receives
all the available information, virtually with no filter or barrier.

10. “Only in the
unconscious can be
carried out complex
cognitive processes.”
Is there where the
so-called intuition
appears.

12. “The heart has reasons that
the reason can not understand.
Blaise Pascal”
Children, who have fewer barriers
than adults, are faster to detect
feelings and intentions which are
invisible to adults.

13. “All big decisions are rooted at the information received in the unconscious.
Unknowingly, it influences us and gives us signs and answers.”
How could we take more advantage of this fact?

14. Light up your brain by allowing both sides to
communicate well
And supply the right energy

15. do not let to limit your mind

16. The great difference of being humans, is that each one of us are unique individuals, which
can cooperate with others.
Let not into oblivion what makes you unique,
while working in community with others.

17. Keep feeding it
with good
contents
Water it with
high human
values

18. Remember : Your unconscious, the “heartly part”, will
always “knock you” faster and stronger.

19. Is fully operative while the other sleeps,
and has more information.

20. Expedite the comunication between them.

21. Get rid of mental garbage.

22. Provide your mind with appropiate environment.
A balanced, peaceful mind takes better decisions.
Why? Because then the unconscious is able to “speak” openly to
our conscious, thus a bigger picture of the issue can be exposed
