The Premier Review of The Brain Evolution System
It's been called "the most powerful self-development
technology on earth", but are these brain entrainment CDs
really as incredible as everyone makes out? Follow me as I
road test the BrainEV system!
What is the Brain Evolution
System? That's what I was wondering
when I first heard about them. When I looked into it, I
discovered the world of brain entrainment. Now brain
entrainment is a way of using sounds to influence the
brain to behave in certain specific ways. The best way
to think of it is using the analogy of a tuning fork.
With a tuning fork you can tune an instrument to make
perfect notes. With the BrainEV system, you 'tune' the
brain to the best states of mind for creativity, genius,
health and well-being, simply by listening to a CD for
30 minutes a day. There are progressive levels of brain
training or entraining, so over a 6 month period you can
teach your brain to function at the highest levels known
to mankind!
Here's my on-going review of my experiences with The Brain
Evolution System. Read along, and if you like what you

journey?
BRAIN EVOLUTION SYSTEM REVIEW
Daily user account by Richard Regal
Day
1: 26-10-2008 "The Velvet
Mind"
Found myself to be incredibly resistant and
judgemental to start with. This continued for 10 to 15
minutes. Then I found myself melting into it. At
first, I became aware of a small cylinder of inner
stillness and emptiness within the centre of my
mind/being, with all the activity and noise of
thoughts and the audio track at the periphery. Then I
felt like a cloak of velvet settled over my
mind and sank down through me, until I
became very still with a cavernous sense of inner
space and serenity.
Day
2: 27-10-2008 "UFO Inner
Space"
Woke up 40 minutes early and listened to
BrainEV track 1 for second day. Drifted around mentally for
10-15 minutes and then noticed that I had
completely relaxed physically and
mentally. The experience was of my inner spatial
awareness having ballooned out like a big partially
flattened sphere around me stretching off into the
distance. That's the best way I can describe it -- kind of
like being in a giant flying saucer cave
shape.
Got up, did my work-out, then was outside
doing sprints along the driveway and began getting a flood
of ideas for articles and software products. Was really
pleased as these just bubbled up and I really liked the
concepts. No struggle involved for a change!
Day
3: 28-10-2008 "Misfire! Very Focused
tho'!"
Made the mistake of trying to repeat
yesterday's early morning successful session -- even though
I woke up achey and really needed to get up. Didn't really
gel with the listening session. That said, looking back on
it, I've been really focused at work this
morning.
Day
4: 29-10-2008 "The Dead
Dog's Goodbye Bark"
Didn't listen to The Brain Evolution System
CD 1 until the evening. Lay in darkened bedroom and put the
headphones on. Had just received some sad news. My parents
had to have "Butch", their sweetheart boxer dog, put down
today. He'd been taken to the vets with what they thought
was a cough, and an X-ray revealed a massive inoperable
tumour in his lungs.
Settled down with the brain entrainment CD
playing and my agitation soon subsided. I began to think
about "Butch" the dog, and sensed him there before me.
Imagined reaching out and stroking him on the ears. Felt a
real connection, and instead of sadness felt a strong
powerful feeling of Love and
gratitude and acceptance. Said a blessing and
prayer, and imagined some of the other dogs we've had in
our lives that have passed on coming to guide "Butch" into
the light. It was comforting and uplifting. After about 15
minutes of listening, all tension in my body just seemed to
have dropped away and I felt flattened out and
expansive.
Day
5: 30-10-2008 "Energy
Being"
Listened to the BrainEV CD in the morning,
sitting in meditation. I combined listening to it with
doing the hand mudra for abundance and prosperity. The
phrase 'gratefully receiving' popped into my mind, and
I felt like I was resonating as a rich person not as
someone trying to become rich. This is a critical
difference in the manifestation process.
Energetically, I became strongly aware of the energy
within me, and noticed that it seems to have no
location in space other than 'right here'. In other
words, the feeling in my feet is occupying the same
space as the feeling of energy in my head or hands.
Obviously, consciously, I retain a sense of where my
feet, head and hands are.
With my awareness flicking between being
conscious of the non-locational space and my positional
body parts, I entered an altered state of
consciousness in which my body felt really
short like a baby or a dwarf, and yet almost as though it
sat on the front of this huge sphere of energy. Very odd.
Towards the last minute of the CD, my head began nodding
very slightly as energy pulsed and swirled up my spine.
Very subtle but impressive sign.
Day
6: 31-10-2008
"Relaxing Into The
Flow"
Sat in the car in the evening waiting
for my son to finish karate. Put the Brain Evolution
System CD 1 on and, with ear phones in place, settled
back for 25 minutes of bliss. It's a nice way to finish
off and let go of the day. We'd been late getting to
his class so I was a bit tense from driving fast.
Within minutes I melted into it, oblivious to the
activity of cars arriving and leaving in the dark
leisure centre car park. At first, my mind was kind of
busy, thinking and imagining new business flowing my
way. As the session progressed, I dropped all that and
tried to get 'out of the way' of the sound. Just
letting the bubbling, burbling stream flow through the
space which was me. After the sound trailed off at the
end, I remained in meditation gliding on the after
currents of the relaxing state of mind I was
in...
Day
7: 01-11-2008
Rest day. BrainEV advises you take a day off on day 7. I
had wanted to use it anyway but got caught up in following
up on idea for new website. Seem to be much more productive
this week.
Day
8: 02-11-2008 "Spontaneous
Ideas!"
Good night's sleep. Got up early to catch soccer highlights
repeat on TV. Then sat in meditation with track 1 of Brain
Evolution System. First, my mind was still marvelling about
the bionic throw-ins of UK soccer player Rory Delap.
Gradually I returned my attention to the sound track, and
it was as though a stone dropped right through the middle
of me, and my awareness followed it, going deep down into
the centre of my being to a place of stillness and
serenity. I got several article ideas come bubbling
up in my mind. The odd thing was the stillness and
creative mental activity were occurring simultaneously. It
occurred to me that I was in the perfect mindstate for
contemplation -- mulling over ideas and musing. Love
that state! It's so deep!
Day
9: 03-11-2008
"So relaxed, vision
improved!"
After a late afternoon session of Matt
Furey-style exercises followed by 10x100 metre
sprints, settled down in my office chair for day
9's session, of Level 1 (called
Transendence) of The
Brain Evolution System. I've been highly
productive today. Not sure if that is down to the
brain entrainment CD or to the season. Certainly I
am glad to be out of the long rut that I got into
in the summer where I just had no real interest in
working!
During the session, I got the same
spheroid sense of space within as I plunged into
relaxation, this was more of a complete sphere than the
flattened UFO shape experienced previously. I noticed a
sort of feeling of warm
recognition as the audio track started up
with the bubbling stream sounds, rather like the
feeling you get when you spot an old friend in a crowd
of strangers. Yay, someone I know and
like! Seems kind of weird to be saying that
about an audio track but there you go! I guess, I'm
getting to really like and look forward to my session
with BrainEV.
I got up fairly quickly and went into
the kitchen to prepare kitchen and noticed that my
vision was really clear and improved. That's a sign
that I was in deep relaxation and really let go of all
tension...
Day
10: 04-11-2008 "Deeply
Centred"
Was
late to bed, and up early this morning, so by
midday felt 'knackered'! Sat down with my
headphones on and was thinking about how tired I
was. After the BrainEV track had been playing for a
while, my mind started
drifting.
I
found myself musing about Obama as President (don't
know results yet)... this seagued somehow into an
awareness of my energy field, cone-like around me.
I felt like a tree, a tall, stately conifer, with
energy streaming to fullness around
me. Deeply centering
experience...
Accidentally terminated the
session early when my hand slipped off my knee and
knocked against the stop button on the CD player
beside me!
Got up
and stood with eyes closed, holding my hands in the
wealth mudra pose (for further info
see finger healing
). Remained in
standing meditation, thinking throughs of
gratitude and acceptance, and felt so still
and strong and resonant with the presence of
the moment. Suddenly remembered that I had
been so tired before.
Conclusion?
Brain Evolution
System definitely increases
ENERGY!!!
Feel
really primed and in the zone! Also,
super-confident about finances (which is always a
good thing... particularly
nowadays!!).
Day
11: 05-11-2008 "Lying down
versus sitting
up"
After another 5 hour sleep
night, worked brightly through to lunchtime but
then started to feel a little weary. Lay down
on the floor of my office, and put on the
Transdendence CD (that's Level 1 of the Brain
Evolution System). About 13 minutes in, just as
I was really spacing out in a deeply relaxed
place, someone knocked on the door. I ignored
them and they went away. But then the batteries
on my CD player conked out at 14 minutes. I was
damned if I was going to quit there, so I
replaced the batteries and started all over
again.
My brain seemed more active in
the second session. Don't know if that was
the caffeine kicking in from the
Acuity supplement
I had taken before I lay down. (You get
two months supply of
Acuity capsules free when
you order the Brain EV
System. This brain food supplement
'enhances clarity, mind power and
focus'.)
It could also have been the
position. If you are into meditation, you will
know that it is a lot harder to meditate lying
down, than sitting up. Somehow as soon as you
lie down it triggers your subconscious mind.
Some research (here), from the
Australian National University, suggests
that you are more creative lying down than
standing. The suggestion is that there is a
lowering of the amount of noradrenaline in
your system when you lie down. I think of it
like this... when you lie down, your
dreaming, creative mind kicks
in...
After the session ended, I stood
up and thought about some of the things that I
want to manifest, then just stood in an
attitude of gratitude. I became aware that
despite the thought activity while I was lying
down listening to Transcendence, my
energy field was really still and poised. I had
what I can only describe as a "velvety smooth"
consciousness, as though everything was ironed
out and now in alignment. All tiredness had
once again totally disappeared
too!
Day
12: 06-11-2008 "Keys to
Being"
Today's session with the
Brain Evolution System was an
early-morning, sit-down, cross-legged
meditation. I began by counting backwards
down from 25, telling myself to relax
deeper with each number. I was keen to get
into the experience as quickly as possible.
By the time I reached zero, I was slumped
over in complete relaxation. I then
imagined a hot-air balloon with a string
below it tied to the top of my head. As the
ballloon went up, I straightened up into
perfect posture but still nice and relaxed.
To make sure, I mentally went to each body
part from the top of my head down to my
toes, telling each to relax even deeper.
Next I shifted my focus to my breathing,
trying to make it smooth and soft. Allowing
my consciousness to travel along with it,
as easily as the bubbling water sounds of
the stream, playing in my ear. There are
100 separate tracks fused into each of the
6 audios that make up BrainEV -- The Brain
Evolution System. This little bit of
prepatory work only took about 5 minutes to
do, but by the end of it I was sitting
there in complete relaxation, completely
connected up with myself, in a
state of Beingness.
Sat there, allowing this to
continue, and various ideas for articles
and marketing bubbled up into my mind. A
great session.
Note to
self: Make sure you keep a note
pad next to you when you use the Brain
Evolution System materials. Get you ideas
down on paper as soon as you open your eyes
at the end of the session! Reason? This
thing causes so many ideas to come up that
it is easy to forget them if you walk off
and then try and recall them
later.
Day 13:
07-11-2008
Hey, what's up? I had
another car-park session this evening,
sitting in my car, listening to
Transcendence, while waiting
for my son to finish his Karate lesson.
How did it go? I went nice and deep
into it very quickly. Found myself
thinking about an email friend from
India who I am helping process some
psychic phenomena she's experiencing.
This lead to a real sense of deep
confidence in my
intuition. I felt
connected and resonantly empathetic to
other people... a universal
consciousness if you
like.
Reflecting back on it,
the striking thing about it was it's
complete ordinariness...it felt so
natural. As the BrainEV sounds trailed
off and finished, I remained in
meditation. I strongly recommend this
when you are using BrainEV. Give
yourself time to soak in the currents
created by the brain entrainment
technology embedded within the nature
sounds on BrainEV. What I notice is how
profoundly
still my core being is
after listening to the CD. There can
still be flutterings of thought, but
these are like little birds squawking
in a vast blue sky. The sense of
immensity is what strikes you. So, make
sure you let your meditation continue
for a few minutes after the audio track
ends. It has put you into an optimum
state of consciousness -- so you should
make use of it rather than getting up
and running straight off into your
daily life. Just give yourself a few
moments to reflect on where you are in
consciousness...
Day 14:

Rest day. Saturday's
are a bit hectic anyway. Had
bonfire and fireworks this
evening!
Day 15:

"Feeling
Resonant"
Brain Evolution
System has kept me going
for 2 weeks. Today's
session saw me sitting
down cross-legged after
lunch, donning the ear
phones and disappearing
into the psycho-acoustic
symmetries of
Transcendence for
the thirteenth time (2
rest days,
remember?).
Observation: some
sessions, my mind seems
more active and stirred up
than others when
meditating. The crucial
difference between regular
meditation and meditation
with BrainEV is that
regardless of the level of
mental static (inner
chatter / noisy thoughts),
your brain is harmonized
by a Brain Evolution
session.
Normally, when
you are meditating, the
idea is to focus on your
mantra, your breath, or
whatever thing you are
concentrating on, or upon
your mind if you are
expanding your awareness.
But when your thoughts
drift off, you completely
get off track and lose
your concentration or
awareness. With BrainEV
this doesn't seem to
matter as much, because
the greater part of your
brain is still being
entrained to whatever
frequencies they layer
into the audio
track.
What happens
subjectively is that the
inner chatter voice seems
diminished in size or
significance during a
BrainEV session. It seems
to become submerged in and
surrounded by a resonant
state of Being, a
vast sea of silence and
tranquility. At
least, that is how I
experienced it today. Even
now, sitting in my office
chair, making these notes,
the undercurrent of my
consciousness is still
'ringing' with a sense of
stillness, poise and
presence.

"Getting Beyond
ME!"
Midday
meditation session
with Brain Evolution
System level 1. At
first, I was doing all
kinds of relaxation
exercises and things
to deepen my
"high-tech
meditation", but then
I recognised that the
tension I most needed
to let go of was my
own egoic need to
control the
session.
So I just sat
back and listened to
the track, and rode
the sounds into a
space of serenity and
stillness. Very
relaxing. I feel too
still to wish to add
anything else to that.
I feel...
complete, unified,
whole.

"Vengeful Feelings
Resolved"
A 9PM
session, following
receiving some
news by email of
an associate
trying to cheat me
out of monies
owed. The first
ten minutes of
this Brain EV
session, I found
myself in an
intensely focused
state. Only
trouble was I was
focused on
revenge! I must
say that the Brain
Evolution System
track made a
marvellous
stimulant and
background to my
'Dr Evil'
plotting!
I came up
with loads of
ideas of
how to get back at
my 'enemy' and
make him regret
his actions
towards me!
Fortunately,
in the second 10
minutes of
BrainEV, I became
more
detached
and
cool-minded.
I switched my
attention to
actually looking
at my vengeful
feelings and
studying them with
calm detachment.
In the light of
awareness, the
angry energy
dissipated like
stream vapours
melting into the
air. I felt
bemused and amused
by my
anger.
In the
last 8 minutes or
so of the session,
the stream of
'conscious'
thoughts seemed
like flotsam on
the surface of the
deep sea. This was
the deep sea of
mind.
What
seems to happen
with Brain
Evolution System
level 1 is that it
moves your
point of attention
from the narrow
mind to the broad
mind.
From the little
picture to the big
picture. From
fearful thinking
to intuitive wise
thinking. It's
hard to describe.
The nearest I can
get to it is the
sense of expanding
into the fullness
of who you really
are, and who you
are meant to
be...

"Mind Like An Eel
On A
Hook"
Having
peacefully
resolved my
issues with
the person
mentioned
yesterday, sat
down to listen
to BrainEV
level 1 at
1.30PM today.
Felt a bit
irritated and
annoyed at
'having to' do
this Brain
Evolution
System session
every day. My
mind felt a
bit like an
eel on a hook,
wriggling
every which
way to get
off. Yet,
there
underneath all
these
machinations,
I felt
anchored by
the track and
letting go,
put my
attention upon
it. Opened up
inside as the
inner silence
deepened and
carved its way
into me, past
all the
surface mind
noise. Visual
images started
popping up in
great clarity.
I was tempted
to try and
turn that into
proper
visualization
of goals, but
I just let it
go and
returned to
the
peacefulness.
Session was
interrupted
abruptly
towards the
end, and I had
to get up and
respond to an
urgent email.
No problem.
Felt cool and
calm...
Days
19-20-21-22:
16-11-2008 "Road
Trips"
I was away for
these four days but
I loaded
Transcendence onto
my iPod and took
BrainEV along for
the ride. Perhaps
that should be the
other way around
because after full
days of sight
seeing and hiking,
I was listening to
the Brain Evolution
System level 1 last
thing at night,
going to sleep with
it on. What I
experienced was
deep,
sudden
relaxation,
vivid mental
imagery replaying
scenes of things
and places I had
seen in the day.
One day I had been
in ancient temple,
and during that
nights session, it
was as though I was
in that temple
again, only it was
really huge and I
had a sense of
great space around
me. The imagery had
such a clarity to
it... rather like
you get first thing
in the morning
after a heavy storm
the night before,
you know? I slept
like a log each of
the nights... I
can't really put
that down to
BrainEv alone
though as I was
just physically
drained each night.
But you know how it
is in hotels,
strange beds,
uncomfortable
pillows, noise from
the hallways, too
hot or too cold,
sometimes you just
can't sleep no
matter how tired
you are. Well,
listening to
BrainEv there was
none of that in my
experience. I slept
deeply and woke up
happy. I just wish
it could cure
blisters too! ;-)
Day 23:
17-11-2008 "Sarah
Silverman is
Singing To
Me"
Late afternoon
session. You know
the drill by now. I
was sat in the car
waiting for Junior.
It was dark
outside. I started
listening to level
1 BrainEV and
immediately dropped
deep into it. I
think it was the
immediate and
incredibly
vivid
imagery that
just grabbed my
attention. I think
I was seeing the
sleeve of a jumper
and my vision kept
ratcheting down
like a telescope
into closer and
closer more focused
close-ups of what I
was looking at. As
it got closer it
got more vivid so
that there was a
tactile 3D
quality and
attention on the
texture of the
material I was
looking at. It was
also vivid color.
Watching all this
in my mind's eye, I
barely noticed how
deeply relaxed I
was getting, until
I became aware that
my head was
hanging, my chin
almost resting on
my chest! Felt very
much at peace.
There were very
spacious moments,
with an
intense
sense of inner
space and
'significance'.
BIZARRE: At
some
point, I
can't
remember
now if it
was at the
beginning,
in the
middle, at
the end or
right
after, I
had Sarah
Silverman's
spoof song
she did
for Jimmy
Kemble's
birthday
(" I'm
f**king
Matt
Damon!")
going
through my
head!
Earlier in
the day, I
had been
on Youtube
watching
Kemble's
revenge
song
(" I'm
f**king
Ben
Affleck!")
and they
referenced
the first
one, which
is
annoyingly
catchy and
both are
hilarious.
I guess
the
relaxation
just
brought up
the
memory!
Anyway, back to the
BrainEV session...
at the end,
I had a
vision of
a vivid gold
mandala with a
bright blue jewel
in the centre. This
had a Persian feel
to it in it's
design, especially
when the jewel
became an Arabic
window in a gold
lacquer wall. The
thing was, again,
it was intensely
real.
Day 24:
18-11-2008 "Any
More Relaxed and
I'd Be
Dead!"
Sat in my office
chair at 5pm and
donned the
earphones, and
settled in to
listening to the
Brain
Evolution
System level
1:
Transcendence.
The room was
dark. And I
was looking
forward to the
session.
Within
moments, I had
gone deep
inside.
I just
completely
spaced
out. I
know I didn't
fall asleep,
but I became
aware that my
head was
slumped on my
chest and I
had a
delicious warm
feeling of
relaxation
throughout my
body. I felt
like I had
somehow
dumped
a ton of
stress I
didn't even
know I had
been holding
onto! It was a
sweet
experience and
I couldn't
help smiling
as the session
drew to a
close and I
opened my
eyes, feeling
pretty damned
great.
Been singing like a
lark all day too.
What's THAT
about? Spontaneously
composing songs
like a wandering
minstrel!! I guess
the lid was
flipped off my
creativity some
time in the last
three weeks!
(Oh and I've been
looking at
something else
today that ties in
nicely with the
brain evolution
system, especially
as it has a similar
name. It's called
The
Super Mind
Evolution
System --
check it out
as they have
some brain
power freebies
and giveaways
that are very
cool.)

"Completely
Zoned!"
I'm
writing
this and
gazing
around the
room in
awe,
checking
out how
clear my
vision
seems to
be after
having the
most
relaxing
BrainEV
session
yet.
I
think I
dropped
off the
face of
the earth
for 30
minutes! Phew,
I can't
tell you
how good
it feels
to deeply
and truly
relax in a
way where
all your
tension -
conscious
and
unconscious
- just
drops
away.
There's
spmething
deliciously
renewing
about
'disappearing'
into that
abyss of
freedom to
re-emerge
stronger,
revitalised
and full
of renewed
hope and
energy.
I've
just for
the first
time gone
to the
Brain
Evolution
System's
customer
support
site and
watched
the video
that
accompanies
Level 1
Transcendence.
It turns
out that
BrainEV
level 1 is
designed
to help
you get
into deep
states of
relaxation
-- which
is just
what has
been
happening
to
me.
On
this
screen cap
from the
video, it
shows the
3
interacting
frequencies
within the
track (3P
D.E.A.P =
3-Point
Dynamic
Entrainment
Audio
Process)
and the
brainwaves
that they
entrain
your brain
to produce
and
experience.
I've
only got
another
few days
to go on
level 1,
and I'm
really
excited to
discover
what Level
2 will do
for me
(and to
me!).
Day
26:
20-11-2008
A
late
BrainEv
session
today. I
lay down
about
8.30pm and
listened
to the
Transcendence track.
Felt a bit
resentful
at
first...
"Not that
bloody
stream
again!"
;-)
However, I
persisted
and
relaxed
into it. I
can't say
that I
noticed
anything
particular
from it
until the
end. My
mind had
been in
freewheeling
mode I
think.
Going
where it
will while
my body
was
relaxed.
Towards
the end of
the track
though I
noticed my
focus sort
of swept
smoothly
up from
it's wide
defocused
state into
a keener
awareness
of the
stillness
and space
in my
mind's
eye. I
just
became
very
present
and...
presenceful.
Felt
completely
unemotional.
No
reaction
whatsoever.
Just
watchfulness
and
stillness,
and this
'resonance'
remains in
the
background
even now.
Odd...
Day

"Trancendent
Experience!"
At
midday,
I
think
I
discovered
the
meaning
behind
the
title
of
BrainEV
Level

Transcendence. I
found
myself
listening
to the
track
and
consciously
letting
go.
First
I let
go of
the
tension
in my
head,
face
and
shoulders.
Then I
noticed
how
even
when
you
are
physically
still
the
mind
can be
doing lots
of
actions.
If,
like
me,
you
have
an
active
imagination
then
you
will
appreciate
how
easily
the
mind
projects
outward,
chasing
up
ideas.
I'm
getting
the
image
of a
gun
dog,
like a
springer
spaniel,
bounding
through
the
reeds,
sniffing
here
and
there,
wildly
excited.
The
mind
is
like
that
-- it
bounces
from
place
to
place
in
pursuit
of
whatever
scent
takes
its
fancy
at
that
moment.
So,
I
started
letting
go of
that.
Letting
go of
any
feeling
of
having
to do
something,
letting
go of
any
sense
of
need
or
want.
And
that's
when
the
Transcendence
happened.
I
found
myself
completely
still
and in
a
state
of
completion.
I went
from
NEEDING and
WANTING to
HAVING and
BEING.
It's
an
extraordinary
feeling,
and I
know
that
it is
an
important
state
to
achieve
in
manifestation and
prayer
work.
I
believe
author
Gregg
Braden
calls
this
the
Zero
Point.
That
seems
an
appropriate
and
convenient
term
to use
for a
state
in
which
you
feel
like
you
have
nowhere
you
need
to go,
nothing
you
need
to be.
A
transcendent
state
in
which
you
transcend
your
normal
workaday
reality.

"AURA
VISION?"
Sat
down
right
after
lunch
for a
go with
the
Brain
Evolution
System.
I had
the
option
of a
rest
day
today,
but I
fancied
another
dose of
meditation.
Might
have
been a
bit too
soon
after a
big
cheese,
tomato,
orange
pepper
and
cucumber
sandwich
for
sitting
in
half-lotus
against
the
wall of
my
office
as I
felt
full in
the
wasitline!
Certainly,
I
didn't
experience
anything
particularly
special
today.
My mind
was
wandering,
my body
was
relaxed,
and I
was
still
afterwards
but
that
was
about
it. I
did
have a
few
seconds
of
seeing
my own
aura when
I
opened
my eyes
after
the
session
ended
-- just
some
flashes
of
electric
blue
colors
around
my
head.

"Gettin'
Me
A
Shrimp
Boat!"
Just
finished
the
penultimate
session
of
level
1
of
the
Brain
Evolution
System.
Embarassingly,
I
got
so
'slack-jawed'
relaxed
that
I
dribbled
on
myself! My
lower
lip
was
drooping
so
much
that
I
must
have
looked
like
Forrest
Gump's
best
friend,
Bubba.
Remember
him?
The
one
who
was
always
going
on
about
getting
himself
a
shrimp
boat
when
he
got
out
of
the
army.
I
must
have
looked
pretty
as
a
picture!
Here's
the
thing
though.
I
am
learning
so
much
about
the
value
of
true
deep
relaxation.
It's
not
just
about
relaxing
your
physical
muscles.
It's
also,
more
profoundly,
about
relaxaing
your
emotional
and
mental
'muscles'
too.
BrainEV
level
1
"Transcendence"
has
been,
for
me,
all
about
letting
go
of
need,
compulsion,
and
desire.
During
a
session,
you
can
achieve
the
spiritual
state
of
being
desireless.
It
might
only
last
for
the
duration
of
the
session,
but
you
at
least
get
to
experience
it.
And
what
does
desirelessness
give
you?
FREEDOM!!!
You
get
to
experience
being
free.
Free
of
the
chains
that
bind
you.
Wanting
and
needing
and
obsessing
over
things...
these
are
all
additional
ways
in
which
we
become
captive.
It's
bad
enough
that
the
world
is
set
up
in
such
a
way
that
most
of
us
have
little
real
liberation.
We
are
molded
and
shaped
by
marketers
and
politicians,
adept
at
sherperding
us
in
specific
directions
that
serve
their
aims.
We
are
imprisoned
by
our
habits.
How
wonderful
then
to
really
let
go
of
all
that!
And
to
experience
a
deeper
state
in
which
your
true
being,
the
expansive
spirit,
gets
some
room
to
shine
in
your
consciousness.
Most
of
the
time
our
minds
are
so
preoccupied
with
earning
a
living,
dealing
with
relationships,
or
reacting
emotionally
to
the
scare
story
of
the
day,
that
this
inner
spirit
rarely
gets
any
'screen
time'
in
your
conscious
mind.
So
we
forget
about
it.
We
forget
our
true
nature.
And
become
identified
with
the
false
avatar
of
the
game
we
play
in
daily
life.
What
does
the
Brain
Evolution
System's
Level
1
track
do?
I
would
say
it
brings
coherence.
Coherence
is
defined
as
a
'logical
and
orderly
and
consistent
relation
of
parts.'
Much
of
the
time
the
brain,
most
peoples
brain,
is
in
a
state
of
chaos.
It's
like
an
LA
riot
in
there!
C'mon,
you
know
it's
true!
My
experience
with
BrainEV
1
is
that
it
brings
order.
It
quells
the
riot.
It
makes
peace
between
the
warring
parties.
Afterwards,
you
feel
clear
headed.
You
feel
like
you
have
been
tuned
up
to
the
point
where
you
can
perform
at
your
best.
Whatever
level
of
performance
that
is,
it's
your
best,
and
that's
the
important
thing.
When
you
put
a
race
car
on
the
track,
whether
its
Nascar
or
Formula
One,
you
tune
the
engine
so
that
its
performance
is
optimized.
BrainEv
does
that
for
your
brain.
Day
30:
24-11-2008
So
here
it
was,
my
final
day
with
Level
1
of
the
Brain
Evolution
System.
The
setting
was
anti-climatic.
My
car,
outside
the
leisure
centre,
on
a
dark
cold
wintry
night.
I
had
an
hour
to
kill.
Slipping
on
my
headphones,
and
reclining
the
drivers
seat
so
I
was
lying
back,
I
entered
the
world
of
Transcendence for
the
last
time.
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
tell
you
that
I
had
some
mind-blowing
experience
to
top
off
my
month
with
BrainEv's
opening
CD.
But
no,
that
didn't
happen.
All
I
know
is
that
I
relaxed
really
deeply,
and
that
the
time
shrank
and
whizzed
by.
I
didn't
fall
asleep,
just
entered
a
place
where
I
was
100%
resting...
And
that,
I
think,
is
what
Transcendence is
all
about...
it's
about
letting
go,
releasing,
transcending
the
stresses
and
strains
of
daily
living
and
plunging
into
an
inner
pool
of
stillness
and
lightness.
That
is
what
this
first
month
with
BrainEv
has
shown
me.
A
technologically-aided
way
to
quickly
and
completely
let
go
of
stress.
A
high-tech
system
of
tuning
my
brain
to
an
optimum
level
of
easy
relaxation.
A
way
to
get
to
experience
liberation
from
false
ideas
about
what
I
need
or
want.
A
chance
to
be
free,
and
experience
the
refined
bliss
of
deep
stillness
and
the
beginnings
of
inner
silence
--
a
union
with
the
deeper
powerful
mind
of
the
genius
within.
