FIRE IN THE BRAIN, How the Mind Creates Illusions We Believe, Professor Ronald Siegel

Excerpt from one of the most insightful and revealing studies of how the brain can so easily be tricked into believing something is real when indeed it is the result of a neural confusion.
Wonderful work by the distinguished professor from UCLA. Excerpt from his book, FIRE IN THE BRAIN.

Wow! I think about the reports of internal visions of R.S. meditations. Thanks David Lane.

The back ground noise is a distraction. Otherwise stories are very entertaining.

What's your favorite idea?
Mine is being creative
How do you get the idea?
I just try to think creatively
Now when you look at this orange tell me please, what do you see?
It's just a boring old orange
Maybe to you, but not to me
I see a silly face walking along and smiling at me
I don't see what you mean
'Cause you're not thinking creatively
So take a look at my hair (cool)
I use my hair to express myself
That sounds really boring
I use my hair to express myself
Now, when you stare at the clouds in the sky, don't you find it exciting?
No
Come on, take another look (Oh wait)
I can see a hat, I can see a cat
I can see a man with a baseball bat
I can see a dog, I can see a frog
I can see a ladder leaning on a log
Think you're getting the hang of it now
Using your minds to have a good time
I might paint a picture of a clown
Whoa there friend, you might need to slow down
Here's another good tip (Yeah?) of how to be a creative wiz kid
Go and collect some leaves and sticks and arrange them into your favorite color
Blue, Red, Green
Green is not a creative color
There's one more thing that you need to know before you let your creativety flow
Listen to your heart, listen to the rain
listen to the voices in your brain
Come on guys, let's get creative
Now let's all agree to never be creative again
