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 cyberneticists! 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. Below are thousands of links that will increase your knowledge base and help answer questions while on your sojourn.
