sleep deprived

So sorry everybody, the tell-yourself-to-wake-up-at-six-and-you-will thing didn't work. I really wanted it to.  I have trouble waking up in the morning so if this worked I was going to be super exited, and maybe even start to believe this guy. Now I have very little faith, but ill keep on reading and see if I can find some more solid facts in it.

Outstanding Differences and Modes of Operation

Here Murphy uses a captain and crew analogy where the captain is the eyes and the crew simply follows his exact instructions. He says your subconscious is the crew and just takes orders from your conscious. So be positive, then your feeding your self good outcomes. I think this is true I feel that bring positive really reflects well on your life but then he loses me with this story.

"Last Christmas Eve a beautiful young university student look at an attractive and rather expensive traveling bag in a store window. She was going home to Buffalo, New York for the holidays. She was about to say I can't afford that bag when she recalled something that she heard of one of my lectures which was "never finish negative statement reverse it immediately. And wonderful things will happen in your life"
She said, "that bag is mine, it is for sale and I accept it mentally, my subconscious sees it that I received it."
At eight o'clock that evening her fiancé gave her the exact bag."

He then proceeds to explain that this was because of her telling her subconscious that this bag was hers. Now I highly doubt that is true I mean it sounds pretty far fetched. I'm not saying that if you shouldn't follow his little never be negative rule I think it's a great idea. However don't expect a Porsche to show in your drive way tomorrow morning because you told yourself it would.

Next he tells a few more stories like this one and summarizes the whole chapter. In this summary Murphy specifically days that if you tell your subconscious mind right before bed to wake you up at six o'clock it will. I am going to put this to the test tonight and let you know if it worked. See you tomorrow morning.

Phoenix

I have a three year old brother named Phoenix. For a while I've been finding it quite odd that he wants to be bigger than everyone, lies blatantly, and believes that pink (along with other things) is for girls and he's a boy so he has to hate it. Now I have no idea how these things came to him, my family certainly doesn't teach him those kinds of things, so how does he get those ideas? He even one time screamed at me for calling him my baby brother because he's a "big boy me no baby!!" What's wrong with being a baby? I don't know but he sure seems to. I don't know how or why we do these things but it seems like it might have to do with the subconscious. Ill look into it and let you know.

I have not recieved any emails back from the professors I have tried to contact, I will send a few more emails and hope to get better results. Wish me luck:)

When u pick a random number is it really random?

I was watching an episode of White Collar, it's a really good show one of my favorites, and the main character mentioned some thing about things never really being random and our subconscious minds always being at work. Of course this caught my attention and really interested me so i did some digging. When some one asks you to pick a random number can it really be random? Can a number even be random or can only a sequence be random? Well I'm not sure so we'll look at both. First up just the number, so when you look at it, any number can be random if it is standing on its own, but it isn't because we make connections to every thing. If you hear the number 7 you'll almost always automatically think of something like that being the age of your cousin or your best friend from childhoods favorite number. Our brains make connections and if you're reading this you've been alive enough to some how make a connection with almost any "random" number. Now moving on to the sequence, when you ask most people to pick a random string of numbers it will sound something like 4, 27, 83, 11, 92 not like 6, 75790555567888764349000075322456456291689.35678905421235667888532355677312466789954, -11123344555, 4008, 1 1/5 right? Whether this is because of familiarity or laziness I don't know, but the second sequence was all numbers, we just don't think about fractions and negatives and decimals and the fact that numbers are INFINITE. We would need to use some pretty huge numbers to be completely random. But isn't it random to just use 6, 10, 4, 3, and 18? I mean really what is random? Here dictionary.com's definition
1.
proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern

So it would need to have no aim, reason, or pattern? That would be kinda hard to do considering everything we do has an aim, reason, or pattern! And with numbers there are so many freaking patterns it would take you forever to find a sequence of numbers with no pattern! How "random" could it be if you had to meticulously figure it out? Is nature random? cause there are patterns in it EVERYWHERE. And if nature isn't random then we sure as heck aren't. So yeah our amazing subconscious is always pattern forming and working its little butt off to make sure we can't pick completely random numbers. Good luck next time you pick your "random" PIN number:)

P.S. if you read that huge decimal number their I give major props
