 The brains of people with high IQ have very efficient wiring, research shows.

The brain’s ‘wiring’ or ‘white matter’ refers to the nerve fibres that transmit information between areas.

White matter is sometimes called the superhighway of the brain: it transmits signals and regulates communication.

People with more efficient white matter, the study found, had greater general knowledge.

General knowledge — or as psychologists call it, crystallised intelligence — is one of two broad aspects of intelligence.

"All great and precious things are lonely,"

SAMUEL HAMILTON a A A I think it's quite possible that phenomenal consciousness arrived relatively late and long after cognitive consciousness was already in place. If that's so, for much of history, our ancestors could have been cognitively conscious but not phenomenally conscious—conscious but insentient. And presumably the same could still be true of many animals today A SRM  To him who is one with that Reality [of Pure Consciousness], there is neither the mind nor its three states, and therefore, neither introversion nor extroversion. (Bhagavān in 'Maharshi's Gospel': book II, ch. VI) A A A Following Ramana's method, if I ask myself 'Who am I?' during meditation, am I not doing the opposite of meditation i.e. contemplating on a thought? ‘Who am I’ was of course central to the teachings of Ramana Maharishi. But we will come to that later. You say ‘Who am I?’ is a thought. We will discuss this first. It is true that this begins as a thought. But, how far can you think? I am a body? No, I ‘have’ a body and not ‘am’ a body. I am a mind? No, it is a flux of thoughts with no independent existence for itself. I am a soul? Ah, that’s an idea, that I can believe, but I really don’t know. I am a name, a degree, a relationship………..? No, those are my attributes or possessions, and not ‘me’. Done in less than two minutes? Now, what else will you be grinding in your mind over years of ‘Who am I’ meditation? If you are reasonably intelligent, you will quickly negate the above answers given by your mind, and begin questioning your awareness from which your mind itself springs out. Now, the mind becomes silent, and ‘Who am I’ happens as ‘awareness non-verbally pondering awareness’ This is the ‘Who am I’ meditation taught by the Maharishi. He called it the direct method. If the direct method is difficult, people can take to other methods like chanting, other kinds of meditation, and so on, and come back to the direct method again in time. This too had been advised by the Maharishi. Best Wishes! sjr A A What the Science Says Scientists conducted a study in 2008 to measure the brain activity of people thinking and feeling gratitude. What they found was "that gratitude causes synchronized activation in multiple brain regions, and lights up parts of the brain’s reward pathways and the hypothalamus. In short, gratitude can boost neurotransmitter serotonin and activate the brain stem to produce dopamine." Dopamine is our brain's pleasure chemical. The more we think positive, grateful thoughts, the healthier and happier we feel. a THURBER - "It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

A magnificent example of art that was apparently inspired by accident may be seen in palaeolithic cave painting. It has often been remarked that the artists who decorated the walls of caves such as Lascaux and Chauvet incorporated existing features of the rock into their paintings of animals. It seems more than likely that the artist, looking at a virgin rock face, saw the head of a horse, the shoulder of a bison, the mane of a lion already prefigured there, and was duly amazed; then he or she carefully applied paint to fix and exaggerate the fleeting impression A NKB  A Historians may assume the inventor ofthe wheel was anadult, butit could have actually beena child a DIOGENES -  "The sun, too, shines into cesspools and is not polluted."
