too-open-minded

Here is a concept that I'm really trying to wrap my head around.

If the big bang started from a singularity and then just began to expand, with everything in the universe still expanding. How can see still see the cosmic microwave background radiation? Wouldn't it of have dissipated with the universal expansion rather than congregate back to earlier locations of the universe?

I'm guessing that I am just misunderstanding something, please help.

Well what I am really trying to do is devise a curriculum for general groups of people from ages 3-16.

You guys are helping me more than you know. If you've seen my related posts to this subject then you know what you're helping me with. So Inow, what are some training methods and examples or practice you can give me for this?

Thankyou guys very much! hopefully this will change my friends mind and I can change him from people who try and spread paranoia and propaganda. I really dislike that kind of stuff because it makes people who actually try and show cold hard evidence of corruption and pollution, well it makes them look like people such as Alex Jones lol.

Well then please in the name of science! Please discredit all the claims on that list, I am arguing with a good freind who manages a page on facebook that posts this stuff. He listens to Alex Jones..... Please descredit these lol

You guys are right, you can't remove any emotional judgement from our thoughts. I guess emotions in a way, are one of the first building blocks of our complex thoughts.

Well in the context of this thread, do any of you think it is possible through biofeedback/Neurotherapy to change our thoughts by being aware of our subconscious?

​Is it possible for our thoughts to actively effect our emotions or state of mind, which in turn will make our thoughts more positive/negative?

I had to edit this. Could our short term thoughts impact our longterm brain activity? Thoughts as in cognitive function in the sense that their is a realization and understanding of the subconscious brain interpretting it's environment, the hows and why of that. Could these short term thoughts, effect brain activity in the sense that if you can recognize yourself getting anxious or agitated, that you can focus your thoughts more positively and calmly? Changing your negative thoughts to positive and then after different intervals of time seeing if it effects your normal brain activity under less variable'd circumstances?

Is this all true?

Well to be honest, I like the way you put it. In a way, thoughts are a collaboration of different emotions but also they are not just emotions. They are involved with interpretations of environment, processes of related and past experiences, and maybe a few other variables. Don't you think thoughts are a little more influenced than just by emotions?

I believe that our thoughts impact our emotions but ultimately it is the subconscious being our newly evolved senses like emotions that truly cause our complex thoughts. Our emotions are registrations of our environment and our subconscious mind projects emotions for us to sense the world around us and make relative sense of it.

So what do you think? What are thoughts and how do you explain the psychologically?

Something I wrote in reply to a facebook thread that made me want to start this thread - Some of this maybe wrong as my education in psychology is rather shallow.

Our thoughts are secrets of the brain, in a way. For instance, the more positive your thoughts are. The more you use your cerebral cortex than your limbic system. Cortex being responsible for calm, happiness, curiosty, majority of cognitive function. While the limbic system is more primal/fight or flight like anger, fear, sexdrive, anxiety. Whichever part of your brain you use more, tends to be more active and effect your decision making processes. The subconscious is very powerfull and believe it or not impacts you more than your conscious mind. However you can learn to control your subconscious relatively more. Through certain types of therapy or meditation.

Well first off, we need an agenda. With that said, I think reform of the public educational system is a broad subject that can be supported by a large group of people. We need a advocates who want a revolution in Americas public school system.

Which relative to the rest of the world, may not be the best. It is one of the better systems however. So taking the approach of gathering the general public or even a descant sized statistic of people would be a rigorous task.

Not impossible, but realistically not very likely to happen. Especially in the context of our countries current economy.

To be realistic about a program like the one I am talking about, it would have to start off as a privatized one. Something only the upper class can afford.

But how do we start a private program and what would the curriculum be and how can we possibly know Biofeedback/Neurotherapy would even help in education? This is where my paper comes in, I'll try and correlate what Neurofeedback has done for Autism, high anxiety disorders, and other mental abnormalities with what it could do for the average child.

Honestly, if we value our educators like we do our doctors or lawyers. I think kids would love their teachers, love education, love the environment. I think school should captivate a childs imagination and interests. We could literally make education be the safe haven for abused children. Mind you a educational reform like the one i'm talking about, would consider all children abused in one way or another. From psychological, to physically, to just ill parenting. Abused in the sense that they need a better system.

Lets stop all the hypothetical talk though, you guys wanna know how I think we can get this done?

What I wanna know is, how the hell did the singularity form?

Teaching children about abuse, that's one thing. A good idea mind you, although theirs so many variables. Would the child want to get HRS involved, talk about their dark experiences, tell on someone they fear?

I think their should be programs that recognize abused children, because so many public school teachers notice the hints but do nothing. They don't really have much to do about it though with our current system. However children being abused doesn't only happen because people want to abuse children although some do. Mostly down to the root of it, the problem stems from social problems. Much like gun control and abortion, you can outlaw guns or abortions but the problem to cause those issues to arise is still in the air.

I think educational reform in the sense of making school enjoyable for children, building their self esteem, and teaching them about biofeedback/neurofeedback/neurotherapy/being able to recognize their subconscious would have a massive impact on their psyche. Enough of an impact to make a more positive generation, who would parent a more positive generation. Kind of like a snowball effect.

Thankyou very much! You have all been much help.

My argument isn't that I think it is ignorant to think that. That is my opinion, you wanna hear my argument? Show me your evidence.

Yeah our government is all kinds of screwed up, it's become monopolized in a way. Money runs the world, our current system allows for major technological and population growth. It's not perfect, corrupt as hell in the sense of it be dominated by currency. I think it will blow up in our faces, like Carl Sagan said. Then we'll learn our damn lessons and build a stronger less corruptible system that isn't ran by only holding wealth, producing, and consuming.

I'll tell you first hand experience, as a child I grew up with drug addicted parents. My father was murdered by my moms drug dealer, right after I turned five. He sobered up and couldn't get her to. I've been abused, molested, and been through all sorts of things a child should never have to endure. I'm not looking for a simple one cure all thing. Just educational reform.

This wouldn't aim to just make children happy, but make them enjoy school, build their self esteem, and teach them to recognize their subconscious.

So if we implement biofeedback, neurofeedback, neurotherapy, etc. Similar like programs into elemntary schools. Teach younger people about their cortex, limbic system, brains parts and more importantley what they do, how they effect us, and how we can consciously control our subconscious.

Could we hypothetically see a more cognitive adult/next generation?

For instance if after ages 3-7 from much therapy on teaching children to build their own self esteem and not focus on depression, anxiety, and anger. Could we notice a different in brain activity from different areas compared to someone who never had that therapy?

Thankyou very much Ringer.

Do you have any example papers or formatting that I could follow?

Not really because I believe it's kind of ignorant to think that the government would conspire such a tragedy. Unless anyone has any evidence to prove the government did it.

Is Russia today a real news network?

http://rt.com/

I'm seeing videos like http://rt.com/shows/the-truthseeker/operation-gladio-usa-terrorism-565/

I'm thinking WTF!?!? After i just saw this lol. I'm pretty sure it is some bs website, I think anybody who says 9/11 was a conspiracy is a nut.

Well i'm gonna go ahead and write a paper that has related experiments and data, facts, precise terminology, correlate all of that, and then project it into how my hypothesized experiments would produce their data.

Unless any of you can point me in a better direction, that's the first route I am going to take.

Well guys i'm an amateur, only in my first year of college and have no clue where to begin with this.

What direction should I go in? How do I start this off?

I've developed experiments but sadly I have no resources to conduct them :/

My best bet right now is finding similar experiments and arguing through gathered data, correlations, and logic. The way I see it. So where do I begin?

My research is in psychology and neurology or more specifically neurotherapy/neurofeedback.

I'm not expecting to write a research paper that will be written one time and be accepted because I think I'm right.I'm expecting to write a rough draft and have it ran through a crucible of people to point out the errors and flaws.

But yes my research is in psychology and neurology, I want to write a research paper and begin the path to developing my hypothesis. I have done a good bit of work, in the sense of educating myself in terminology, past research, and where/what these fields are working on today that I can contrast with my hypothesis.

basically I feel like I have all the information, I just need to know how to format and organize it for other people to read. I'm a very unorganized person so this is going to be a challenge lol.

So as an amateur only working on a general associates degree, how would I go about trying to make a well constructed hypothesis and or publishable paper?

I'm guessing my first steps are to write a research paper?

This is the best advice on formatting that I have found - http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Research-Paper

Advice on how to do this? Please and thankyou!

Well in the book I am writing a third, fourth, fifth, and etc. Species is the agenda of the main species in the story. To procreate the universe with an abundance of life, in the hopes that different species with different perspectives could yield new scientific discoveries.
