THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES & SEEING WHAT IS BUSH’S BRAIN DOING???

I watched as much of the last Presidential debate as I could stomach, even on the tiny browser window of the New York Times live video feed I was watching (4:00 am in somewhere in Western Europe) some thing became completely obvious...... Bush was listening to something, listening intently even sometimes as he spoke, and especially when he was first to answer the question. Importantly. anyone can see this for themselves beyond any doubt, please let me explain.

Any NLP (Neurolinguistic Programing) practitioner or any Therapist worth their salt, or for that matter any half decent Sales person, will tell you that the movement of someone eyes shows what there brain is doing. In NLP it is known as “eye accessing cues” http://www.nlpu.com/Articles/artic14.htm (also see references below). http://www.nlp-now.co.uk/nlp_eye_accessing_cues.htm

This has been studied and proven and written about in many many Scientific Journals, and considered common knowledge for any professional dealing day to day with the idiosyncrasies of human behavior. Movement of the eyes down ant to the left is commonly known as auditory digital that is, internal dialogue, inner self talk or intent listening.

Think of it this way, some one is having a casual conversation on a mobile phone and they look around but you can see that some of there attention is with there listening. The conversation gets serious, the head goes down and the eyes look down and usually a little to the left when they are concentrating on listening, it’s as if to block out all other input, such as visual input, to understand what they are hearing better.

This is exactly what Bush was doing looking down and a little to the left immediately after a question was asked and at that stage his words where halting and uncertain because he’s still listening, then a kind of glassy eyed stare to the side of the camera as he puts it together still talking by wrote from the coaching and if he thinks he’s got it suddenly he’s making contact with the camera and facilitator and speaking for himself.

He’s obviously done a lot of this because he’s good at faking the communication, but the eye movements give it away beyond any doubt. These eye movements show how the brain is processing information at any moment, you can do the experiment, ask someone to listen very carefully to a song or sound your about to play for the them and watch there eyes.

Don’t be mistaken this can’t be faked , the movement of the eyes always shows what is going on in the brain. If you do try to fake it it looks strained and weird (would explain a lot about GWB) and you know that there is something hidden going on!

The point about all of this is... first of all he’s deceiving the American (and Worlds) people by presenting himself as an able debater when he’s not.... Secondly he’s obviously highly practiced in this type of deception, ie he’s a good (actually world class) liar. Thirdly he is unable to put together any sound argument on the issues by himself or to think originally when it’s urgently required (we’ve seen this before), not good credentials for a world leader with access to so much power (think of it as being like putting an idiot relative in charge of a heavy machinery) In summary we have an idiot, liar being controlled by someone more intelligent running a good part of the globe for reasons we don’t know about.

The really interesting thing about this is.. this kind of evidence doesn’t need any kind of external authority to ratify it, people can check for themselves read the data and look at the video, and you will see with different wiser eyes. Tell everyone!

Feel free to copy disseminate or quote this writing in any way, do not however misrepresent it dishonestly, condemn it out of hand or butcher any of it’s content in any way, or I guarantee that the divine spirit of truth will reek it’s karmic revenge on you with your dying breath (or quite possibly before that). Just be content to criticize the grammar and amateurish sentence construction and feel free to use any spelling mistakes to make yourself feel superior. kalki_blog (at) yahoo.com

Basic NLP Eye Accessing Cues

As a result of these studies, and many hours of observations of people from different cultures and racial backgrounds from all over the world, the following eye movement patterns were identified (Dilts, 1976, 1977; Grinder, DeLozier and Bandler, 1977; Bandler and Grinder, 1979; Dilts, Grinder, Bandler and DeLozier, 1980):

Eyes Up and Left: Non-dominant hemisphere visualization - i.e., remembered imagery (Vr). Eyes Up and Right: Dominant hemisphere visualization - i.e., constructed imagery and visual fantasy (Vc). Eyes Lateral Left: Non-dominant hemisphere auditory processing - i.e., remembered sounds, words, and "tape loops" (Ar) and tonal discrimination. Eyes Lateral Right: Dominant hemisphere auditory processing - i.e., remembered sounds and words (Ac) and "tape loops" (such as nursery rhymes), as well as tonal discrimination. Eyes Down and Left: Internal dialogue, or inner self-talk (Ad). Eyes Down and Right: Feelings, both tactile and visceral (K). Eyes Straight Ahead, but Defocused or Dilated: Quick access of almost any sensory information; but usually visual.

This pattern appears to be constant for right handed people throughout the human race (with the possible exception of the Basques, whose population appears to contain a fair number of ’exceptions to the rule’). Subsequent studies (Loiselle, 1985 and Buckner, Reese and Reese, 1987) have supported the NLP claim that eye movements both reflect and influence key cognitive componants of thought. Many left handed people, however, tend to be reversed from left to right. That is, their eye accessing cues are the mirror image of those of the average right hander. They look down and left for feelings, instead of down and right. Similarly, they look up and to the right to remember visual imagery, instead of up and to the left, and so on. A small number of people (including ambidextrous and a few right handed people) will be reversed in their some of their eye accessing cues (their visual eye movements, for example), but not the others.

To explore the relationship between eye movements and thinking for yourself, find a partner, ask the following questions, and observe his or her eye movements. For each question keep track of your partner’s eye movements in one of the boxes (following the questions below) by using marks, lines or numbers that represent the sequence of positions you observe.

1. Visual Remembered: Think of the color of your car. What kind of pattern is on your bedspread? Think of the last time you saw someone running. Who were the first five people you saw this morning? 2. Visual Construction: Imagine an outline of yourself as you might look from six feet above us and see it turning into a city skyline. Can you imagine the top half of a toy dog on the bottom half of a green hippopotamus? 3. Auditory Remembered: Can you think of one of your favorite songs? Think of the sound of clapping. How does your car’s engine sound? 4. Auditory Constructed: Imagine the sound of a train’s whistle changing into the sound of pages turning. Can you hear the sound of a saxophone and the sound of your mother’s voice at the same time? 5. Auditory Digital (Internal Self Talk): Take a moment and listen to the sound of your own inner voice. How do you know it is your voice? In what types of situations do you talk to yourself the most? Think of the kinds of things that you say to yourself most often. 6. Kinesthetic Remembered: (Tactile) When was the last time you felt really wet? Imagine the feelings of snow in your hands. What does a pine cone feel like? When was the last time you touched a hot cooking utensil? (Visceral/Emotional) Can you think of a time you felt satisfied about something you completed? Think of what it feels like to be exhausted. When was the last time you felt impatient? 7. Kinesthetic Construction: (Tactile) Imagine the feelings of stickiness turning into the feelings of sand shifting between your fingers. Imagine the feelings of dog’s fur turning into the feelings of soft butter. (Visceral/Emotional) Imagine the feelings of frustration turning into the feeling of being really motivated to do something. Imagine the feeling of being bored turning into feeling silly about feeling bored.

It is important to keep in mind, as you are observing and tracking eye movements, that many people will already have habitual eye movements, related to their primary representational modality. A highly visual person may tend to look up and to the left or right, regardless of which sensory modality is assumed by your question. If you ask such a person to think of his or her "favorite song," the person may visualize the cover of the record, tape or CD in order to remember the name of the song. A kinesthetically oriented person may look down and check his or her feelings to determine how he or she feels about several songs in order to know which one is his or her "favorite." Thus it is important to ask people what they actually did in their minds as they were answering the questions in order to get an accurate sense of what their eye movements signified.

Once you feel confident in eye movements as accessing cues, and in your ability to "read" them, there are many ways they can be used. As was mentioned earlier, habitual eye movements reflect a person’s preferred sensory modality. If you ask someone, "What is something that is really important to you? Think of it now," the placement of the person’s eyes as he or she is answering your question will probably tell you a lot about that person’s most valued representational system.

Eye movements can also be used to determine how truthful or congruent a person is being. If a person is describing an event that he or she has witnessed or participated in, for instance, the person’s eyes should move primarily to his or her left (if the person is right handed), indicating memory access. If the person looks up and to the right a lot, however, it is likely that the person is constructing or reconstructing some aspect of the experience he or she is describing. This may indicate that the person is either uncertain or being untruthful about what he or she is saying. The most common application of eye positions in NLP is to determine the representational strategies a person is using in order to think or make a decision. Since many aspects of people’s thinking processes are unconscious to them, spontaneous eye movements can be an extremely important part of eliciting and modeling a person’s inner strategies for decision making, learning, motivation, memory, etc.
