Dear Root,

I would definitely not do justice to this topic of BRAIN WAVES and ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS, if I don't mention Mind Machines.

As you use the mind machine, you can expect to improve your memory, intelligence, concentration, self-confidence. You can expect to feel fresh, energized, and relaxed when you study or work.


“What Michael Hutchison, the Famous American Author Says about the Mind Machine Revolution”


Over the last two decades or so, mind machines have become very popular all over the world. It is estimated that over 40 lakh people in the world are now using mind development related technology.

Michael Hutchison, the famous American author, was so impressed with the Mind Machines that he started his best-selling book Mega Brain like this :


“You sit down in a comfortable chair, put on the electrical headgear [headphones, eye glasses, etc.], flip a switch on the small control by your hand, close your eyes, and sink into a state of deep relaxation. Thirty minutes later as you turn off the machine and remove the headgear, you feel extremely alert and lucid. Your brain is now functioning far more effectively than it was before. Your memory-your ability both to memorize new information and to recall information you have already learned-has increased dramatically. Your ability to think creatively, to solve problems, has expanded. The speed with which your brain cells pass messages among themselves has increased. In fact, many of your brain cells have actually grown-a microscopic examination would show that the brain cells have developed more dendrites, the branching filaments that carry messages from one cell to another, and more synapses, the junctures between brain cells across which impulses are transmitted. You are more intelligent than you were a half hour before.”

"Mind Machine Offers Benefits of Meditation by Changing Brainwaves to Create Meditation-Like State"
Mind Machine changes your brain waves just as meditation and offers many of the benefits of meditation (but without requiring years of training or effort).

Studies of brainwaves during meditation show that the state of meditation is much different from the state of sleep or drowsiness. The brainwaves slow down during meditation towards alpha. As meditation deepens, the brainwaves slow down more towards theta and even delta.


How Do the Mind Machines Work ?

What is a mind machine?

A mind machine can be defined as an equipment that empowers you to change your brain waves for the desired alpha, theta, etc. states for the desired benefits/learning/goals.


What research is the mind machine based on? How does it work?


These are questions that most people ask when something new is presented that is different from what they have seen or heard about. Even though these mind machine inventions are new, but the fundamental that these mind machines are based on, are not new. Like many inventions, these mind machines were developed by experimenting, discovering and utilizing the very best of many different mind technologies.

Mind Technology #1. Subliminal Messages


It means that there are messages which are hidden from your conscious mind, which cannot be heard, it does not interfere with these messages. But, your sub-conscious mind can hear these messages and accept them for the desired changes.

Mind Technology #2. Dual Auto Peripheral Suggestions (DAPS)trademark


Let me now tell you about another technology called DAPS (Dual Auto Peripheral Suggestions). It uses two separate stories, one for each ear. Here is how the great writer Michael Hutchison in his now classic book "Mega Brain" wrote about using two stories method.


"I first heard it in a float tank, where, having donned stereo headphones, I heard calm voices against a background of stately, soaring synthesizer music, gently guiding me into a deeply relaxed state. Then the soundtrack divided and I heard a separate voice in each ear, each voice narrating a completely different fairy-tale--charming stories of wizards, magic cities, intergalactic zoos, and mystic shoemakers. "This simultaneous input overloads the conscious mind," says Glauberman, "because there is simply too much information to process consciously." Unable to focus on either story, I found, your conscious mind tends to let go or turn off. When the half-hour session was over I seemed to awaken (though I knew I hadn't been asleep), feeling like I had had a delightful experience, though I couldn't quite remember just what the experience had been."

You hear a different story in each ear in my voice that makes artful use of language, neuro linguistic programming, Ericksonian techniques to immediately produce measurable relaxation in you while building positive, powerful, empowering beliefs that produce dramatic breakthrough results for you. I load the tales with variety of powerful suggestions that are best for students, in such artful way that the suggestions remain in indirect terms and seemingly are simply part of the story, so they go unnoticed. And, because the conscious mind can at best focus on one story at a time, it usually gives up and stops paying conscious attention, and as a result, most of the stories and the empowering messages hidden within them bypass the conscious mind completely, entering the unconscious mind. This is the most powerful way in my knowledge for belief change and it is effortless on the part of the listener.

The real test of a DAPS cassette is not listening to analyze it, but to close your eyes, sit comfortably or lie down, and listen to it and feel the results for yourself: Does it make you more relaxed than you have ever been in your life before? Does it make you feel like you feel just before you fall asleep? Does it make you feel relaxed? When I ask users these questions, just after they use the mind machine for the first time, they say, “Yes”.



Mind Technology #3.


Brainwave Entrainment and Brainwave Sync Tonal MatrixTM


Before I give you scientific explanation, first let me show you what Osho, one of the greatest gurus ever, said about "mind technology" in the book Meditation: The First and Last Freedom:

"... these high-tech mechanisms can be of tremendous use in the right hands. They can help create the kinds of waves in your mind so that you start feeling relaxed, as if half asleep ... thoughts are disappearing and a moment comes that everything becomes silent in you. That is the moment when the waves are those of deep sleep. You will not be aware of this deep sleep, but after 10 minutes, when you are unplugged from the machine, you will see the effects: you are calm, quiet, peaceful, no worry, no tension; life seems to be more playful and joyous. One feels as if one has had an inner bath. Your whole being is calm and cool.
With machines, things are very certain, because they don't depend on any doing of yours.
... but these machines can certainly create within 10 minutes a possibility that you may not be able to create in years of effort."

What is brainwave?

When you drop a small stone in water, you see waves. Similarly, the brain has waves that are measured as frequency in cycles per second and recorded by EEG.

If you play sound of 500 Hz in one ear and 510 Hz in the other ear, your brain “hears” the sound of frequency that is the difference of the two frequencies, i.e., 510-500 = 10 Hz. This sound is called binaural beat and it does not actually exist in the environment around us, but it is only in the mind. People who study Physics know it is similar to “resonance”.

When this happens, researchers are able to measure increased levels of bilateral synchronized brain wave activity at the frequency of the binaural beat.

A scientist named Robert Monroe found in 1960’s that part of the brain, called the olivary nucleus, begins to resonate with the binaural beat. This phenomena is called brainwave entrainment. The olivary nucleus sends signals upward into the cerebral cortex that mix with the existing brain wave patterns to produce noticeable changes. Monroe finally found that with certain frequencies, he could produce a unique and coherent brain state called hemispheric synchronization.

These binaural beats are used to help/teach people to achieve alpha or theta states of calm attention in which it is easier to learn, meditate or relax.

Brainwave Sync Tonal Matrix, the mind technology developed by us and used in our mind machine, uses binaural beats technology, but it is far more complex and advanced than just using 500Hz and 510 Hz for the two ears. It is based on years of experiment, research and development to discover what combinations work best for focus/ concentration, for memory/learning, for relaxation, etc.

We have used all four types of brainwaves Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta in the best possible way for use during learning, before learning, after learning or to awake and energize.


Mind Technology #4.


Accelerated Learning and Whole Brain Learning/Memory


There’s a world-wide explosion of advanced techniques for accelerated learning, supercharged remembering, and peak mental performance. The publication of the book Superlearning by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder made superlearning or accelerated learning techniques popular. These help you use your whole brain (both left brain and right brain) for learning and memory.

The Alpha Plus Mind Machine uses advanced accelerated learning techniques along with other mind technologies to enable users to effortlessly memorize words 3 to 7 times faster.

Many programs for schools have been supported by the American federal or state governments.

For example, the Washington State Department of Health and Social Services reported that by using Superlearning techniques, Indochinese refugees learned English five times faster. At Iowa State University students learned Spanish seven times faster. And from Australia’s Woden TAFE College, John Wade revealed, “I have used the Superlearning technology with adult migrants learning English. The results from controlled experiment ... show that long term memory retention increased sixfold.”


Mind Technology #5.


Neuro Linguistic Programming, Ganzfield, Energizing Sound PatternsTM


Neuro Linguistic Programming uses languages in specific ways to make desired changes in the mind.

Ganzfield: If what we hear and see are uniform, non-changing and constant, after a little time, the mind realizes that these signals are constant and offer no danger or other valuable information, and the mind stops paying attention to them, leading to mind becoming free to take the attention inwards, and this results in deep relaxation. Some of the programs make use of the Ganzfield phenomenon.

Energizing Sound Patterns: Dr Tomatis, a French ENT surgeon discovered that certain high frequency sounds have greatly beneficial effects, which the writer Patricia Joudry describes as below: “a listening technique using high frequency music for beneficially recharging the cortex of the brain. The effect upon the person is one of vitalizing, harmonizing and healing in almost every area of being”.

The simple truth is that there is no other comparable mind machine system in the whole world because it is radically different and enormously powerful.



And the good news is:

“There are No Side Effects”


It is good to know that there are no side effects whatsoever. There are three ways to look at the issue of safety:

The Mind Machine changes your brainwaves just like in meditation, but quickly, and just like in the case of meditation, which India has pioneered for over 5000 years, it is safe.

Around the world, an estimated 40 lakh people are using mind technology products and even in India, we estimate that over 1 lakh people are using mind technology.



The DAPS technology uses stories with artfully embedded positive empowering messages. Mothers and grandmothers have been telling positive stories to children since the beginning of mankind and of course, such stories offer only positive beneficial effects and no negative side effects.

Dear Root,

Well, this has been little lengthy.... I appreciate your persistance if you have made it till here, Well, that;s all I can say about it...It's one of the right investments that I made in my Life...

Now, I have to go.. My posts count has touched 5 and also My systems administrator wants to use the computer, which I think will be for the next 24 hours, until monday(today, now it is sunday here) morning, I hope to get access to this system atleast after 16 hours from now....

Let me know whether this was fully explanatory...and provide feedback as to where I could shed more light...
