Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee believes that all people should view themselves as citizens of the Earth and as equals who love each other unconditionally. He also says that it's possible to gain ultimate control over one's brain in an effort to weed out negative thought and memories.
Given this, a new study that was conducted at the National Institute of Mental Health may provide some insight into how Brain Education techniques may be used to eliminate prejudice.
The researchers found that a region in the brain's value system, known as the ventral striatum, is activated when people of high socioeconomic status are introduced to others of an elite status.
"As humans, we have the capacity to assess our surroundings and context to determine appropriate feelings and behavior," said lead author Caroline Zink. "We, and our brain's activity, are not static and can adjust depending on the circumstances."
By using Brain Education methods, individuals can focus on the negativity within their minds to eliminate it, replacing such harmful thoughts with feelings of love and positivity. When many people begin to master this, the positivity derived from it may spill over and touch every member of the human race.
