“Aktivasi Otak Tengah”
sebenarnya adalah aktivasi bagian otak yang bertanggungjawab terhadap kontrol INTUISI, DAYA
PREDIKSI & KEMAMPUAN PERSPEKTIF (disebut “Kompetensi Bawah Sadar”/
Subconscious Mind Competence) dan kontrol memori jangka pendek dan jangka panjang,
penyimpanan ingatan dari pengalaman hidup, pemertahanan homeostatis, emosi pertahanan
dan perlindungan diri (Buzan, 2005:43).
Mengaktifkan bagian otak ini berarti
menumbuhkembangkan kemampuan anak dalam mengingat (menggali memori jangka pendek dan jangka
panjang), pengelolaan ingatan/ memori pengalaman hidup sekaligus kemampuan anak dalam menggunakan
intuisi, daya prediksi dan kemampuan perspektif. Sangat POWERFUL bila digunakan dalam BELAJAR !
Secara kasat mata, seorang anak yang telah aktif “otak tengah”-nya, ia
mampu mendeteksi, mengetahui objek-objek (bahkan membaca) dengan mata tertutup !
Maaf, jika Anda berpikiran berhenti sampai pada kemampuan ini telah dianggap selesai, Anda
akan bingung tentang MANFAAT SESUNGGUHNYA dari aktivasi bagian otak ini. Mungkin Anda akan
berkata “aahh.. apa gunanya, lha wong punya mata kok susah-susah banget membaca sambil
merem (tutup mata)…”. Bukan “kehebatan” anak bisa
“melihat” dengan mata tertutup atau mampu membaca dengan mata tertutup itu sebagai
tujuan akhir. Ini justru baru PERMULAAN (prasyarat) bagi TEKNIK MIRACLE LEARNING !
Aktivasi bagian otak ini BERHUBUNGAN ERAT dengan TEKNIK LANJUTAN untuk mendayagunakannya
dalam BELAJAR yang luar biasa ! Yakni MIRACLE LEARNING !
MIRACLE LEARNING adalah program
bimbingan belajar berbasis terapi dan pendayagunaan subconscious mind
competence (kecerdasan bawah sadar). Dalam program ini anak dibimbing dengan menggunakan
kurikulum Miracle
Learning yang di-setting secara khusus. Dalam program ini, anak terlebih dahulu
diaktifkan “kompetensi bawah sadar”-nya. Dalam aktivasi ini dipastikan terlebih
dahulu bahwa emosi anak benar-benar stabil. Jika pada tahap ini emosi anak tidak stabil (mungkin
ada kecenderungan ketidakstabilan emosi, dsb) maka gangguan ini diterapi terlebih dahulu. Jika
telah beres maka dilanjutkan aktivasi. Setelah “kompetensi bawah sadar” anak telah
aktif, maka dilanjutkan dengan penerapan materi-materi lain (dijelaskan dalam sesi
training).
MENGAKTIFKAN OTAK TENGAH
From sea to shining sea, or at least from one side of the Hudson to the other, politicians you have barely heard of are being accused of wrongdoing. There were so many court proceedings involving public officials on Monday that it was hard to keep up.
In Newark, two underlings of Gov. Chris Christie were arraigned on charges that they were in on the truly deranged plot to block traffic leading onto the George Washington Bridge.
Ten miles away, in Lower Manhattan, Dean G. Skelos, the leader of the New York State Senate, and his son, Adam B. Skelos, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on accusations of far more conventional political larceny, involving a job with a sewer company for the son and commissions on title insurance and bond work.
The younger man managed to receive a 150 percent pay increase from the sewer company even though, as he said on tape, he “literally knew nothing about water or, you know, any of that stuff,” according to a criminal complaint the United States attorney’s office filed.
The success of Adam Skelos, 32, was attributed by prosecutors to his father’s influence as the leader of the Senate and as a potentate among state Republicans. The indictment can also be read as one of those unfailingly sad tales of a father who cannot stop indulging a grown son. The senator himself is not alleged to have profited from the schemes, except by being relieved of the burden of underwriting Adam.
The bridge traffic caper is its own species of crazy; what distinguishes the charges against the two Skeloses is the apparent absence of a survival instinct. It is one thing not to know anything about water or that stuff. More remarkable, if true, is the fact that the sewer machinations continued even after the former New York Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, was charged in January with taking bribes disguised as fees.
It was by then common gossip in political and news media circles that Senator Skelos, a Republican, the counterpart in the Senate to Mr. Silver, a Democrat, in the Assembly, could be next in line for the criminal dock. “Stay tuned,” the United States attorney, Preet Bharara said, leaving not much to the imagination.
Even though the cat had been unmistakably belled, Skelos father and son continued to talk about how to advance the interests of the sewer company, though the son did begin to use a burner cellphone, the kind people pay for in cash, with no traceable contracts.
That was indeed prudent, as prosecutors had been wiretapping the cellphones of both men. But it would seem that the burner was of limited value, because by then the prosecutors had managed to secure the help of a business executive who agreed to record calls with the Skeloses. It would further seem that the business executive was more attentive to the perils of pending investigations than the politician.
Through the end of the New York State budget negotiations in March, the hopes of the younger Skelos rested on his father’s ability to devise legislation that would benefit the sewer company. That did not pan out. But Senator Skelos did boast that he had haggled with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, in a successful effort to raise a $150 million allocation for Long Island to $550 million, for what the budget called “transformative economic development projects.” It included money for the kind of work done by the sewer company.
The lawyer for Adam Skelos said he was not guilty and would win in court. Senator Skelos issued a ringing declaration that he was unequivocally innocent.
THIS was also the approach taken in New Jersey by Bill Baroni, a man of great presence and eloquence who stopped outside the federal courthouse to note that he had taken risks as a Republican by bucking his party to support paid family leave, medical marijuana and marriage equality. “I would never risk my career, my job, my reputation for something like this,” Mr. Baroni said. “I am an innocent man.”
The lawyer for his co-defendant, Bridget Anne Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff to Mr. Christie, a Republican, said that she would strongly rebut the charges.
Perhaps they had nothing to do with the lane closings. But neither Mr. Baroni nor Ms. Kelly addressed the question of why they did not return repeated calls from the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J., begging them to stop the traffic tie-ups, over three days.
That silence was a low moment. But perhaps New York hit bottom faster. Senator Skelos, the prosecutors charged, arranged to meet Long Island politicians at the wake of Wenjian Liu, a New York City police officer shot dead in December, to press for payments to the company employing his son.
Sometimes it seems as though for some people, the only thing to be ashamed of is shame itself.
