Our nervous system receives 11 million pieces of information a second. Forty are permitted to enter consciousness. What determines access? A structure within the brain stem – the very oldest part of the brain, dedicated to physical survival. It condenses, deletes, generalizes and stores within memory. It is what has allowed us to survive over 500 million years of evolution. So when information reaches consciousness it becomes our modus operandi, our personality, our story, which dictates the way we behave in this world. Can you imagine making decisions based on 0.0000036ths of the information available to you?
