YOUR CAPACITIES

How to expand your intelligence

What makes it possible

How could anyone expand his or her intelligence? Were we born in a frozen mind that can never change? This is not true; we will show here several ways to increase intelligence.

The expansion of intelligence has two dimensions. First, the inborn capabilities that are available to each one of us just because we are human beings. Second, models to use these capabilities objectively. For example, we are born able to think, and thinking we understand things, define objectives and make decisions. So, we can use our thinking skills to expand our intelligence, given that we know how to do it, and this is where the second dimension comes: models for using thinking - and whatever we discover we are able to do - to achieve well defined results. This is what this site is all about: to describe our inborn capacities and ways to use them to get what we want.

This is much like a computer, that is a self-organized system. We don't decide how it will be internally organized, it has its proper rules. But we can interact with the computer and influence it to do whatever we want or need. But the means we have to interact with the computer are those provided by its own structure. If we want to do something with the computer, we must know how to operate it (all right, we may have someone that does).

So, this section is the starting point to our content. Here is where we describe our capacities, which in other sections will be used to support the strategies to learn, to deal with emotions, to memorize and so on

Go to the summary of this section to see our capacities/tools. Each page has links to its applications. We're not done yet, but what is already done is enough to change the rest of everyone's life. Don't believe us, check it by yourself!

Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP is our main source of inspiration. It's not only a model, it's a tool for modeling. Many of the cases and strategies presented in this site were originated in this incredible discipline. 

In particular we apply NLP's mind special effects, as we call them, which consist of using thinking and imagination to modify internal structure and processes. It has already been demonstrated that mind can be used to change itself, in the same way body can act over itself. It is much like playing an instrument, what may seem difficult at the beginning, but becomes easier after we learn it. To intervene to improve our mind and emotions can be viable if we know how and with some practice.

NLP in fact is a huge set of strategies that can be used to improve communication, therapy, teaching, sales, relationships and many other areas.
