Hi Pushbutton...

I have had the book for a few years now, and that was also my initial conclusion.

For me, there would be times when I would try it and stay with it a bit and I would feel a very pleasant tingle in the center of my forehead. Other times, nothing much at all.



Supposedly, the effects accumulate over time with practice and eventually results in an orgasmic, ecstatic sensation.

Neil Slade calls it 'popping your frontal lobes'. Here is a claim from one of the users in a letter to Neil Slade;

The amygdala "popping", could it be described as almost an orgasm in your head?

I was laying down in bed a couple nights ago and my brain was doing it's usual turning.

Nothing really out of the ordinary, just letting the thoughts flow through me, like you say in your books. All the sudden I notice a very odd but extremely pleasurable sensation in the amygdala area of my brain.

I focused on the sensation I was having and I figured that it must be on the verge of "popping."

It basically felt as if the amygdala was spinning in my head and for lack of better words it gave me a very orgasmic feeling. It really was something. Thanks for your time, Austin G

I know someone else's experiences is not the same as genuine evidence, but this is basically what some of the users describe when it happens.



And this is what Neil Slade describes as "Popping your frontal lobes":

Think of the most fantastic, exhilarating, or happiest moment of your life. Got it? Now multiply that times a thousand, or ten-thousand. Or a million . That's what it feels like when you POP! your frontal lobes. For real.

To turn on your frontal lobes you ......Click your amygdala forward. This sends energy all the way through your brain. ......... Transcendence

From what I already read from the book, and what Neil says on his website, the effects build or accculmulate over time, though some people claim it happens immediately:

However, the results of the Blackhawk brain lab study show that by the addition of learning basic brain facts the "transcendence phenomenon" occurred between two weeks and five years after the beginning of practice, and study of a few brain facts. Most people who are receptive get results from day one.

My opinion? I can't say for sure if it works or doesn't, especially since I only tried it a few times.

I think it can only be decided by the person trying it out, since it's all up to experiencing it yourself.

I do give Neil lots of credit for devoting so much research into this. Since he says it takes practice, and he's done the research, maybe that's the key.


Assuming that this really works, some ideas I do have that might make it work more consistently, would be to have a strong intention to feel the results before even doing it.

Like saying and imagining, "I want to feel bliss after I click" and then click. At least that way, the brain gets the message.

Or, imagine the the part of the amygdala where you tickle with a feather as being very ticklish and sensative.

And frequently imagining the big "pop" too.

I might even go as far as to combine "anchoring" with it, so that by triggering the anchor, you experience the sensation.

In other words, I would experiment with it!
