Even when I first clicked on the Suduku icon at the Inquiry Institute site, I already had feelings of nervous anxiousness. I know I don't like to play games and this was going to be an intense game for me. So, when I saw it online, I knew I was in for an experience. When I first started, it was so frustrating that I was near to tears- really! I think I have pushed myself into a mental corner... so I didn't even consider that I could succeed at such a challenge.

But after calming down, and seeing that my "play pals" had also been frustrated, I gave in to a slight surge of confidence, and I finished my first suduku in under ten minutes!

The ongoing looping process that Paul talks about is a reasonable explanation for the way in which our brains help us to sort out the world and I think I am finally beginning to understand some of this theory. I remember Joyce said that she "had no idea" what paul was talking about after her first Brain and Behavior Institute. So, the fact that I am starting to get it after just 25 days, is good news!

Your unconscious comes up with new meaning while you consciously make observations. If students are going to learn then there must be conflict. Yes, the brain will not accept knowledge if everything is on an  even keel: Things must be rocky to get inside!

Finally, I did want to add my unlikely football team to
the Mind Over Matter Football League: The Taoist Cowboys.
