Why this clip art and silly comments on the wrong side of the page?  

 

Only the language channel knows which side of the page is wrong.  Only the language channel knows that images are irrelevant.  Writing about the other brain channels is like dancing about architecture.  We've used a number of devices that will only make sense when you use those other channels to understand what we mean. 

Tell me and I forget.   Show me and I remember.

                Involve me and I understand.

Graphics, sayings, humor, and snide remarks.  Graphics speak to your imagery channels.  Maybe even give them a much needed workout.  The humor and side comments suggest alternative viewpoints, memory tricks, or ideas to connect.  You will probably find them half-familiar.  Use them to think about what you have just been reading.   You will find many of these things duplicated in the Cuepons.  You may want to print some and use them as reminders of what you read.  Just in case you want something you read here to influence something you do where it counts.

                                                       Is this a new psychological technique?

Of course not.  These are old techniques, used by Zen, existentialism, the Bible, and many writers who have more to say than the language channel can handle.   Marketers use these techniques to get ideas (rather than just words) into the heads of customers.  You can use these techniques to get ideas into those other channels in your own head. 

 

Ask yourself what these silly comments suggest to you.

Once you hear a lecture on  swimming
you never forget what you learned about lectures.

I've got brains I haven’t even used yet. 

Luke: What's in there?   Yoda: Only what you take with you.

They have ears but do not hear.

I cannot say that I don't disagree with you.—Groucho Marx.

Don't raise the bridge, lower the river.

Never question authority.  It doesn't know either.

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Eat a live toad in the morning
and nothing worse will happen to you all day.
 
All generalizations are inaccurate.

If God had wanted people to be smart,
He would have given them brains.

There is much to learn from what you don’t know.

Success lies not in reaching your goals,
but in how the pursuit changes you.

Nobody else can go there for you. 
You gotta go there by yourself.
