Enhancing Your Intelligence

There are many kinds of intelligence. But, considering all factors, intelligence can be enhanced at any level. Here are very useful but practical tips that can enhance the intelligence of any person.

Exercise your brain. You want to improve it? Then exercise it to the fullest. Do word quizzes, such as those found in Reader’s Digest. Do mathematical quizzes. Play around with abstract quizzes. Perform computations in your mind rather than relying on the calculator. Memorize some phone numbers. Do logic quizzes. Practice with puzzles of all kinds.  Play around with Rubik’s cube. Exercise your brain to the fullest.

Listen to classical music. Classical music is known to increase the IQ of humans in certain psychology experiments. So listen to all the forms of classical music, such as the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel, Bach, etc. They will increase your intelligence, refine your artistic temperament and impress your friends. Add to this repertoire other forms of relaxing music, such as nature symphonies, New Age music like the music of Sarah brightman, Enya, Celtic music, and the love songs of the 1980’s, generally considered to be the apex of popular music selections.

Read widely and deeply. Reading widely and deeply enhances the knowledge base of any individual. Start with books that have universal themes. Then sample selections from the classics, like Plato, Plotinus, Descartes, James, etc.  Reading the classics is a guaranteed way to enhance your intelligence at any age. Then go to world history and literature. Try to get your hands on all the classics of literature. Then proceed to philosophy, psychology and sociology. Don’t ignore contemporary fiction like science and epic fantasy. I have found them to be a veritable goldmine of archetypes. Many epic fantasy books are illuminating, with profound insights. Besides, they increase your vocabulary. Indulge in critical thinking and problem-solving books.  Top off your personal library with religious, spiritual and mystical books. Enjoy your feast.

Learn a new craft or hobby. As much as possible, make a habit of learning a new craft or hobby every now and then. Create time for it. The list is almost endless. Examples are photography, ballroom dancing, sign language, aikido, karate, badminton, web design, Vedic numerology, vegetarian cooking, Tarot meditation, and much more. Expand your imagination. Unleash your creativity.

Be open to new experiences. Do you habitually go to your school or place of work following a certain route? Then, by all means, try to change your routine from time to time. Try a different route tomorrow, or the next day. This will improve your geographic skills, make new connections in your brain, and increase your knowledge of your locality. Be open to new experiences like this. Be flexible and adaptable. Change your routine from time to time, for variety. Spice up your life.

Master a strategy game. Strategy games like chess, GO and the Games of the Generals are very instructive critical thinking paradigms. Learning a strategy game will enhance your critical thinking skills, and these skills can be translated into your everyday world. They force you to analyze, think ahead and evaluate many possibilities. Obviously, these are skills you need to manage your personal life. You can even join a club if it is available in your place. Strategize and evolve!

Improve your inquiry skills. By this I mean you must take the time to develop your formal inquiry skills, like the ability to access information from various databases. Learn how to search your library. Peruse many kinds of material. Learn how to research, access material and catalogue data from various sources. Learn how to research on the internet. Master the ability to explore the web, particularly how to obtain relevant information from search engines like google. Study methods of research, like psychological, educational and legal research. Expand your database and your neuronal processing will get a boost!

Challenge yourself by taking exams. Do not be afraid to take exams. They are a gauge of your study skills. If you are already a graduate and you have free time, then try to study for exams like the Civil Service examinations. If you are a teacher, participate in management aptitude batteries. Or better yet, ascend the heights of mental training and try the Mensa qualifying exam. Mensa is the society of geniuses. You may not be accepted by Mensa but at least you tried. Trying is everything.

Be holistic. If you want to enhance any portion of your being, then the other portions must not be ignored. Develop your physical aspect also by regular exercise and paying attention to your nutrition. Eat well and have a balanced diet. Our motto here should be healthy body, healthy mind, healthy heart, healthy soul, healthy being!

Remember that any activity which challenges your brain will cause the neurons to make more connections. The more connections, the better will be your subsequent cognitive processing. There is no age limit for enhancing your intelligence. Evolve or Dissolve.

10 Supposed Secret Space Programs

For decades, the world has questioned the space exploration narrative propounded by NASA. While this is not widely known, NASA is essentially a military organization, which means that this agency could protect sensitive information under the guise of defending national security. While the evidence seems to suggest that NASA did indeed send human beings to the Moon, many of the pictures taken on the Moon are said to have been faked or altered, and NASA has also altered images and video taken from the ISS. In 2002, Gary McKinnon hacked into NASA’s computer systems, and the data that he found seems to corroborate the supposition that this government agency is hiding information from the public.McKinnon uncovered pictures of UFOs that had been edited out of satellite imagery, flight manifests for spacecraft that didn’t officially exist, and lists of military officers involved in extraterrestrial operations. Buzz Aldrin, one of the first men on the Moon, has reported encountering an L-s

Though this type of relationship seems unplanned, women have a considerable amount of tactics. Let's see what they are.   1. They choose their target carefully. The most important tactic they have is to choose a man who is not romantic enough to prepare breakfast the next day. Though the guy may seem 'cool', he might be an emotional punk in real life. After finding the right target, the rest is easy. A sexy eye-wink is enough to make him lose control. 2. They don't give every bit of detail about themselves They just tell their names.

They learn if the guy is single or not The f
