When you have achieved Brain Integration, you will be more in charge of your brain. Instead of being a sideline observer of processes that go on by themselves, you will be more in command of what your brain does and how you respond. You will have what psychologists call met cognition. This means you are aware of your own mental operations—aware of the workings of your mind.

When you reach this state, everything changes. Even if you spent the first sixty years of your life being afraid of risk, you’ll be able to see your fear coming on, stop it, analyze it, and choose to respond differently, all in the blink of an eye. That is power. That is true self-awareness: the power to command the choices you make. It will change your life.

In Brain Integration, much depends on the quality of the questions that you ask yourself. The depth and courage of your questioning will determine the usefulness of the answers that your mind brings to you. When you are contemplating this part of BEST, we suggest you begin your questioning process in some of these areas: » Your relationships

*    Your spiritual beliefs
*    Your life goals
»    Your sense of identity
*    Your personal character
*    Your questions about the meaning of life

Do not limit yourself to these, however. They are merely starting points if you have trouble focusing your mind. If you can, open your mind in relaxation and let it lead you where it wishes to take you.
