ELBERT:​ ​EVERYONE LEARNS BETTER EMBRACING REVOLUTIONARY TEACHING!!!
After over twenty years of being in education, I provide tutoring, consulting, and coaching on
dyslexia and other neurodevelopmental differences. Over the last 15 years, I’ve observed an
increasing amount of behavioral, sensorial, cognitive, physical, mental, and spiritual difficulties
and differences along with an increased number of children being medicated; Therefore, I
developed a revolutionary program that includes an evaluation that “looks at the whole child.” I
work with all stakeholders on constructive engagement when learning based on my student
“whole child” observation(s) inspired by ​Maria Montessori, Neville Lancelot Goddard, Benjamin
Bloom, Peter Levine, Conrad E. and Cohen B., Dr. J. Puleo & Dr. L. Horowitz, Howard Garner,
Dr. Bradley Nelsen, Hans Berger,​ ​Jean Piaget, Grolnick, W. & Kurowski, C. and Erik Erickson. ​I
have also developed a revolutionary training/intervention program for people with unique
learning and neurodifferences. This program is based on my own inductive reasoning and a
detective sense contributed to my own gift of dyslexia, countless hours of student observations,
educational research and studies along with my perpetual care for children.
The program I developed is named ​ELBERT​ which results include less passive student
engagement, confidence, health and wellness including more pleasurable learning while
participating in learning activities. Speaking of the “whole child”- you need to examine every
aspect of “the whole child” not just the end goal or result which is literacy and their appropriate
learning behavior.This program looks at the “whole child” and their unique neural development,
complete learning differences including the nature and nurture of the neurodifference including
their chakras, biofield (EM Field), and nervous system. I’m now making my expertise available
to parents, teachers, administrators, stakeholders and other learning communities. ELBERT
also includes a self-guided literacy intervention program along with other coaching through a
course on understanding dyslexia and other learning differences, and consulting.
I observed the student’s sensory acute response to stress and interview teachers the child, and
parents, observe input/output of motor, verbal, and written behaviors in response to a literacy
activity such as a phonics inventory, word- sound knowledge, phonological awareness
exercises, and working memory activities along with the student’s interest survey and overall
behaviors based on executive, somatic and autonomic functioning. My program is named
ELBERT based on ​see in store is based off my book:​ HERE​ ​and includes the important help
for the triune brain which includes the following: ​Brainstem-​ I have a fight, flight and freeze
sympathetic/parasympathetic observational checklist; ​Midbrain-​ a screening for vestibular,
proprioceptive, somatic issues, along with speech/language development, auditory and visual
processing; ​Limbic-​ My lesson plan template that includes the 4 F’s: Facts, Forms/Functions,

Feelings & Future along with a progress monitoring tool; ​Cordial-​ holistic, alternative
suggestions for taking care of the whole child’s individual, dynamic needs. Lastly, my program,
Elbert, includes a self-guided literacy intervention program, along with other coaching through a
course on understanding Dyslexia and consulting (first one Free)!

Introduction
Cook, the author, looks at the “whole child” and complete learning differences including the
nature and nurture of the neurodifference. For learning to be successful, we need to look at the
“whole child” and their neuro-symatic learning functions. For learning motivation and resilience
(meaning) to be successful, you need to have a strong cognitive, behavioral, and
affective-spiritual components which include the following: central and peripheral nervoussensory
system (especially visual and auditory), RAS & ACC/HPA (parts of the brain) and
biofield (including electromagnetic field, internal chakras), neuroplasticity and IQ, positive
perceptions specifically strength and empathy (along with reduced perceptions of anger and
shame), healthy and functional physiological, sensory-motor systems, hormones released such
as serotonin, dopamine, cortisol along with autonomy (for meaning, speed processing, and
long-term memory) and attunement (for meaning & motivation, speed processing, and
short-term memory). Therefore, when learning difficulties occur, our neurobiology
(neurosystems), central and peripheral nervous system, complete chakra, and electromagnetic
systems are all dysfunctioning or dysregulating simultaneously and individually at different
degrees and causing abnormal neuroplasticity. Our goal is for ​ALL​ our systems to function
equalized, activated, and balanced with a functional system by getting the child to trust
themselves through spiritual mindset with self-directed neuroplasticity through ABC’s and gain
God awareness (eventually unity) through PYAM.
Again, speaking of the “whole child”- you need to examine every aspect of their learning, not
just the end goal or result which is literacy and their appropriate learning behavior.​ ​Now, we
know epigenetics is generational anger and shame being healed and determines which
genes will be expressed and how systems will function.

Nature
The Body
Chapter 1
Nature- is the maturation of the brain and body; for the purpose of survival, it’s the ability to
perceive, give meaning, learn, and act including motivation and resilience of our very own
environments (patterns first). Speaking of the “whole child”- the vagus nerve connects the
brainstem to the body. It also connects and aligns the seven chakras, RAS & ACC/HPA
including their own biofield (including electromagnetic field). This vagal balance allows the ​brain
stem​ to receive the information (formulating patterned neural connections) from the
environment, the ​midbrain​ to monitor and receive information (firing pattern of brain nerve cells
in a network) from our environment, and the ​frontal lobe ​to perceive the universal emotions
which are the following: ​anger, strength, joy, bliss, shame, courage, compassion, and
harmony​ (executive functioning logic through analysis or evaluation) where the mind deems
how important (what or why). The “why” is based on context cues (evaluation) and the “what” is
based on recursive aspects (analysis). The vagus nerve (thymus- vagus nerve chakra) can be
deactivated, hyperactivated, underdeveloped, or going inactive in children (adults-too);
therefore, releasing specific inflammatory proteins at the gut-brain axis which can be toxic to the
triune brain [accessed 1/2/2021
https://www-health-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.health.com/mind-body/brain-memory-healt
hy-mind?amp=true].

In the field of child-psychology, “Every attitude has three components that are represented
in what is called the ABC model of attitudes: A for affective, B for behavioral, and C for
cognitive. Although every attitude has these three components, any particular attitude can
be based on one component more than another (Study.com, 2020).” The naming of the
word attitude as it relates to students learning can give someone a negative perception;
parents ask me all the time, “can you help me with my child’s attitude”. The attitude one
has for learning makes for a make or break type learning. I observe kids all the time with
Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD) which means it is hard to find meaning and
motivation for learning. When your child is learning under stress and having RDS, they are
learning from their mental or emotional bodies, primarily with a Sympathetic (anger)
Functional System which is a hyper-processing dysfunction and Parasympathetic (shame)
Functional System Dysfunction which is a hypo-processing dysfunction or both
anger/shame which is a Total Functional Dominance System which is a varied hyper-, hypodysfunction
of the RAS (Rectangular Activation System). This hyper-, hypo- and varied
dominance affects the “whole child”.
Specifically, the mental body is anger brain dominant and perceives in the heart everything
related to learning with anger. The emotional body is shame brain dominant and perceives
in the heart everything related to learning with shame. According to my good friend, Tom
Heintz (An Emotional Code Practitioner-Creator of ​The Body Code​) who references​ Christine
H., MS, LMHC​ (2018), ‘Anxiety [anger and shame] is one emotion that can be passed down
from one generation to the next. Also, there are 10 emotions that can also be inherited
through family trauma, parental modeling, and/or abusive behaviors.’ For those who
struggle with sensory triggers and learning stressors, like when experiencing reading or
writing, these negatively perceived and filtered experiences with anger and shame, can
cause a trauma type of developmental anxiety and sometimes even depression. Heintz
(2020) also refers to this following excerpt from​ Christine Hammond, MS, LMHC​:
1. Anger – There are three main types of unhealthy anger: aggressive anger,
passive-aggressive anger [shame], and suppressive anger [hatred- not kids usually] – all of
which can negatively affect a child. For example, if a parent is aggressively angry by yelling,
their child might grow up to mimic the same behavior or learn to redirect it into their own
manifestation of anger.

2. Shame – Hearing words from parents such as, “You will never be good enough,” or
“You are stupid,” attack the heart of who a person is. Sadly enough, shaming tactics are
pervasive in hyper-religious homes where a child is told that they have to live up to some
unrealistic standard and very frequently are practiced by the child on others once they
have been exposed to such treatment” (Generational Healing: tom@thebodyemotions.com;
https://thebodyemotions.com/10-emotions-that-can-be-inherited/​).
In 2018, I created ​The ELBERT ​Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD) Checklist which is
Functional System Dominance Checklist. I have found in over 4 dozen students what I always knew;
that they develop anger first, if not given a healthy, safe, and supportive environment for their
anger. Also, anger can develop into shame. Then, the shame will be more dominant. This ELBERT
checklist and resources are important for those working with neurodifferences because shame is
harder to address than anger. Shame is the defense for anger and survival of some people. Some
people though are less susceptible to shame and remain in anger. I have found more times than not
where just anger has been marked; especially in younger students. I interview the students and their
parents (teachers too preferably) where an [x] means most of the time in their learning environment
and a [/] means some of the time in their learning environment (see image 1.0). Note: if anger and
shame are not addressed at a young age, it can turn into hatred and grief.

“Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and
disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their
environment” (Definition of Neuroplasticity, 2020).
When a child with neurodifferences is learning something new or stressful, if perceived
with anger (SFD) we can observe lessened neuroplasticity of the midbrain (right lobe) and
constant speed shifting (accelerated or and varied) of the prefrontal cortex, frontal lobe
along with midbrain (left lobe) and emotional disorders with long term memory problems.
If perceived with shame (PFD), we can observe lessened neuroplasticty of the prefrontal
cortex, frontal lobe along with midbrain (left lobe)and constant speed shifting (slow or and
varied) of the midbrain (right lobe) along with more executive functioning issues and short
term memory problems or midbrain. We can attribute this constant speed shifting to the
common problems of poor neuroplasticity. Likewise, the lacking a self-directed
neuroplasticity such as positive attunement and autonomy (belief I AM GOOD ENOUGH &
WORTHY), feeling safe and secure in their environment, poor (body) sleep, diet, health and
wellness, lacking physical activity, dysfunction of vagus nerve (soul- body) connection,
sometimes even the (spirit-soul-body) connection (much older teens), lacking gratitude
including (heart-connection), attunement and (mind-trust ) autonomy, love of self and
others, sensory overload along consistently multi-tasking and/or context-switching
(handling 2 or more tasks at the same time) especially in this complex, non-connected (yet,
connected), neurotoxic and EMF toxic infused environment- ALL decreasing our very own
electromagnetism and vagal tone.
Mind you again, learning with meaning and motivation is complicated and that the
spirit-soul-body/connection-trust-love disconnection causes maladjustment and belonging
in this world. Don’t worry, our spirit, soul, and body connection can also be complicated to
a point, if we understand that we are love and not meant for fear. Think about it this way,
when your child has a Hypo or Hyper, Varied Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD), their
learning decreases due to disconnections to others-themselves soul-body disconnection of
consciousness, perceptions of anger/shame along with assimilation (meaning and
motivation) of those perceptions. Sadly, the students who have RDS dysfunctions, they can
become labeled Learning Disabled (amongst other labels). Therefore, they are not learning
effectively, cognitively, or behaviorally on a conscious level nor helped in a way that is
revolutionary nor effective.

With just a Sympathetic Functional System Dominance, they perceive everything with anger
during stress. When they have a Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance, they filter
and attune themselves to everything with shame. When we have both anger and shame
(see child sample above), this is called a Total Learning System Dysfunction which creates:
this creates almost complete soul-body disconnect (dysregulation) due to constant learning
aka cognitive speed shifting (hyper-. Hypo- and varied) which tires out the brain’s (RAS)
Rectangular Activation System (chakras 6-8th) much quicker than the balanced learning
brain which, in turn, lessens neuroplasticity. When our very own DNA predispositions us for
learning differences (anger and shame predispositions) our systems have any dysfunctions
(described above), we actually have body-soul disconnection which again are actually due
the dysfunction of the Rectangular Activation System (RAS part of the brain- chakras
6th-8th).
Chapter 2
The Brain
Specifically, if the vagal system is comprised including the following areas of the brain:
Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) and Vibrating the Alta Major Chakra
The Cinguate Gyrus (CAN)​- is a large arch-like lobe in the center of the inner ​brain​ that is a
part of the limbic system; it houses the organs and their interactions constitute the ​Anterior
Cingulate Cortex ​(ACC-shame) and the main function of this area of the ​brain​ functions to
process conscious emotional experience and the parasympathetic nervous system (right side)
(NOTE: the importance of conscious reappraisal of emotions such as shame/empathy and
anger/strength for the ARAS). Note: The ARAS doesn’t fully develop in the brain until variably,
around the ages 21–24 years old (Fowler, J.W., 2015).
2.0 ACC & Cinguate Gyrus (CAN) illustration

NOTE: (HPA) Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal and Vibrating the Soma Chakra
The hypothalamic​–​pituitary​–​adrenal axis​ is a complex set of direct influences and feedback
interactions among three components: the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the adrenal
glands. These organs and their interactions constitute the HPA (anger) axis, a major
neuroendocrine system that controls reactions to stress and regulates many body processes,
including digestion, the immune system and the sympathetic nervous system (frontal lobe/left
side). (Accessed on 12/29/2020- The Brain Network Driving Changes in
Consciousness — https://neurosciencenews.com/consciousness-brain-network-17491/)
2.1 HPA illustration
Vagus Nerve and Vibrating the Soma and Alta Major Chakra

The vagus nerve-​ is one of the cranial nerves that connect the brain to the body. More
specifically, it’s the connection between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract. Likewise, the
vagus nerve has two bunches of sensory nerve cell bodies, and it connects the brainstem to the
body and vagal nerves carry somatic and visceral afferents that can alter the activity of the
brainstem at the point of the reticular centers (RAS). Remember the RAS & ACC (shame)/HPA
(anger) also allows the brain to monitor and receive information about several of the body’s
different functions and matters of the ​mind ​including the perceptions and filters of the
parasympathetic (shame), sympathetic (anger) & total (anger/shame) response system during
stress such as reading. When you activate the chakras (major 7 and soma/alta major- HPA
(anger)/ACC(shame)) and normalize, balance the vagal tone and electromagnetic field, it will
stop the “epigenome” which are again the collection of chemicals markers (focus: inherently
dyslexia). This interruption will allow the body to then calm, be healthy, resilient, gain positive
attitudes (joy, bliss) and make learning more pleasurable and effective; therefore, also the
Reticular Activating System (RAS) needs to be activated via the vagus nerve (thymus- vagus
nerve chakra). Note: The (ARAS) itself is on the cerebral cortex and is responsible for the
achievement of super consciousness (higher transpersonal self) .
2.2 Vagus Nerve Chakra (Upper Heart Chakra-Thymus) illustration Note: includes Soma and
Alta Major chakras
Remember the vagus nerve also connects the brainstem to the body. The vagus nerve also is
connected to the seven chakras via RAS & ACC (shame)/HPA (anger)- by activating the seven

chakras including the soma/alta major via the vagus nerve, it can continue doing its job of
helping us connect our brain stem to the body; hence, regulating our biofield (including
electromagnetic fields). One of the major goals of the paper and program includes holistic
alternatives and activities to block or ease the production of specific inflammatory proteins and
chemicals (toxicity) excreted at the gut-brain axis via the vagus nerve, align and balance the
seven chakras (soma/alta major also) including RAS & ACC (shame)/HPA (anger) areas of the
brain to regulate our own biofields (including electromagnetic fields).
2.3 RAS Rectangular Activation System Note: includes Soma and Alta Major Chakras
illustration
Vagus Nerve & RAS Vibrating Alta Major Chakra (*aka God Awareness Chakra)
The Reticular Activating System (RAS)-​ is a network of neurons located in the brain stem that
project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to mediate behavior such as sleep, memory, and
learning; as well as, both posteriorly to the thalamus and directly to the cortex for activation of
awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns.
The ACC (see top)- is part of RAS (Pineal Gland, Pituitary Gland-associated with the alta
major chakra and shame).
HPA (see top)-(Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis- associated with the soma chakra
and anger both associated with the thymus chakra aka vagus nerve chakra).
Note: Important RAS info. includes the following excerpt... ‘The RAS is said to be the gas pedal
[slow (hypo-), accelerate (hyper-) or varied cognitive speed processing] that ignites the

diencephalon (the hypothalamus and thalamus) as well as the cortical areas [where all
long-term memory/storage takes place] of the brain’ (Petty, 1996).
Corpus callosum​- links both hemispheres and to varying degrees. Hence students might have
a lateral cognitive dominance of the functioning system- the students with the ​right-hemisphere
dominance ​have Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD) and might have
dysphonetic dyslexia because language and analysis (break down category and sequencing)
which is a ​left-hemisphere task​: therefore, students with ​right-hemisphere dominance ​might
have high functioning autism, can have language deficits such as dsyphonetic (auditory)
dyslexia.
Unilateral Neglect (or Hemispatial Neglect)/Total Functioning System Dominance (TFD)-
student might have high-functioning autism along with other learning differences (below).
Someone prominent in ​right​-​brain​ (ACC) has an unawareness of objects to one side of the
body or personal space. In severe cases, a side can be ​completely​ ignored when carrying out
certain tasks and everyday functions such as writing so may have dysgraphia. But another
important brain function is controlled by either the right side of your brain or the left side of your
brain depending on your handedness.
Sympathetic Functioning System Dominance (SFD) student has total (see below) or left corpus
callosum dysfunction then having a total right or ​left-lateral hemisphere dominance ​(HPA),
evaluation (specifically color, shape, size & dimension) is a​ right-hemisphere task​; those with
a Sympathetic Functioning System Dominance (SFD) therefore, might have autism, Irlen
Syndrome, and dsyeidetic (visual) dyslexia.
Unilateral Neglect (or Hemispatial Neglect)/Total Functioning System Dominance (TFD)-
student might have autism (lower functioning) along with other learning differences (below).
Someone with dominant​ frontal lobe or the (left) dominant temporal lobe ​(SFD) can cause a
condition called ​aphasia​, which is a serious disturbance of speech and communication.
Chapter 3
The Soul- the high heart and mind
Limbic Areas that are typically ​included​ in the ​limbic system​ fall into two categories but
there’s a missing third component (thymus):
●
●
RAS= HPA & ACC (body & brain= ​brainstem) ​processing​ side and short-term
memory (the limbic cortex (ACC), amygdala, and ​hippocampus
Pons (body & mind = midbrain) which is a small part of the brain above the pons
that integrates sensory information and relays it upward (RAS). In terms of
long​–​term​ physiological changes, it is also associated with long-term ​memory​.

●
●
Thymus (high heart & mind= soul) a connection of perception between all affective
and behavioral cognitive experiences on a cellular level including the mainstream
universal emotions of anger, strength, joy, bliss, shame, courage, compassion,
and harmony and relays it upward (PONS). It’s also where you can find the
“imagination” that lies within all of us.
NOTE: A Dysregulated and Dysfunctional System (​Responsive System
Dysfunction (RSD), ​works in a downward effect from RAS-PONS-THYMUS:

3.1 Biofield illustration

Our Chakra Systems
The chakra spin like a wheel. ​When your child has a Hypo- or Hyper-, Varied Responsive
System Dysfunction (RSD), their learning and motivation (attunement) decreases due to
disconnections to others-themselves along with soul-body disconnection of consciousness.
The hypo- Anger Sympathetic Functional Dominance means certain chakras (usually 1st-8th
chakras) are spinning too fast in which the lower personal self, The hypo- Shame
Parasympathetic Functional Dominance means they are spinning too low, and if varied
Total Functional Dominance the 1st-8th chakras are going deactivated or going inactive.

Note: ​the 8th chakra includes the vagus nerve (thymus), in turn includes alta major and soma
chakras.

Learning Differences ​including Our Electromagnetic System ​affects other parts of the brain
that have a part in some of the most important aspects of learning which includes the following
tasks:
analysis (break down category and sequencing)
sensory processing
memory/learning (short and long term memory)
motor control
autonomy (meaning) and attunement (motivation)
3.3 image Cook’s Brainchat 7/30/20 illustration

Functional System Dominance (FSD)​- when the RAS & ACC (anger)/HPA (shame) and the
brain stem (reptilian brain) regulates our sympathetic (anger) and parasympathetic (shame)
systems as it responds to stress: such as when reading. It also acts as a vehicle for sensory
information. Note: Students with Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (anger-SFD) have
mostly hyper-sensory processing and Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance
(shame-PFD) has hypo-sensory processing. Lastly, it helps to be familiar with the midbrain
(mammalian brain) which includes: medulla oblongata and pons do their jobs effectively such
as…
Basal ganglia​- regulating motor functions. Students with Sympathetic Functional System
Dominance (SFD) have mostly hyper-sensory processing and hyperactivity in their
proprioceptive, somatic, vestibular, and gross-motor abilities (ADHD- hyperactive type &
cerebral palsy) and Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD)- have mostly
hypo-sensory processing and hypoactivity in their proprioceptive, somatic, vestibular, and
fine-motor abilities (ADHD-inattentive type & dysgraphia).
Hippocampus​- The hippocampus helps humans process and retrieve two kinds of memory,
declarative memories, and​ spatial relationships​. Declarative memories are those related to
facts and events. Examples include learning how to memorize speeches or lines in a play.
Spatial relationship memories involve pathways or routes. Spatial relationship memories appear
to be stored in the right hippocampus. The ​hippocamp ​is also where short-term memories are
turned into long-term memories. Relative to the hippocampus , these memories are then stored
as polarities in the brain-experiences and reality of consciousness the past, future and present.
3.4 Light Cone (perceptions of past, present, & future)

*Aside: Interesting Research- on those with memory loss, they did have faster thinning of the
entorhinal cortex due to amyloid level as well as brain shrinkage of the hippocampus
(​Hippocampus and Memory​,​ ​https://apple.news/A0bfYT-YLR2u8kRquMsjKRA​ 4/25/20).
Relevantly, the Wnt pathway has been recognized as critical for the central nervous system
development, several Wnt components retain their expression in the adult brain, including the
hippocampus, and have proven to be fundamental in both the development and function of
synapses (Inestrosa and Arenas, 2010; Inestrosa and Varela-Nallar, 2015). Altogether, these
findings strongly suggest that Wnt signaling might be down-regulated during aging, leading to
increased vulnerability of the neural network and increasing the risk for the onset and
progression of age-related pathologies, such as AD. Wnt inhibitors, including the
secreted-frizzled-related protein 1 and 2 (SFRP-1 and SFRP-2) and Dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1), all them
antagonists at the cell surface. As a result, mice deficient in Dkk-1 exhibit enhanced spatial
working memory and memory consolidation and also show improvements in affective behavior

***Ask me about beta-amyloid plaque build-up, Dkki-1 and dyslexia as well the RAS-conscious
around the age of three, ARAS and God awareness age 21–25 (Montessori, Piaget, and Fowler
research as well today’s research)!!!

Pineal Body, Pituitary & Adrenal Glands ​(see hypothalamus below)- synthesizes melatonin,
serotonin, and dopamine and cortisol which helps you respond to stress (reading for example)
and has many other important functions. Also melatonin studies recently show that melatonin
exhibits many bioactivities, such as antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory characteristics,
boosting immunity, anticancer activity, cardiovascular protection, anti-diabetic, anti-obese,
neuroprotective and anti-aging activity. Note: Students with Sympathetic Functional System
Dominance (SFD) are deficient in dopamine, melatonin, and have hyer-norepinephrine
production (diligence- fight, flight, flee & hyperarousal). Students with Parasympathetic
Functional System Dominance (PFD) are deficient in serotonin, melatonin, and have
hypo-norepinephrine production (hypoarousal, memory retrieval, diligence/motivation-freeze).
Note: The pineal gland helps with a meditative state if the head is covered- it’s great for Calm (I
will write more about calm ahead!
Remember: ​ACC-​ is part of RAS (Pineal Gland, Pituitary Gland-associated with the alta
major chakra), ​HPA-​ Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis (associated with the soma
chakra and both associated to the thymus chakra aka vagus nerve chakra).

accelerated-slow so one and so forth). Students with Parasympathetic Functional System
Dominance (PDF) filters with perceptions of shame, have slow speed processing (also the
controversial- slow cognitive speed tempo) and bypassing the facts needed for short-term
memory (effects sequencing skills, background knowledge)-headed straight to filtering based on
meaning and perceptions (again shame)- short term memory issues are actually a prefrontal
lobe executive functioning issues. Basically, Remember the RAS-alta major chakra, pineal and
pituitary gland (pituitary chakra), crown chakra specifically for Parasympathetic Functional
System Dominance (PFD) & HPA- soma chakra, hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis for
Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (SFD).

The Divine Stamp- Soul & Body
The Spirit
In a deeper sense, the divine stamp is our will to make a transformation by accepting Him, so
we can heal ultimately in courage, compassion, harmony and unconditional love for others, and
mainly ourselves in acceptance of the true mercy and grace of God! Discovering how to live a
blameless and pure life once realizing the issues of learning and relationships HAD TO
HAPPEN and ALL problems with others such as: being the teachers, school and learning,
relatives such as brothers/sisters, or the other kids. It really isn’t others or the neurodifference
itself; It is our understanding of the greater purpose in life so for the greater good to glorify His
Kingdom! It’s our life’s lesson to the journey of learning to glorify God along with gaining his
blessings of Peace, Freedom and Victory.
Key Contemplation​: Stay Blamess & Know It ​ALL​ Had to Happen
Intention​: God awareness and unity
Affirmation​: I AM THAT...I AM SAVED- I AM COVERED IN THESE INTENTIONS IN MY
BODY and SOUL WHICH INCLUDE THOUGHTS, IDEAS, MESSAGES, VIRTUES, FEELINGS,
DREAMS AND VISIONS (see image 4.0)

Image 4.0 Divine Stamp of Spirit Illustration
Pons
image 4.1 Pons Illustration works with RAS ​(*aka God Awareness Chakra)

The pons integrates both the medulla oblongata and the thalamus (NOTE: the importance of
conscious reappraisal of emotions (emotional reappraisal) such as shame/empathy and
anger/strength for the ARAS). In the thalamus, students can have a slow (hypo-), accelerated
(hyper-) or varied processing and they have a problem with sensory integration disorders and
emotional intensity or insensitivity with their neurodifference. Plus, the pons connects areas of
the brain that controls ​autonomic ​functions (parasympathetic (shame) /sympathetic (anger)):
Acting or occurring involuntarily, without conscious control, in the ​somatic nervous system
such as sleep and histamine inhibitors: The part of the ​peripheral​ ​nervous system​ that
transmits signals from the ​central​ ​nervous system​ to skeletal muscles, and from receptors of
external stimuli such as mediating sight, hearing, and touch and movement including speaking
with conscious control (RAS-alta major chakra, crown chakra specifically via the thymus (Vagus
Nerve Chakra)).
Since the pons and the thymus (see below) as well as the RAS work together, Students with
Sympathetic Functional System Dominance (SFD) can have problems “Seeing God” and
“feeling worthy”- for God awareness they need circumstantial​ ​evidence or can go to extreme
become ulta-religious constantly “breaking down” the Bible and religion. Those with a
Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD) have problems “Hearing God '' and
“feeling enough”- for God awareness being calm in the mind- being present and ruminating on
past/future a must. (PONS is addressed more in my ELBERT program: includes PYAM &
RAS exercises body, breath, calm through prayer, yoga, affirmation, and meditation which
connects us to God- see section below). Note: Students with Sympathetic Functional System
Dominance (SFD) and Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD) have high allergy
rates and sleep disturbances (see other complications below).

which contains the Glia, also called glial cells or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the
central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system.
Note: For those with Dysphonetic (auditory) and Dsyeidetic (visual-surface) Dyslexia, the medial
longitudinal fasciculus of the pons ​carries information about the direction that the eyes
should move. It connects the cranial nerve nuclei III (Oculomotor nerve), IV (Trochlear nerve)
and VI (Abducens nerve) together, and integrates movements directed by the gaze centers
(frontal eye field) and information about head movement (from cranial VIII, Vestibulocochlear
nerve- which The vestibulocochlear nerve is unusual in that it primarily consists of bipolar
neurons. It is the nerve responsible for the special senses of ​hearing​ (via the cochlear nerve),
and ​balance​ (via the vestibular nerve). Then the cochlea detects the magnitude and frequency
of sound waves. Students with dyslexia have tendency for speech deficits and chronic ear
infections, auditory as well as visual processing issues and sometimes balance and ​conflicting
signals in the inner ear, eyes, and sensory receptors​.

Thymus
image 4.2 thymus illustration works with RAS illustration

Thymus- ​Upper or Higher Heart Chakra ​(*aka God Unity Chakra, Ascension Chakra, Vagus
Nerve Chakra). ​It is known as “the seat of the soul” or the mind for the fact that it: holds a
record of traumatic or painful events, dimensional to the subliminal content (see intelligence
model below) and ancestral narration. Chakra, also called the ascended heart chakra, is
connected with an organ: the thymus gland which before birth and throughout childhood, the
thymus is instrumental in the production and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells, a specific
type of white blood ​cell​ that protects the ​body​ from certain threats, including viruses and
infections; It plays a ​role​ in immunity, ​autoimmunity​, and aging (it’s basically our twin flame and
fountain of youth). It’s a connection of perception between all affective and behavioral cognitive
experiences including the mainstream universal emotions of anger and shame on that of the
pons, RAS (ARAS), vagus nerve and gut brain axis. It’s the fire [sacred fire] that gives us our
purpose for God awareness and unity intelligence (knowledge) connection. A healthy thymus
gives us system regulation or unhealthy thymus system dysregulation (disintegration) of all our
systems: contents, models and operations amongst our very own body, mind and spirit (see
cubed model of intelligence illustration below).
“The core is not developing the new chakra-system, but rather ​to expand your
consciousness beyond what is perceived by the monkey mind​.”
https://ourangelsguidanceblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/13/the-12-chakra-system-an
d-twinflame-process/;​ ​https://www.energiasoi.com
If you are questioning if the thymus houses the mind, then ask yourself have you
ever felt or thought something outside your own consciousness (maybe you found
something out as you were journaling)? Try asking yourself is this true?

Nurture
The Body
Chapter 5
Nurture- is the adaptation of children responding to the demands of the environment in ways
that meet their own goals and function in a safe and secure way. Children with learning
differences have deficits in brain plasticity- The brain’s remarkable ability to rewire itself
throughout a person’s life is known as ​plasticity. ​The goal is ​spiritual mindsight ​and
self-directed neuroplasticity- ​a child who has healthy neuroplasticity can heal their DNA via
the thymus- vagus nerve chakra, and RAS & ACC/HPA including the​ connection​ to the
consciousness (God awareness) and ​consistently​ being provided a ​safe, supportive, healthy,
and loving environment​ [To prevent kids from learning from primarily from learning with either
their mental, emotional and etheric bodies (anger/shame)]. Along with rewiring their perceptions
and filters of the parasympathetic (shame) and sympathetic (anger) response system during
stress such as reading, their perceptions of anger and shame are their lens to how they view
and listen to their very own existence in this universe. For anger, they need ​autonomy​ (I am
Worthy) and​ attunement​ for shame (I am Enough)- both need the two Bs: ​body and breath
(see below for more about the ABC’s of Self-directed Neuroplasticity).
Help Young Children Switch OFF Negative Markers Through Their Very Own DNA:
Will Allow Future Generations To Heal & Not Experience The Same Suffering Of
Their Past Ancestors.
- Tricia Cook
Relative to epigenetics, nature and nurturing, the child with neurodifference, it’s the brain nature
and nurture to integrate particular observations (patterns first) into a body to form coherent
knowledge also the organization; primarily, It’s the basis on the child’s need for meaning and
motivation (ask me about autism, Sensory Integration and Executive Functioning issues and/or
disability). Therefore, the adult should make ​observational records ​including an anger and
shame checklist of children’s inductive reasoning and matters of the ​mind ​(discussed more
below) on all children before intervention!! The ​mind ​for instance: anger being replaced with
strength, shame being replaced with empathy and both with love and removal of fear: therefore,
they will increase their ​connection, trust, and love for themselves​ and others. I also touch on
the safe, positive learning environments, toxicity and other environmental factors for instance
you can view some of the activities and exercises:​ ​HERE.

Section 5 ​Physical Plane- (see illustration 5.0 above)
Emotional Body​–Shame Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD)- needs
body/soul connection and attunement for help along with the following:
ACC- which is part of RAS (6-8th chakra) with the Pineal, Pituitary, Carotid Glands, and PONS
area of the brain especially the 8th chakra which is the Crown, 5th & 6th chakra, and Alta Major
Chakra which is known for increasing energy (hyperarousal), also includes VACC involved in
emotional appraisals, cognitive control, and error T. Also, work on the thymus with the thymus
chakra also known as the seat of the soul, vagus nerve chakra, or aka etheric chakra.
Mental Body​– Anger Sympathetic Functional System Dominance- (SFD) needs body/soul
consciousness, connection, and autonomy for help along with the following:
HPA- Part of the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal axis which is part of RAS (6-8th chakra) along
with the 4th chakra especially the 7th chakra and 8th which is the Crown, Pituitary and Soma

Chakra (right behind 3rd eye) which is known for decreasing energy (hypoarousal) and
increasing consciousness.
Note: The ​HPA axis​ is responsible for the neuroendocrine adaptation component of the stress
response. Also, work on the thymus with the thymus chakra also known as the seat of the soul,
vagus nerve chakra, or aka etheric chakra (see below).
Etheric Body​– Anger/Shame has problems with both the emotional and mental body (mind)
see Total Functional System Dominance (TFD)- needs Body-Soul Connection for help along
either the following:
RAS including ACC/HPA along with chakras 6–8th includes the Pineal & Pituitary Gland, PONS
part of the brain, Crown, Pituitary and Alta Major/Soma Chakra (Cingulate Gyrus- the cingulate
gyrus is a large arch-like lobe in the center of the inner ​brain​ that is a part of the limbic system.
This area of the ​brain​ functions to process conscious emotional experience).
Also RAS (6-8th chakra) especially the 8th chakra which mainly is part of the brainstem via the
vagus nerve (thymus- vagus nerve chakra) involved in arousal (hyper-hypo) which helps to
learn such as focus/attention, sensory integration, hormones released, speed processing, LT/ST
memory, vigilance/motivation, and overall (hypo-, hyper-, & varied) arousal, sleep and
wakefulness, and control of reflexes. Also, work on the thymus with the thymus chakra also
known as the seat of the soul, vagus nerve chakra.

Scotopic Light Sensitivity). They can have Autism with varied learning differences.
Note: I have observed Autism, varied speed processing, and sensory processing issues
(exercises for these-see below for more information including Total Functional System
Dominance)​. Therefore, the information of learning gets scattered throughout the brain from
lobe to lobe; Hence, when doing hands-on-healing, I’ve felt that the energy gets scattered
throughout the brain and feels like scattered energy in the palms of the hands of someone with
Autism. Also, for anyone, if the crown, third eye, throat and alta major chakras start to go
hyopactivating or hyperactiving then you will get a migraine, vision problems, memory problems,

“brain fog” and allergies. Most meditative practices including breathing techniques, 528Hz
frequency of sound healing therapy, and Kundalini yoga is good for this.
The Soul
Cook’s Alternatives and Suggestions for Lateral
Functional System Dominance
You might need to contact me for help if you or your child/student can’t be reached
and seems disconnected; Also, when it comes to learning, they show some or all of
the following emotions and challenges: anger, frustration, shame, and sadness; has
chronic headaches, stomach aches, hives; appears to have low-self esteem; squints
when reading; feels behind or "different" than the other kids; has behavioral and
learning challenges; emotionally intense or desensitized; complains; thrives for
constant attention; labeled emotionally intense, gifted and talented or
twice-exceptional; has trouble focusing or paying attention; destroys their pencil,
eraser, and crumples up their paper after working very hard; problems with
organization or being on time; poor eye-contact, body-space awareness; sleep and/or
digestive problems; has problems spelling or with handwriting; complete
interest-based learner; grips pencil very hard; has glasses but still complains about
not seeing the letters or words, ultra-sensitive, problems with authority; doodles on
paper; problems understanding verbal directions; picks and scratches at their skin
and nails; can be needy, clingy, and "whinny"; described as dramatic, creative and
very imaginative by others; been or going to be held back in school; has trouble
connecting to others; tired all the time; great with verbal comprehension and large
lexicon, shows anxiety, anxiousness or depression; overactive-reads, writes, moves,
and thinks extremely fast or slow; sensory-processing problems or issues; constantly
moving hands/feet or fidgeting; overly kind or pleasing others; considerably 'moody';
known for "daydreaming"; aggressive and violent; gets low grades: yet, highly
intelligent; can comprehend well but has trouble with spelling/reading fluency;

adverse to learning or trying something new (resilience) as well as low in
motivation!
When we have​ sympathetic (​anger) and ​parasympathetic​ (shame) functional system
dysfunction and this speed shifting tires out the brain much quicker than the balanced learning
brain. Mostly checked marked on both columns, then ​Total Functional System Dominance
(anger/shame) which ​is actually due RAS (chakras 6-8) and to constant speed shifting
(accelerated/slow and varied) of the prefrontal lobe along with midbrain (left/right lobe) and
information doesn’t know where to go which is due to poor (body) sleep, diet, lack of physical
activity, sickness, color deprivation, emotional intensity or desensitivity dysfunction of Vagus

Nerve and RAS; (spirit) connection, attunement; (mind) autonomy, trust, content switching,
multi-tasking, sensory overload along consistently multi-tasking or context-switching (handling 2
or more tasks at the same time) especially in this complex, non-connected, neurotoxic and EMF
toxic infused environment- bioelectromagnetism and again complicated and disconnected world
that we live in. The glass overflows-we see digression and misalignments.
Anger= Sympathetic Functional System Dominance​– Student has overstimulated,
hyperspinning of the chakras: including Soma and RAS (chakras 6–8th) hyperactivated), or
stopped altogether (deactivated) causing abnormal neuroplasticity via the vagus nerve. Plus,
pathogens from the intestinal tract cause harm from problems with the thymus. Note: also varied
from trying to regulate, align, equalize by moving from accelerated-slow so one and so forth.
Goal is to regulate the deactivated or hyperactive chakras by slowing down the needed chakras
(see below).
Do number #3 for anger/strength, and # 5 for hatred/courage, #2 for peace/bliss then do #7
(visual-I see): lastly, end in RAS do #8 do 6–8th and soma together for the unity of abundance,
unconditional love & I’m worthy! Note: #8 is also (visual- I see) and the Higher Heart Chakra
with pink quartz or pink tourmaline (thymus chakra) for I see God. I am worthy. Others can now
see me too!
Students with Anger Sympathetic System Function Dominance…Therefore, hyper-sensory
processing, accelerated and varied speed processing will be regulated!!! Students will no longer
have — Known as being analytical-literal, verbal linguistic, strong auditory processing,
logical-mathematical, 2-D learner and constantly breaking down information and the small
details (good in maths, especially computations and written comprehension as well). Needing
Autonomy- ex. I can do it! I am Worthy! Under stress, is known for fight-or-flight, flee response
which is a physiological reactive response. They can be ultra-religious or non-religious. Their
“love language” is action based! They consider what they do (actions) for God and vice versa
along with being instant on answered prayers.
Note: Students with Sympathetic System Function Dominance have a serotonin deficit;
therefore, have lessened pleasure, relaxation, contentment and sensitivity (meaning).
Speaking of the heart and not feeling “worthy”- They may have problems with receiving
strength, knowledge, faith, reverence, obedience (lust, hatred, jealousy, envy), perception (gives
resistance, judgment based off logic (outward appearances, not seeing the heart of someone),
patience, courage, abundance, empowerment, attachment and autonomy, entrapment (desire,
lust, fear), release (courage, trust), transformation (acceptance, harmony), revelation
(unconditional love) or transfiguration (joy). Again, they need the soma and RAS #8 chakra
(chakras 6th-8th).
Response: Better with short-term memory using habits and addictions based off of facts,
forms/functions. They tend to focus again on the present and immediate situation. Which
dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve and RAS and the soma chakra leads to negative perceptions

and meaning of being angry– dominance, fight/flight (flee) and accelerated speed and varied
processing.
Hyper-proprioceptive, somatic and vestibular (hyper-gross motor ability (cerebral palsy). They
are active and about doing things.
Hyer-norepinephrine (diligence- fight, flight, flee & hyperarousal). Reactive with anger and have
hyper-speed (accelerated) processing and long-term memory issues. If they have autism, they
are known as `runners”. They think of the present and reacting instantly gets them to the
“What?” much faster. The “what” is the most important factor for gaining meaning. Therefore, for
them the “why” is not as important to answer for they use the scientific method of deductive
reasoning. They learn best from movement and “doing” including auditory experiences and
lectures, as well from reading and listening to others knowledge and information, analyzing
“facts” and circumstantial evidence, and then formulating their theory and hypothesis.
Hyper-visual processing leading to convergence and other visual processing issues (Third-eye
chakra #6, Pons area of the brain-Soma chakra, #8 for RAS). Both: Left-Lateral Dominance=
Autism can have Irlen Syndrome which is a problem processing light (more common).
See graph below- If your body is toxic, it cannot maintain health such as Autoimmune diseases.
Stimulating your liver with the detoxification layout releases toxins and encourages your
lymphatic system to remove them, bringing about a physical cleansing. A Yellow Jasper or
Obsidian at your solar plexus stimulates an emotional detox as well. This with Smoky Quartz,
Drusy Chrysocolla energetically stimulates liver function and moves heavy metals out of the
body.
Also, it leads to abnormal neuroplasticity. They need the ABC’s of Self-Directed Neuroplasticity
(See Below)
Shame= Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance​– Student has understimulated,
hypospinning of the chakras: including Alta Major and RAS (chakras 6–8 are hypoactive ), or
inactive, stopped altogether (deactivated) causing abnormal neuroplasticity via the vagus nerve.
Plus, pathogens from the intestinal tract cause harm from problems with the thymus. Note: also
varied from trying to regulate, align, equalize by moving from slow-accelerated so one and so
forth. Goal is to stimulate the deactivated or hypoactive chakras by speeding up the needed
chakras (see below).
Do number #1 for shame/empathy, and #4 for grief/compassion, and #2 for peace/bliss, & then
do #6 (auditory- speaking, hear & listen); lastly, for RAS do #8 do 6–8th and alta major together
for the unity of abundance, unconditional love & I’m enough! Note: #8 is also (auditory-

speaking, hear & listen) and the Higher Heart Chakra (thymus chakra) with moonstone for I hear
and speak of God. I am enough. Others now listen, hear/speak to me too!
Students with Shame a Parasympathetic System Function Dominance…Therefore,
hypo-sensory processing, slow and varied speed processing will be regulated!!! Students will no
longer have — Known as being evaluative- visual spatial reasoning (good with geometry and
maps and geography, computer graphics) learns best by “doing”, “whole-picture”, “out-side of
the box” thinkers, 3-D learner and constantly getting “the big picture”.
Needing Attunement- ex. I am Enough. Under stress, is known to freeze and “rest and digest”
response which is related to the autonomic nervous system. They can be ultra-spiritual. They
consider how they feel for God. Their “love language” are words of affirmation based! They have
a strong faith in God but feel not enough.
Note: Students with Parasympathetic System Function Dominance have a dopamine deficit;
therefore, have lessened pleasure, reward, motivation, and euphoria (meaning and motivation).
Speaking of the heart and not feeling “enough”- They may have problems with receiving
empathy, wisdom, hope, power, willingness, intuition, destruction (death, guilt, shame),
entrapment (desire, lust, fear), release (courage, trust), transformation (acceptance, harmony),
revelation (unconditional love) or transfiguration (joy), surrendering (due to pride), acceptance
(gives resistance, judgment based off evaluation (outward appearances, not
listening/hearing/speaking to the heart of someone), compassion, beauty, joy, mercy,
attachment and attunement. Again, they need the alta major and RAS #8 chakra chakras
6th-8th).
Response: Better with long term memory based off of perceptions and choices for meaning
(past and future) and motivation (autonomy and attunement), based on past experience and
need for future reference. Therefore, they tend to focus and filter based on the past/future. With
dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve and RAS and the alta major chakra, this leads to filters of
shame, subordinance, freeze, and slow speed and varied processing.
Hypo-proprioceptive, somatic and vestibular (hypo fine-motor ability dysgraphia). They can be
considered less active and have poor handwriting.
Hypo-norepinephrine (diligence-freeze, hypoarousal, mainly; poor short-term memory retrieval).
Filters with shame and have slow speed processing (the controversial low cognitive speed) and
short-term memory issues. Remember, they are thinking of the past/future not so much the
present. Their meaning is not present related as much as the need for the future and past. The
“Why?” is the most important factor for gaining meaning. Therefore, for them the “why” is
important to answer. Therefore, for them the “what” is not as important to answer for they use
the scientific method of inductive reasoning from specific observations and intuitions to make
broad generalizations. They learn best from movement with gross motor and tactile experience,
as well from “doing” by experiencing visual observations, formulating their own theory and
hypothesis, and verbalized conclusions and confirmations.

Right-lateral dominance: Dyslexia, aspergers, can have language deficits including dysnomia,
dyspraxia (speech) and even dysphasia with both possibly having dyscalculia. Right-Lateral
Dominance= Autism can have language deficits including dyspraxia (speech disability) and even
dysphasia with both possibly having dyscalculia (less common).
Hypo-auditory processing leading to dyslexia and other central auditory processing issues and
sometimes a dyspraxia (speech disability) (Throat #5, Pons area of the brain-Alta major chakra
#8 RAS (chakras 6th-8th).
Also, it leads to abnormal neuroplasticity. They need the ABC’s of Self-Directed Neuroplasticity
(See Below)
NOTE: ​Total Functional System Dominance ​can have all dysregulation diagnosis (They need
Exercises & Activities for Lateral (Para/Sym-above) & Total Functioning System Dominance). It
is for the mind, senses, body and spirit: On a physical and mental level, the goal is the vagus
nerve and RAS & ACC/HPA to be functioning in alignment in the chakra system and balance of
electromagnetism with mainly complementary to medicine such as: On a physical, mind and
sensorial​ level, color/sound therapy, yoga, meditation, prayer/praise & worship, affirmations and
breathing techniques. On a metaphysical and spiritual level, they can gain autonomy and
attunement, release anger and/or shame and replace with strength and empathy to have
bliss/peace, harmony, gratitude, comfort and unconditional love along with removing all fear and

Cook’s Theory of a Daily Functional System Regulation (child- DFSR) or Complete
Functional System Regulation (adult- CFSR)
If you use 10-25 percent of your brain power and you nurture our nature, you can do
exercises and activities on the thymus, pons and RAS including God awareness along
with healing DNA and the lower personal self (for children- different for adults ages 24
plus); then, as an adult you could reverse a dysfunctional system and have a complete
functional system regulation: Therefore, you can focus on higher transpersonal self by
healing your DNA by unlocking the rest of your (yourself & family- line) God-head unity
(twin flame) of glory, victory including increasing your brainpower, super genius, or
possibly acquire psychic powers like mind reading and telekinesis while reducing illness,
learning differences, relationship problems, etc…-Tricia Cook

The Body & Soul (the heart & mind)
Chapter 6
Speaking of the mind along with not feeling “enough”nor “worthy” — those with neurodiverse
may have problems with receiving empathy, wisdom, hope, power, willingness, intuition,
destruction (death, guilt, shame), entrapment (desire, lust, fear), release (courage, trust),
transformation (acceptance, harmony), revelation (unconditional love) or transfiguration (joy),
surrendering (due to pride), acceptance (gives resistance, judgment based off evaluation
(outward appearances, not listening/hearing/speaking to the heart of someone), lacking
compassion, beauty, joy, mercy, attachment and attunement. Again, they need the alta major
and RAS #8 chakra (chakras 6th-8th). This can be very troubling for the child as well as the
carer of that child. A troubled body and mind is not what we want nor what God wants for us!
We want comfort and peace that the Word has told of Jesus’ gifts, the Holy Spirit transforming

our wishes, and God’s promises of blessings and miracles! ​Roman 15:13; ​2 Corinthians 12:9
(ERV)​ ​ Also, ​Primordial Needs​ are our blessings and treasures due to God's mercy and grace
which includes God's Trust/Gifts and Truth/Wishes: Blessings/Miracles (promise) that will
happen on a body, mind and spirit level! Is your child having a hard time learning from you? Are
they angry or weepy (shame) especially when it comes to teaching your child? Here are some
intents and prayers of Acceptance of God’s own/others gifts, wishes, values, ideas, thoughts,
and perspectives (blessings/miracles) upon you, your child’s carer. Note: These can help you to
accept and not resist or judge the circumstances but know it ​had to happen.
The Body (Gifts)
The body and mind (Christ) & trust His gifts (Jesus- for adults chakras 1-8)- ​With Jesus
(gift), ​ ​Positive body and soul which the Eyes that sees and hears the Truth (word) intentes:
strength/empathy
comfort/joy
courage/compassion
bliss/harmony
gratitude/goodness
Prayer: ​God, please have mercy on us, I’m asking for Jesus to come into my heart, body and
mind. Please come to my aid to give me the ability to see and feel courage and compassion
also intercede for me to release fear and attain unconditional love. God, I trust in my gifts from
you. Thanks for giving me the gift of wisdom. Right now it’s the wisdom of acceptance that I
need. I am in acceptance of God’s own/others values, ideas, thoughts, and perspectives as
well as gifts of _____________[what you need from above]. God, what’s my gift?
The Soul (Wishes)
SOUL and the Heart (Holy Spirit) and Truth/Wishes (The Holy Spirit for adults chakras
9-11)- ​With Holy Spirit (wish), Positive Soul with Upper Heart (thymus) and Soul that feels Trust
intents:
righteousness/peace
knowledge/wisdom

grace/mercy
hope/faith
freedom/forgiveness
Prayer: ​ God, I’m asking for the Holy Spirit to come and bless us without wishes. Also to my
aid to give me the ability to listen and feel mercy and grace and also intercede for me to have
abundance and devotion.​ ​God, There is truth in having wishes. I wish for hope. I ask for my
peace, joy, bliss, harmony, gratitude, goodness, and righteousness, as well as gifts of
_____________[what you need from above]. I love you and want to better serve you, God. God,
what’s my wish?
The Spirit (Blessings and Miracles Promised)
Trust/Gifts and Truth/Wishes lead to miracles His Promise​ (​God for adults chakras 12th​)​-
With God (blessing), then Spirit can see, hear and feel in unity God’s Heart (miracle) ​intents​:
Righteousness/Beauty
Blameless/Pure
Gratitude/Harmony
Integrity/Mercy
Unconditional/Perfect Love
Prayer: ​God, again I’m asking for miracles of feeling freedom and forgiveness.​ ​God, I
understand you promised many miracles and blessings. Thank you for all my blessings. God,
what’s my miracle? (listen to Your Spirit)- feel your spirit. What do I feel today? God, please help
me to feel my spirit and allow Curiosity, Blamelessness, and Purity which the key to life lead me
closer to you and feel you. Also please help me make my personal angels make themselves
known to me. Lastly, God, what’s my question?
We pray that God himself, the God of peace, will make you pure [and
blameless]—belonging only to him. We pray that your whole self—spirit, soul, and
body—will be kept safe and be [pure] and blameless when our Lord Jesus Christ comes.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (ERV)
Let me tell you about the ABCs of self-directed neuroplasticity, and more posts on the go. The
ABC’s of Spiritual Mindset and Self-directed Neuroplasticity along with the trust of the body,
soul, and spirit. They can be hard to heal due to each individual’s circumstances, experiences,

and attitudes. They can be hard because the anger/shame and hatred/grief responses are
survival tools and actually work for some people. To a point, where it doesn’t work for them any
longer and can be actually harmful to their and others’ safety. They have to want to release,
heal and lose control to gain connection. Plus, the findings on epigenetics (above) let us know
the epigenome can be something temporary. This is why RAS which includes the alta major
chakra and the ACC/HPA with soma chakra takes awareness, work and needs to be “worked on
daily”. No worries, I will give you ways in the revolutionary program, ELBERT and I’m here to
coach you along the way to heal your DNA- ​for generations can benefit​ ​from revolutionary
teaching!​ Again, awareness including knowledge and wisdom, controlling chemical markers,
and matters of the ​body,​ ​heart​, and ​mind​ are key to all this change.
Marmas- OUR BODY POINTS OF LIGHT
Toxicity​ of negative thoughts, feelings and ideas ​causes blockages in the marmas and nadis
(see the pons and peripheral nervous system along with the thymus above in ch. 4). Positive
thoughts fire and wire together; meaning, when you're learning the assimilation and
accommodations done in the brain will be perceived in empathy and strength (children) or
courage and compassion (adults) or whatever affirmation or positive intent practiced most often.
The toxicity and flow of chi (balance of the chakras) again affects the way our genes are
expressed, genetic markers and creates epitome. [accessed 12/31/2020] ​https://pin.it/2hhVUOp

Note: Think of the body as the four pillars or sides of a pyramid are closely connected to
the symbolism of the TREE (Tree of Life); it also represents stability, and a broken pillar
represents death and mortality (Jesus’ Salvation). In the Hebrew and Christian traditions,
pillars of FIRE (Sacred Fire) and smoke signify the presence of God, and God punished
Lot by changing his wife into a pillar of salt. The Tree is also represented with 3 pillars
based on Kabbalah (Gnosis) includes 3 pillars: The book of creation 22 Hebrew letters
which consist of God Consciousness at the head (crown) and root (our physical being).
The 3 pillars: Left pillar of Severity-Wisdom (Yin) is masculine (new brain-native
american), Right pillar of Mercy-Understand (Yang) is femine (old brain- native american).
Prayer, meditation, and studying the Torah/Bible (10 zipoph) which leads to true
spiritually will Balance-Will the pillars (YinYang). Other representations: The body is
Jesus, the heart is Mary (for Catholics), the mind is The Holy Spirit of God!! We are made
wonderful, actually perfect!
“But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
Matthew 5:48 NLT
https://www.bible.com/116/mat.5.48.nlt
Note​: illustration 5.1 All three types of having a Functional System of Dominance (FSD) are
about the ABC’S of Self-directed Neuroplasticity:

Affective: Affirmations and Attunement
Behavioral: Body and Breath
Cognitive: Connection, Curiosity, and Consistency
Spiritual: Safe and Supportive
What most people don’t know! Losing Connection Is On A Soul-Cellular Level; Mainly,
Due To Pleading Disparagement and Needing to Gain Trust Your Mind, Others and Mainly
Yourself (God).
Disparagement​- is expression of a low opinion of someone’s thoughts, ideas, & feelings which
causes anger and shame contributing to the biggest offense to someone’s soul. You’ve heard
the saying. ‘those who have shame, shame others; likewise those you have attract shameful
experiences.’ Every cell in your body holds hundreds of pages of information on all levels of
your being: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Cellular memory is a theory that the
body’s cells retain memories independently from the brain but the mind (thymus). Similarly, the
glia, (also called glial cells or neuroglia) which are non-neuronal cells, are the bases for the
deeper meaning held in what is lost and needs to be reclaimed- the big picture of our purpose of
being here on earth and conscious connections with God (ARAS).
The goal of the ABC’s is Spiritual Mindsight w/ Self-directed Neuroplasticity!

Again, Neuroplasticity is the capacity of nerve cells to biologically adapt to circumstances, to
change their connections and behaviour in response to new. Most importantly, the
transformations of glia cells is something miraculous with gaining spiritual mind sight.
Observe: ​information presented and environment, sensory stimulation, development, damage,
or dysfunction.
Reinforce:​ Spiritual Mindsight w/
Self Directed Neuroplasticity
Translates:​ To Positive Epigenetic Signatures
Again, the main goal is to heal our very own DNA holistically through exercises and activities
which block or ease the production of specific inflammatory proteins (toxicity) excreted by the
gut-brain axis, decreasing biochemical reactions that happen between the Pineal, Pituitary,
Adrenal & Carotid Glands along with decreasing the RAS & ACC/HPA deficiencies, and
regulating our own biofields (including electromagnetic fields) by activating and aligning the
vagus nerve (via vagus nerve chakra- thymus and pons). This is the divine stamp where you are
regulated and experiencing harmony and devoted to your purpose. You need to again, speaking
of the “whole child”- you need to examine every aspect of their learning, not just the end goal or
result which is literacy and their appropriate learning behavior. Ways to look at neurodifferences
holistically: ​observe ​and take ​observational notes​ on the child…
50% Nature- 50% Nurture (focus on epigenetics and self-directed neuroplasticity with PYAM):

Observe: ​information presented and environment, sensory stimulation, development, damage,
or dysfunction.Another goals, understand the unique learning difference by examining each
child’s neuro-systematic learning functions (All learning goes by these areas and systems:
vagus nerve, frontal lobe (limbic system), brainstem and midbrain, along with cortical
neurosystems) as it relates to the triune brain.
Limbic​– My literacy lesson plan template that includes the multiple intelligences along
with 4 F’s: Facts, Forms/Functions, Feelings & Future. Note: Limbic Areas that are
typically ​included​ in the ​limbic system​ fall into two categories. … and (brainstem)
processing​ side and short-term memory (the limbic cortex, amygdala, and ​hippocampus​)
and (midbrain) which is a small part of the brain above the pons that integrates sensory
information and relays it upward. In terms of ​long​–​term​ physiological changes, it is also
associated with long-term ​memory​. For assessment and ongoing evaluation, I use a rapid
word and letter-sound recall checklist, plus some informal observations included in the
lesson plans-mentioned above.

https://www.canva.com/design/DAERokhITS8/BA5PejOhW75eJ83GBvc5YA/view
Brainstem​– I have a fight, flight, flee and freeze PARA/SYMP observational checklist
which includes alternative and holistic activities and exercises for the release of
stressors and reactivation of the vagus nerve (vagus nerve chakra-thymus) to the body
for instance: prayer, yoga, affirmations, meditation, breathing, emotional coaching
exercises and activities that look at the “whole child” and activating the vagus nerve for
instance.

Chapter 7
The Gift- using their strengths
People with Dyslexia​ ​have sound and language processing problems.​ They will struggle to
connect letters to sounds and, mainly problems identifying speech sounds and learning how
they relate to letters and words ​Dsyphonetic (shame- auditory-PFD)​; as well, those with visual
processing problems struggle to understand visual information such as letters, shapes, or
objects and, mainly problems processing graphic symbols​ Dsyeidetic (visual) Dyslexia
(anger- visual-SFD)​. Related to the absorption and processing of sounds [sounds especially
can be omitted from the middle position of words the most because it’s the last sound to be
processed; even though, it’s in the middle position], Therefore, students with dyslexia most
commonly omit letter sounds, words, phrases in the middle position, then the end, and least
commonly the beginning. When they omit, they might do sounds confusions such as
repetition(s), substitution(s), addition(s) or delete altogether, on the other hand
(hypo-shame-PFD); transversal and reversal are more common in students with a visual
processing problem (hyper-anger-SFD)- have them remember: if it doesn’t look or sound right

eread or rewrite till you’re brain feels like “it’s just right” [trust your brain- you are smart, you can
do it, and you are love].
People with Dyslexia also have a high coexistence of ADHD (3 types)​. People with ADHD
and Dyslexia have difficulty processing the basic sounds of language (phonemes) and graphic
symbols causing fluency struggles. They “stumble over words” due to reading and processing
too fast (hyper-anger-SFD)/slow (hypo-shame-PFD); mainly, in the beginning-ending of word,
sentence, paragraph, passage– rest of the time not too fast/slow sometimes it’s “just right” (I call
this “varied reading rate”- Total Functioning Dominance (TFD)). If the prosody, reading rate, and
expression/intonation objective aren’t met and they still don’t seem to comprehend; mainly, in
the beginning-ending of paragraph, passage, etc. have them remember: if it sounds or looks too
fast or slow, or robotic, then adjust your prosody and reading rate by rereading so it will be “just
right” [trust your brain- you are smart, you can do it, and you are love].
Because dyslexia and dysgraphia have a high coexistence too ​and cannot be cured,
students can develop tools and strategies to help their working memory, phonological
awareness, reading, speaking, and spelling. For Spelling, Dsyeidetic (visual-surface dyslexia)
Dyslexia and Dysgraphic (hyper-shame-SFD) students need sound-word knowledge.
Sound-word knowledge is how many letters and how many sounds are in each word. Again,
related to the absorption and processing of sounds, sounds especially can be omitted from
words by the student, students with dyslexia most commonly omit letter sounds, words, phrases
in the middle position, then the end, and least commonly the beginning. When they omit, they
might do repetition(s), substitution(s), addition(s) or delete altogether or fusions, on the other
hand; transversal and reversal are more common in students with a visual processing problem.
After Spelling a word, have them remember: if it doesn’t look or sound right reread or rewrite till
your brain feels like “it’s just right” [trust your brain- you are smart, you can do it, and you are
love].
[They need to check their spelling by counting the letters to see if they added or deleted
any letters. They count the sounds to see if they repeated, substituted, or fused any
sounds to the word.]
People with dyslexia and ADHD- hyperactive type​ (reads/writes similar to those autism and
hyperlexia appearing as dysgraphia​)- They read too fast, they skip over words and lines for
which breaks down comprehension mainly, skips over small sight words (sight word/nonsense
words are hard) about the same level in height (ex. one) and/or reading the end position of a big
word (6 plus letters) by dropping the last part of the word does run-on reading (skipping over
commas, periods), reads robotically with less intonation, and tends to overthink/get
overwhelmed, anxious (hyper-shame-SFD)- needs to fidget or doodle, or rock/move, stand,
when reading also tends to have dsyeidetic (visual dyslexia aka surface dyslexia).
Many people with just dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyslexia along with ADHD​ are notoriously
known for “guessing at words” and stories meaning despite having average/high IQ due to the
dyslexia and ADHD tendencies! They both are having natural universal emotions of learning
(such as anger, shame which need to be replaced with strength and empathy, as well as,

emembering calm). The tendencies change according to the reading, hour day, week, etc..
Also, the tendencies way heavily on if they are sick, hungry, tired, or stressed. Reading can
make them feel ill with headaches, stomach aches/knots, tight shoulders/neck and even dizzy.
These are signs of a Dominance Functioning Issue or ​Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD)!
How do you know if you have ​Dsyeidetic (visual) or Dysphonetic (auditory) Dyslexia?​ ​HERE
image7.1 the complete ​Responsive System Dysfunction (RSD) ​illustration
Thought​: In this next section, think about the high rate adopted/fostered students with learning
differences!
What happens generationally when our shame and anger cup(s) fill up (see image
below)? Generational anger leads us to Sympathetic Functional System Dominance and
generational shame leads us to Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance. You
think I’m talking about only the child’s energy of shame/anger? No…it’s their cups and
those generational before them through the child’s DNA. Anger/shame energies can be
passed through the soul (the mind on a cellular level) and are represented in our DNA to
the student (epigenetics) which is stemming from past familial trauma (generational

maternal/paternal anger, shame, hatred, grief, prenatal emotions, developmental or shock
trauma of having exposure to negatively perceived experiences, and learning difficultiesactually
any of the factors that I mentioned in the first paragraph). As a child, unreleased
anger and shame needs to be replaced with empathy and strength (atonement) and, as
an adult, the anger can be transmuted to hatred that needs to be replaced with courage
and the shame to grief that needs to be released with compassion. This lack of
atonement and not releasing and replacing has led our humanity to so many learning
differences, illnesses, weakness, and possibly even the soul’s death. If we learn to
release fear and replace it with love, God, through our (RAS) Rectangular Activation
System, along asking for forgiveness of our trespasses (not always showing grace and
mercy). He will help us realize and we could only learn how to become closer to Him by
asking Him into our soul. God-Authentic Soul just as we originally had come into this
world which was pure-child-like and blameless. No worries…You will be given an
awakening where His Divine Powers and righteousness become whole- pure and
blameless, if you ask Him.
Can we heal our DNA for future generations or empty the cups of anger and shame?
Notice: You think I’m talking about only the person’s energy of shame/anger? No...it’s
their cups and those generationally before them; anger/shame energies can be passed
through the DNA (epigenetics), stemming from developmental or shock trauma of having

exposure to negatively perceived experiences. Anger leads us to Sympathetic Functional
System Dominance and Shame leads us to Parasympathetic Functional System
Dominance. Again, generationally with our ancestors, unreleased anger and shame being
replaced with empathy and strength has led our humanity to so many learning
differences, illnesses, and even spirits death (condemnation). If we learn to release and
become connected to our God and others, He will help us realize and release our sin,
learn how to become closer to Him and be given His Divine Powers.
Yes...for autonomy you need attunement; for attunement you need atonement!! This is
receiving the gifts, wishes, blessings and miracles for which He has in store for you.
Note: Remember RAS & HPA and hypothalamus/thalamus- sensory processing and the
speed processing of information (includes also the hippocampus- which is in the limbic
system and regulates perceptions of anger/shame, long-term memory). Therefore, our
neurobiology (neurosystems), central and peripheral nervous system, complete chakra
and electromagnetic (biofield) systems are all dysfunctioning simultaneously and
individually at different degrees and causing epigenetic attacks- leading to abnormal
neuroplasticity. Goal is for ALL our systems to function equalized, activited, and
balanced with a dysfunctioning system. Don’t worry our Glass is HALF-Full and we can
still make a change!!! SEE parent and caregiver checklist and questionnaire before the
appendix and holistic-alternative suggestions below!
BETTER WAYS TO NURTURE THEIR VERY OWN NATURE
image 6.2 Cook’s Think of Our Brains as a Computer

Therefore, our “computer systems” aka neurobiology (neurosystems), nervous systems,
complete chakra, and electromagnetic systems are all dysfunctioning simultaneously and
individually at different degrees and causing abnormal neuroplasticity. Goal is for ​ALL​ our
systems to function equalized, activated, and balanced with a dysfunctioning system.
Strengths of a Learning Difference

problems with literacy- needs a systematic, & explicit literacy instruction (possibly multi-sensory)

The Spirit
Section 7
Reinforce:​ Spiritual Mindsight w/ Self Directed Neuroplasticity
Mindsight, a skill we can all develop to break free from mental patterns that get in the way of
living our lives to the fullest; A practical definition of the mind — distilled from a dozen scientific
fields; The triangle of well-being — how to promote a healthy flow between your mind, brain,
and relationships. Self-directed neuroplasticity, then, is the ability for the brain to change itself
depending on how you direct your thoughts, focus, and attention. The “self-directed” piece
refers to your ability to intentionally shape your brain by using it in a specific way to increase
resilience and positive attitude in the face of aversion.
Sound & Color
Color Therapy and Tapping

(shame-red)– reduces shame ​and depression (as well as autistic tendencies); tends to excite us
and inflames our passions, creativity (tap on the collarbones, or massage if hypersensitive).
Sound Frequency: 243.3 (Lam)
(anger-yellow) ​reduces anger and anxiety; represents joy or optimism and can calm you and
help you think more clearly (tap on the top of the middle head on both sides, or massage in a
diamond shape if hypersensitive) Sound Frequency: 243.3 (Lam).
(anger/shame-orange) reduces anger and shame; represents peace, bliss and joy; gives us
calmness of being happy (tap on the crown- top of the head lightly). Sound Frequency: 354.3
(Vam)
(hatred-empathy-green & pink) reduces hatred ​and noise sensitivity; tends to make people feel
loved and protected but also can cause feelings of lethargy (tap on the breastbone, or massage
in a diamond shape if hypersensitive). Sound Frequency: 465.3 (Ram)
(grief-blue- violet below) reduces grief and is associated with immortality and anxiety, courage,
or protection (tap on the throat, or massage if hypersensitive). Sound Frequency: 486.3 (Yam)

Solfeggio can drown out their mind noises and heal the heart and mind. Think about your soul
(heart and mind) as energy and constantly make a hum, by focusing on the vowel sounds, with
each word can be drawn out while your fingers are in either of these intended positions. See
which “feels” right for you. The no right or wrong way! If you have an Anger Sympathetic System
Functional Dominance, do the ones that say Hyper-; Shame Parasympathetic System

Functional Dominance, do the ones that say hypo-; Total Functional System Dominance, do the
ones that say balance.
Marmas- OUR BODY POINTS OF LIGHT
Again, toxicity causes blockages in the marmas and nadis. The toxicity and flow of chi (balance
of the chakras) again affects the way our genes are expressed and creates epitome. Toxicity
can be environmental and in our foods which can affect our learning...read here “Marma points
are energy blockages in the body located at the seventh level of the skin but they convey
messages to the deeper layers and organs and are thus considered the “inner pharmacy of the
body.” There are 117 marma points depending upon the system you follow. When a marma is
sore or sensitive to the touch, there is inflammation or some toxicity (ama). Marmas block the
flow of prana or the vital life force throughout the body (there are 72,000 nadis or pathways in
the body where prana circulates) therefore it is important to unseat, release or clear what is
stuctoon order to promote awareness of the body and mind.”

PYAM DAILY
Speaking of the “whole child”-heard and love this quote, “prayer is talking to God, meditation is
listening [seeing] to God”! Try out mediation for your child with a learning difference. They could
hear positive, loving messages from God when meditating!! “If you are anxious, you are living in
the future. If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are at peace, you are living in
the present. If you are in the present and nervous, you are needing to connect and give up
control. You have to want to release, heal, and lose control to gain connection.” I was diagnosed
with “Central Auditory Processing Disorder'' in 1983. We referred to it as a Learning Disability; at
least, this is how I remember my mom saying it to other people. I went to numerous private
schools in New Orleans, LA (of the ones I actually could “get into''). You think teachers
nowadays don't know about how to help learning differences; just think about 40 some odd
years ago. I struggled to say the least not only academically but socially/emotionally, spiritually,
and every domain of child development. Kids were not forgiving or kind to my slow nature of

learning and my reading/spelling. I was very frustrated, mad and upset, and so were my
teachers. Don’t get me wrong, I had some caring teachers; but even then, they didn’t know how
to help. As I retrained my brain (the rewiring activities for self-directed neuroplasticity-discussed
below to learn in my upper 30’s, there was one component missing which were my true feelings
and God-soul connection). I wasn’t frustrated, mad and upset; but actually I was ​Angry and
Ashamed​ due to abandonment and disparagement to those I “looked up to”, by the people that
trusted and were supposed to be helping and teaching me. Disparagement is a low-opinion of
some else’s thoughts, feelings, and ideas (again the biggest soul offense that someone does
and others allows). I had a Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance. This is why I wish
teachers, my parents and others could have understood me and my strengths…​Read My Story
Here: Brunette-locks and the Three Doors​.
I also touch on the safe and supportive,​ positive​ learning environments, toxicity and other
environmental factors for instance you can view some of the activities and exercises like ​PYAM
DAILY ​(prayer, yoga, affirmations, meditation). In my classes and sessions, I cover the
affirmations of strengths​ [remember to trust your brain and heart and mind: I am smart, I can
do this, I am love]. A neurodifference can be perceived as having “gifts'' such as: We are highly
intelligent and have the ability to use tools and strategies to compensate for struggles to read,
write, or spell. We may excel at thinking of “outside the box” solutions, seeing a problem from
many different sides, and spatial relationships along with the ability to think in 3 dimensions. We
often have intuitive and insightful, well-developed social awareness and emotions (EQ) while
possessing a lexicon of words to help with the synonymous “whys of dyslexia”. We also have
deep and holistic list-form thinking, problem solving and building/constructing abilities, computer
skills and gaming strategies. Lastly, we seek out endeavors of creative, imaginative, visual,
artistic and visionary skills, inventing and innovating pursuits.
Prayer
“Each day, set yourself the task of deliberately withdrawing your attention
from the objective world and of focusing it subjectively. ​The day you achieve
control of the movements of your attention in the subjective world, you are master
of your fate.Our imagination, Neville Goddard taught, is the God-seed and Christ in
you is your imagination: He saw literal and final truth in Psalm 82:6, “Ye are gods.””

xj-4V1eox3ZjD-ch7LjTpL_EnUlBBeSyEWD4Elv2CQNJA6Yza8VTU
When have you asked your child, what positive did you have today?
Where is your focus of attention as being important?
Where is our children’s focus and attention?
Is our focus on being important enough on our own body, mind, and spirit?
In today’s time, is our attention to God and His Word?

Is your focus mainly positivity in attitude and thoughts?
How do you perceive yourself? How do you think others perceive you?
If you have anger, you can have hyperarousal and become frustrated, reactive, impulsive,
irritable, anxious, etc. and if you have shame, you can have hypoarousal and become “shut
down”, sluggish, needy, weepy, avoidant, etc.. You could have these responses normally! This
is why it would be important to practice along with PYAM them (Prayer, Yoga, Affirmations and
Meditation)!! Also, ask me below about the complete adult ELBERT program!! If you know
someone with a learning difference and or stress responses, I’d say focus on releasing anger
and strength and shame and replace it with empathy. Note: The prayer includes meditation and
the yoga includes affirmation.
Goddard Prayer Cont.:
I AM is the self-definition of the absolute, the foundation on which everything rests. I AM is the
first cause-substance. I AM is the self-definition of God.
I AM hath sent me unto you. [Exodus 3:14]
I AM THAT I AM. [Exodus 3:14]
Be still and know that I AM God. [Psalm 46:10]
I AM is a feeling of permanent awareness. The very center of consciousness is the feeling of I
AM. I may forget who I am, where I am, what I am, but I cannot forget that I AM. The awareness
of being remains, regardless of the degree of forgetfulness of who, where and what I am.

ELBERT:​ ​EVERYONE LEARNS BETTER EMBRACING REVOLUTIONARY TEACHING!!!
You need to ​observe​ the student’s sensory acute response to stress and interview teachers the
child, and parents, observe input/output of motor, verbal, and written behaviors in response to a
literacy activity such as a phonics inventory, word- sound knowledge, phonological awareness
exercises, and working memory activities along with the student’s interest survey and overall
behaviors based on executive, somatic and autonomic functioning. My program is named
ELBERT based on ​see in store is based off my book:​ HERE​ ​and includes the important help
for the triune brain which includes the following: ​Brainstem-​ I have a fight, flight and freeze
sympathetic/parasympathetic observational checklist; ​Midbrain-​ a screening for vestibular,
proprioceptive, somatic issues, along with speech/language development, auditory and visual
processing; ​Limbic-​ My lesson plan template that includes the 4 F’s: Facts, Forms/Functions,

Feelings & Future along with a progress monitoring tool; ​Cordial-​ holistic, alternative
suggestions for taking care of the whole child’s individual, dynamic needs. Lastly, my program,
E​LBERT, includes a self-guided literacy intervention program, along with other coaching
through a course on understanding Dyslexia and consulting (first one Free)!

Notes:

By Pearson Education Development Group, Sam Blackman or ONLINE:
http://literacynet.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html
Although Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences (MI) is over a decade old,
teachers are still trying to find the best way to use this theory to assess students with
different styles of learning and varied academic strengths. Multiple Intelligences shape
the way students understand, process, and use information.

Summary
Lastly, the RAS (ARAS) is our consciousness and how we make our thoughts, ideas, focuses,
intents, or dreams into reality. It’s again in coordination with our thymus, and pons along with
the soma/alta major chakras for consciousness-awareness of soul, meaning God’s perceptions
and our purpose. Also, I think about where do I have my focus and priorities (God, family and
friends, music/art, the opportunity to be nature, etc.)! Those that get the meaning of life (their
purpose) can then experience all of God miraculous blessings- such as peace, comfort, bliss for
eternity!! The harmony of us ALL having this understanding, and coming back to the meaning of
“The SOUL'' would truly be heaven on earth. In my program, I give the focus and intent of each
activity; but when you, yourself, hears and sees from God- note: your focus as long it’s from

God is always Good (even if it changes from my own personal perspective)!!! Lastly, I believe in
a UNITED EARTH, so I try to represent “the East and the West'' as not being separate- ONE
EARTH. Where Only God can make us “whole”, we are all humans with the same smiles, tears,
sadness, laughter, and neurodifferences. If we ALL focused and found importance in love and
healing, this planet would be even more divinely miraculous (focus on emotional reappraisal).
Therefore, love is the answer to heaven on earth.
“…that you will see the difference between what is important and what is not and choose what is
important; that you will be pure and blameless for the coming of Christ;…” Philippians 1:10 ERV
