We were graced by the presence of Dr. Kamta, a highly acclaimed brain surgeon, and listened to a lecture of his on how the mind works and the profound effect it has on our daily and professional lives.
One of the first things Dr. Kamta said during his lecture was that positive thoughts attract positive things. He then elaborated a little on the matter. He also said that there are certain energies; positive and negative. Depending on the vibrations we, as human beings give off, we attract good or bad things and events to us.
Dr. Kamta also gave away a few tips on how to remember more easily. Following are some of these tips. After learning new materials, for example after a lecture, review this straight away. Read it immediately after class, just to jog the memory when it is fresh in your mind. Take care to make proper notes during lectures or seminars When reading, review what you have read after each page to ensure that you fully comprehend what you have read. When learning from books or notes try to reproduce drawings and diagrams from memory in order to check whether you have acquired the knowledge.
The differences between human and being were also explained clearly. We are not only human, we are also something else. The human part of a human being is the body itself whereas the being is what powers the body, makes it think and speak. This is of which there are many levels which have not been discovered and cannot yet be fully comprehended by us. The mind is much more complex than we think. This is clearly illustrated when after a person is pronounced clinically dead, miraculously comes back alive and can tell word for word what was said and happened in the operating room during the period he was clinically dead. There is another level our mind can bring us to and it cannot be fully comprehended.
Dr. Kamta ended his lecture on a funny note and I quote: "What is mind, doesn't matter. What is matter, never mind".
