 Meditation is Beneficial, but NOT a Rapid Transformation Tool As the Omega Mind Program reaches many more people, we frequently get questions about “deep meditation.” Does this program help me meditate deeply? Other programs or software claim I’ll get to instant Zen states or have Monk-like meditation. Will I quickly find true bliss in life?
This is a rather rich and complicated question. Since many people have asked, I thought I’d post my thoughts.
Generally, yes, the Omega Mind Program helps you meditate very deeply and provides the guardrails and on-ramp to get there quickly and effectively. However, our goal with this program isn’t deep meditation. We are trying to transform lives and get brains to rewire themselves. Meditation-like states, for us, are ONE of the tools to help get there.
The Monk’s Life
A Zen Monk may ultimately achieve, or rather, drift into, a state of bliss. They master mind states with mentoring, practice and tuned, gentle, mastery of their will, attention, and intention. These monks often have a lifestyle of simplicity, quietude, meditation, and service. They let go of most attachments to the world, to people, to things, and cease grasping at the concepts that swirl through the world around them. From this baseline, they follow a spiritually informed path that often leads to deep contentment and what we might call bliss. As this is their life’s goal, they often do find what can be called bliss.

 What do facts and truth have to do with personal growth?
Many books have been written and dance around this topic. I’ll cover a lot of ground quickly and give you the key points to help you escape what I call the Truth Trap. Give me some time, and put aside your doubts while your reading. Understanding the nature of what is in your head is worth the investment of your time and mind. In the end, keep what you like, discard what you don’t.
Our brains are wired to examine our surroundings, draw conclusions, repeat the decisions that work, and replace those that don’t. Early learning, memorization, experience wit h the world, along with our brain’s tendencies, combine to create the fact-based brain. Our schools impart essential shared “knowledge” that is necessary to function well as a society. In an effort to live socially and standardize, we face correct/incorrect, right/wrong, and true/false perspectives constantly. All of this reinforces a fact-based ecosystem of thought. From this environment and the wiring tendency in our brain, we form the basis of the absolute real world in our head. We learn to treat almost everything in our minds as either facts in principal or quasi-facts that serve the same role in practice. We conversationally attest to uncertainty and openness, but we think and act as though our minds are stuffed with immutable facts.
I’ve had to completely rewire my own brain, as I once believed in facts. In very abbreviated form, I held the philosophical view that knowledge is fully possible, since if even one piece of the universe cannot be known, it leads to a problem that nothing can be truly known. I recognized that in practice, much was unknowable, but placed high value on that which I thought I knew. I believed in principal everything could be logically snapped together, even if the logic would be fuzzy in some areas. This perspective seemed more than reasonable at the time.

  Just Listen to Reprogram Your Brain There are a wide variety of products and programs that offer to help you grow and achieve in various ways. Many of these programs offer substantial benefits over a period of weeks or months. Very few personal growth approaches offer significant long term change and help you operate at a higher level. The market is also saturated with copycat products and simplistic placebos. This has ultimately convinced many people that the personal development and self-help field is less than wonderful.
I have tried and reviewed many of these and look for the theory and core efficacy in every offering and technique. In every article, book, or study, I look for repeatable gains and benefits. Though many products and individual techniques offer some benefits, none offer the long term potential I believe is possible. I’ve always believed personal development programs could be taken to vastly improved levels. The journey and commitment is still long, but the accumulated results could be much greater.
Over time, I’ve used passionate curiosity and mental rigor as a guide. I discuss and validate the concepts at length, including working with psychiatrists and psychologists to get their perspective on these non-medical products. My current theory and perspective in personal development builds on many great teachers, researchers, leaders, and thinkers.
I have gradually synthesized a hybrid neurological, psychological, and developmental framework for human growth and achievement. For over three decades, I have been creating programs of various types to help people in their quest for personal growth and achievement.

 Neural Networks and Myelination I’ve always pondered why personality can seem so fixed and relatively immutable, even when the individual seems committed to change themselves. As with many things I’ve studied about people over time, a strong neurological aspect appears underpin the highly stable personality/psychological constructs.
After reading Daniel Coyle’s book, “The Talent Code,” I see another possible good explanation. The key aspects of his work relevant to us:
- There are two factors that influence brain performance when myelination is strong. First, the nerves transmit much faster, up to 100 times as fast. Secondly, late arriving signals in the brain, those that didn’t take the faster myelin routes, are generally ignored when they do complete, if a substantial number of the faster myelination paths have already fired.
- The effect is that highly learned pathways become super-highways of the brain. The local streets, where you walk around at one one-hundredth the speed, are essentially ignored whenever you activate the super-highways. Once built, the super-highway owns much of your thought and behavior. That may be what you want for golf or violin, where there isn’t time to be consciously choosing each motion, but not so much for your personality.
I’ll now give you my synthesis on what this means to us in our core personality and being.

The Secret Brain Transformation Program employs intensely powerful techniques, leveraging recent theory in brain and neuroscience to dramatically extend time-tested and proven self-improvement and transformation methods.
What do I get? What should I expect?
This program guides you to make self-directed, thoughtful adjustments to yourself. We guide you through the process and give you extraordinarily powerful tools. You choose who you want to be. We will teach you how to open the doors, get your brain to literally rewire its pathways. We’ll give you ideas and suggestions, but this program doesn’t say who you should be — that is up to you.
The messages and instructions in this program are oriented toward process and change. This includes the ability release, creating acceptance, and getting beyond established patterns. You play the central role, choosing which parts of yourself to change, how to change them, and what you want to become. These programs are not packed with messages, just enough to draw your focus into the area desired. Your brain and your choices do most of the work.
With this program, we are 100% confident you will learn to change any aspect of yourself you desire and commit to. As you fully realize the program’s power, changing yourself becomes at least 10 times easier. This is no exaggeration. Intense willpower is replaced with precise focus – your brain helps you rather than fights for you to stay the same.

 Mind Programming - Eldon Taylor Mind Programming: From Persuasion and Brainwashing to Self-Help and Practical Metaphysics; (c) 2009 by Eldon Taylor.
This book portrays the subtle and aggregate power of advertising and messaging that occurs throughout our environment. Taylor stresses that advanced psychology and neurology are applied in the fields of persuasion and advertising. The second part of the book focuses on how the susceptibility to such messaging might also be used to improve our internal makeup and make us more conscious of our choices.
