The hippocampus on the right side dominates non-verbal thought (like thinking in colors or musical tones,
or writing poetry that puts words together by how they feel rather than what they mean). Thinking without words
can only happen when the 'internal' dialog stops. Stopping the internal dialog is one of the first things that
has to happen before meditation can begin to bear fruit. Stimulating the hippocampus on the right can help to do
this, but the resulting states of consciousness will gain in depth if they're accompanied by meditation practice.
Any non-verbal 'tasking' for the mind can be used in conjunction with the hippocampal signal. Visualizations, guided
imaginations, 'toning', mindfulness exercises of any kind, gazing techniques or any other technique that works
without words.
The same principle applies to the left hemisphere, prayer, and the amygdala signal.
If you were to pursue intelligence enhancements, and used frontal lobe sessions, how would you know if your
intelligence were enhanced without applying it to something? You might find that you were having ideas that were
more complex than before, or that you seem to see things a 'level deeper' than before. Or you might only notice
enhancemnts in your intelligence when you applied it. The same applies to your capicity for awareness, love, or
creativity.
One of the rules that governs the brain is the 'principle of use-dependency'. This is where having a faculty
or skill depends on using it. "Use it or lose it".
Whatever your Shakti sesisons bring up for you, you need to apply them to retain them. Doing this will mean
paying attention. Living at a higher level, or only having more such moments, needs wanting them to be there.
Shakti is a powerful tool for this, but there are limits to what any spiritual technology can do without your participation.
This can mean doing a spiritual practice, or it can mean just paying attention to the effects of your sessions.
