Www dot Focus Up Philosophers dot com. Come along with us and we’ll show you how to focus on your win center. That center in the brain where wins are registered and stored. The location about an inch above and between the upper ears. When you are making decisions then make them from the win center rather than the lower or dinosaur age brain center, or as scientists call it the limbic brain.
I have made more than a few decisions in my almost eighty years on the planet. Some were the best decisions for me. Some the best decisions for people concerned. Finally, some decisions that were the highest and best for all people concerned, plus for planetary intelligence, integrity and survival. I wish all decisions were for the highest and best for all concerned. All concerned would mean people and I am now concerned for our planet. If our planet doesn’t survive, can we?
FUPS class 202. Note: I just got the insight and information that if we cooperate our planet will survive. Get that, cooperation will allow the planet to live. Cooperation is the goal of all people of goodwill. Find a way you can cooperate with those who do not totally agree with you today. Cooperate with a group who is different from you and your inner wise knower tells you they are doing good works nevertheless. Do this and biology can live longer. Cooperate and you will begin to know and know that you know. Enlightenment can be enhanced by your cooperation. Peace will increase in body, mind and planet when you cooperate. Health and happiness will increase and become ever-present when you cooperate. Cooperate, thank you. Focus Up Philosophy Society teaching 202.
Back to focus up philosophy decisions 101. I have made decisions that were then or as I think of them now are terrible. Some of those decisions, choices and attitudes I still think about sadly today. If I may be allowed to assist you in making better decisions, then read on young reader, or mature and interested reader. Think positively, live and learn. Higher and better thinking and doing will benefit you now and in your future. It affects the future of all concerned. Since we are sharing this planet the best all of us can be, do and have is what we shall accomplish and create.
Look at the lives of some people who lived for all the world’s people and the planet. I don’t know all or even most of them. The list would be long. The list might include people who did not get the calling until later in their lives. Maybe a certain amount of struggle and strife was good for them and the world of effects. Maybe a couple or so will excite something within you and you can read about them and their accomplishments. Mother Theresa, R.B. Fuller, A. Einstein, A. Lincoln, Marie Curie, T Jefferson, Cleopatra, I. Newton, J. Gutenberg, Joan of Arc, L. Pasteur, Jane Austin, O. & W. Wright, Plato, F. Nightingale, L. Beethoven, W. Heisenberg, R. Descartes, Michelangelo, Queen Isabella, Lao Tzu, S.B. Anthony, E. Dickinson, M. Gandhi the Mahatma, I. Gandhi, his wife. Search out those people who you admire and want to emulate. If one or all peoples simply lived by the words of Christ Jesus it could bless us everyone.
Start a journal and write daily what enthuses, excites and influences you. Fear not, and be not fearful of writing, speaking or living your highest and best life. If your highest and best life requires u-turns, course corrections or even do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars, just do it. Think, say, write and do your best and focus up into the win center. Focus up when making decisions, corrections and choosing or changing your path. Remember that the future is unknown. The greatest liberty and highest freedom you choose and request for yourself, other human beings and the planet now, can be everlasting. Higher and better decisions and choices made from the win center will possibly bless you and yours. You may forever look back on good instants, good decisions, good choices and smile. This time is precious so think, speak and do your best.
Look at your life and inspect it carefully. When life is lived in the realm of win-win-win. I win, you win and the planet wins. Endeavor to choose to decide and make good decisions. Being almost eighty I recapitulate my life and decisions, I often remember and look back at good, bad and indifferent choices and decisions. I may not be perfect or perfected today yet I know I’m better than ever I was in the past. If we have dealings today, you can more trust that all will be well. Making decisions from my win center has taught me something about the higher realities of brain functioning.
This will be a short brief how to. It may also give you a bit of the why, when and where. If we take the newspaper reporters edict of, “Who, what, when, where, how and sometimes why” then we may have a better understanding of win center decisions.
Start with who. Who can do it? Who can focus up and be in the win center? As far as I know and believe all people can do it. Easy for you to discern if you can or can’t. Think of a time when you won, or had a high experience, or experienced a love of life, person, painting, tree, beach, ride, or anything that made you extremely happy or even gave you a high, j.e win and happiness experience. Maybe a movie or win was so good it made you laugh or high for happiness. At that moment you were in your upper brain or win center.
Who: Consider yourself as one of the who’s that can be in the win center. Now concentrate about an inch above and between your upper ears.
What: I recommend sitting quietly with both feet on the floor. You may want to lie back some place comfortable. At this point you can focus up. Stay in that mode for as long as you can, preferably with your eyes closed. The minimum I like is three minutes. If I have only a minute, I take it happily and do my best for that short time. It’s interesting how much we can accomplish quickly when there’s a desire. We will have other exercises and ways to focus up into the win center. Practice entering your win center. Pay attention to any insight, picture or feeling received while there.
Insights can be very subtle. In my experience one can get the insight wanted or needed and without conscious recognition it can pass right by. Insights and intuition can pass by and not register on your inner awareness. Write in your journal. If it does not get your attention and tweak your knowing an opportunity may be missed. It can be one dramatic hit, insight, or choice. Often it is an unfoldment. If it is written down then you can add to the knowledge as information unfolds over time.
When: It is little vague situations and every day steps to higher consciousness or downward thinking that is needed for making the best choices. In college one of my professors gave us the insight as follows. DEDWD, which he said stood for do each day’s work daily. At the beginning of the semester he gave us 50 chemistry problems to solve. He reminded us a couple of times that they were due at the end of the semester. The day before the final exam for the semester he reminded us that the problems were due on the next day. The day of the final exam arrived and I turned in my problems. Yes, you guessed it I stayed up most of the night doing the problems. Only having a couple of hours of sleep made me a little slow taking the exam. All semester I was the first one to finish tests. I made great grades all semester and I wondered about the final exam. I didn’t do as good as I had all semester. Did I learn the DEDWD practice? Will you learn it now?
Sixteen years later when I was doing my masters degree we had three to 5 books a week to read and write a summary of each one. The last day of the class I turned the summaries in. I took the final exam and aced it. I had read the books all quarter long. I studied until about ten o: clock the night before the exam. Got a good night’s sleep and wow, what a difference. DEDWD was finally learned by yours truly.
Where: Big decisions may take more time, conscious thought, and/or subconscious reckoning plus understanding. Big decisions are important.We can stop where we are and take the time to decide. In those instances wherever we are, we can allot the time and space to focus up. Concentrate and give an important choice or big decision the full attention it deserves. Wherever you are there is a space-time to focus up. I have been known to do it waiting to be called for a restaurant dinner, in airplanes and airports, sitting in my car when the party is in my house, in a movie theatre while waiting for the movie to start, on the beach in Rosarito Mexico sitting feet from the water’s edge. I once was directed to a huge tree in a forest. The tree had been burned out and was very unique in this part of the forest. I sat in front of it and had one of the best experiences of unique feelings for that tree and me. To summarize my experiences in places far and near, just do it. Do the right thing for you, for people, for the planet and receive the good karma that returns to you.
How: We know that the win center is above, between and behind eye level about an inch and a half. It is directly in the center of the brain. I like to say it’s an inch above and between your upper ears. Once you know how to focus there we can learn a bit more about how to access, focus in and use this important center of the brain.
Use your imagination to create a cave where your win center is. The focus up place in your upper brain. Make it a place where you can be comfortable. Appoint it with what you want surrounding your higher consciousness. Your cave surrounds and protects your consciousness. Your cave is highly personal space. Appoint it as you like. Give it light. My cave has softly lighted walls. Give this personal cave an outlook onto something that makes you feel good, feel happy, feel blessed as it were. Maybe a valley or a city or possibly outer space. My cave is high on a mountainside and looks down over a valley. The cave is yours, the outlook point is yours and you want to feel good, be happy and know you are a worthy winner when within it. Now you are in your cave looking out without hubris, or better-than ego.
Focus consciously in your cave. Remember that it is in your brain about an inch above and between your upper ears. Said another way, it is an inch and a half above, between and behind your eyes in the middle of your upper brain. Think of something you want to decide, change, discuss or consider. You may want to sit comfortably with eyes closed. Look around your cave. Look out of the cave entrance and view your construct of the vision you’ve created. Be quiet and listen for an answer if you have posed a question. Give it a minimum of three minutes. If you do not get a hit or answer be conscious and aware as you come down in thought from your cave. An answer may come in interesting and unique ways. We say, be alive, awake and aware.
You may want to assign a time each day to lift up your thinking and focus up into your cave. I can recommend doing it before meals or snacks. Early in the morning seems to be a good time. The world is quieter around us. The interruptions are few. Sit in an easy chair, feet on the floor, hands comfortably in your lap and focus up into your cave. If you have any troubles getting into the cave, think of a win in your recent or far distant past. Volleyball is one of my win center touchstones. Maybe yours is tennis, spelling bees, business acumen, investment strategies, movie great moments, sales closings, recipe taste-greats, race wins, super teaching moments when the students get-it, or you understand a challenging concept and/or other peak moments.
Once you are comfortable and focused in your cave you may ask a question, pose a problem or get a decision in mind you want to make. Once you have it strongly and powerfully in mind wait for insights and answers. The subtlety may escape you if you aren’t vigilant and focused. It may be a fleeting moment or passing glance. A person’s face may appear. A feeling from high school or college or a first job or first sale or first dance or first kiss. In your cave you may want to have a mirror. This mirror can show you yourself as a higher and greater being or thought form. Look in the mirror and ask for an answer from this upper brain, win center or higher consciousness. Think on any instance, picture or impression you receive. The insight or answer may be right before you and not easily discerned.
Best of the best to you on your journey. Know you are a being of love and light. Focus up anytime you wish to rise above the down here thinking that you may think is you.
Why: You deserve the very best. You are a divine human treasure, a perfect Human Being. Now go and be your highest and best persona. People around you who are also alive, awake and aware will get the new and improved you.

Now let’s think about Covid—19. What do we know so far? It is a virus. We call it a novel corona virus. It has affected people around the world. The USA is the highest rate of spread and death. It is the worst case scenario in this pandemic. Covid-19 kills at a striking rate. If it doesn’t kill it can cause mental and physical degeneration. Organs like lungs, heart, blood system, even the brain and other major organs can he compromised. The effects can be long term. We sometimes talk of a possible health crisis in a few years (1-10). The offshoot of this knowledge is that you don’t want to get this Coronavirus.
We hear that the treatment of one of our American citizens cost you and me around $100,000 for a cure. What would you estimate this virus has cost us US citizens in dollars and sense. Good sense we mean. Please note that one state in Australia is down to 1 case or less per day. What are we doing to ourselves? Especially those of us who are black, brown and yellow who are at a higher risk. Can we remember to love ourselves enough to stay healthy? Love ourselves enough to love all others on the planet here in the world of effects? It is a big task and I know you are up to it.
How can you reduce the likelihood of catching it and spreading Coronavirus? 1. Wear a mask, Wear your own mask and request or demand that all others wear their own mask. 2. Wear gloves when recommended. 3. Stay 6 feet, 2 meters to 10 feet, 3 meters away from other people. 4. Do not attend indoor gatherings. 5. If you feel sick or have a premonition of a problem get tested. Keep hand cleansers in your car and near to handwashing area in your home. Use a paper towel to handle the door knob in public restrooms when possible
This virus is airborne and transferred from human to human when they talk, cough, sneeze or even when you breathe another’s breath. Always err on the side of caution! Long term effects of this disease may be worse than the short-term sickness. People report difficulties in becoming totally healthy, long term shortness of breath, mental challenges, and other health related problems after they think they’re beyond the dis-ease or may we call it an ill-mess,
May we recommend meditation? Above and beyond focus up time we recommend two each fifteen to thirty-minute meditations daily. Meditate when you are not digesting or agitated.
