I have just uploaded my last research paper before I begin my dissertation. The title of the paper was Designing Communications that Effect Change. I look at how the brain construct our reality, how meaning is constructed, how the brain processes information, and elements of communication that bring behavioral change. I discovered that reason is emotionally constructed (we are emotional beings who think, not the other way around), and thus not nearly effective as stories that touch the heart. We learn predominantly through images, and as a result are all innate semioticians, as the brain processes through neural imagery.

Another fascinating item is that we do not make a decision to do something. Our mind, 300 milliseconds prior to our conscious decision to do some has already initiated the action. So our brain, unless we make a conscious decision to stop an action, initiates our action, not our own consciousness.

Over the next little while I will begin posting what I’ve learned over two years of research that will integrate emerging sciences and the scriptures to produce a theology of transformational change. I await your reaction.
