The first was that the human brain could be viewed as a massively parallel computer system
Arintel was an extremely powerful tool. It was so powerful that politicians began to sniff around it. That frightened me so I destroyed the system and am still the only person who knows how it all worked.
Getting back to the evolution of Cybernetic Transposition, around 1981 I had just finished a very difficult turn around of a company (a $4 million loss to a $2 million profit with a tripling of sales from $7 to $21 million in 9 months and a drop in defects from 12% to around 1%, while operating, each day, with a totally recalcitrant work force and short $2 million or more to pay bills) and was recuperating in my San Francisco home. During the mornings, I would study research on the structure and operation of the human brain. (After all, if working in artificial intelligence, I needed to know a lot about real intelligence.)
In the afternoon, I’d sit in my living room watching the fog “eating” the Golden Gate Bridge and contemplate what I’d learned and what I was going to do next. During one of these sessions, I had three big “aha” types of breakthroughs.
The first was that the human brain could be viewed as a massively parallel computer system, each of the component neurons functioning as both a digital and analogue computer.
The second was that the power of such a system was millions times greater than the most powerful supercomputer I’d been using and that humans could and probably did automatically do what I’d been approximating with the Arintel system. The third was that I could teach people to use this system so that they could do seemingly impossible things.
Another factor was that in a near death experience that I’d had when I was clinically dead for 8 minutes in 1969, I’d had awakened some abilities that I’d never been aware of. And when I met a spiritual teacher whose energy I’d encountered in that near death experience, I quickly decided to study with him.
That study involved meditating for what eventually became 2 hours each day. Following my three-part insight described above, my meditations frequently began to include the “receipt” of “packets” of information, each of which was an “aha” experience. I wrote them down and they became the actual nuts and bolts of the Cybernetic Transposition process.
In the process, I realized that I’d been using these techniques in various forms since I was a freshman at M.I.T. and I knew that they would work for others. So I organized the first training in July of 1981. I had about 250 people in a three day session in Santa Monica and about 85% of them achieved their seemingly impossible objectives on the first try.
