Minding Your Own "Mind Power"

Mind power. Throughout history this concept has been seen and heard in mass media. And regarded as fact. So, what's wrong with it? Most people can accept that there is such a thing as mind power but are probably clueless about its true character, which is its being misunderstood for what it really is.

Some people tend to associate mind with the human brain. Others disagree claiming correctly that the human mind is non-physical and is not synonymous with the human being's gray matter or tissue which is the physical organ called brain. As a matter of fact, researchers into this field of expertise have come to think that mind is not exclusively located in the brain but in all parts of the human body and even outside of it. Wow!

This idea of the mind occurring and existing outside of the human body is a startling revelation and can confuse a lot of people. But this might help explain the findings made by doctors, scientists and professionals including philosophers and mystics that the endocrine glands in the human body may have something to do with the mind. At this point we have a declaration of the mind's independence from the brain. Congratulations!

There are writers who say that one of these glands, called the pineal which is lodged in the head just behind and between the eyeballs, is really the focal point, the drop zone, if you like, or rendezvouz area between the body and the soul. It is this gland which supposedly acts as coupling for the two aspects of human existence. It is here where mind and matter meet...

With this statement, it may no longer be difficult it seems to think that mind power can be used to influence the environment which is therefore outside of the human body, and also the people who may be interacting with the person using mind power.

By influencing people as well as the environment, I do not mean to say that changes in people's lives or situation and those in the environment are materially altered or affected using physical intervention as a result of planning or decision-making for an intended action (which therefore originates in thought). I do mean that changes are actually caused in their original state or condition using the power of thought alone to bring forth these changes without physical means, and in real time.

I also do not wish to refer to the "sleight-of-handers" the amazing stage and street magicians who are so skilled in turning a burning scarf into a rose on a stem, for example. In this definition I do not like to include the stage magicians who are more inclined to use mechanical props to perfect their illusion, although I deeply respect them for the time and patience they have devoted to their craft. And this is not to say of the mind power they use to complement their physical performance which now brings us to ask: where exactly does the mechanical or physical factor of the performance end, and the mind power element of the entire process actually begin? Is it any wonder then that the term warlock should be correctly applied to denote the magician?

What is suggested in this discussion of mind power and what it really boils down to, is none other than the reality of mind over matter. This simply means that the mind can control physical things and takes precedence over matter. This statement apparently takes on an esoteric or occult twist so far as it says something about mind over matter which translates into the invisible over the visible, the intangible over the tangible. I'm saying this because people may find a lot of usefulness in mind over matter, apart from what the magicians do, which is primarily to entertain us.

Taking a step further, mind over matter, or mind power can be removed from the mysterious or the occult and enlisted to assist us in our day-to-day experience with life. We can use mind power to control events such as having a favorable stock market report, winning a lover back, predicting correct lottery numbers, persuading a teenager who's gone a little off-tangent to take advice, warding off disgusting people in the workplace without appearing to do it.

And yes, you may have guessed right. You can apply mind over matter on yourself (surprise!) and teach yourself to get rid of unwanted habits and thus promote self-improvement. You may also do a variety of other things you may have a mind to. It's your mind, see?

The "Subconscious" Part Of A Human Being

In another article I had discussed the term "subconscious" with a hyphenated "mind" attached to it. Now I'm back with that word subconscious again but without the tail. I'm kind of enamored with this "subconscious" thing I'll give it a few more shots before I let it go peacefully. I think the "subconscious" mind should always be understood with special consideration because most people probably have only a vague idea of what it is, although almost everybody will quickly admit they sure have heard of it, it's a fact of life, it's real--and that's it. Well? Sounds more like heaven and hell where people haven't gone to and yet claim to know everything about it like the back of their hand. The term "subconscious" may and should properly be in quotation marks because it occupies an absolutely unique niche in the realm of existence. No longer may anyone say it probably doesn't exist simply because people haven't seen, heard, smelt, touched or tasted it as substance because it isn't. Substance is matter. And it isn't matter but "mind" precisely. And it is different from the usual mind that we are very familiar with and which we call the "conscious" mind, the one with which we count our income, drive our car, eat and sleep. The experts say that the "subconscious" is the source of all created things that are in existence from the smallest flea that you can find on your dog's scalp to the vast exploding quasars and pulsars and on to parallel universes in space that they say exist side by side with the universe known to us with our current knowledge and technology. Hmm... Am I drifting towards church, religion or dogma? No sir, not at all. Nor am I engaged in a treatise on space technology by having said something about exploding stars. But strangely, Albert Einstein's thinking about matter converting itself into energy and back again should tell us that there must be a principle, if you will, for lack of a better term, that must exist that therefore underlies this. For simplicity's sake, if you can't destroy matter and only convert it to some other substance or form, doesn't it seem logical to suppose that there is this underlying thing or principle that guarantees matter's continued existence? We are talking about the "subconscious" as probably some kind of a blueprint or template out of which the created thing takes shape. Another example would be that if you should plant a tree, say an avocado tree, the template or pattern of the avocado is already encoded in the atoms and molecules of the seed that you plant. You should be kidding yourself if you expect to behold an oak tree or a fig tree or a mango tree or some other tree when it grows up because it will follow the DNA or blueprint (avocado) of its own creation (I didn't put it there). But most important thing to think about is that this "subconscious", this blueprint seems to be eternal, all- present and all-pervading in every place or condition in time and space where creation is in progress, from nature's own (natural) processes to the conversion of matter into its sub-states whether by natural or artificial means or intervention. And you think that creation was a done deal in seven days after God created the heavens, the firmament and Man himself?I personally believe that this underlying theme or principle, this "subconscious" or "mind" that serves and acts as blueprint, pattern or mold of all creation in all space and time and in this and all parallel universes--is what Einstein must have been thinking when he put forth his belief that matter is neither created nor destroyed. Now then, what did we say about the subconscious "mind" not just residing in the right brain hemisphere but even outside of the human body? Oh my... Click here to learn more.

Hi There Time Travelers!

First order of business inevitably I guess is to offer a ton of profuse apologies for not having been heard of for a long while. I wouldn't hold it against anybody but me if I'm unrecognized by now or if I didn't qualify for any adsense privileges or whatever.

Time away from cyberspace was, however, well-spent in the sense that I had great opportunity to attune my readings and research work to things along my deepest lines of thought, a kind of tweaking of my concepts about space and time.

But then, who knows(?) I may have, during this unexplained absence, been actually engaging in actual physical (to distinguish from astral) time--traveling unknown to you, folks. In other words, I did this without your knowledge or permission and or consent. And to top it all, I hadn't given you the courtesy of reporting on my experience on returning to this era, your so-called "present time". Now, don't tell me that I sound "alien-like" in saying this or that I'm actually a human follower of the Raelian Movement.

I'm really not into any group, movement or cult when it comes to my beliefs especially in philosophy and particularly in the areas of creation and existence. And it is because of my sincere conviction that these things are best left to individual judgment and discretion and should not be influenced by any fixed system or institutions of thought.

These days I have been spending a large portion of work to the understanding of the microcosmic aspect or part of creation. I have taken to reading and decoding among others Napoleon Hill's philosophy whereby he states with firm conviction that the subconscious part of our mind is our connection to the greater mind (I didn't have to capitalize or put it in quotes. I leave it up to you).

I have found confirmation that it is here, in the realm of the subconsious mind of man, that we can find answers to eternal questions having to do with creation, which by the way, is an ongoing process that is occurring as we speak. I have written articles about the subconscious mind as the empowering nature and quality of man; as the aspect of human existence that permits man to be as God himself wants him to be (oops, and her too, sorry)
