Why
And How To Master Your Mind
There has been much
debate about what constitutes intelligence. Until recently the IQ test
has been the accepted method of measurement. But since introducing the
IQ test, we have come to understand a great deal more about the working
of the physical and mental components of intelligence: the brain and
mind.
It was once thought that
when you were born you had so many brain cells and that whatever amount
of brain cells you were born with could not be increased but only
decrease through time and age. Of course we now know this is false and
that in fact by working the brain in certain ways we can actually grow
it and increase the neural connections between its hemispheres. We also
know now that the more you grow it, and hence increase its neural
activity, the more it can grow.
The same can be said
about our mind. Although a much more elusive entity, we are coming to
understand more about its tremendous power when properly harnessed. It
is no shy fact that our mind manifests everything we experience from the smallest to the biggest events in our lives. This also
applies to the larger social conditions of the world because
collectively, when we focus on something as a group, a nation, a
species, we combine our mental power and in so doing, we materialise what we
have collectively envisioned.
A simple example is
man's traveling to the moon. For decades man imagined going to the
moon. Prior to its happening we had stories, cartoons, and television
shows that depicted this event. Eventually, we sat in our living rooms and
watched the real thing happen behind the screen of our TVs. TVs mobile phones, airplanes, computers, they were all
collective imaginings of one kind or another before materialising into
existence.
The same can be said about the personal events in our lives,
if we investigate thoroughly, and carefully reflect on what we were
thinking about, mentally envisioning, prior to the event, we will find
the mental equivalent always preceded its materialisation in some form
or another. This is without exception.
It is so important to
know this, and to understand this, because in knowing this you can
really begin to paint the picture of the life you want and this includes
the picture you want for the world in general. I realise this might seem
like a grand statement, but it is true. For example, when you listen to
the news, or watch it on TV, and it is bad, what happens? It causes
unease in you. It turns the flow of your thoughts downward and like
the flow of any stream, it takes more effort to change direction than to
go with it. This makes your job of feeling and mentally envisioning good
events harder and when you are in the habit of tuning into bad
news you are habitually diminishing your power to manifest the
things that will make you happy in life, because your thought power is
not working to your full benefit.
But it goes further than
this. When we collectively tune into bad news, or watch a Hollywood
movie about the end of the world, or listen to depressing songs or (fill
in the gap), we are literally converging our manifesting thought
power building it into a extremely powerful energy wave that can
only, eventually, produce itself into its equivalent negative reality. This is how it works, both
on a personal and societal level. We are the microcosm of the macrocosm.
We are our thoughts. To change the picture of our lives, we need
to change our thoughts. To change our thoughts we must become masters of
our minds.
