How deep does your mind go? And what powers does it hold hidden within its murky depths? I’m sure many people, including those who aren’t interested in Telekinesis, has wondering this same question. What is the mind, and why is it so mysterious. What makes something that’s small enough to hold in your hands (Not recommended) pull and retain information the way it does. No computer on earth can match the brain. This wrinkled lump of matter holds your entire life’s history, and every memory and experience within it. So, what exactly is the mind, and what secret potentials does it have that only few have uncovered.
Well, let’s find out.
The Mind and the Brain
The Mind has fascinated cultures for centuries upon centuries time. It still lays imbedded in our culture as we explore knew ways to explore the mind. And how we can use it for both entertainment value as well as more constructive means such as better health, and spiritual and mental evolution. But with all its potential, it still lies concealed in mystery. But before I try and explain how the mind works, lets first distinguish it.
The Brain is the lump of matter that sits in your skull, even right now. Its currently processing these very words, finding there meaning and allowing you to understand this sentence. In its most simplest reference, it is a computer, a biological computer. It basically is the command center of the body, constantly monitoring the body‘s condition and regulating automatic functions such as breathing, the beating of the heart, processing food, as well as everything else. It’s where you think, and store memory. It allows you to feel and experience. It allows you to interact with the world around you. But the brain doesn’t even end there, it’s also a gateway. A portal to new worlds, new experiences and most importantly, your limitless potential. This gateway, leads to your mind.
So what is the Mind? Where the Brain is Matter, the Mind itself is immaterial. It doesn’t exist in a physical fashion. The Brain is more or less a gateway for the mind, allowing your very soul to enter the picture. It gives rise to consciousness and self-awareness. The Brain is the physical bridge to the Spiritual Mind. It gives rise to the ‘I’. The Mind is the Counterpart to your Brain, the Identical Opposite. It is your Perception, your Will, your Reason, you Imagination, your Emotion. In many ways, it is your very Soul.
With this, you can see why the brain is built the way it is, and has the facilities and attributes the way it does. Your brain is more then just a computer. It, unlike a machine, has emotions, it can care for the person next to them, and determine right from wrong, as well as create whole new worlds and push forward with their dreams and recognize it all as their own. It is the mind, and it is infinite.
So, now on to the meat and potatoes of the subject…
How the Mind Works
The mind, is much like a child. Monkey see, Monkey do. The minds defines reality based on repetitive patterns. Which in turn shapes truth for you. I’ll give an example…
I often slam myself into the ground, drowning myself in low self-esteem, judging myself long before anyone else does. In a way, I try to do this as a preemptive strike before they do, assuming their opinion of me will be poor. Why? Well, the answer lies in my past.
Have you ever been bullied? I have. Back when I was in school, I was bullied quite often. Like most bullies, they will pick a target they can berate over and over again because they don’t fight back. Over the years I was bullied, something began to happen, something that was carried on passed my school years, and lived on into my adult life. What happened was, a thought was formed. This thought was conjured by the bully as he would tease or humiliate me.
Calling me worthless and trash of sorts (His dialogue was a little more graphic) it raised a thought in me that I was worthless. That thought was nurtured by the bully over years. Soon, I began to believe what he said, and I carried it on into my adult life.
So, what happened?
Though the above was condensed and a little simplified, it gives a perfect example that many can relate to. The bully would tell me I was worthless. When he did that it created a thought in me. Over years, he repeated that pattern enough to where that thought turned into a belief. Once that belief was founded, his work was done. He could leave, but the pattern, the belief was strong enough now, it would auto-repeat itself, in other words, it was self-sustaining.
Now think about that for a minute. How many things in your life has people repeated over and over to you, until you didn’t question it anymore? Until it became your belief.
When I think about it, I can’t help but wonder what patterns are in place that are influencing me negatively without me even being consciously aware.
How Your Mind Effects Reality
Here I would have gone into how your mind effects reality. But, I decided to hold it off for another post. I will go over how your mind effects the world around you in my next post. So stay tuned!
How to Change your Mind
This one has a simple formula, but the process is painfully hard to undertake. Though, some of you could take this and run with it for miles in a short time, a majority of us cannot simply change our minds on a whim.
As I’m sure you’ve guessed, you take the process above, and replace a negative pattern with a new, more beneficial pattern. How you would go about that is simple. When a negative thought enters your mind, you stop. Recognize that thought for what it is, then change that thought to something more positive. By doing this over and over you will replace that pattern eventually with a shiny new pattern that you created and implemented.
Now, the reason why I say this is painfully hard is probably obvious. Most of us have tried this method before I ever mentioned it here. The reason why it’s so hard, is because you have to look at how long that pattern your trying to replace has been there and in effect. The longer it’s been there, the harder it is to replace. And the more people don’t see fruit immediately, they often give up. In this world of instant gratification, we are becoming more comfortable with the idea of instant results, then time based results.
So, when time becomes ‘The’ issue, we give up and move on to the shiny new idea that says it can give it to you instantly. So you move on to that idea, only to find out it isn’t exactly as they promised, and you move on again. This keeps you in limbo, always shifting to the next idea, and you don’t really get anywhere. This is seriously the wrong approach, to most things in fact. How many things in your life, have you actually seen give you instant results or gratification? The answer is pretty much nothing. But it still is an idea we pursue. I understand though, it’s hard to pass up anything that says so confidently that it can give it to you faster or even instantly.
But, when you set out to change your mind, you need to take this approach in a casual manner. Don’t force it. If you use it to remove a phobia, understand that it will take awhile until you see results, and you will begin to see and feel that fear shrink. Instead of beating it out in the first try, just try and ease it a little each time it pops into your mind.
This needs to be explained a little just incase those who take my words a little to literally. When I say ease it a little each time it pops into your mind, what I mean is. Let’s say you have a fear of spider, and you see one, and a thought immediately pops into your mind about it. We’ll assume the first reaction is at 100% power. Your goal is to drop it by 10-20%. Then a few moments later it pops in again. Since if your afraid of spider and there’s one in your house, it doesn’t go away after one thought. This thought will return as 100% and not 90% or even 80% of it’s strength. When it does this, again try and ease it by 10-20%.
For a decent amount of time, it will feel like your efforts are in vain. Because there’s a spider in your house and your thoughts keep popping back up at 100% strength even after you eased the last one to let’s say 90%. This is very common, and you shouldn’t think that it isn’t working, because it is. Over time, you will notice that the eventually when a spider is in your house, the feeling you get wont be as strong as when you first started. In other words, after dropping it to 90% so many times, that 90% is your new 100% (If that makes sense) So then you drop it again, and continue. Eventually your fears will begin to fade drastically, and it will be noticeable.
So try not to get frustrated. In essence, you are fighting yourself, and it will feel frustrating.
Recently I used this technique on guns. My friend is a huge gun enthusiast, and he now takes me to a shooting range fairly often. When I first started shooting, I started to shake. I’m not sure if it was the kick of the gun that I wasn’t expecting or the loud bang in a enclosed space that would vibrate to my very core. Either way, I found myself in a position that was out of my comfort zone, and my body was reacting to it.
I began using this technique to help calm me down. It felt like a real fight. As soon as I began trying to ease the tension, it was like my mind and body threw it back in my face at 100% again. It felt futile. But alas, my efforts paid off. I really don’t have much of a problem going there and shooting anymore. Though I still would be afraid if someone pointed a gun at me, or if we all decided to go out drinking and half them have guns on their side…. I’m sorry, but drunk people plus guns, does not sound like a smart idea. That last part almost happened recently too.
I love how I just start rambling about past events and completely get away from the topic.
Anyways, moving on.
Why this is a good Idea
Telekinesis is difficult to get into even for those who believe it exists. Since that’s the reason I’m assuming you’re here, I’ll approach it that way.
When approaching Telekinesis for the first time, many questions begin racing through your mind. You might have started off believing it existed in this world, or even if you had the potential to do it, which you do. But, it becomes a lot different when you begin to put theory to practice. And your mind begins throwing up road block after road block. These hurdles are no different then the phobia of spiders, or the bullying I described above. They are repeated patterns that take root in your mind. When you begin to question your capabilities, you are only accessing a pattern put in place by everyone over your life that has said or even hinted that it doesn’t exist or only special people can do it.
Your first step should be to make sure, the very core of yourself believes without a doubt that “You” can do Telekinesis. Unfortunately, or beneficially, your choice I suppose, this can’t be done just by thinking about it over and over. Telekinesis is just a small piece of this huge puzzle. I have heard it described as a side-effect, which probably would describe it well. Though I think it’s a little more then a side effect. What they mean is, it’s through expanding your mind, and exploring your inner-self, and the power you gain in that process that allows for things like Telekinetic events to happen.
So before you can get that far, you need to reprogram your mind. This is done with practice and interacting with what your trying to accomplish. Essentially, you try to do Telekinesis and reprogram your mind while doing it. I know I’ve been repeating myself, but I’m just trying to cover all the bases if I can. Just remember when you begin to do Telekinesis, it will be like the spider. Thought’s will pour into your head, most likely they will fill your mind with doubt. This doubt is a pattern, and you must recognize that, and begin to change it. If it says “You can’t do it”, change it to “You can do it”. If it says “Maybe Telekinesis just isn’t for you”, say “No. If it wasn‘t for me, then why would I want to do it in the first place”, and so on.
The fact is, your mind will try and keep the pattern the same. Change is difficult for most things, and especially so for your mind. You will most likely go through this process. You just got to keep at it, never give up, and try not to get frustrated over it. Frustration comes about in Physical tension that stems from a Emotional reaction. It’s just your bodies way of trying to say it doesn’t want to change.
So with all that having been said. Never give up. Persistence and patience are your greatest weapons in life.
I hope you enjoyed the read...
Till next time.
