The Power of your mind

Mind the universal phenomenon rejected by scientists as a metaphor of brain and nothing more, argued by spiritualists as more than grey matter is one of the most complex phenomenon to study.

In English language we use phrases like don’t mind, or Mind that or my mind, etc…suggesting that mind is one of the most common word used to express our state of thinking. All processes in meditation are the ways to make mind singular on one thought or further to go towards a no mind state. ‘Control the mind’ is the mantra because this mind can play havoc with our living, its want to control for power and recognition has created men who have killed and plundered and victimized masses for their need of power and recognition and wealth.  Poems have been written about why this mind is a monkey and its nonstop chatter is the greatest problem for ones who want to control it. Sometimes all this focus to control our mind seems to send an impression that mind is an evil part of humanity

And yet ….   

…how many of us truly know about the powers of this mind? May be very few. Most of us are not capable of thinking a concept never thought before- as Einstein or Tesla did or as Rishis of ancient India did.  To be an original thinker would mean that one has the ability to think of an original idea – like for example Mark Zuckerberg did when he imagined a world connected by computers. Even beyond what we can create in the world of 3D space and time by applying ourselves, the powers of mind at mystical level can be measured by the fact that the mind has the ability to go through space time with thoughts that may have a speed that we do not know about. If you have experienced in you  a mind at metaphysical level that can connect through telepathy and transfer thoughts from one person to another or a mind that through its intuitive powers can know what lies ahead then you would how powerful this mind is.  The transfer of thought from one person to other must mean that my mind cannot be isolated from other minds – that there must be a universal mesh though which all minds are connected.  There are dimensions of the space beyond all its physicality that we know not about nor have technology to know and yet our mind through its focus can unfold those secrets for us. Therefore those who appreciate mind and its power and then when able to control can use it more efficiently must be understood.

How to make this mind powerful is the key. There is the peculiarity of mind that when anything interests it, it gets absorbed in the thing of interest and neglects every other thing.  Then imagine a mind that becomes interested it its own self about how it functions and how it acts. That mind that is capable of analyzing its own self can becomes a very powerful mind. But that in itself is the greatest challenge. Scientists can analyze a chair or a cup of tea and heat energy in it or electrical circuits – but to be able to analyze one’s own mind and the power it has and what it can do is not easy, as the mind itself is constantly changing, its different every moment and to study it is no joke. But that is the only way to make your mind focused – when you know it you can control it.  

So the question that how does one study a mind that is constantly changing?

Watch it. Not easy, not simple thing to do but when one continuously practices watching one’s mind one realizes how  one’s mind thinks. And that is step 1. Step 2 is to be able to see yourself distinct from the mind. Step 3 is to be able to switch yourself between state of wanting to use mind when in external world and then becoming mindless in meditation- a constant practice definitely increases your power to be able to think beyond your ordinary self.

The ones who can appreciate the power of mind and have had some experience with it would know that   if we knew how to handle our mind and tap is power we would be able to unleash power beyond any measures source of energy.
