THE TRUE NATURE OF THE HUMAN MIND HAVING DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES QUOTE: No species possesses a purpose beyond the imperatives created by genetic history... Description of the Human Brain Prefrontal Cortex – Deals with conscious thinking Motor Cortex – Controls physical movement and body parts activities Parietal Lobe – Handles spatial sense, the ability to perceive and mentally to manipulate forms and objects Occipital Lobe – Visual centre Temporal Lobe – Hearing and speech centre Gatekeeper – Three Gatekeepers; the amygdale; the hippocampus; the caudate nucleus; the Gatekeeper function filters incoming (sensory) information and relays certain portions to other areas of the Brain. Cerebellum – Also known as “our little Brain”; plays a key role in maintaining posture and physical balance; acts as an “autopilot” for performing functions (walking, riding bicycle, driving and etc.) Human Brain Power is the most complex, powerful machine in the whole Universe, it contains a network of approximately 100,000 miles of blood vessels and 1,000,000,000 (One Billion) neurons with the capacity to perform about ten quadrillion operations and actions per second. Just imagine the scope and complexity of the telephone system throughout the entire planet; Human brain embodies that same scale of complexity, capability and capacity in each individual brain cell. In the brain itself, every second, about tem millions of cells die off and another replacement of another ten millions cells created to reinstate its functions. Although, We Humans are unaware of its activities consciously, the Brain has overseen the decommissioning of a few hundred million cells with the construction and installation of another hundreds of millions cells replacements with even a drop of sweat. If we were to probe and write out the Brain’s potential as expressed the number of possible neutral connections it could make or function, it may take us seventy-five years to count and write down the zeros in figure. This is the level of power and capacity of the Brain at your disposal every moment daily. Likewise the potential to achieve what we want is consider as ‘No Limits. The Brain is to be treated as the king for no other organ in the designed Human Body that receives better or more elaborate care. Snugly and safely encased in its protective bony shell, the weight of the Brain can only weighs about two (2) to three (3) pounds, a mere one to two percent of the whole total body weight, it consumes 20 percent of air that we breathe, 25 percent of the total blood flow, 30 percent of water consume by us and finally 40 percent of all nutrients drawn from our bloodstream. The formation of the Brain is made of progressive layers, each layer tracing back and forth of a different era, different stages of Human evolution, from the simplest reflexive function being designed to ensure our physical survival and to the most advanced and sophisticated functions of imaginations and intellectual analysis. The earliest development of the centre layers of the Brain controls the primitive functions; the most intellectual sophisticated recently developed functions are managed by areas towards the front and surface of the Brain. The Brain stem, also known as the “Reptilian Brain” because it has similar structures and functions as the cold-blooded reptiles controlling the body’s instinctive functions, such as heart-beat, respiration and digestion keeping the organism alive by operating its instinct. The other part “Old Mammalian Brain “ which is also similar in structure and function to the Brains of the other mammals manage and control emotions, sexuality and plays a key role in regulation of the so called “memory Frontal Lobe” or “neocortex” is the more recent developed part governs our conscious thoughts is where we create, speculate, learn, concentrate and focus. To simplify all these different distinctions, what is crucial to understand is; these various functions and aspect all fall into two larger, basic divisions of the Brain; thus known as the Conscious Brain and Non-Conscious Brain. These two divisions of our Brain interact with each another and the outside world is the centre point and it has everything to do in creating your ambitious lifetime or lifestyle dreams. Once we start to understand how these two divisions and functions of the Brain interaction working and supporting with each another, we will be able to realise why so many people struggle to pursuit their lifetime goals and how many escape to start achieving their every ambitious goals. Faculties of the Conscious Brain What part does the “Conscious Brain” play in the main Brain? It is the part of the Brain that thinks and reasons where we exercise our free will and at the same time we use it to evaluate options to make new decisions. The crowing achievements of Human development is the “Frontal Lobe” which is more than our opposable thumbs, bifocal vision, or any other trait and it is the size of our “Frontal Lobe” in relation to the rest of the Brain where it differs and distinguishes Human from other animal species. The “Frontal Lobe” can be consider as the “CEO’s” of the Main Brain, responsible in focusing, learning, concentrating and also the power for observing. It is part of us that is reading these words at this moment, while the Brain Stem and other more primal centres maintaining our breathing, heartbeat thus and a myriad of other functions whereby is beneath the radar of our consciousness and awareness. If our dream goals and objectives are dealing in transportation, than the “Frontal Lobe” shall be the Commander to give orders or decide how to chart the course to the successful destinations in achieving our lifetime goals. Just like all Commanders whom have distinct personalities, every one of us has our “Frontal Lobe” that fulfils this commanding role in our own unique and distinct style. Although most of us think very narrowly of our conscious capacity as if we have reduced ourselves to a category called IQ, which a matter of fact, our intelligence carry a wide range of varying attributes, capabilities and abilities. We can accept and look at these functions as existing on a spectrum similar as a colour palette which ranges from lower to higher frequencies. We would consider that none of these traits are better than the other, and none of us has just one to two abilities and capabilities to the exclusion of any other. Actually every one of us possesses all of these abilities in ample supply which enable us to charter our course to achieve the ambitious lifetime goals of happiness and prosperities. We also must take notice of the various reasons why some are successful and some people are not is because from the lowest to the highest, we shall call these different aspect s of conscious spectrum as; “Will Power, Memory Power, Perception Power, Reasoning Power, Intuition Power and Imagination Power. Let us study forth upon this Conscious Spectrum Will Power Agreed by almost definition, all people in regardless whether they are successful in business, ventures, marriages, parenting, quit bad habits and etc. tends to have a strong degree of will power. This is the essential quality embodied or empowered in the phrase of “If this is to be than it is up to me”, people do not wait for things to happen but to make them happens” and yet this does not mean or necessarily consider as your strongest conscious traits. It is just like there are many styles of being successful in leaderships, businesses, marriages, entrepreneurship and so forth. Will Power is the conscious faculty involved when making decision for doing some new acts or something new to us, it supplies the basic urge or drives those catalyses circumstances and at the same time moves the action forwardly for achievements. It is often that we remarked that “If we are interested, we will do what is convenient; if you are committed we will do whatever it cost”. Cause, Will Power, is the conscious exercise of that quality of commitment and people with “strong will” can dig deep and do whatever it takes to get things move into motions. Courage, discipline, commitment, loyalty, perseverance as these traits are reflections or variations of this core conscious urge or drive shall know as our “Will Power”. Memory Power In neuroscience short term memory is an electrical phenomenon; whilst long term memory is chemical but however, memory is define more than a simple mechanical action of knowledge or data storage and retrieval. The “Conscious Brain” depends upon memory capacity to search and accumulate types of information relevant to any situation at hand. It is also mean that it can be simple as recalling someone’s name, phone number or can mean an incredibly complex process of art or drawing on scores of different types of experiences and factors simultaneously in considering and enable to make a difficult decision. A good memory can means having a well developed faulty in turning our brain to certain specific stored experience that are need to be drawn as and when required. In view, it is a type of associate logic; as it converts out to be the best techniques for improving our memory typically use a process of associating one thing to another to make readily available to recall and retrieve for any action. Brain Researchers are claiming that some of our memories or rather most of our memories are stored outside us in quantum fields, whereas, conventional wisdom insist that our memories are being stored in the Brain. The idea might seem like science fiction but try thinking about it when you are watching a television show; where was that programme at that moment before we turn on the set? No is the answer because it is swimming in the air all around us. In another similar way, Scientist, were claiming that once we have an experience or a thought can be broadcasted out into the quantum field in the wavy form consider potentially available and accessible to anyone. Well, of course, it will be easily accessible because our Brain is the first one that first processed that experience, which means that our Brain and the happen experience both have unique resonance. Grasp, perspective, insight, and having a broad view are all different methods that we can describe this conscious function of our memory. Perception Power When someone asks you; what do you see with? Probably most people will say; my eyes, of course! But is it not true, because we see through our eyes, just as you see through with contact lenses or short/long sighted glasses but instead we can see or watch things with our Brain. What we actually see is not the eyes that detect, but base on the neurological pattern in the Brain which explain why perception is so individual and much variable. You may interview several people observing the same object or event but yet when being to describe them; you will probably get many different answer or completely different story from each person. We may think that a few of these people are telling lies but actually they can be narrating the truth only at a different point of view due to individual neurological pattern form in their Brain. When our perception is different from the others or somebody else, it may create a temptation to dismiss their version is “wrong”, instead of asking them to show you how they and what they see. Under such situation, this may allow us to have the benefits of their experiences and perspectives which can add on to our views, with this only we can then and only then ask our self the question; will their perception can really help me to achieve my ambitious lifetime goals. It is true enough that when we add others perception with our own views will significantly increase and improve our intelligence with more chances of being success. Reasoning Power We now understand that “Will Power” is related to physical actions, “Perception Power” means an input of the senses, while “Reasoning Power” is an indication of us moving into more cerebral activities we typically think of as intelligence. With “Reasoning Power” which has the capacity to connect to certain facts of a situation with huge and large principals gather upon the thousands of experiences even to the extent of those far removed in time and space. Here we wish to introduce two types of conscious actions called “deductive and inductive”. Deductive Reasoning means having the ability to logically examine available facts and arriving at a logical conclusion based on more consistent principles. Whereas Inductive Reasoning is running into the same process in the opposite directions; and may reached at a simple principle or set of principles by extrapolating from much observed facts surrounding the situation. In this more modern, literate societies, we tend to practice by putting Reasoning on a bit of pedestal and of course there is no doubt about it, having a more stronger analytical capacity which is a fantastic added value strength to assist us in many matters. But at the same time in this World there are many remarkably successful people or business people who are not particularly strong in this area although it is not a good or bad trait but simply another type of colour in the spectrum. For example between two person, Mr. A has an especially strong logical, analytical sense and on the other hand while Mr. B, his sense of analytical logic is nowhere near as strong compare with Mr. A’s but still can work hand-in-hand with Mr B due to his sense of intuition which is perhaps his most acute conscious attribute whereby they can complement each other’s strengths. Intuition Power Intuition Power is the faulty of knowing the situation before you think, especially in business circles we can often hear people using other terms to describe this capacity of hunch, judgement or rather instinct ‘ remarks such as; He really has good instincts; or she is gifted with sharp judgement but actually none of these are really accurate. This is what we really mean is “Intuition Power”, the word intuition in fact comes from the Latin “intueri”, it means “to look upon”; it also refers to our ability to observe a situation instantaneously, without our sense perception or logic acting an intermediary and is closely related o that so called “action at a distance” that Einstein call “spooky”. Have we ever walked into a room fill with people and immediately can forecast that something is wrong somewhere even without any hint or outward indication from the group of people in the room, yet you do not know how you just simply knew; well that is intuition! Try to imagine that we walk into a gathering or party and start to notice a person across whom is not smiling and we just immediately pick up a strong sense of negatively feeling or a “negative vibe”: oh no, what is his problem or have I done or say something that had offended him before, whatever the interpretation is you come out to make the sense of the situation. Then someone just walk over to you and said; well this guy’s pet doggy was run over by a car which suddenly give you a very different feeling and understanding of that so called “bad vibe” that you had pick upon and that is what actually means. Now this is what had happened; your intuition had absolutely read the correct information but it is just your reasoning gave it a bad interpretation! This is not your intuition that is at fault, it was actually the rational process of trying to understand the situation and the way to strengthen your intuition is to apply complete faith and trust in it and try to resist the temptation to attach meaning or interpretation towards your sensing of the instinct. To explain further, intuition is different from instinct, it is the perception of pure energy and the energy ever lies. And whereas instinct is define as the primal capacity of your non-conscious Brain, which is something that dates from very early in the Brain’s development. To explain, Intuition Power on the other is a conscious function; it is a highly refined, high –vibration way that we use to observing the World and it is in fact the most powerful gifts ever rewarded to Human which provide to us the capacity to feel the energy within us and all happenings surrounding us. In the whole of the Universe there is no such thing as someone with “poor intuition” or practically “no intuition”. All Human have an acute intuitive capacity; we only differ in our ability to integrate that intuitive sense with rest of our conscious functions. More than we allow our other conscious functions get in the way with questions of our feelings. When mentioned that someone has especially strong intuition, what it mean is that he has a particularly well-developed ability of awareness towards his intuition and should not drown with other conscious processes and also has some very powerful implications. Imagination Power In our capacity to imagine is perhaps our most powerful conscious gift ever born for our Human race. Vision, creativity, imagination all come in the same shades of colour and is the top end of the spectrum of Human consciousness. What is imagination? Imagination can means that we, Human are able to create pictures in our positive minds out of images being drawn from the quantum field of all possibilities, and by making those pictures as vivid as if they were physically happenings. To be successful, one must be imaginative and creative enough to give birth to a viable business or to attain our lifetime goals. But we all need some very specific, practical techniques for unleashing our imagination and harnessing its amazing creative power to create the seeds that will grow our successful lifetime goals and dreams. Unfortunately, imagination is more than often a prime casualty of the process in growing our dream seed of success. The reason is; by the time we reach at our middle thirties, ninety-five percent of the creative-imagination neutrons in our Brains have atrophied from lack of usage. What was the reason and why? It is because when we are kids, we are always told by our seniors to stop “daydreaming’ and to pay attention to our studies or rather to say “get your head out of the cloud”. In order to realise in building and creating our lifetime goals successfully, then we need to lift our heads up right above the clouds and start to exercise our imagination to its fullest. As mentioned, imagination is the seat of your capacity to build and create anything; whether it is a thrilling career, dream house, successful business, a fulfilling relationship, a magnificent lifestyle; as Einstein acclaim it well; “imagination is more important than knowledge”. Imagination plays a great part as where every extraordinary achievement begins and with no limits, we can be completely free. It is important that we have to awaken that faulty we have as a child and better to start our day light dreams again. Once we have visualised, or realise our vision in with imagination, we will have the faculties we need to bring forth the vision into physical reality, by applying the process of turning an acorn into an oak tree. Most people might be saying; In fact, I do have daydreams about my ambition, career or business but it just unable to turn those dreams into reality! As a matter of fact, it is true; imagination alone cannot fulfil into reality even having all six of our traits at full steam ahead will also not be able to get the reality of our wishes. People can have the biggest, most wonderful dreams in the world and it will not do a lick of good if we still fall prey to that grand fallacy that can sabotage and smash our lifetime dreams into pieces. What is the Grand fallacy? Let us say; six frogs sat on a lily pad that grows in the pond; then one frog decided to jump off to another pad; how many frogs were left sitting on the pad? Well, most people will answer; obviously, only five left sitting on the pad! Congratulations! Your capacity for analytical reasoning is correct and in good shape, but unfortunately that is not the correct answer; the answer should be “six left”. This is right; why? It is because only one decided to jump off but it did not actually do any action or jump off, that is why the answer is “six frogs left”. This is what we call exactly our Grand Fallacy; we think that because we have imagined something, understood something, figured out something, planned something, rather decide on something, but it is a foregone conclusion that we are going to do that something which in most cases we do not do. The reason is because we are so strongly tend to identify with our conscious thoughts as “me” than we assume that it is our conscious mind that is calling the shots, the one that is in controls, which is in charge of what we actually do. Well do you think it is the true; no, it is simply not the truth; in fact, the amazing thing is that we keep thinking this despite the wealth of evidence to the contrary. You may visit any book store and take a look at all the titles on dieting, and yet obesity is still on the climbing rate; why? Simply it is because like the frog, “it only decide to jump but no action taken; just like the world is full of opportunities, so many excellent and worthy decisions to be make; sadly to say “there are no results” unless with the cause of actions then we can see the effects and results. In the Bible, the apostle Paul wrote this wonderful statement that beautifully captures the common frustration of Human experience; “For the good I will do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice”. Now, here is the Grand Fallacy, most people think that all wonderful conscious functions control what we do, actually they do not; for all the brilliance, the conscious mind has one huge and large handicap; “It does not get things done in the long term”. The conscious mind may be the captain of the ship, but it is the guy at the engine room that actually makes the ship going and not the captain; and here is the fact; how much control our conscious functions exert over what we actually do; the answer; somewhere between two to four percent; and that’s it; think of it now how to start our actions immediately to achieve our lifetime dreams and goals. One reason that we believe is; this Grand Fallacy of conscious control is that we are so acutely aware of that little bit of control that our conscious brain does exert, but make no mistake,; even if it is two to four percent is only a tiny bit; it is still a critically important tiny bit. Do remember, our conscious brain is where our imagination starts; where visions and dreams are born; where new life paths are chosen; where new risks are taken; and new initiatives being explored. This is the cause of the conscious brain taking over the control to give new orders and it is an exhilarating adventure when that happens, although it just did not last, the conscious mind can exert a very exciting kind of control, but only for a short term. The conscious brain for all its brilliancy has severely limited processing ability; this may come as a shock to most people but it is not difficult to see the truth; just think; how many numbers in a random sequence can you remember? Did you think about the last time you called telephone directory for assistance for a forgotten number? So after the call, you had hung up and can you still remember the ten digits without writing down on a piece of paper? Actually, our conscious brain has a difficult time to remember ten or more digits or sometimes many events that happen the same day because an average person loses focus every six to ten seconds; a research by neurologist or brain scientist. It is why, all books were written paragraphs to another breaking the lines of the text and if it is written in only one long paragraph; who can really read them. Now! Are you not glad that part of your precious brain is not in charge of all your biochemistry? Try thinking about all those biochemical reactions going on inside us (the number, in case you have forgotten, is ten quadrillion reactions per second) and if you have to do all that with your brain, we may not last for five seconds; that is the fact of the conscious brain; and yet this is the part of the brain that most of us are trusting with our valued lifetime dreams and goals; that is the bad news. But on the other side, here is the good news; while your conscious brain cannot possibly keep track or absorb all that pressure; your non-conscious brain can do the job non-stop, for twenty-four hours a day, which is every day of your life. Now, if your conscious brain is a lot more limited than you can realised; your non-conscious brain is actually more powerful than we can ever imagined; and if your conscious brain is the captain, than your non-conscious brain is the guy at the engine room along with everyone else on board. Our Brain, just like a ship, requires shipping crews to fulfilling every function that makes the ship moves and doing it impeccably, perfectly at every moment.Bear in mind, just how often your conscious brain loses focus; that is every six to ten seconds; but guess how often your non-conscious brain loses focus; it never, nor once and never ever. The conscious compare with the non-conscious Summary Conscious Brain; it occupies 17 percent of the total brain mass (approximately about one-sixth of the brain’s weight) only controls two to four percent of actual perceptions and behaviour. Whereas, the non-conscious brain occupies 83% percent (approx. five-sixth) of the total brain mass and controls 96 to 98 percent of perception and behaviour. Non-conscious impulses travel at the speed of more than 100,000 mph or 800 times faster than the conscious impulses travelling at the speed of 120 to 140 mph. As for the conscious brain it can process about 2,000 bits of information per second and the non-conscious brain processes about 400,000,000,000 (four hundred billion) bits of information per second. The conscious brain is volitional; meaning it is the part that you control by conscious will also the part that sets goals and judges results; whereas, the non-conscious brain is servile; means it sets no goals of its own, but instead will execute goals it is provided with; and it does not judge the merits or values of results; only whether or not it will match by the given goals. The conscious brain perceives all about the past and future; the non-conscious brain has no perception of past or future; as to the non-conscious brain, everything is happening immediately. The conscious brain operates with a very short-term memory span which in general can limit to only last 20 seconds; whereas the non-conscious brain remembers all things it had experience now and forever. Do you know that it is staggering to contemplate even a fraction of what your non-conscious brain achieves every second of our daily life which all this happen without the faintest shred of conscious awareness on your part. And yet, it would not be accurate to say It happens “without our knowing it” because there is an intelligence that can manage all this complex maze of biochemical activities and that intelligence is in fact “you”. It is known that your non-conscious brain is also the repository of all your habits both physically and mentally, which in other words, in addition to running the basic operating system, it also runs all our programmable software. Apart from this, it proves to demand an absolutely staggering amount of moment-to- moment daily activity; just imagined and observed how an infant go through the process of learning how to walk, we will have the sense of just how complex an activity can be. Scientists have taken decades to develop a robot that can walk naturally without losing its balance; and while a Human once being having studied the sequence, learned it and mastered it out, we can do it all the time without giving a thought. We are able to walk, tie our shoe laces, speaking several dialects or languages, do typing with our computers, and practically driving our car without thinking at all. What is more than our habits covering a good deal of more ground than just these basics and physical routines? A question, have you ever had the experience of getting into your car with the next thing you know that you are at home even without clear memory of having driven there because you are so lost in thought? If you were not paying any attention, the question is again, why you did not crash the car? Then how is that you can reach at the right house safely? Actually it is the force of Habits considered a slightly more complex form of habit than tying the shoe laces still nonetheless is a type of habit. Now shall we ask, what is a habit? It is something that we are repeating over and over again to the point where you do not need to think about it consciously in order to repeat the process perfectly and it applies not only things you do physically, but also your thoughts. It is eventually become a habit of thoughts over the time (repetition) which will becomes an attitude or belief. Force of Habit/Belief Belief are not necessary consider as the truth at all; at the same time belief are not some special category of idea sitting at a higher station of truth than our ordinary daily mortal thoughts. (Can you recall that there is a time when everybody believed the earth was flat?) Therefore, beliefs are nothing more than specific neutral patterns in our brain, and thoughts that are so ingrained they will become automatic. The beliefs are not there because they are “the truth” it was because they are simply handed down from generation to generation just as someone had planted and put them there. This is not a challenge against religious beliefs or views; it is to say that beliefs are our habits of thought, opinion, and attitude about the world/society around us; especially your beliefs about you, about your life and prospects for financial fulfilment. By the time when someone reached their seventeen years old, they may probably heard the phase “No you cannot” for an average of 150,000 times and may heard saying “yes you can” about 5000 times which means there is thirty no’s for every yes; and that makes a powerful belief of “No I cannot”. More than often, most people view their own goals in the form of hopes or wishes; for an example such as; I hope I can succeed in my business and start making my millions. The biggest obstacle to people’s goals or lifetime dreams has nothing to do with the external conditions or factors; it is actually, simply, planted in their mind such as; I do not believe that it can happen or that this thing can be done; so if you believe that it cannot happen, it is almost guaranteed that that it will not happen. One will not be able to achieve their goals, lifetime dreams simply because you do not belief that you can achieve; because those beliefs live in that part of our brain that is conducting the show, even though we are not aware of it. For an example, let us say that you love your family very much and place a high value on the family; which one of your biggest goals or dreams in life is to create much richness for the family to stay comfortably; so you belief that the only way to be truly successful and earn more than enough for the family is to work real really hard; so what happens next? You will end up working for more than ten hours and ending up not having time for your family; why is it so, because you do not value them; but no, I really valued them; then alright; but your beliefs have captive on that ten hours track, which like a hamster on the wheel; it is beliefs that trump desires, each and every time. If you have accumulated debts and financial problems in life always, lack of money is not the problem, it is only the symptom; because lack of money is simply the fruit; now to find the cause, one have to look at the seed; which the fruit will match the seed; and the seed is actually our habits of the thought. Well now, here is the problem; beliefs tend to be self fulfilling, this is because habits are thousand times stronger than desires; which worth to re-instate, it is not three times, ten times but thousands of times stronger. A person may have the desire to increase the income by tenfold, but if the habits of thought do not expect anything like that to occur than it will next to impossible for it to happen; that someone will take no lasting and productive actions toward that goal. Why not;It is because you’re habits, not your desires or other conscious thoughts, that run your action; this is the greatest discoveries of neurological research since the past decade; 96 to 98 percent of all our behaviours are considered automatic. That is the reason; setting of goals and not be able to reach them; setting the goals is the function of the conscious mind; reaching the goals is the function of the non-conscious mind. Tapping the Power of the Quantum Universe Let us discuss a critical question; what if the beliefs you presently have is not serving you, and how can you change them? What are the tactics and ways to adopt new beliefs? The answer is; you could use your will power and make simple decisions to have new beliefs; and that could probably work in a few minutes; but again conscious thoughts are hard to sustain as we have seen. If you decide to change your habits and beliefs, it is important to do it where they reside; which is in the non-conscious mind; the so call, “the dog that wags the tail”. The conscious mind is excellent at assessing the situation and formulating a plan; is where you design your new beliefs, but it is not where you can hold those beliefs. It is seem to like a conductor; he understand all about music perfectly with a masterful sense of how it should sound, but actually not playing any of the musical instruments; also unless he gets the members of the Orchestra to play those musical instruments, the music remains nothing at all but an idea in the head, without a sound to be heard; which is exactly happens to all people’s goals. To restrain this non-conscious part of our personality is a two step process; first, using our conscious faculties, you the thoughts, you want to have as your beliefs, then you systematically impress these thoughts on the non-conscious part of the brain. Can you remember the analogy of placing an order at the restaurant? Well it is just exactly what it’s like; search and chose a thought from the Universe of possibilities is like sitting down in a restaurant and starting to choose from the menu. So after you have chosen the food, you will start to imagine that delicious meal and will silently congratulate our self, knowing that you had make an excellent choice; now the stomach start to rumbles, the meal is ready for us to consume, but still there is a problem; no matter how great the choice is made and how wonderful the food is going to be, the plate is still empty. We continue to tuck the napkin under our chin holding on the fork and knife ready in anticipation; oh, no! Still no food is place on the plate; now what is missing? Actually we have not yet placed the order; it is just like the frog that has not jump from the lily pad; so until we relay our order to the kitchen, nothing will happen; although we know what we want but nothing is being cooked back here! So talking about the glory of the conscious mind is that using the willpower and imagination, an idea can be pluck out of the quantum sea of possibilities. Of course! We can choose what we think; but our mistake is assuming that because we have that idea, we will act on it; we believe that because we think it, and will do it. Then the odds are we will not, unless we take those conscious thoughts, pump them to impeccable clarity and deliver them to our non-conscious faculties; this will make the difference between setting goals and achieving goals. Urge of setting goals is a conscious exercise; realising and achieving goals is a spiritual and non-conscious exercise. In order to achieve our goals; to actually create and build our dream lifestyle or business, it is important to utilise both parts of our brain, that most of us had never been taught how to do it exactly. We should start by using our conscious faculties, our imagination, intuition, reasoning and the rest to craft a crystal clear picture of our dream goals; that is the perfect seed; then, using a broad repertoire of simple imprinting techniques that mimic the way you first learned the beliefs you presently hold, you are going to plant the seed in the fertile soil as of the non-conscious brain. The Rolling Stones use to sing; “you cannot get what you want” and they are absolutely right because what you want has very little to do with what you end up getting. Simply craving the desire to achieve something does absolutely no good in and of itself, you want all what you want and nothing can happens, but impress that desire onto the centre of your brain as a set of instructions and you shall transform that desire into a habit of thought; a belief. It is apparent that once you do that, no force in this world will be able to stop it from happening. Mind Trivia's Most of us use less than only 10% of our brain potential although we have access to the rest. We use more than 10% when we have a moment of creativity and inspiration. The concept of a light bulb next to a person who have suddenly thought of an idea (in comic books, cartoons, or movies) came from Scientist Manuel Schoch’s research and observation - that when the brain is in a state of tranquility & observation, the brain lights up and we can access more information. Our mind is inherently complex and likes to complicate things. Whereas, much in life is simple or has a simple (obvious) solution. We often miss what's on our nose! Left and Right Brain Relationship: Left Brain - logical, male, west, scientific, grasping, conceptualizing, analytical Right Brain - emotional, female, east, intuitive, spatial, creative, artistic, receptive We have approximately 50,000 - 60,000 thoughts per day. Unfortunately, 95% of those thoughts we had today are the same ones we had yesterday! That would make only 5% of thoughts we think are new each day. Are you thinking about what you're thinking about?

Anonymous When faced with ill-natured people, we should think about the fact that in the past they failed to see the harmfulness of the disturbing emotions which now overwhelm them. They became accustomed to giving them full reign and this familiarity has carried over into their present life. Nor can they have created much positive energy. All of this accounts for their unpleasant conduct. If we are constantly surrounded by nice people who treat us well and by those that are in good health, we will lack the opportunity to increase our compassion. Therefore, when such a rare opportunity presents itself, we recognize its value and cherish it. In this way we use adverse circumstances to support our spiritual practice, which is a central theme of the instructions for training the mind. People who are difficult to deal with offer us a precious chance to train ourselves to be loving, compassionate and altruistic...That is why they are like a precious treasure. When I see ill-natured people, Overwhelmed by wrongdoing and pain, May I cherish them as something rare, As though I had found a treasure trove?

Summary and Conclusion There is something essential in man in which it is what it sets him apart from other creatures and creations in this world the human mind. This is what makes him behave properly, speak sensibly, act due to a certain cause, and stay surviving despite many obstacles and problems he faces in life. Powerful, isn’t it? The power of the human mind is so strong that it makes man possess an ability to mold his personality, create his future, build his destiny, and turn his dreams into reality – a power so real and even greater, better, and more efficient than all other supernatural powers only created by the imagination. The human mind does all these things, or should I say power, because of its unique characteristics and nature. It is comparable to a mirror in the sense that it is open and vast, reflects in full and precise details, unbiased towards any impression, distinguishes clearly, and is a potential for having everything already accomplished. These mind features help man generate 2 kinds of thoughts: positive and negative. Positive thoughts are healthy, constructive, and good ideas, while negative thoughts are the exact opposite – unhealthy, destructive, and bad ideas being produced by the mind. The mind produces all sorts of things that can be classified into either positive or negative thoughts to the point where there exists a clash between them. They fight against each other to win over the individual’s decision to which these thoughts would be taken into action. Choosing what kinds of thought to be acted upon depends on the individual’s way of thinking. Positive thinking is the manner of looking at the good and bright things in life. Thus, if he is optimistic, he only entertains positive thoughts, making them succeed over the negative ones. On the other hand, negative thinking is the way of viewing life’s worries, doubts, and fears. Thus, if he is pessimistic, he ignores positive thoughts and minds only the negative ones which are those that won in the clash. This is also where the power of the mind starts manifesting. Positive thinking creates positive reality in such a way that it molds one’s personality in good shape, makes his future clear, builds his destiny with directions, and turns his sweet dreams into reality. Negative thinking just the same has its power. Only, it creates negative reality – still the exact opposite of positive thinking. It molds one’s personality with defects, makes his future vague, builds his destiny without directions, and turns his nightmares into reality. This is how powerful the mind can be? It’s now up to us what reality we want to face; thus, what kind of thinking should we possess? Obviously, the positive kind of thinking is what’s more preferable between the two. It will lead us in the right way in establishing a better life. Unfortunately, not all of us are optimistic. In fact, there are a lot of people who lives by the thought “I can’t.” Luckily, negative thinking is not a hopeless case. As spontaneous as our minds can be, we can still train them to ignore negative thoughts and focus only with the positive ones. These ways include starting the day with cheers and smiles, asking for guidance, planning the day ahead, being detached from the outcome, balancing one’s desires, and a lot more. Making these tips a regular habit will cause one to realize that looking at the bright side of life is not at all difficult. It is easy plus it creates great outcomes. Thinking positively is only the first half of mind power. The other half is turning the positive thoughts into actions. And this is where will power comes in the one responsible for making things happen. It’s like the voice inside our system that makes us do things in order for our thoughts to become real. Mind and will power is not at all distinct from one other. When one thinks with the mind, the body immediately does actions willingly to attain whatever it is in the mind. Some common situations that individual finds difficult to face include personality polishing, making many friends, finding true love, reaching goals in life, and eventually, being recognized by the society. In the event that he thinks he does not perform well in such situations, he already concludes, “I can’t” without even trying. Therefore, he really will not. Where, in fact, if he just made the right programming in his mind that he can actually do it, then he will. See, how powerful the mind is? You do not need to be a Superman or any of the X-men, or simply a superhero to possess a power because you already have a power. All it takes is the right way of thinking, plus the proper attitude, to become a superhero in your own ways. And what is the right way of thinking? It’s simple. It’s “I can. Therefore, I will.” Check WALHELLO greatest Internet Search Engine FREE URL Submission - Submit your site to dozens of top search engines for FREE. No strings attached!
