Mind Yourself, Now

It's all in the mind.

The recipe for chocolate chip cookies, how to walk, talk, and drive a car. Secrets kept since childhood and the secret of the atomic bomb.

All of it. Everything you were, are, and are to be is tucked neatly away in an organ that weighs about 8 pounds and looks like a wrinkled football. The mind fits inside that brain neatly and perfectly. It is neither completely neglected nor fully used at any one time.

If the mind is never fully used, even in the most brilliant people, imagine the power contained within its potential. Imagine if one could bring their full mental powers - conscious and unconcious - to bear on a given problem. Imagine that happening once, and then multiply it by 6 billion people.

Our brains (in which the mind dwells) are so complex, their method of function is still not fully understood by mankind. And if how the mind works is not fully understood, neither is the mind's power.

What if we could tap into previously unused and unseen parts of our own minds, and use these parts? What if we could heal ourselves of every type of disease and malady by sheer focus of our own will to do so? Do you believe it's possible? I do.

I know, this all sounds a bit like The Matrix, but it's not a movie. The potential of the human mind has evidenced itself throughout history in people like Leonardo DiVinci, who could paint "The Last Supper" and using the same imagination, engineer war machines. Think of the Wright Brothers. They were bicycle shop owners. They'd never even worked on a newfangled automobile at the time they built and flew their airplane. There are a million more examples. But, there should be BILLIONS more examples.

We harness the human mind with everything from the laws of physics to the law of the land. We control ourselves by believing the majority of our fellow humans are right on any given matter. A great many believed the sound barrier could not be broken, until it was. Thank God that Chuck Yeager didn't believe what the majority thought. We should all examine our own minds, find and eliminate doubt, fear, and negative thought, and in doing so, throw off the harnesses that have schackled us for as long as we have lived.

Who says you cannot do something great, something you have always dreamed of doing? In the end, it's not your fellow man that squelches your potential. It is you.
