Mind Over Matter


The power of mind and the extent of its abilities have long been pondered, discussed and challenged. Yoga and meditation bring about the manifestation of the power of mind over body. Stories documenting the efficacy of these disciplines are widely known and broadcasted everyday by media. I have often tried to understand the importance of total control over the mind which my grandmother often emphasized. Sadly, youth harbors impatience rather than the desire of understanding the unknown, consequently the potency of mind control has evaded me. These days, I have come across discussions on the effect of human mind everywhere...in books, tv shows and newspapers! Apparently, it has caught everyone's fancy and is the hottest form of discussion! Dan Brown's latest release "The Lost Symbol" is along similar lines... it talks about the role of man as God if only he would realize the power his brain can unleash! Whereas..."The monk who sold his ferrari" openly discusses mind control and the secret of happiness!

How much truth do these facts hold.... I do not know. But personally, I have witnessed the chaos caused by the lack of 'mind control'. So naturally, in my books reverse psyhcology hints at the positive effects of having it in your life!


On a slightly related topic... (I could not resist sharing with you guys and gals)...Here is a little inspiration I found...the eagle 'fishing' a shark!.... apparently the forward was titled.. Performance Measure: Goal for the New Year!

Nice post. I fully understand what you are saying. However, many people, especially in the West, have different understanding of what is meant by "mind control". Some think mind control is self hypnosis. But many people think mind control is controlling someone else's mind, which is also known as brainwashing.

That is an awesome picture.

Happy New Year to you and your family.
