What the mind can do amazes man. What others can do naturally is a mystery to some. The secret is, without heart, the mind is just an organ that functions less than half of its capability.

There are so many studies about the power of the mind. Some of its known abilities were transformed and brought into the big screen by Hollywood film makers. Many of which were done based on truthful and in-depth analysis of the matter yet somehow the public is only aware of its power and not the reason for having such power.
For instance, I received an e-mail about one of my much-read article about witchcraft. Just by reading the said article, the reader claims to have been possessed by evil spirits. Can it be possible? The answer is no. The contention of being affected so much by just reading an article, watching a movie or the news has no basis at all. My article alone is read by my proof reader then my editor before it is printed for production. How come they were not possessed at all? It is because their objective in handling the article is different as compared to the objective of this person who claims to be possessed.
The main reason for all written and published articles, as well as news and movie films is to disseminate factual information. Although some were created for entertainment, still, the message is clear, the authors’ objective is to disseminate information regarding a chosen subject matter and nothing else.
If the reader chooses to follow the information to be like one, then it is not the writer’s fault but the reader himself. There are no manifestations that encourage anybody to do such things in any article; it only gives information as to how it works and why it is effective. When we know something is bad, then why follow? Instead, our reaction must be that of protecting ourselves from such negative impact based on the factual information laid in front of us.
If we choose to try and practice such information given, then it is not the writer’s fault but the reader’s choice. For example, in the Bible, when Lot and his two daughters survived and made love in the cave after the annihilation of Sodom and Gomorrah, does it promote incestuous relationship between father and daughter? Of course not, we ourselves use our mind to dwell on the deeper meaning of what was written, that it was allowed to happen to preserve and continue life after Sodom and Gomorrah.
SUGGESTIVE NATURE:
The mind follows what we suggest to believe. In our Psychology class during my college days, I still remember doing a group experiment in Makati, Quad cinema area, now Glorietta commercial district. My schoolmate and I were looking at the sky pretending to see something spectacular even though there’s none. In a span of one minute, several people were also looking at the sky searching for the “spectacular thing” we’re supposedly seeing. After about two minutes, some of those in the crowd claimed to see those “spectacular things” we just made of. And the wonder of it all is that the others now believed what we created to happen. And before things went wild, the mall guard approached us and stopped us with our experiment.
The conclusion is, once the mind is suggested with something or anything, the mind, the body, and even the other person start to see things; from imagination into a perceived reality. The mind can be used by means of suggestion into helpful and useful matters. In medical procedures, there is what they call a placebo treatment. It is a medical procedure wherein a patient is administered with false drug or no drug at all and the patient, thinking he is getting the medicine he needs, eventually gets well. The truth is, what we suggest in our mind with deep emotion will come into reality. Negative thoughts are very bad. Thinking or wishing something bad to someone who did you no wrong will just boomerang to the person who wishes it while wishing something bad to those who have offended you will only create a never ending cycle of negativity to both parties.
For a successful life using the mind, try suggesting to yourself every morning that everything is beautiful and right. Force yourself to believe that problems are just spices of life that make things better for all mankind. Believe that God created the world in perfection and unison with the entire universe so that whatever is in store for us for the day is the perfect thing for us.
For an experiment, expect a call that will give you good news, whether you are really expecting one or not. It is proven a million times that it works. Try it today. The longest waiting period is three days. If you think well, expect good, and believe in goodness, then good things will happen in your life.
