What Is It?
The Story of the Butterfly
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole. Then it stopped, as if it couldn’t go further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon. The butterfly emerged easily but it had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch it, expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge and expand enough to support the body, Neither happened! In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around. It was never able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand: The restricting cocoon and the struggle required by the butterfly to get through the opening was a way of forcing the fluid from the body into the wings so that it would be ready for flight once that was achieved. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us. We will not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.
I came across this story somewhere… Untitled This is from an old story, back in the ’30s, in the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less. A 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” the little boy asked. “Fifty cents,” replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins he had. “Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he inquired. By now, more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing very impatient. “Thirty-five cents,” she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry. As she wiped down the table, there placed neatly beside the empty dish were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn’t have the sundae because he had to have enoughmoney to leave her a tip.
Boy Giving Blood There was a story of a little girl named Liza who was suffering from a disease and needed blood from her five-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I’ll do it if it will save Liza.” As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?” Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give her all his blood.
Exploring And Discovering The Infinite And Creative Power Of The Human Mind...Your Mind and How To Utilize It Consciously, Intentionally and Purposefully To Consistently Create Desired Results
Mind Power "The Potential Of The Human Mind Is Subject To, And Limited Only By, Our Individual Beliefs or not To Whether We Can Accomplish A Thing Or Not. Human Mind Power is evidenced in the fact that we always get to be right" -Chuck Danes
"Men and women are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Without question nearly everyone has at least heard something with regard to our Human Mind Power, but let me ask you...do you take that literally? Do you really grasp and understand the infinite potential that exists and is readily available to you to create a kind and quality of life limited only by your willingness or unwillingness to "conceive" something as possible for you? More importantly do you know how to consciously utilize YOUR Mind Power...this very same Mind Power that we all possess without exception to consistently create desired results? And most importantly of all, if you're not aware, are you ready, willing and open to develop the understanding that will enable you to do so? Because the fact of the matter is, whether you're consciously aware of it or not, or ready to accept it or not, you're already using your mind power every second of every minute of everyday. And granted, many...the vast majority in fact use theirs "unconsciously"...with zero awareness of the incredible and awesome creative power they've been provided individually, all the while "perceiving" that they have no power at all. And it's possible, quite probable in fact that since it is the vast majority that "perceive" themselves as having no power...real power I mean, chances are greater than not that you are one of those who "believe" the same thing. Oh but you do. We all do without exception. The science of Quantum Physics as well as many other areas of science have made great strides in showing those who choose to venture out and explore just a bit what 21st century scientists have discovered and back it up with plenty of tangible evidence regarding just how "real and true" that is. And what they've discovered in a phrase is that it's the kind and quality of your consciousness that without exception determines the kind and quality of your life.
Each and EVERY aspect of your life...Physically, financially, relationally, emotionally and spiritually.
Choosing to develop the understanding...to enhance your awareness with regard to how "true" that is combined with a willingness to consciously and consistently apply that understanding will enable and empower you to create a kind and quality of life for yourself that transcends what's often referred to by the vast majority as "common logic." Consciously and intentionally utilized mind power provides outcomes...tangible results a kind of quality of which are often "perceived" and widely "believed" as being irrational, illogical and quite "uncommon." And those that choose to utilize their mind power in that way get to be right. Those who choose to remain unaware and follow the limited thinking processes of the vast majority also get to be right. We always do regardless of which choices we make individually. You simply can't NOT use the mind power that we all possess. Since that is the case as modern day science as well as the mystics, sages and masters since antiquity have made very clear for more than 6000 years wouldn't it be only "logical" and reasonable to learn and understand how to begin using your mind power in a way that provided more of what you want rather than more of what you don't want? Well...you can whenever you choose to do so. And once that choice is made you can begin reclaiming your "True Power" by learning and understanding how to use your mind power consciously and intentionally. So the next question might be, how far does this "True Power" go?
Here's the documented, substantiated and easily verifiable "truth"...
Human mind power is unlimited in it's potential to create the results you desire, WHATEVER they might be. There are no limits with the exception of the limits you place on yourself. When mind power is utilized "unconsciously" it's just as true that "undesirable results" can be and often are experienced as well. Unfortunately, that's how the vast majority utilize their individual power...unconsciously and as a result "perceive" themselves as "powerless." And like we all do, they too get to be right. What makes this mind power real and how is it that you "truly can" utilize your individual mind power to make whatever desires you hold "real and tangible?" Well in a phrase, it's due to the infusion, integration and intricately interconnected nature of the conscious mind, the subconscious mind and the Super Conscious Mind also referred to as Universal Consciousness. I know from personal experience how illogical and impractical that might sound based on what we have been predominantly taught regarding reality, but I'm going to ask that you think outside the box for just a moment and consider this. Really think about this. Look around at your results...make a choice to become brutally honest with yourself regarding the quality of consciousness that you choose for yourself on a moment by moment basis and no further investigation or research is necessary. You'll clearly see the power of your mind and how it is, always has been and always will at work creating each and every outcome that you experience in your life. Making the choice to become conscious and aware of how true that is and you'll have validated that fact for yourself. It's human mind power that determines EVERY aspect of your reality and it's your individual choice or choices that determine what you will or will not experience. In fact, let's bring it a bit closer to home... YOUR individual mind power is all that's required to create and experience a kind and quality of life that you desire for yourself once you become keenly and consciously aware of that fact and make a conscious and intentional choice to discover how to utilize the limitless creative power provided to you, me and everyone else on this planet in a way that harmonizes with whatever visions, hopes, dreams and desires you hold for yourself. By coming to a basic understanding of this power, coupled with establishing a conscious awareness of the immutable and unwavering Universal Laws and Spiritual Principles that oversee and govern the entire process of creation and support your ability to do so, you can begin to develop the awareness of and benefit from an infinite supply of wisdom, knowledge and power which is equally available to all...regardless.
Real Power of infinite proportion.
And the real beauty of it is, reclaiming your "Real Power" requires nothing more or less than a choice. A conscious and intentional choice on your part. A choice to do so can, will and does enable and empower you to begin effortlessly creating a life of "limitless" Abundance and Happiness that has ALWAYS been available to you yet due to a lack of awareness and understanding has eluded so many to this point. So what "facts" exist that substantiate your ability to utilize this mind power in a way that produces these "desired" results?
Human mind power is made possible and fueled by consciousness much like the brain is utilized and fueled by the mind. As both science and the masters have clearly shown, Consciousness is all pervasive. There's nothing that consciousness is not. ALL things past, present and future exist, have existed and will exist due to an initial conceptualization...a thought...an idea...an insight. That's where EVERYTHING...and I do mean EVERYTHING began. And you do this every second of every minute of every day without fail. In fact you can't NOT do it. And if you doubt it, go ahead and prove it to yourself right now and try to NOT THINK. You can't plain and simple. But you can with some work and discipline master the ability to think in a certain way. Contrary to what the majority have developed perceptions and beliefs concerning relating to an individuals ability to exercise their inalienable right of free will to consciously and purposefully bring about "desired" results in their lives, it is possible to create and experience a life of joy, passion, purpose, harmony and fulfillment without all the struggle and sacrifice that the vast majority "perceive" as being necessary. It's simply a matter of becoming "conscious" of the quality of "consciousness" that you choose for yourself which reveals your individually held perceptions about life...about yourself...and about your world. These perceptions are only determined by what you have been programmed to believe, thereby, in the vast majority of cases limiting your full potential to exercise the limitless power freely provided to you to consciously create desired results in each and every area of your life. Human Mind Power...YOUR mind power is not what many would refer to as "logical" or "practical" from the majority's perspective due to traditionally established and self limiting teachings which so many have been exposed to, accepted as "truth" and as a result have been limited by throughout their lives. It is through a willingness to look beyond or deeper than these traditionally established beliefs and what "appears" as real in the physical world to discover just how "real and true" it is. It's as simple and as difficult as making a conscious and intentional choice to expand your awareness with regard to yourself and the mind power provided to you. Making that choice is the first step in the awakening and conscious creation process. This "Awakening" as I like to refer to it requires an individual choice to develop a deeper understanding of where all things physical are derived from, understanding your place in the bigger scheme of things, thereby enabling and empowering you to begin consciously utilizing the mind power you possess to begin consistently molding and shaping your life with consciously focused intent and awaken to this "True Power" that is and always has been available to you. And if this is new to you, rest assured when you first discover how "true" that is, you'll become extremely excited. The recognition of this ability of your mind as well as the simplicity of the "process" to begin consciously attracting and creating each event, condition and circumstance in every area of life becomes blatantly obvious once you develop an awareness and basic understanding of the Universal Laws and principles, which I personally refer to as the "Perfect Plan", that support and make possible your ability to do so. By becoming aware of and consciously harmonizing your thoughts, emotions, words, and actions with these profoundly powerful yet simple principles, and following proven, time tested strategies to begin consciously and purposefully enhancing mind function and development, you'll find as so many have, that you can literally "attract" and "allow" "True Wealth" in EVERY area of your life to flow to you, through the never wavering process of attraction, (what's recently been labeled as The Law of Attraction) which up to this point you may have been "trying" so hard to accomplish, yet with extremely limited results. This ability begins with establishing an awareness of the various aspects of mind and learning to consciously harmonize that awareness which will enable and empower you to clearly recognize, understand and begin to "consciously" utilize your individual ability to attract, create and experience harmonious and fulfilling results in EVERY aspect of your life. Through the years, there have been countless scientific studies done, and experiments performed, on the subject of human mind power. In the spiritual community it is witnessed regularly, the ability of an individuals mind power to reverse and heal illness and disease that the conventional medical community had previously considered and labeled as irreversible. Many attribute such occurrences, often referred to as "Miracles" to something outside of themselves, happening only as a result of fate or chance, and have come to believe that these things can happen only to an isolated and "Lucky" few. In the medical community, it has become clearly evident through extensive studies and experiments that human mind power can and does literally reverse illness and disease utilizing what are "believed" and "perceived" as medications or medical procedures utilized to create a "belief" in the patient that these substances and/or procedures will heal them which are commonly known as placebos .
So how can you become more aware of and begin to consciously utilize the mind power that you possess?
By becoming aware of and developing a basic understanding of both Cosmology which attempts to explain and better understand the existence and nature of reality and Quantum Physics , which is the scientific study of the basic building blocks of ALL things in the cosmos at the subatomic level, (energy) the mind power that you already possess becomes apparent in shaping the events, conditions and circumstances which make up each area of your life whether physically, financially, relationally, emotionally or spiritually. Through establishing an awareness and deeper understanding concerning the limitless mind power freely provided to each and every individual, it will soon become evident that your individual ability to utilize your mind power, once discovered and "consciously" utilized, can and will enable you to begin attracting and experiencing desired "miracles" in every area of your life. Once a deeper understanding of both Quantum Physics as well as Cosmology are acquired, combined with any spiritual understanding you might have with regard to your life and how it unfolds, the puzzle pieces begin to come together in a profoundly empowering way enabling you to see and fully understand how and why you...more specifically the individual mind power provided to you can and does mold and shape each and every aspect of your life.
An Extremely Important Distinction Between Mind Power and Brain Power
First of all it is important to understand that the human brain and the mind are not the same things. Both the mind and mind power are purely a non physical aspect of you capable only of processing pure consciousness (unseen or spiritual), while the brain is the physical tool that the mind utilizes to process the thoughts derived from consciousness, enabling the manifestation or the physical appearance of the thing thought of (the ideal) in the physical world. It has been found that the average person utilizes only 10% or less of their brains capability. What about the other 90%? Would our Creator (Source) have provided us with physical resources and attributes that he/she/it had no intention for us to use? Is it possible that by becoming consciously aware of the "True Power" of your mind, the fact that human mind power is "Infinite" in nature limited only by a lack of awareness and understanding concerning it's "true" capability that you would become enabled and empowered to begin "consciously" creating desired outcomes in each and every area of your life? As the spiritual masters, texts and sages have claimed and taught for thousands of years as well as the recent discoveries made through advanced science the answer to that question is...Absolutely!! Once individual human mind power is fully understood and you are made aware of it's "infinite" nature, is it possible that the brains ability to expand it's function at much greater capacity than most "perceive" to be possible would enable you to dramatically increase outcomes, providing far more "desired" results with far less "physical effort" than what you currently perceive as "logical" or "practical" in the physical world?
RISK IT !!!!
Again, as the spiritual masters, texts and sages have claimed and taught for thousands of years as well as the most recent cutting edge discoveries made through advanced science the answer to that question is...Absolutely!!
So, how do you begin utilizing this mind power in a way that produces desired results and establish the necessary belief of your ability to do so?
Those are valid and important questions and ones that we will cover here. A willingness to discover the answers to those questions will assist you in developing a heightened awareness concerning how the brain operates as well as explain how you can consciously harmonize and utilize your mind power to dramatically increase the brains limitless capabilities, as well as specific steps that you can follow to effectively utilize this increased capability to bring into your life, unrealized dreams, desires and circumstances, that up until this point, you may have considered to be out of your reach. By developing an awareness of the functions of the human mind, and establishing a solid belief of your ability to do so, it is possible to consciously and purposefully utilize human mind power to dramatically enhance any area of your life, whether financially, in your relationships, physical healing, as well as the capability to develop and dramatically enhance intuitive ability, (sixth sense) psychic awareness, and a host of other outcomes which fall outside the scope of what is perceived as logical or "possible" based on a strictly and very limited physical perspective. While many are to some extent, vaguely aware of these capabilities, it seems that few take the initiative to develop the depth of awareness necessary to fully utilize and put their individual mind power to work in their everyday lives, which would enable them to attract and experience what it is that they claim that they have a desire to experience in every aspect of their lives. Regardless of what you may currently "perceive" and "believe" to be true with respect to yourself and your ability to utilize your individual mind power, each of us as humans have no more or less capability than another in discovering and learning to begin "consciously" utilizing this incredible force (mind power) in creating whatever it is we choose to create in every area of our lives regardless of formal educational background, age, race, country of origin, gender etc., and both becoming and experiencing more of what it is that we have a desire to become and experience. The only thing that separates the ultra successful from the poor is a matter of conscious awareness,choice and/or belief. The only difference in someone who has psychic ability and one who does not is a lack of awareness of the principles that allow it to develop, as well as a single, or multiple self limiting beliefs that they can attain such a feat, or the lack of focused and intentional action necessary to make it possible. The only difference in ones ability to heal the physical body from another's inability is a lack of conscious awareness and belief (faith) in ones ability to do so, or the absence of "focused and intentional action" that would allow it to occur. From a more physical perspective, the only thing that separates a muscled up body builder from a 90 lb.weakling is the ability to conceive it as an already existing fact in mind, an enhanced awareness as to how to accomplish it, a belief that he can, and/or the willingness to take the action necessary to achieve it. The only thing that limits anyone from accomplishing anything that they can conceive in mind is a missing ingredient from the following equation. Awareness + Desire + Belief + Action = UnlimitedCapability Not a complicated formula, but extremely simple as everything that our Creator or Source has provided us with, complicated and limited only by our analytical thought processes and pre-established beliefs that such things must be difficult or in some cases impossible to achieve. The bottom line is, regardless of what actions you take individually, the process ALWAYS without fail begins at the level of consciousness which is why it is so important for those desiring a greater quality of life to develop and begin consciously utilizing the mind power provided to all.
Although man has successfully made this extremely simple concept appear to be extremely complex, and out of reach of the average person, there are proven and simple means of developing the human mind to consciously and consistently achieve and experience what most would refer to as miracles. There are very basic Universal principles (Spiritual Laws, Natural Laws, Laws of Nature) as well as scientific studies that support and have proven that the average human does have the ability to consciously create through mind power. In fact unbeknownst to many, they already ARE creating each and every event, condition and circumstance that they are currently experiencing in their lives, but due to a lack of deeper understanding or "Awareness" most are doing so "unconsciously." Becoming Aware of, and developing the Understanding of, exactly how these basic principles operate, and becoming consciously aware of their unwavering, immutable and predictable nature, combined with establishing the awareness of your ability to harmonize your individual mind power with their unfailing nature, are the first steps toward realizing your own true potential and power to become a conscious and purposeful creator of the events, conditions and circumstances which make up your life. This deeper understanding and awareness will allow you to create for yourself, the circumstances that allow you to prosper and experience indescribable fulfillment, (in both the mental and physical realms) and begin to experience and enjoy the kind of life that you were created to live. One of joy, fulfillment, inner peace, abundance, and happiness. Where you begin your individual journey is up to you. You get to choose that.
