People are fond of using adages without realizing their original source. “Money is the root of all evil” is a famous saying that instantly creates a mindset of poverty within those that feel attributed to certain religions. The saying however, is “the love of money is the root of all evil”. That original saying of itself, is soundly untrue too. All evil does not stem from loving money. Some people are evil because they’re born evil. They are opportunistic beings branded “evil” by their saying and their doing. In actual fact, evil people have a sound disability of the mind. It’s that simple. If their minds were able to allow them to behave and think better, they would, simply because that would then be their tendency. Our minds are very powerful energetic beings that have the ability to control all other features that make us who we are. However, your mind needs a vessel to play out it’s role. Your body.
Learning mindfulness and how to control the internal mind is an awesome way to thrive in our world today. Why? One major reason is because no man is a tree. We have to interact, to communicate, and to be fully conscious of those around us. It’s how we thrive, how most of us survive.
Being conscious means being aware of the slightest things that make you think, say and do things. When monks fast for several weeks eating no food whatsoever, it’s because they are in control, mind-wise. I on the other hand, only have to think about fasting, and I feel hungry.
Mind over body is very meaningful in other ways. For instance, if you seek empowerment via money for the good of others as well as for yourself, you are unconsciously creating a channel of goodness. The universe recognizes this and works in its mysterious ways to allow good to flow, by providing whatever is needed. Just like the monks are provided imaginary food to stay the course of fasting.
While some people get away with evil and others fall prey to evil, we each have much of our destinies in hand. If you sit at the wheel of a car and don’t steer it, it’ll eventually take a wrong course. Your mind is like that. It needs a controller that won’t allow it to run berserk using every neuron available (and there are trillions of those). It is often said that 60 to 90 thousand thoughts are created in each individual everyday. Of course it’s not possible to catch all of them, but which ones are you letting control you? How many of those thoughts are recyclers? They visit you so often, multiple times daily, that they become a hassle to get rid of. In fact they have their own street name carved into your brain.
Have you ever sat still enough to visit your mind control center? Or to simply zoom in to catch a group of thoughts as they parade by? If you did, you’ll simply be amazed. My thought checking journey took me into songs and tunes that play in my head on any given good or less good day. Little did I know that those beautiful Ballards, wailing love chords that I love so much, put me in an emotional state. It’s like hypnosis on wheels. You don’t know what’s coming at you till you tune in. I found that my day, my thoughts, words and actions on any given day, were driven by the words of the song embedded in my subconscious. Love melodies are good if you can revise the actual words. Fine-tune them into words of empowerment, instead of developing emotional paralysis in the process of enjoyment.
Once I realized the trick my mind had had over me for decades, I began the slow journey to claiming back what was mine: “Mind over body with ME at the helm.” Personal Cybersecurity. No code let loose. You wanna know how?
