As an illustration of the power of the mind, let’s look at the phenomenon known as Multiple Personality Disorder:
“Another unusual feature of MPD is that each of a multiple's personalities possesses a different brain-wave pattern. In addition to possessing different brain-wave patterns, often each also has his own style of handwriting, artistic talents, foreign language fluency, and IQ.
Even more noteworthy are the biological changes that take place in a multiple's body when they switch personalities. Frequently a medical condition possessed by one personality will mysteriously vanish when another personality takes over. Dr. Bennet Braun of the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality, in Chicago, has documented a case in which all of a patient's sub personalities were allergic to orange juice, except one. If the man drank orange juice when one of his allergic personalities was in control, he would break out in a terrible rash. But if he switched to his non allergic personality, the rash would instantly start to fade and he could drink orange juice freely.
Allergies are not the only thing multiples can switch on and off. Other conditions that can vary from personality to personality include scars, burn marks, cysts, and left- and right-handedness. Visual acuity can differ, and some multiples have to carry two or three different pairs of eyeglasses to accommodate their alternating personalities. One personality can be color-blind and another not, and even eye color can change.”
Or, if you want to see REAL mind power, ask a man whose been married 20-30 years how his love-life is going. "Okay, I guess, after all these years." might be his answer. Now, have a young secretary start working at his office. Let a romance blossom, THEN, ask her about his romantic prowess! Just kidding, ladies! Ahem.
Okay, here's a scientific proof of the power of the mind. NASA researchers had subjects wear special glasses that inverted the image seen by the eye. It was upside down, and the glasses were worn 24 hours a day. Needless to say, the subjects were having a hard time coping. But, after 28-30 days, the mind adjusted. The subjects suddenly saw the the world as they had before.
Here's my wrap up of this: The mind is a tool. It has been programmed by our experiences up to this point in life. You and I have the ability to re-program our minds to tap into the hidden power within us and to explore the resources that exist outside our physical world.
More to come.
