The Magic of Mind PowerWhat it is.
You and I both know that we have mind because we think. Mind power is a peculiar ability that is possessed by beings that are conscious or that think. It refers to the effect of the thoughts or consciousness of a being on his/her circumstance and environment. This is the greatest power that humans possess. By its correct application, there is naught which may not be achieved, within the limits of Universal Law - no obstacles which may not be surmounted. Indeed, by this means, a human being may so dominate and direct the affairs of his/her life as to be regarded as a veritable master of his/her existence. How can it be harnessed? There is one fact you must know: you cannot escape or avoid influencing the conditions of your life using mind power! By your thoughts and through your emotions you exert a force for good or ill. Unfortunately, though, most of us, by our negative thoughts and feelings, tend to create for ourselves the very conditions we detest. Simply put, in the control of your thoughts (your consciousness) is the key to harnessing this great power. What you think feelingly, you create. Robert Collier put this brilliantly and I paraphrase him below: "…realize in your daily life that 'matter' is merely an aggregation of protons and electrons subject entirely to the control of Mind; that your environment, your success, your happiness, are all of your own making… Mind - thought - is the only creator. The great business of life is thinking. Control your thoughts and you control circumstance." Faculties. Since the powers of mind manifest through various faculties (for instance, imagination, reason, intuition and will, to name a few) we can also approach the harnessing of mind power by developing these faculties. Just as we can strengthen the muscles of the body by exercising them, so we can enhance our mental faculties through regular use. Calling on the mental faculties, expecting them to respond, awakens them to higher functioning. However, so limitless is the mind that we cannot say we know all its faculties. Often, in the course of solving a problem that means much to us, we mobilize some nameless faculty that produces the required solution. Such is the nature of so-called "miracles"...
