MIND You, Can probably do more.

Using the mind we can control so much of ourselves. Subconciously we control everything within our bodies such as breathing, moving blood around, generating energy and using it, creating skin and repairing self among lots of other things.

We can train ourselves to do so much more but it often forgotten that the mind is the control. We train ourselves to do sports, move our bodies in different ways to different actions. We learn to read and write – processing patterns and replicating them with movements all controlled with the mind.

How about when we choose to control some of the subconsious things in life. For example while swimming, we control our breathing so we don’t swallow water and drown ourselves.

What if we took control of other things like healing – I don’t think it will be simple but think its viable to do. Our mind knows how to heal the body – its been doing it automatically in the background – but what if we give it a priority. Is it possable – I Think it is and hope to procede further with it.

Many years ago at school (in the early 1990′s) I learned that I could lower my temperature in my hands and feet by thought. It took concentration, and trying to quieten everything around me so that I could cool down.

I understood that when blood circulation is slowed down, the body wasn’t working as hard and didn’t produce the heat that kept the body warm. I’m not sure if its true that but in my mind it conciously logically made sense and seemed to cool my hands and feet down.

That was an experiment in life, I just wondered if it was true – it is very useful in a hot summer as some people can say my hands are freezing sometimes while its boiling hot everywhere.

It didn’t work right away, and took weeks of trying with an active imagination of what if, and then it worked.. Small problem is it takes ages for them to warm up again – I’ve not quite worked the reverse out yet and its over 15 years since I learned it.

Existance – What ?

I sometimes think about the existance of us all. Why we exist and what is existance – Are we existing because we are a person, or people or is it the mind that is what we are?

Are we just a mixture of memories moulded from time spent with other people or alone – mixed experiences or did we have something before that? Something we liked, enjoyed, hated. Did we have habits pre-programmed into us that create who we are or help when mixed with an upbringing.

Is it just that – an upbringing – we are the people that other people made us – we had no before, we were born and then people and things around us made us who we are…

Is existance being a person – a body here for the world to see in general. When people are in accidents and loose a limb are they less of a person in existance terms – a question to ask yourself

Do we exist only when in this world or is there other levels of existance. Often i’ve seen that people say they’re is a higher state of existance – usually in a medatative state where the body is not where life is but where the mind is focused instead.

The body is a SHELL

Shell of life

When I consider who I am, I think of myself not just as a body, a person but a mind within a body. The body is the shell that protects and holds our mind and allows us to interact with others on this plane of existance.

I believe we are on a journey and life, this existance within a body is one level that we procede through at one point in our journey. I believe that life has always existed and we did before here in this body and will continue well after.

The mind/soul does not require the body to exist but may require it to process information on this level and interact within this existance.

Sometimes it is odd what I think about and sometimes it just is.

Raising money – An idea

Helping myself and friends out of debt… an idea. Can we raise money sponsor wise etc to help support ourselves to pay for past education and time as a student that has got many of us in debt.

I’ve a variety of ideas and found loads of sites to help fund raise but most require a few of us to do them. My plan would be to try and get 4 to 5 people together or more to do this. We run a variety of events and the profits split between us to pay for studenthood and past debts to try and clear an overhead that is over so many of us.

We’ve all heard of “debt” agencies but who here would like to get rid of Credit cards, overdrafts, loans etc. I rekon that if we worked together we could probably make quite a difference – but working together is something thats always been hard for people in general.

Anyone know who would be interested? I have a few people in mind, some of which I know reads here.
