HOW TO CONTROL YOUR MIND!

I do not have a Masters in Psychology. I don't know much about a human mind. But I'm pretty sure...... ill save this statement for the last!According to the definition given by Wikipedia,"A mind is the set of cognitive faculties that enables consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, and memory—a characteristic of humans, but which also may apply to other life forms".This gives us an idea of what a human mind is all about. But this doesn't explain everything.According to my philosophy,human mind is the only abstract part of the brain that co-exists like a symbiont in a human brain.Human brain has all the information and your MIND reacts to the information in your HOST BRAIN!

 This doesn't explain much right ?Basically this explains everything. The nature of the human mind is totally dependent on its host brain.Now you know the basics of a mind! You know what a human mind works still you don't have control over your mind. People who do YOGA might think i have total control over my mind. Is that right ? Nope! Whenever you do yoga you are advised to take your mind to a calm state and you have your mind wandering over a white space or in your favorite scenario. So who takes control you or your mind? Now this will be a more tougher question! People tell you to control your mind.So are you different from your mind? My thoughts over this question is that you are a share of that "abstract part" of your brain. 

First let me get this concept straight ~What is the difference between you and your mind?

Answer is :You are your very own enemy. You don't believe me ? Okay try taking your self to this scenario(TOTALLY HYPOTHETICAL). You have two options. You can choose only one no matter what. You have to choose between saving a person (a totally unknown person) and taking a bag full of diamonds worth 100 billion dollars. You may choose anyone option and only one.

Ok be honest to yourself you must have considered anyone option as your primary option(pick on sight). Now that is your mind. The one forcing you to take the other option is yourself. If you tell me "i glued myself to one option right from the start" you have become a slave to your mind! Not a bad thing. In this process you have killed your alter ego. Basically every human mind is divided into two parts. Socially people refer to it as 

1) Heart(the alter ego).

2) Senses(this is just our mind but I'm replacing it with the word senses to differentiate between the integral HUMAN MIND and the actual mind we are going to talk about).

 HEART VS SENSES

The first part of your mind takes all the emotional decisions. Aah!! breaking up with your girl friend for a silly fight isn't the work of your heart! It's your freaking Sense! I'm making up another scenario here, a loved one is in trouble. He/She has committed a very vicious crime or an act and law is behind his tail. He is in your secret custody. U did not know what he did. He claimed it all to be bogus when he came to you. Now proof says he has done something terrible. You know he could have done that. But you love him and you care for him. Your senses would say he has done a bad thing he should be punished but you couldn't do anything about it. Because your other part says i love him so dearly i can't do this. And this part is your HEART, you protect the beloved person listening to it. These people have a STRONG HEART. Some might even take the unusual option of leading the law to the beloved. Yes these people have a STRONG SENSES. That doesn't mean they have a weak heart. Their senses has a superior power and has emasculated their heart.Now in the fight between your heart and your senses where are you? You are the mixture or combo of both your HEART and your SENSES.

"So what this has to do anything with controlling my mind??" GOOD QUESTION if your mind has been thinking that! You are a mere puppet to your complex MIND. Basically your mind works with the results provided by it's partitions(heart and senses). First of all there is no such thing as good mind or a bad mind. Every mind determines to do something and the outcome is determined as GOOD or BAD by the society! Consider a group killing people from every other religion , some call them TERRORISTS some MIGHT call them heroes! So basically the standards set by the society around a HUMAN MIND shapes the HUMAN MIND! To be more definitive and clear the society your mind lives in is your MIND! Society brands it your mind lives it! We are now being controlled by other minds rather than our own partitions. Do you think that is the trouble ? Nope the trouble is when you start accepting the standards set by OTHER MINDS!Some people kill, some help others. So what do you think makes them do this? So why do you think they are doing this?

Answer is simple. The facts taken in by your mind is the reason behind it. Never blame the society for your actions. Society puts a lot of information in front of your mind. It is you who picks that information. It is you who uses it for or against the society. And the society takes the liberty in branding you for it. I could talk for an hour about how society is controlling us all. But that's a totally different subject. For now we are being controlled by some other entity other than ourselves, that is all we need to know.

Now how do we get to control it ?

I helped you understanding your mind. Now the rational part is up to you. This doesn't mean killing your neighbor over petty issues! Being rational is something which involves only your mind for your actions and no one else ! This means you do something you shouldn't blow the earth up for it ! You do something you live or you die! This idea may be reflected in your society after all its my opinion. The following statement might be a little hard to digest but get over it after you read that!

THIS IS THE TOUGHEST PART! YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT BY READING THIS! YOU HAVE TO WORK IT OUT BY YOURSELF!

P.S. This is the point I tried telling u in the beginning. I'm pretty sure I'm a fool because with all this information I myself couldn't control my complex abstract part of my brain. I had u controlled, i made u read the entire post just with a deceitful topic! And that is the SOCIETY!  

PERSPECTIVE

I have a friend who is going to Denmark for his P.G. We were talking about Facebook and girls and we happened to end at "SEX". His idea of sex is " it is something anyone can have anytime anywhere". I think hes wrong there! SEX started a long long way back. And it has a purpose, more like it "had". Nowadays sex has become a common event like eating a burger, a walk in the park. My idea of sex is "U may have it with the person u love the most, doesn't matter when u have it , all that matters is with whom u have it"

Now many may agree with my friend because they might have their own ideas towards sex. Many readers may side with me. But in the end hes not wrong I'm not wrong, we have TWO different opinions towards a topic. And that's Perspective.

Everyone has a perspective and everyone lives by it . The rights and wrongs,the way we live,the way we pick friends,the way we walk,the way we talk,the way we react to situations,the way we eat... every single thing is the outcome of your perspective.

Do you think you are right and your friend or enemy is wrong about a certain thing ? According to you and your friends or followers you are right and according to the person against you he is right. So perspective is something which stays right between you and the person against your ideas.

Perspective differs from person to person. And that makes every single human in this world unique. But perspective is not something everyone should rely upon. According to me the right perspective takes u a step forward and the wrong perspective pulls u a step behind from reaching your perfect state.

So you may have this doubt "What is a wrong perspective and a good perspective?". Perspective which does not contain prejudice and selfish concepts is something good and good perspective is something which would benefit you and the people around you.

For example Nightingale's perspective towards helping wounded men was good.Hitler's perspective towards the Jews were not good. That gave Nightingale a good name in the society and Hitler who was like Napoleon The Great but was never respected or loved like Napoleon. That's the outcome of the perspective and the perspective of the people about him.

Perspective has built this society into a place where everything seems to be complex and irrelevant. When you need to change yourself when u need to be a better person in the society change your perspective. This will give you a new objective in life a new idea of life and makes you life better. Your perspective decides who you are ! Remember your perspective may change the world around you.

I'm talking about perspective because many do not know why they lag behind the society and why they couldn't shine like the other person. They simply do not get the point of their defeat in the society ! 

"IMPROVISE ADAPT OVERCOME"

MEANING: PERSPECTIVE - A mental view or outlook

New Life in Progress

This is my first Blog. So I'm just going to give a good intro about how i entered this GREAT and INFORMATIVE world of blogging.

 To be true I've heard people talk about blogs and stuffs. But I never even used to let my brain think about blogging.

One day i came across a post which caught my eyes in Flip Board (An android application for people who have no idea what is Flip Board). It was about Mahatma Gandhi. I usually don't come across posts about Gandhi very often so i peeked into it. The title was "Five things I've learnt from Gandhi "(I'm not sure of the title).

So i just scanned through the lines. I did not find it pretty much interesting. But then a sudden feeling of shame. My mind criticized me for some foreigner has learnt something from the Father of my Nation. And i basically did not know anything uncommon about Gandhi. That made me feel bad and made me check out the author.

I checked who was the author of that post. It was James Altucher. Most of you people if you are even reading this you would surely know who James is !! If you do not know who he is pls GOOGLE ! I saw his picture it was some guy with four eyes. He was an author. So my mind told me he would surely have a blog i googled James Altucher's blog. I ended up here http://www.jamesaltucher.com/

He has the best blog. I basically love reading books. So reading through his blogs became my bed time tales.  I felt better after reading his blogs. I used to worry when people used to judge me even without hanging out with me. He showed me a better way to live my life. A LIFE WITHOUT WORRIES !!

Then i wanted to share my perspective. I have been craving for a long time ever since i was a teen to show my ideas and share my perspective over life. And this is the best way to do it !

P.S:
James I owe u one :) U are the best ! No offence but Penelope Trunks did not have a blog like u did ;)
