The French mathematician and scientist, René Descartes said:

"I think, therefore I am"

Is the mind real? Are you your mind?

How does the mind work?
Scientists have studied and mapped out the mind for centuries to find out how it works and the complex effects it has on us. The mind is thinking, it is logic and it has enormous capacity to store information and memory.

• It has a great associating capacity and where there are many details it can piece     them together and make sense of them.

• It is creative, it can come up with new ideas and thinking them through.

• What the mind believes it can create with pure will power.

• It is creative, it can come up with new ideas and thinking them through.

• It can protect you from remembering through enormous denial mechanisms, block out all negative believes about a situation, making it an illusion, fantasy or horror situation.

• The mind can set itself in control, stopping you from feeling physical, emotional and spiritual pain.

• In a dangerous situation it fill you with adrenaline and the mind becomes totally clear to think out a rescue.

When the mind finds peace and is still, your whole body responds with an ease and relaxation. The mind is a wonderful tool and with great capacity when it is in balance.

We really do need it on a daily basis, being out of your mind isn't really possible. It would not leave that easy. In observing your mind you can gain an infinity of knowledge about yourself.

The mind only creates a problem when it is out of balance by overload and stress.

Who gives the orders?

If the mind is the executer of ideas and beliefs, who gave the initial order? Listen to your heart and you will know.

The orders comes from your heart and your mind is ready to carry out whatever the heart desire, in the best possible way.

The voice of the heart is not easy to hear, if you don't listen carefully. It comes like a whisper or a hunch and if you are to busy and occupied the voice will not be heard. If the mind can't hear or understand the voice of the heart, no action will be taken.

How loud must the heart speak?

If your mind can't hear a whisper, the voice will soon get stronger and louder.

Due to our believes and social background, our mind might still block the information. This can go on until it is too late or almost too late.

The importance of having peaceful times with yourself can not be stressed enough. With the time to listen to your heart's desire you will take the right decisions in your life and your beautiful mind will be delighted to carry out the orders.

Whatever success you are after in life it will always start from your heart.
