A Paradoxical Puzzle. This incredibly strenuous introspective and reflective exercise requires a Braintenance Strain that will, if you'll allow it, elevate you to a new level of reasoning and a higher state of awareness and consciousness . We'll call it "The Paradox Of The Self Upon Reflection." It is a never-ending exercise which causes the essence of you as an unidentified, unattached, disembodied, ego-absent observer, to continually evolve. It is ultimately transcendental. It builds a newer power of...

You are of two conscious minds, metaphorically . One mind is the conscious performer, busily engaged in thinking and acting; the other (far less cultivated and not as well understood) is the detached mind. This is the mind that can stand outside of you and observe both your conscious thoughts and behavior. It is your MIND OVER MIND, or simply, the Overmind [a convenient Lingovation ]. If you can develop this overmind, you can control any aspect of your conscious mind 's thought programs and actions. You can control your thoughts and decide what you'd prefer to be thinking about and doing. This requires an exercising of the Overmind. The best way to do this is by simply being mindful in the moment of what you are doing. Do not just think and act -- use your underexercised and underdeveloped Overmind to observe, as if an outside examiner, every sensation and action and thought of each moment. This deliberate mindfulness can be cultivated to the extent that the Overmind can eve...

Perception IS Reality - as we experience it. The video which follows (which involves some forces applied to a simple, commonplace mixture of cornstarch and water) may alter your perception of physical reality as you've been conditioned to understand/expect it. I find it useful for several reasons: 1 ) It opens the mind to accept that it has been brainwashed or conditioned; 2 ) It creates and increased hunger for learning; 3 ) It forces us to question many of our own accepted truths, and has the added psychic/psychological bonus of making us detach from ourselves and our ordinary robotic thinking to instead stand outside of ourselves and view ourselves from a more objective, analytic perspective. You'll enjoy this video tremendously. Just click on the link for instant transport. PERCEPTION VERSUS REALITY - ALTERING AND OPENING THE MIND [Douglas E. Castle] See you very soon.

Is there a God ? And if there is, why is He making me ask this question? There are some wonderful logical and paradoxical questions and sayings that have emerged through Humankind ’s quest for a definitive answer to the troublesome problem of proof about the existence of God. Each of them gives one some pause for thought, and all of them are mind strengtheners. Here they come: 1. “My belief in God is based on faith . With absolute faith, a person can know, with complete certainty, that which cannot be proven. Faith is a God-given blessing.” 2. “If God created the universe, and if every effect is preceded by some cause, who or what created God?” 3. In one of my most doubtful moments, following a great tragedy in my life, I told my college roommate that I had lost my belief in God. My roommate replied, putting his hand gently on my shoulder, “Just because you don’t believe in God doesn’t mean that he doesn’t believe in you, and care about you and love you.” I remember these words being a...

Image via Wikipedia  - Rene Descartes : philosopher, mathematician, theoretical physicist, and a fellow with an unkempt but nonetheless fascinating hairstyle. Most individuals don't actually understand the distinction between teaching (a third-person exercise) and learning (a first-person exercise).  When a wise philosopher [ most philosophers are assumed to be wise -- this is principally out of respect, I believe, for any person with the wondrous ability to a ) survive without actually having to either earn a living by some sort of work, or b ) with the good fortune to be leisurely whittling away at a substantial familial inheritance while pontificating about whatever happens to be on his or her mind ] said to one of his disciples ( every successful philosopher worth his weight in either hemlock or horse manure must have disciples ): " I will teach you nothing. And you will learn much from me," he was not even stating a clever paradox. There actually is no puzzle o...
