The Mind

Yesterday I saw a bulletin entitled "good words". When I open it, it is really filled of good words. It says (not exactly the same, I forgot the exact words):

Watch your mind before it becomes your words
Watch your words before it becomes your action
Watch your action before it becomes your personality
Watch your personality before it becomes your destiny

As you can read from above, the main cause of all the problems there is the mind.
The mind? Is it ridiculous?
No, definitely not ridiculous. At least, not for me.

Do you know the game "command & conquer: red alert 2"? Well if you play the game, you will hear one of your units there (in the game, the unit is called the "mastermind") say "A mind is a terrible thing to waste!"

Well I started to realize that "the mind" thing is not as simple as we thought. Yeah it can even be your destiny.

One example, I have heard many of these cases where sick people that are sentenced that they will die soon because of their illness or that their illness can't be cured anymore and they have no hope of being cured. Well, some of them "miraculously" cured and still alive longer than they were sentenced. Why? Because these people accept their illness and they try to think that they will get well soon, that they can live longer. So, they are cured just like that. Even the doctors are surprised to see them still alive.

For me, that is a good example of how the mind can make many differences. It is mind over matter. If you think you will get well soon, then you will. If you think that you have no more hope and just dying, then you will get weaker and weaker and die. Wheter you live or that at that moment, it's the destiny you've thought before, right?

I am a scientific person, so I'm trying to find "what causes this thing to happen?". Well I'm only a 1st year student, so I don't know if this is true or not, it's just a lousy hypothesis.

When you think or feel of something, your brain will emit some kind of wave with certain length and amplitude. When it wave is received by another 'thing' (can be human, animals, plants, etc), the receiver will feel the way your feel and react. That's why some people can hynotize other people.

For example, if you are happy, then some kind of wave will be emitted by your brain, when someone near you receive it, he/she will become happy too or at least knows that you are happy at that time.

Why do our brains can produce waves? Well that's another case that I don't want to explain here although I have a hypothesis about that too.

Anyway, that's how it works (I think). So, when you think and sure that you will be cured of cancer (for example), you will emit the wave, and the cancer cells will receive it and it will react. We call this "sugesti" in Indonesian. Well sounds ridiculous to you eh? Not for me, I like to think much about it anyway.

Still I believe that mind controls everything you do and you can control your mind.

Well that's a brief unimportant speech from me...
