When we face difficulties in our destiny, we can use a toolkit of powers and abilities to transform events and circumstances. Regardless of external conditions, we can release forces within us that gradually cause darkness and darkness to disappear.
One essential means by which we can harness our inner strengths for maximum benefit is through concentration, since concentration is the focusing of mental attention on a specific subject. It can be compared to the power of a magnifying glass to focus on the sun's rays. Just as a magnifying glass can poke a hole in wood or ignite a flame, the focused mind can penetrate the solution to a problem or spark new ideas and perspectives.
Concentration is essential to all creative mental work. Thought control makes possible the elevated state of connection with divine consciousness.This state of higher consciousness, cosmic consciousness or absorption in nature is only possible when we can focus the mind at will. It is only through mental focus that we can hold the frequencies of a higher level of consciousness.
Concentration is like a laser that amplifies light into a single beam of incredible power. Essentially, a laser is a rod of ruby surrounded by a spiral lamp. When the lamp is turned on, the chromium atoms in the ruby are stimulated. When the stimulation is great enough, a narrow beam of intensely powerful light extends from the ruby crystals.
The spiral lamp that stimulates or excites the chrome atoms in the ruby wand can be compared to our emotions.When we are sufficiently interested in something, our enthusiasm stimulates the molecules in our mind represented by the ruby rod. By focusing on the light of our intentions and dreams through mental focus, we can achieve remarkable results very quickly.
Not only is concentration more easily induced when we are enthusiastic about something, but the act of mental concentration itself will arouse interest and enthusiasm for any study idea. A person who learns to concentrate no longer needs to be bored.
The power of concentration is a magical tool that we can create or destroy depending on the subject of low attention and the nature of our thoughts. Hence the saying of the Buddha "suffering follows a bad thought like the wheels of the cart follow the oxen that pull it and joy follows a good thought like a shadow that never goes away". The words of Buddha are the foundation of all metaphysics.The formative principle which shapes substance is the spirit.
When you focus your mind on a visual scenario, you focus in your field of experience on the very scenes you visualize. For every mental cause follows a physical result; and positive thoughts will produce similar effects. Constructive thoughts build a bridge to a better life. Destructive thoughts harden into chains that enslave us. When we refrain from discordant thoughts, our situation improves.What the mind conceives ends up being received as long as the intention is strong enough.
