THE MIND:THE GREATEST TRAP OF HUMANITY

The mind has countless definitions in various contexts and deposits numerous perspectives for different individuals.

The mind can be non-material substance or set of processes in which consciousness, feeling, thinking and will are based.It can also be an ability:

  • For rational thought
  • To be aware of things
  • To remember things
  • To focus the thoughts


It is a set of cognitive faculties including consciousness, perception, thinking, judgment, language and memory. It is usually defined as the faculty of an entity's thoughts and consciousness.


Without any doubt,it is obvious from the numerous definitions above that the mind is a great concept.It governs all our affairs, behaviours, decisions and so much more.


The mind is very delicate and feeds.The products of its nutrition are represented in our everyday actions, behaviors and dealings with people. In essence, this means the when we feed our mind with unhealthy details or facts,the output will be very harmful to everyone of us and the society at large.

WHEN I SPEAK OF FEEDING THE MIND,WHAT DO I MEAN?

Feeding the mind has to do with our various actions which establish ideas,knowledge and facts and can be mostly done through reading and meditations.


HOW DOES READING FEED THE MIND?

A major criteria which makes a man is the books he read.When one reads and comprehend,the principles derived in such books are registered in the mind's eye and will certainly become a part of such person,the mind will now subconsciously govern the actions,thoughts etc of such person through already set down principles established in the mind through the help of information and facts obtained from books which the person have read.


HOW DOES MEDITATION FEED THE MIND?

Meditation is a devotional exercise of or leading to contemplation. It can be a contemplative discourse often on a religious or philosophical subject.

It is a practice where an individual focuses his or her mind on a particular object, thought or activity to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state.


The definition above somehow limits the achievements of meditation. It accomplishes so much more than a mentally clear or emotionally calm state.It empowers the mind.When one focuses or contemplates on series of ideas or facts,they literally become part of him.He governs himself by the things he has meditated on and acts by them.

SELECT WHAT YOU FEED THE MIND

I have observed that most people who are not financially buoyant have already accepted this state in their mind and feed it with all types of unhealthy perception about success and prosperity. Not only poverty but also in all spheres of our lives,the mind rules.

It is therefore eminent that we delicately select what we feed our mind.The mind is an extremely powerful tool and is quite dominant in the affairs of man.

It holds the key to success,riches, prosperity, freedom etc and also death,poverty,anarchy, chaos etc.It is quite necessary that humanity steers the mind or it will be the doom of us all.
