Tweekly;Mind over matter

June 14, 2013 Post Comment

Mind over matter. So what is really mind over matter? The term does not relate to the belief that the mind is more powerful than the body. Specifically, mind over matter refers to controlling pain that one may or may not be experiencing, such as holding one's hand under extremely hot water and feeling no pain.

So recently, my sister told me a story (I’m not sure whether it’s true) but in the past, there is this woman who walked to the hospital to give birth. And she saw with her bare eyes that a lady who died after giving birth outside the hospital, due to the lack of bed space. And so she went home immediately and decided not to give birth. And 20 years down the road, she realize her womb is constantly in pain and she went for a check-up, the doctor thought it was a tumor but actually it’s a death foetus. And this make me think really hard about it and it is a mind over matter story.

The realm of consciousness is much vaster than thought can grasp. When you no longer believe everything you think, you step out of thought and see clearly that the thinker is not who are you.-Eckhart Tolle

Sometimes when we keep moan and moan that we can’t memorize for exam, we can’t do that hard task or even when people who are afraid of dark and we said we can’t overcome. Guilty for most of the stuffs mentioned above? I’m guilty of all of them. And yes, I’m those kind of people who has lack of millions self-motivation and contain millions of laziness in me.

I can keep complaining that I have millions of stuff have to memorize, especially I’m now in Human Resource module and the first word come to HR is regret. See, I always will say I regret, I can’t memorize which I think it is just in my mind, causing my brain don’t want to even make the effort to memorize.

Usually, you realize when you have interest in the topic or things you do, you will excel in it. Is it really talent or because of your consciousness? Because in that topic or when you doing the stuff, you have interests, your brain decided to absorb more information than you usually thought you can.

For generations and generations, we have been overlooking and underestimating the consciousness that each and every one of us possess.

We always though you can do only this much, but actually if you stretch it. You can do so much more. We usually underestimate what we really can do, until we have no choice but to be strong or to complete the task. And then we realize, actually we can. Actually in most case when we thought we cannot do it, and we didn’t made it, simply because we didn’t believing in ourselves. Believing in yourself would make things happening, because you have the mindset of completing it and usually you could. (So from now, I’m going to psycho myself that I can memorize my HR modules)

Somehow it’s like eating medicine, and keeps saying it’s useless and you will realize that it is useless simply because your mind is rejecting that body signal and accepting what your mind thinks.

Everything starts from imagination, your thoughts, it is all inside your brain. You are building up something from nothing. If you are able to pick up those imagination and make it into reality, it will eventually burst out. And you will realize that all of them are created from the human mind.

I realize that this is really true, where all the people like Dmitri Mendeleev who dream of arranging atoms from the period table into column and rows where there is group I to 0. All these are from his mind, and when I heard that from my chemistry teacher, I’m like “who will even be so crazy to dream of that?!” hahahas. But at least, he makes memorize so much easier and clear.

So everything is in your mind, mind over matter.
