Hello ALL

 

Namaste.

 

*The Amazing Potentials of Human Mind*

Parapsychology does not regard the supernatural powers of human mind as

miracles. Rather, it affirms such potentials as natural outcomes of the

stimulation of otherwise dormant centers in the brain.

 

Extrovert attitude appears to be a normal tendency of an agile mind. As we

all might have experienced, the inquisitiveness and interest of our mind

mostly revolve around the external world. If we could divert our mind inward

to some extent and think a little deep about our inner self, we would find

immense troves of power and unalloyed happiness within us. The hidden

potentials of our mind are more startling than the wonders of Nature and the

marvelous achievements of human talents and the intellectual and physical

powers found in the world outside.

 

The world around us has its own importance in our life. It offers us

opportunities of progress and prosperity in a number of ways. But that does

not mean that we are ‘nothing’ without it. The progress of the external

world and our ascent in the extrovert dimensions are only like ornaments

that help outwardly adorn our life. Indeed, the nectar of ultimate

evolution, enlightenment, peace and beatitude lies in the depths of our

inner self. However, it requires persistent single pointed effort to

cultivate a self-contemplative nature and realize the miraculous dimensions

of our inner selves.

 

As practiced, experienced and taught by the sages of yore and the

enlightened ones of the later ages, gradual training (with firm

determination and will) of self-restraint and self-observation help in

controlling and transforming the extrovert tendencies of the mind. Swadhyaya

and Satsang1 are found to be most effective methods of disciplining and

refinement of the mental tendencies.

 

School education and training for higher learning and development of talents

is no doubt necessary in civilized growth of human society. Its contribution

towards the evolution of consciousness is however minimal –– like that of

the leaves in circulating carbon dioxide in the plants. Nurturing the roots

of the mind is essential for spiritual growth. Activation of the hidden

centers of subliminal power of praña (life energy) is essential in this

endeavor. The yoga-sadhanas devised by the Indian rishis enable gradual

awakening and activation of the extrasensory centers in the brain and in

rest of the body.

 

In the modern age, dedicated investigations in the fields of neurology,

psychology, parapsychology, and metaphysics have brought forth a partial

understanding of the neuro-physiological, biochemical, and hormonal

functions associated with manifestation of some hidden faculties of the

human mind.
