The Power of the Human Mind

by Christian Flint

I write and talk a lot on Mind Power and how powerful a singular mind truly is.  In most all cases, I am prone to giving examples of man's invention of flying.  I give examples of how we invented the capacity of human flight, and less than 75 years later, we sent men to the moon.  The power of the human mind is truly impressive.  

My primary job also, is to help people make positive changes in there life, as well as to motivate and give hope, focus and empowerment.  Not only is everyone worthy of hope, empowerment and self-esteem, we are worthy of understanding how we can affect the world around us.  Of course, I seem to take for granted that most everyone wants to use their personal empowerment in a very positive way.  

Recently, I watched a series on cable TV that gave me additional insight on the human mind.  Regrettably, this show was an historical account of some of the "greatest" and most memorable minds in history.  Most every time we hear their names, we cringe as sadness, terror and even rage fills our minds.

Without naming names, I believe the most important information I took away from observing this series, was how a human mind can also be utilized to create destruction.  It can be used to control people in masses.  It can be used to manipulate other empowered people to participate in mass destruction and population control.

As I watched the footage and depictions of the historical accounts, it dawned on me as to ask WHY people choose to empower themselves for complete control, power, wealth and greed over others.  Human suffering in our world today is actually more caused by oppression and war by other humans, than is caused by nature / "acts of God" and other atrocities like disease.  Human beings are responsible for more killing, oppression, societal degradation and human enslavement than any other entity on our planet.

It also occurred to me that if we would have chosen to focus ALL of our mind power and abilities on the betterment of society and well-being of human kind, I truly wonder how much further along we could be.  I think of all of the Mind Power wasted that has gone into personal empowerment for all of the wrong reasons.  These reasons are direct and indirect, but most humans agree, now and even from history, these acts were debilitating acts on humans, religious beliefs / values, cultures and societies who never asked to be disturbed, controlled or oppressed.

For me, my mind has always looked for ways to better myself and the world around me.  I find that enough of a challenge.  I have never felt the need to kill or even oppress others to obtain and maintain my stability in life.  Human suffering is far too tragic to ignore.  To think that mankind is its own worst enemy, is even worse.

I implore anyone that makes use of their incredible mental gifts and empowerment, to focus their abilities and personal growth on the good things in life.  We are responsible for ourselves first, and others second.  But, also our responsibilities to humankind still remain. 

I believe every human is capable of greatness.  I specifically enjoy helping those that want to make this world a better place.  But YOU have a choice.  You can empower yourself for the betterment of yourself and possibly mankind.  Or, you can empower yourself for selfish control and the degradation of humankind.  Obviously, we now make incredibly good historical records of it. 

I have certainly always pondered the "Yin / Yang" balance of humanity.  "For every Terrible Evil, there is a Wonderful Good."  I just wonder when we will realize that we have a "choice" in the matter.  That WE create this supposed "balance" that seems to be as much bad, as good.  We do, however, have control on these manifestations.

Without further philosophical indulgence, I remind everyone to take a strong look at the space around them and recognize EVERY thing that man has created or affected.  Realize the time, effort, fortitude and even the imagination it took to create that.  For better or worse, humans have massively impacted this planet and made an everlasting mark.  Our "footprint" on this tiny planet we live on will be recognized universally, evermore as time goes forward.

Put simply, the Human-Mind created all of this.  

How will you use your mind?

How will you empower yourself?

How will you leave your mark on the world around you?

You have the EXACT same ability, time and potential as anyone that has ever come before you that created the world you live in now.  Make use of it all.  Develop and create.  Imagine and grow.  This is one of your many talents and gifts.
