Ave, Ayenowitall,
For many years I have worked with Eastern pratices and principles. Much of them are nothing; but a small handfull have taught this person to think. I do not pretend to believe in their deities nor will devote time to their religious fraternities. The essence of state of mind awareness not induced by mushrooms, tree fungus (mistletoe) or rotal rites are to me, a local thing brought on by the times and circumstance of a particular region at a particular time and caused by unfairness and brutality of a governing body. Where my interest revolves is the core of a truth that is so fantastic as to be unreal hence, there are real believers and there are mockers. Both sides of the coin are right in what is thought concerning what a mind can or cannot do. For instance the power of suggestion...quackery? How about...hypnosis? Far seeing? Were these once not acceptable to a proper mind set of "well educated people?" And why are they using some forms of mind manipulation in their professional services to mankind if...it's a lot of bunk? So, who's to say what is or is not? I have heard of chicken wings and buffalo wings and aircraft wings so flying porkchops may be true too! Just because you couldn't stick your finger into a persons wound...does that mean the hole isn't there? Any doubter can have an opinion but to mock the obviously unseeable dvent, is childs play. My thought on this subject of a mind doing or using somewhat unknown or little understood powers, if you will, would and does depend on that entity and it's personal mental strength---use it or lose it is an apt way of describing an ability. I don't have to prove myself to anyone but naysayers must prove without a doubt in some way that something is or it isn't! I install deposits two to three times per week into one of my bank accounts---did I win this money or get paid from the company I work for?
Yes, the subconscious (mind) is quite a capable dynamo if that is, you pratice and exercise what you were given.
