THE MIND

 

 

Man's mind is his spirit.  As fast as the mind can travel so can his spirit.  The mind can travel through objects.  That is, one can think of an object behind a wall or beneath Earth or up in the heavens.  It is not bound by Earth's dimension space, or time.  The mind is a temporary prisoner of the body.  Whatever the body does, it refines the spirit.

 

The mind is not bound by time.  When a person suffers a fatal accident, the spirit separates from the body.  The body rots.  The spirit lives on.  So the mind or consciousness stays without a physical body.

 

The mind is capable of commanding the body to perform good deeds beneficial to his fellow men.  In like manner, the body will carry out evil thoughts and plans hatched in one's mind.  So that one can say the body is just an accessory, the mind is the principal.  Thus, the mind or spirit gets credit or debit even before the actual implementation of the thoughts.  The thought is the seed of action of man.  You therefore must rid yourselves of evil thoughts inhabiting your minds.

 

The mind is a creator.  The brute animals cannot conceptualize ideas or create just like a man does.  Out of seemingly disparate ideas, man can fuse them to make sense.  Out of words and phrases, man can form a story, poem, or novel.  Out of elements, metals, and other compounds, man can fashion a computer that functions better than man in some aspects.  For one thing, a computer has a better memory than man.  It can compute faster, file and retrieve data more accurately at a split second, and perform tasks obediently down to the letter.  It is very accurate and fast.  But unlike man, it does not have free will.  The computer cannot disobey its creator.  It cannot decide on its own.  Man can create, the computer cannot.  Man can reproduce, the computer cannot beget another computer.

 

Man's power of creation cannot be transmitted to his creatures.  He made an airplane, the airplane cannot produce a submarine.  The airplane cannot reproduce itself.  Although God made man to his image and likeness, the attributes imparted to man's spirit by God has limitations.  A reflection is not 100% as clear as the original.

 

Man's way of creation is slow.   But little by little, it is expanding to the widest range possible: from computers to science gadgets to artificial insemination and eventually to genetics.  He will discover the program of the genetic cell and will succeed in reprogramming it so as to reproduce new animal species.

 

Man uses his hand to create.  God simply uses His breath. He breathes in and out imparting existence to spiritual entities or to material objects.  Material objects are slower in vibrations whereas spiritual entities vibrate much faster.  It is in the threshold of highest energy levels, like an object being converted to energy through Einstein's formula E=MC2.  The body can vibrate faster to merge or be in complete harmony with his mind so as to become spiritual.  When this happens, the human body can penetrate walls, defy gravity by rising up, instant-travel from one place to another, or even command the cells to recover its youth.  The body has been spiritualized --- it has been converted to energy through the complete domination by its spirit.

 

Man created the computer, but the computer cannot produce itself.  God breathes unto man's body His spirit, but man cannot produce another spirit.  Unless man discovers the mantra used by God in His creation, he cannot produce a spirit like himself.  At birth, it is man that provides the body, God provides the spirit.

 

Man's mind is unique.  Through his mind, he can create and put into existence new ideas.  Through his body, he can create a corresponding material entity.  Thus every created material object has a counterpart spiritual entity.   For every material object, there corresponds a spiritual entity --- that is, its concept. The correspondence between material and spiritual objects is on a one-to-one basis but not vice versa.  When you offer material objects to the spirits, the spirits take the spiritual component of the objects.  When you ask for material benefits from the spirit, they in return provide you with the spiritual component of the objects asked for.  It is up to man to provide for its material existence.  That's why you hear the saying, "Nasa Dios ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa."  "God helps those who help themselves."

 

Some people daydream, build air castles.  They are manifesting their ability to create in the realm of the spiritual.  But their existence is not permanent.  They die with them.  The crazy person goes into a creation spree, creating objects and ideas whose existence the ordinary normal person cannot fathom.  That's why the crazy may not be moving, but his mind is enjoying its ability to create and create.  You call this fantasy.  Fantasy because the poor fellow does not have the ability to formulate or create the corresponding material entity.   Icarus thought of flying.  He made wings and plunged down to death.   It was the Wright brothers who made flying a reality for man.  Thus, the idea or spiritual side precedes the material side of the object.

 

Not all spiritual entities have corresponding material components.  Knowledge is purely spiritual. Take them.  Feast on them.  Steal them.  And yet they are still there.  Undiminished.

 

When you offer food to the spirits and they come and partake of the food, the spirits are satiated but the spiritual component of the food remains undiminished so that even millions of spirits can feast on food spread out on a small table.

 

When Jesus was preaching, the Apostles called his attention to the fact that there was not enough food to feed the multitudes who listened and they were getting hungry.  From the several loaves of bread and pieces of fishes, Jesus obtained the spiritual master from which he materialized thousands of material duplicates with which to feed the multitudes.
