This means keep viewing the same movie in their minds, and consequently go on creating and living the same kind of life. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">You can change the thoughts and images in your mind, which is equivalent to inserting a new cassette into the VCR of the mind. As thoughts create events and circumstances, by changing the habitual thoughts, life's events and circumstances change too. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">Most people don't know or don't believe that it is possible to change their way of thinking. The reality of this possibility has never occurred to them. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">There are people who have the knowledge and make the effort. If they persist in their efforts to become more conscious of their thinking process, and attempt to control and filter the contents of their minds, they realize in a practical and direct way that their thoughts are creative and possess power. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">Silencing the mind is a higher stage that very few know about, and fewer take practical steps to achieve. If and when one reaches this goal <strong>he realizes that he is not his mind or his thoughts, but something beyond.</strong> He realizes and experiences in a very clear and direct manner the reality of his True Essence, and the illusion of what is called "reality". </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">The ability of <strong>silencing the mind</strong> is the key to the switch of the mind, enabling us to turn it on and off as we wish. When we are able to switch it off at will, we experience serenity of mind, strength, confidence and happiness. When the mind and its thoughts are quiet, we are able to use the mind in a most effective way. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">Silencing the thoughts and the incessant, tiring, consuming chatter of the mind makes us enjoy a peaceful and joyous consciousness. At this stage we become the boss of the mind. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px">Conquering the mind</span></strong> </span></p><p><span style="color: #000080">A strong<strong> power of concentration makes it easier to free the mind from thoughts.</strong> When there are no thoughts to distract, one becomes fully aware and conscious of the true eternal inner being. This is the goal of spiritual seekers, yogis and saints. This is the secret goal beyond every tradition and religion. This secret is yours to live and enjoy, if you strive towards it. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">The mind is responsible for everything that happens. It is the creator of everything in the world. The world is dependent on the mind for its existence. When in deep sleep with no dreams, are you conscious of the world? Is someone in a swoon, conscious of the world? No, consciousness of the world happens only when the mind is active. In deep meditation, when the mind is quiet the world seems to disappear. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080"><strong>When the mind is conquered, the world is conquered</strong>; when you are able to silence the mind you are in some respects independent of the world. It loses its power over you. Then it cannot influence the way you feel, your moods, and your behavior. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">When you can silence the mind, at least for a while, you realize that you are not the mind. It is a sort of energy that occupies your attention incessantly. For someone who encounters this approach for the first time, it may sound weird and silly. Someone who has practiced meditation for some time, or is conversant with the Eastern philosophies will understand and accept these words. From this inner silence you can look at the mind, understand what it is and come to know its nature and how and why it works. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">While working towards this inner state, the mind usually suggests all kinds of reasons and excuses why it is better not to bring it under control. It wants to be free and roam wherever it likes. It believes that if it is silenced, life will cease to be. It cannot accept that life can go on without its incessant chatter and inner dialogues. It is false logic, as the mind cannot know what is beyond it. The moment it is silenced it does not participate in what happens after this silence. Then how can it experience a state in which it is absent? It cannot think about a state it has never experienced. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080">There is no vacuum in nature. When the mind is made quiet, something "new" steps in. It is the Universal Consciousness, Spirit, the creative power, your "inner I", you can call it whatever you want. It is a power that has always existed, it is in us, it is us. It is our true Consciousness, which we have forgotten. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #000080"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px">The Power of your Thoughts</span></strong> </span></p><p><span style="color: #000080">If you keep thinking about difficulties, fears and failure your life will mirror these thoughts.
