The Power of the Subconscious Mind: A Bridge Between Philosophy, Science, and Nature

Image
The mind is one of the most powerful and mysterious instruments available to human beings. In both the Western scientific tradition and the ancient Indian philosophical schools, the mind is seen not just as a seat of thoughts, but as a field of energy, emotion, and creative potential. This article explores the power of the subconscious mind —its role in shaping our lives, influencing our habits, and how it can be trained through positivity, creativity, and connection with nature. 1. Conscious, Subconscious, and Unconscious Mind: Western Perspective According to Sigmund Freud and later thinkers in psychology and cognitive science, the mind is divided into three levels: Conscious Mind : This is the active, thinking part of our awareness. It deals with logic, reasoning, and daily decisions. Subconscious Mind : This part stores memories, beliefs, habits, and emotions that influence our conscious actions, often without us realizing it. Unconscious Mind : A deeper realm wher...

Life is so precious

Image
Life is incredibly precious, and each moment is a gift from God. We only need to approach it with the curiosity of a child, unwrapping it with an open heart to discover what lies within. As we embrace our childlike nature, the external knowledge we have accumulated throughout our lives begins to fade away, and we start accepting the existence of God without questioning the teachings we've received thus far. We have been taught that we belong to a specific religion and should not follow the teachings of other religions. Hindus are told not to enter a Muslim mosque or Jain temple, while Muslims are discouraged from praying in Hindu temples or Christian churches. To truly know God, we must let go of this inherited knowledge that has been passed down for thousands of years and adopt the innocent mind of a child. In doing so, we can feel the presence of God in even the tiniest particles created by Him, permeating every corner of the universe. This childlike mindset serves as the first s...

The False Illusion of 'I': Transcending the Observer and Experiencer

Image
The False Illusion of 'I': Transcending the Observer and Experiencer Throughout human history, thinkers, mystics, and philosophers have pondered the nature of selfhood. Who or what is the "I" that observes, thinks, and experiences? Is there truly an observer distinct from the observed, or is this duality a mere illusion? This article delves into these profound questions, examining the nature of the self, the illusion of separation, and the path to transcending this false division. The Illusion of the Observer One of the fundamental misconceptions of human consciousness is the belief in an independent observer. The mind assumes that there is a fixed "I" that perceives reality, separate from thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This belief is deeply ingrained, leading to the assumption that the observer exists as an entity distinct from what is observed. However, if we examine this assumption closely, we see that the observer is not separate—it arises in the v...

Whether it's in developed economies like America or developing countries like India, no nation is immune to the impacts of climate change. As we gaze at the sky, many of us find ourselves praying for mercy.

How Meditation helps us?

Image
Meditation is a practice that has been used for centuries across various cultures and traditions to enhance consciousness and achieve a state of heightened awareness. From a philosophical and psychological perspective, meditation helps to improve consciousness through several mechanisms: 1. Mindfulness and Present-Moment Awareness Focus on the Present : Meditation, especially mindfulness meditation, encourages focusing on the present moment. This practice helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and sensations as they occur, rather than being lost in past or future concerns. Reduction of Distractions : By training the mind to stay focused on the present, meditation reduces the impact of distracting thoughts and external stimuli, leading to a clearer, more concentrated state of consciousness. 2. Neuroplasticity and Brain Function Changes in Brain Structure : Research has shown that regular meditation can lead to changes in brain structure and function. For exampl...

Start Loving Yourself And Control Your Anger

Image
Start Loving Yourself Start loving yourself, as it is undeniably true. You can only spread love and care to the outer world if you first begin by loving yourself. It is impossible to share happiness if you are consumed by grief or sadness within your inner being. This love will blossom when you fully accept yourself as you are. God has already bestowed upon you all the positive vibrations that you need to recognize. Often, we find ourselves complaining about our circumstances and holding the external world responsible for our anger or sorrow. However, this only amplifies our grief, hatred, jealousy, worries, and disappointments. Firstly, we must understand that no one can harm us or make us sad unless we allow them to do so. Our peace resides within us, and we should not permit anyone to disturb our serenity and provoke us into worry and anger with their thoughts and actions. Always remember that if someone attempts to abuse or harm you, they will first harm themselves in the process. ...

Where is GOD?

Image
Western Philosophy: Spinoza's Perspective Western philosopher and idealist Benedict Spinoza posited that everything in the world operates according to immutable laws. To truly understand God, one must comprehend these laws. This perspective is indeed profound. Spinoza believed that God is manifested in Nature, and to grasp the reality of God, one must become closer to Nature and understand the laws governing it. For instance, if you wish to understand God, try comprehending the Law of Gravity. According to Spinoza, God is expressed through such laws, as seen in the phenomenon that whatever is thrown upwards will inevitably come down. The more you understand these laws, the closer you get to God. Buddhism: The Absence of a Creator God In Buddhism, there is no concept of a soul or an omnipotent creator like God. Consciousness arises based on past karmas and mental volitions. A person can escape the cycle of birth and death by attaining Nirvana or enlightenment. Ignorance is the prima...
