Your mind is so powerful that it can kill you. Your mind is so powerful that it can affect your reality.
Let me tell you a quick story that I learned about in a book called The Law of Success in 16 Lessons.
In that book, I heard of an experiment where a man was sentenced to death by the guillotine.
And this was back, way back then, when there were still guillotines around.
So this man was sentenced to death and there were people that were actually wanted to run an experiment on him.
So he got placed on the block, got blindfolded, everything's as usual.
And so he is about to get his head chopped off by the guillotine.
And the experiment is to actually trick his mind into believing that he got killed, but not actually kill him.
So what they did was they took out the blade of the guillotine and they just put a block.
So he was under the guillotine and then they released it and then he got hit in the back of the head by a block.
And then they poured warm water on the back of his neck to simulate blood.
And then they had water dripping down to simulate blood dripping.
So this whole sensation, this man is experiencing what he believes to be his death.
And his mind actually believes it.
His mind actually kills the man. The man dies from all of this.
Even though no physical harm was done to him, all that happened was a block fell on his neck and then warm water was poured down his neck.
That's all. He should have been alive, but his mind believed it so much that he actually died.
Like his mind killed his body. So that's one story of how the mind can actually kill the body.
Now let me tell you another story of how there was a researchers, they experimented with...
They had a man and he was blindfolded and they were told that they're going to cut him.
And so he is blindfolded and they take an ice cube and just rub it on his wrist.
That's it. They just like slice an ice cube across his wrist. So no actual harm was done.
And then after that, they pour warm water on the wrist and then pour warm water on the ground to simulate dripping, a dripping noise.
So all of this simulated a knife cutting his wrist and blood flowing down.
And this person was blindfolded so they didn't actually know whether it was true or not.
And they felt pain. Their mind created pain.
And after the fact they were... they took off the wristband and they saw that there was nothing there.
But the fact of the matter is their mind created pain because that's what it believed.
And so this all shows the value of your mind. And this... there's an underlying principle at play here.
And it's called suggestion. It's called suggestion.
And this is when you take in information from the outside and take it into your mind.
This happens every day, even in the most simplest of scenarios.
Right now I am suggesting to you this information.
And whether you take it in or not is your choice, but more than likely you are taking it in.
School does this. They suggest to you certain information, certain procedures, rules,
and certain outcomes, all kinds of worldviews, all this stuff.
This... another way that this can harm you is let's say you're on your way to work.
And every single person you see calls... every single person you see says, oh, you look ill.
You should go see a doctor. And then the next person, oh, you look ill. You should go see a doctor.
Over time this will get to you and then by the end of the day you will truly feel ill.
And you will be able to take in information from the outside.
And then you will see that you are taking in information from the outside.
And you will feel ill.
And you will be able to take in information from the outside.
And you will feel ill.
So take this one more step further. Once you have the facts, you can say, is this relevant to the fulfillment of my purpose?
Or is it not?
And all this stuff that's not relevant, you dismiss. You don't listen to, you don't allow in.
But all this stuff that is relevant, you take in.
So the people that say you look ill, you dismiss. You don't take it in.
Because your mind can actually choose to get sick.
Now to explain this, let me tell you a story.
For the past couple, for the past year, I've been reading a little bit less than a year.
For the past nine months, I've been reading a book on and off called Reality Transurfing.
And in this book I learned about how your thoughts affect your reality, how you can control your reality.
And there's one principle that I realized was your thinking can actually affect the outcomes of things.
So there's an induced transition that happens when you take on the sickness game.
So let's say someone is sick in your house.
You can choose to worry and hope that you don't get sick.
And more than likely you will get sick.
Or you can choose to stay healthy.
You can choose to remind yourself that you are healthy.
You can choose to not allow the fact that someone is sick into your worldview.
You can choose to not allow that to affect you.
Now yes, there are instances where no matter how powerful your mind thinking is, you may still get sick.
But in all of the everyday scenarios, you can avoid being sick.
Napoleon the Great.
There is one event where all of his men were getting the plague or some illness.
I don't know, like the black death or something.
All of his men were getting illness.
And this was during a war.
So Napoleon the Great, this commander of the army.
He realized that all the men didn't, they were just worried about getting sick.
They were allowing the sickness into their worldview.
But Napoleon the Great did not allow it into his worldview.
He didn't even think that he could get sick from them.
He didn't even give it a moment of thought.
So much so that he showed his men, he walked up to two sick individuals.
And started demonstrating that he will not get sick from them because he will not accept it into his thinking.
And so all of his men that were getting sick were getting worried that they were going to get sick.
And so the healthy men became sick men because that's what their thoughts permitted.
Napoleon the Great didn't get sick because he didn't permit that to happen.
And I have a personal anecdote.
I've actually experienced this multiple times where a family member was sick in my house.
And I chose not to even give it a moment of thought.
And I chose to maintain the health, healthy worldview, healthy mindset.
And just recently one of my family members had COVID.
And it was a high stakes moment for me because I had used up.
I'm a high school student right now and I'm graduating early.
And so right now it's December 14th.
And my last day of class is December 21st.
And December 21st is the last day of school for me ever because I'm graduating early and I'm not going to college.
But in my school there's a rule, a policy where if you have 12 absences or more, then you fail that class.
And so if I had 12 absences, then I would end up failing a class and I'd have to redo the entire semester
so I wouldn't be allowed to graduate early.
So this was a high stakes moment.
I had a lot to lose.
But you know what I did? I maintained my health.
I didn't worry about getting sick because I know that worrying one is useless.
Two, it's actually detrimental to me because it is vibrating at that same frequency as getting sick.
So it's allowing it to get into my world, into my life.
So I did not even allow it into my worldview.
Every single time sickness was brought up, I just dismissed it into my mind.
I realized that yes, it's factual, but no, it does not help me achieve my purpose.
And there was actually an instance where I felt the symptoms coming on.
I had kind of a tired, I was feeling tired.
I had a slight sore throat.
I had a slight runny nose and I like this thing on my neck.
There's like a ball that I never noticed, but it kind of like was tender.
I don't know how to describe it, but there was a moment where I had all these symptoms.
This was the onset of the illness.
And you know what I did? I ignored it.
I didn't even give it a moment thought.
And when it came up into my mind, I instantly dismissed it
because I knew that this was not going to serve me.
This was actually me detrimental to me.
And the fact of the matter is that I have already used eight of my sick days.
So if I got sick, then I probably more than likely would either one have to just tough it out
and still go to school or two redo an entire semester of class
when I was planning on graduating early.
I would have to spend 1000 more hours sitting in a classroom, rotting away.
But I understood the power of the mind and I applied the principles that I've learned in the books that I've read.
