Mind Training = Mind Control

We train the mind through meditation so as not to be distracted at every moment, and be able to control our self and our behaviour. If we cannot do this, our mind is being controlled by others. How? Through all forms of communication.

A simple example. If we’re asked, “Where’s the nearest post office?” our mind is taken up with someone’s question or suggestion. It’s simple hypnosis.

When we know our natural state of mind is emptiness, we have something to return to after an exchange, or having been ‘taken up’ by something. If we have no foundation of reality, we remain   ‘taken up’ 🙂

We’re mostly ‘taken up’ with our personal history, our personal groove.

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural pathways throughout life and in response to experiences adopted by consciousness and stored in the mind which mould the brain. While the brain usually does this itself in response to injury or disease, when humans focus their attention enough, they can slowly rewire these pathways themselves = mind training!
