How do you think? I’ve heard people say that until you have a word to describe something, you can’t think about it. They are saying we think with words. What do you think?
When you think, you think in pictures. Check it out. I suggest that you think of the home you live in, and as you do realise that an image of your home comes on to the screen of your mind. It is almost as if there is a screen running right through the center of your head, and the moment you think of your home, the picture of your home comes on to the screen of your mind.
Now I suggest you think of your automobile, and the moment you do the picture of the home is gone, and the picture of the car is there. Think of your kitchen, your yard, think of where you work or go to school, and click, click, click the picture changes. We think in pictures.
Also we can only think of one picture at a time. When a new picture comes onto the screen, the old picture disappears.
Think of your mind
Now think of your mind. When most people think of the mind they get an image of the brain. Did you think of the brain?
The brain is not the mind, anymore than the thumb is. But paradoxically both the thumb and the brain are the mind.
Mind is an activity, and body is the manifestation of that activity. You will find out as you study these pages that the body is actually an instrument of the mind – nothing more.
Your brain is made up of hundred’s of thousands of cells. We put pictures or images into these cells. As we think we activate that particular group of brain cells , and the picture that is in them flashes onto the screen of the mind.
