Chapter 30 - The Greatest Computer on Earth

―The Human Mind—

Expanding The Boundaries Of Self Beyond The Limit Of Traditional Thought

Discovering The Magic Within.

Man is endowed with limitless, latent abilities, which will manifest themselves at the appropriate moment. Every devotee has these unseen and unknown abilities. Man contains within himself all the powers and all the substances that exist anywhere in the cosmos. All objects in the world, including gold and diamonds, derive their value from man. Man is more valuable than all the things in the world. —SSSB

It has become a cliché to say a mind is a terrible thing to waste, but it is true, nonetheless. It is the medium we all use to relate to this three-dimensional world. The mind allows us to perceive a world full of fascination, knowledge, spirituality, beauty, joy, happiness, challenges, obstacles and lessons … or a mundane, empty, clueless, sad, boring life of drudgery, filled with problems of all sorts.
The thing that influences the way we perceive the world is the mind. The mind is a tool we use to create a healthy body, life and spirit or to create a lame, lifeless, mass of protoplasm that meanders through time like a machine of repetition. Every word, action or thought originates from spirit—consciousness—and passes to the mind as thought.
The mind is a reflector. It mirrors the images we harbor in our subconscious. The subconscious in this respect is referred to as the heart. If we hold negative thoughts in our heart, we think and produce negative results. Conversely, if we harbor positive thoughts, we think and produce positive results.
As we discover all the aspects and dimensions of the mind, we begin to understand that the mind is the most fascinating computer on earth.
A man must elevate himself by his own mind, not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. —Bhagavad Gita
We are so accustomed to doing things repetitiously—without realizing it—that our actions become a habit to the point at which we scarcely know what we are doing. It was Aristotle who said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”
The philosopher Spinoza said, “Thought constitutes the greatness of mankind.” I am sometimes bewildered at the thought that some people never ever take the time to exercise their mind beyond the mundane and practical things they do daily. Although the mind is the greatest computer in the world, it is like a muscle; if not constantly exercised, it will shrink and wither away.
Beyond the mind lies that state of being we refer to as consciousness. Consciousness is common to all beings; it is, in fact, being or being-ness. This concept can be personalized by saying it in another way: “I am that I am.”
Mind is that very faculty you are now using to subconsciously or intuitively analyze these sentences as you read. Your mind is focused on what you are reading, but your subconscious is taken up with contemplating the truth of what you read in the foregoing paragraphs, as they relate to this one.
It is by the five attributes of Feeling, Form, Quantity, Color and Energy that the mind pulsates, activates and energizes the universe. Since the universe is suffused with the mind, these five attributes too suffuse the universe. The power and might of the mind is immense. We can understand the workings of the universe by understanding the power and potency of the mind. By tasting one drop of water from the ocean, we can experience the very taste of the entire water of the ocean. The drop is the ocean and ocean is the drop. The mind is the world and world is the mind. —SSSB
Having now set the stage, I must share with you a fascinating experience that takes place when we communicate with people....
