Monthly Mind Power Questions & Answers

A Congratulations for using Mind Powers successfully. This will give you wonderful confidence in using it in all areas of your life. Recognize that in life there are many experiences, some joyful, some unpleasant, and that life is always reflecting to us the energy and vibration of who and what we are. If you find that people are getting on your nerves a lot, then look within yourself to find out why this is. Are you being too harsh with people? Maybe you need more compassion. Maybe you need to relax more. There are many possibilities, but use this as an opportunity to look within yourself and see why it is that you are feeling like this. Once again, congratulations on your success. And all the best.

There is no paradox at all. You can be quite assured that the universe knows exactly what it is doing. And while it might seem on the surface that in some circumstances people who cheat or do other dishonest things do indeed prosper, I can assure you that is only on the surface.

We are multidimensional. We live in many dimensions simultaneously — the physical, the spiritual, the emotional, and the mental. And all these faculties, all these worlds and dimensions, influence and affect us in different ways. So while a person who cheats another person might indeed seem to prosper on the material and the physical level, we do not know what has been done to that person’s soul, to his psyche, to his conscience. Nor do we know the karma that has been incurred as a result of that event.

So the universe knows exactly what it's doing, and that’s why people who know and understand this always live their lives with the highest integrity.

In your sleep there is a tremendous amount of mental activity going on. Each of us dreams on average between five and six times every evening. You might not always remember your dreams, but nonetheless, through research and the monitoring of people during sleep, it has been established conclusively that on average we do have at least five or six dreams per night. What happens during these dreams is that the subconscious is doing one of two things:

1. It is processing the activities you encountered that particular day, or perhaps something that happened over the previous few days.



2. It is transmitting a message from the subconscious that is informing and guiding us in different aspects of our life. If we have had a particularly traumatic dream, a nightmare for example, we could wake up and feel negatively affected by that. Conversely, if we have had a dream that is very pleasing to us, that is very nourishing and empowering, we could wake up and feel great from that. So certainly there are reasons why we wake up in the moods that we do wake up in, and it has everything to do with what is happening within our mind.

For further information, I suggest you read the chapter on Dreams in the book Mind Power Into the 21st Century.

What you're going through is not that unusual. It is a natural reaction to working with Mind Powers. What happens quite often in the beginning stages is that we are intoxicated and excited with the new processes, and we become very inspired and enthused. However, old thinking habits and problems can begin resurfacing, especially if you have only been reading the book and haphazardly doing the techniques.

What I suggest that you do is to first of all read the Topic of the Month on Eliminating Negatives. It will assist you immensely. Also set up a daily program for yourself, where you actually work with the techniques for maybe ten or fifteen minutes a day. It is not enough to just read the book, and it is not enough just to have positive thoughts racing around in your head whenever they come. One must actually apply the techniques methodically, persistently and daily.

And of course, one has up days and one has down days. One does not necessarily take off like a rocket. What you're going through is what I commonly refer to as a dry period, a period where nothing seems to be working. These negative thoughts are the only thoughts going through your head. Always remember: it has nothing to do with your reality, only your own personal thoughts. You are now in the process of changing and managing your thoughts. So keep with it and you will move through this phase.

A You can never defy the laws of nature. Mind Power is working within the sometimes unexplainable and misunderstood laws that constantly exist for us. Everything in the world is made up of vibrations of energy, and our thoughts are also vibrations of energy, and so Mind Power works well within the laws of the universe. Things like magic and telekinesis, even though we don't understand them, also work within the laws of nature, working with different dimensions and vibrations.

A Astrology is a science and study that has its roots in ancient Egyptian times. There are many different views on the validity of astrology. I think if you look in the newspaper to ascertain what your sign means on any given day, you’re not going to get too much information there. It’s much too generic. However, there are good astrologers, and there is no question that one’s sign and time and place of birth do seem to have an influence on different aspects of one’s life. You can learn things from astrology. However, I also want to warn you that there is also a tremendous placebo effect that happens when one looks at astrology. But if you feel inclined to pursue it, it certainly has some validity.

This is a very good question, and I had to think about it for several minutes before I responded. First of all, let me say that not all support groups are created equally. I would suggest that you go to the support group and see how you feel when in it. When you come out of the meetings, how do you feel? Do you feel uplifted? Do you feel positive? Or do you feel depressed? Do you feel like there’s no hope? What kind of energy happens in the group? What is the collective attitude of the group? Is it a positive upbeat attitude or is it one of people just complaining about their illnesses?

Also, do they understand and practice Mind Power techniques? It might be an excellent opportunity for you to introduce these techniques to the people in the group. What do they think about the powers of the mind and the ability of the powers of the mind to heal? So I think it's a choice that you have to make after seeing how you feel being within the group. It certainly doesn't hurt to have support from other people.

A There is no clear answer to this question. There are two schools of thought about using deadlines to achieve goals. One is that it is very necessary to use deadlines for goals, the other that it can be counterproductive to use deadlines and goals. I actually don’t have a hard and fast rule. If you feel that a deadline for your goal is absolutely imperative, then by all means use it. However, you did say that the deadline you're using is quite soon after starting your Mind Power exercises. Mind Powers are not magic. They work with the energy and powers of the universe, and quite often these things need time to manifest. So artificially placing a quick deadline on a goal doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to achieve that goal any quicker. I think it’s a matter of what feels right for you.
