The Subconscious Mind and the Sixth Sense

Chapter 53 The Deepest Internal Strength—Mind Power (1)
People have been asking, can they have the power to shape their own lives?What can I do for individuals and groups?Can life be happier and more purposeful?

In order to find the answer, people rush to work and life all day long, but their minds are full of thoughts, their hearts are turbulent, and there is little peace.Even if you don't say a word, your heart is chattering endlessly.Worrying about the gains and losses of the past, and coveting the weight of success or failure in the future, but neglecting to focus on the joys and sorrows of the present.

When constantly pursuing external wealth, few people can calm down and explore and dig out the treasure deep in their hearts.

There is a quantum energy field in the universe, everyone is an individual with spiritual power, and his heart is full of the call of mind power.Mindfulness can play a vital role in life, and it can also guide people in a confused life.

Creation of miracles does not lie in divine power, but in a "thought".

Believe in yourself: anything is possible

【A person who believes in what kind of person he will become, and goes all out to do it, will become the person he hopes for.Self-confidence is an inexhaustible driving force in life, and it can help you overcome all fears. 】

There is a very popular ad saying: "Anything is possible!"

People are obsessed with self-confidence.Because self-confidence is the first element of success.

Most of the ordinary people in this world are because most people are living in the "impossible" state.These people are used to preparing for self-denial before they succeed, and are often lost in the panic of lack of self-confidence.So before the real setbacks on the road to success come, they have already flinched in the fear set by themselves.

A diligent and studious carpenter went to repair the judge's chair one day. He not only worked very seriously and carefully, but also modified the chair the judge sat on.

Someone asked him why he did this, but his answer was very surprising: "I want to make this chair last until I become a judge and sit on this chair."

Many people scoffed at Carpenter's answer.However, the carpenter didn't take it seriously, his eyes shone with confidence.

Years later, the carpenter really became a judge and sat on the chair he made himself.

A person who believes in what he will become, and works hard to do it with all his strength, will become the person he hopes to be.Self-confidence is an inexhaustible driving force in life, and it can help you overcome all fears.

The role that self-confidence plays in a person's outstanding growth is immeasurable.Whether in intelligence or physical strength, or in various abilities to do things, self-confidence occupies a cornerstone position.If a person lacks self-confidence, he will lack the initiative and enthusiasm to explore things, and his ability will naturally be restricted.

Self-confidence is a process of constantly affirming oneself, surpassing oneself, and producing the most powerful force from the depths of one's heart.Once this powerful force is generated, it will produce a very obvious feeling of fearlessness, a feeling of "invincibility".

After a person develops self-confidence, no matter how great the difficulties are and how strong the competition is, he will always feel relaxed and calm.

Some people never have enough self-confidence when they suffer setbacks, and even fail to recover after a setback; some people can quickly generate strong self-confidence when anxiety and despair sprout, and thus "hardly" rush forward.

The reason is that the former does not pay attention to the power of self-confidence at ordinary times, and cannot get the self-confidence he wants when he needs it.The latter, after long-term continuous training, makes the strength of self-confidence grow day by day.

Everyone always encounters depression, physical and mental exhaustion, pessimism and helplessness. In fact, this is all because of lack of self-confidence.

Self-confidence comes from surpassing oneself, which is manifested as surpassing others.

Many great figures in history showed amazingly strong self-confidence before they were recognized by the world.When they were generally ignored and questioned, their self-confidence not only did not weaken, but became stronger.

When Einstein was generally questioned, he said to others: "My life is not important now, because the general theory of relativity has been established, and this is the most important thing!"

Self-confidence is the basic material of a complete personality. The value of each person depends entirely on what he believes in. Of course, people's confidence also comes from the degree of recognition of this value.Whether you have a value that you insist on, or let your will go with the flow, and always let the outside world define your value, it all depends on your confidence.

Words like self-confidence are extremely needed by everyone. They need to promote the positive side of human nature, stimulate the potential in the body, and gain the courage to face and conquer the complex external world.However, deliberately denying or belittling lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem may cause people to lose more.

The following is a fable about Osho.

One day, the extremely clever Nasrudin came to Osho and said excitedly, "Come and help me!"

Osho asked puzzled, "What happened?"

Nasrudin was very upset: "I feel terrible, I suddenly become unconfident. God! What should I do?"

Osho said, "What happened to make you so insecure?"

Nasrudin was very frustrated: "I found that everyone is as good as me!"

People who seem very confident are often very unconfident. If this is the case, those who are full of confidence may be those who are not very confident, and people who are humble and forbearing are more likely to be determined.

Self-confidence and lack of self-confidence originally describe a natural state of mind of people in social adaptation, that is, the uneasy psychological process when people try to use their limited experience to grasp this strange world.The inner reality of self-confidence is only a product of human culture, and its real psychological function is to cover up human's fear of the unknowable external world.

In interpersonal situations, assertive people are more independent and less dependent on others, and thus more aggressive and aggressive, and less willing to share and be kind.In a team, a self-confident person often needs more people who seem less confident to reconcile, otherwise the team will easily lose balance and even break up unhappy.

The enemy of self-confidence is low self-esteem.Inferiority is low self-evaluation, belittling oneself, or even giving up on oneself.

Psychology believes that inferiority complex is a kind of inner alertness, a source and motivation of creation, and inferiority complex makes people pursue maturity, superiority and perfection.The famous psychologist Alfred Adler said: "All people's growth motivation and behavioral goals are aimed at pursuing security and overcoming inferiority complex." This explains why people with low self-esteem are more likely to succeed.From this point of view, human achievement is the function of inferiority complex.People's pursuit of excellence happens to be a compensatory behavior for inferiority complex, which makes self-esteem seem meaningless at all.

There was a female singer who was very nervous when she performed on stage for the first time.Thinking that she was about to go on stage, facing thousands of spectators, her palms were sweating: "What if I get nervous on stage and forget the lyrics?" thought.

At this moment, a senior came over with a smile, stuffed a scroll into her hand, and said softly: "This is the lyrics you want to sing. If you forget the lyrics on stage, just open it." Come and see." She held the note like a life-saving straw, and hurried onto the stage.Perhaps with the scroll in her hand, she felt much more at ease.Played pretty well on stage, nothing out of the ordinary.

She walked off the stage happily and thanked the senior.The senior smiled and said, "It was you who defeated yourself and regained your confidence. In fact, what I gave you was a blank piece of paper with no lyrics written on it!" She unfolded the roll in her hand, and sure enough there was something on it Didn't write either.She was surprised that by holding a blank sheet of paper, she managed to get through the difficulties smoothly and achieved the success of the performance.

"The blank paper you are holding is not a blank paper, but your confidence!" said the senior.The singer thanked the seniors.In the future life, she relied on her confidence to overcome one difficulty after another and achieve success after success.

The so-called law of success means that life will realize itself according to what one thinks and draws.This is a manifestation of self-confidence.Although its shape and color cannot be seen with the eyes, or touched with the hand, its existence cannot be denied.Life is actually what you think and paint.This is the eternal law of success.

Faith is a delicate flower that can bloom on every fertile soil of the soul. Once people can correctly understand themselves and trust themselves, they can produce amazing abilities and unshakable beliefs.Beliefs can have an effect on a person's thinking, mood, sensibility, rationality, and all other psychological actions.With belief, attention will be concentrated, and with the power of reason, it will not be difficult to discover the reality of things.So we will fully grasp the energy of the law of success and take control of our lives.

Breaking the Mindset: The Determination to Disrupt
[Experience often helps people identify and judge some things, but sometimes it is precisely because of previous experience that some limitations have been formed, resulting in mistakes in judgment. 】

What is a "mindset"?It is a way of thinking according to a fixed scope of thinking or according to a certain development trend.It is this way of thinking that people usually ask students to answer questions in accordance with the teacher's regulations, requirements and the scope defined by the content.This way of thinking is easy to stifle the talent of students, restrict the creativity of students, and is not conducive to the cultivation of high-quality talents.

A member of the United Nations asked the secret of Annan's success, and Annan replied: I still remember a class given to us by the teacher when I was 17 years old. The teacher held a piece of white paper with a black dot in his hand and asked us: "Children, What did you see?" We replied in unison: "A black dot!" Then the teacher said: "Don't any of you see the blank paper? In the future, we don't want to do this!"

Why did the students answer that they only saw one black dot?It is because they are limited by the stereotype of thinking: whoever cannot see a big white paper, the teacher must be asking about the black dots on the white paper.Annan's teacher's earnest words and earnest inspiration certainly educate students to look at problems comprehensively, not just confine themselves to a certain point, but more importantly, he teaches students how to look at problems and deal with affairs, which is to break the way of thinking stereotype.

The reason why Annan became a famous figure in the international political arena later has nothing to do with his use of the method of breaking the stereotype of thinking taught by his teacher.

A teacher asked: "What did the ice turn into?" The students who didn't break the thinking pattern replied: "It turned into water." The teacher said "Yes".A student who broke the stereotype said: "It became spring." The teacher said "wrong".Perhaps, our thinking framework is accumulated under such education.

In the long-term thinking practice, everyone has formed their own customary and formatted thinking model. When facing external things or real problems, we can put them into a specific thinking frame without thinking, and follow a specific Thought paths think about and process them.That's the mindset.

Mindsets can make people quite proficient in certain activities and even achieve automation, which can save a lot of time and energy.However, at the same time, its existence will also constrain thinking, making people only use conventional methods to solve problems, instead of using other "shortcuts" to break through, thus bringing some negative effects to problem solving.

In early summer, a new employee came to a big company. She was a hand model before, so she cherished her beautiful hands very much.She wears gloves almost every day to protect the beauty of her hands.

Gradually, colleagues were puzzled by the fact that she kept covering a pair of gloves, but because she was unfamiliar and inconvenient to ask, this also became a topic of conversation for many colleagues after dinner.

"There must be a scar on her hand, either burnt or scalded," guessed a colleague.

"Maybe there is a disability, or maybe a finger is missing." Another colleague responded.

The two guessed many answers, laughing and laughing.Suddenly, the new employee walked over, stood in front of the two of them for a while, blushed with anger, and then took off his gloves. As a result, the two gossiping colleagues were taken aback, because in front of them were a pair of white, tender and smooth hands , which embarrasses the commentators.

Most people think that two colleagues should not gossip and vilify others, but in all fairness, if we don’t know that the employee is a hand model, maybe we will also speculate about her hand in a bad way.Wearing gloves in hot weather is too abnormal, and covering up the defects on hands has become the first choice of people's inertial thinking.

In general, wearing gloves in summer is abnormal.Therefore, people's first reaction is to use gloves to try to cover up some kind of defect, but they rarely think that gloves are for protecting hands.Because we don't come into contact with and understand many hand models in life, experience leads our thinking into a narrow space.

Experience is forming a kind of subconsciousness, which often helps people identify and judge some things, but sometimes it is precisely because of previous experience that some limitations are formed, resulting in mistakes in judgment.

In fact, not only will there be a stereotyped effect when thinking and solving problems, but it will also be affected by psychological stereotypes in the process of knowing and interacting with others.If you hear someone say that someone has an opinion about you, even though it may be that the other person is lying, when you meet someone, you will always feel very unnatural.The reason is that they have formed a stereotype in the brain in advance, and because of the existence of this stereotype, people's reactions are different from usual.

Since childhood, everyone has learned countless rules and theorems from ignorance to knowledge. These rules and theorems are deeply rooted in our subconscious mind and are not aware of us.No wonder it is said that what hinders human development is not the unknown, but what has been learned.Therefore, the older a person is, the richer his knowledge is, and the greater his influence will be.Many so-called smart people cannot escape the negative effects of stereotyped thinking.

Asimov was smart since he was a child. He took part in the "IQ test" many times when he was young, and his score was always around 160. He belonged to the list of "extremely gifted".Once, he met an auto mechanic, an old acquaintance of his.

The mechanic said to Asimov, "Hey, Doctor, I'm here to test your intelligence. I'll ask you a question and see if you can answer it correctly."

Asimov nodded in agreement.The repairman began to talk about thinking questions: "A deaf and dumb man wanted to buy some nails. He came to the hardware store and made this gesture to the salesperson. The two fingers of his left hand stood on the counter, and his right fist made a knocking gesture. Seeing this, the salesman first brought him a hammer. The deaf-mute shook his head and pointed to the two fingers that stood up. Then the salesman understood: what the deaf-mute wants to buy is nails. The deaf-mute buys nails , just walked out of the store, and then a blind man came in. The blind man wanted to buy a pair of scissors, what would the blind man do?"

Asimov replied bluntly: "Blind people must be like this." As he said, he stretched out his index and middle fingers to make the shape of scissors.

The repairman laughed when he heard that: "Haha, you got the wrong answer. A blind man who wants to buy scissors just needs to say 'I'll buy scissors'. Why does he have to make gestures?"

Asimov, with an IQ of 160, had to admit that he was indeed a "stupid".But the car mechanic was unreasonable, and said in a lecturing tone: "Before taking the test, I knew that you would definitely give the wrong answer, because you have received too much education and cannot be very smart."

In fact, the relationship between being more educated and not being able to be smart as mentioned by the repairman is not because people learn more knowledge and become stupid, but because people have more knowledge and experience, and they will form more wisdom in their minds. mindset.

Due to the shackles of existing knowledge, experience and habits, when people deal with some "specious" problems, they are often confined to the old rules and regulations. Once you get rid of them, your thinking can spark creative sparks.

According to research by psychologists, people with a fixed mindset will become irritable, physically and mentally exhausted, and depressed over time.For example, there are more and more people using computers now, and most of the usual computer operations are in the form of conversations. As long as instructions are given to the computer, the computer will obey.People who are used to communicating with computers often find it difficult to understand their friends. They either insist on their own views or give up completely, and fall into an either-or thinking pattern, so that they are bound by their old eyes. I often run into walls from time to time and eventually lose confidence in socializing.

The so-called stereotype effect refers to the phenomenon that people are bound by old eyes because they are limited to existing information or cognition.Of course, this situation is very dire.

American psychologist Mike once did such an experiment: he hung two ropes from the ceiling, and the distance between the two ropes exceeded the length of two human arms. There is no way one hand can grasp the other.In this case, he asked a person to tie two ropes together.However, he put a pulley not far from the rope, which means that he wants to help the person who is tethering.However, although the people who tethered have seen this pulley for a long time, they did not think of its usefulness, did not think that the pulley would be related to the tethering activities, and as a result did not complete the task and solve the problem.

Actually, this problem is not difficult.If the man who is tying the rope attaches a pulley to the end of one rope, swings it vigorously, then grabs the end of the other rope and catches it when the pulley swings in front of him, he can tie both ropes to Together, the problem is solved.However, people get stuck in the mindset that such a simple problem is not solved.
