Who Controls Your Mind

Who Controls Your Mind ?
By Remez Sasson
Few people are aware of the thoughts that pass through their minds.
Thinking is performed like a habit, in an automatic manner. If the
thoughts are positive, then it is all right, but if they are negative,
they may cause trouble.
The mind is like small child, who accepts and takes for granted
whatever it sees or hears, without judgment and without considering
the consequences. If you let your mind behave as it likes and give
it complete freedom, you lose your freedom.
We are constantly flooded with thoughts, ideas and information coming
through the five senses, other people, the newspapers and TV. These
thoughts, ideas and information penetrate the mind whether we are
aware of this process or not.
This outside flow influences our behavior and reactions. It influences
the way we think, our preferences, likes and dislikes. This means
that we let outside powers shape our lives. So where is freedom?
Most people think and believe that their thoughts originate from
them, but have they ever stopped and considered whether their thoughts,
desires, likes and dislikes are really theirs? Maybe they are outside
influences that they have unconsciously accepted?
If there is no filter to process the thoughts that enter the mind,
there is no freedom. Then all actions are like the actions of a
puppet on a string, though no one will admit it.
You may object and say that the thoughts that pass through your
mind are yours, but are they? Have you deliberately and attentively
created every thought that entered your mind?
Why let outside influences control your mind and life? Why be a
slave to other people's thoughts? Do you want to make your mind
free or do you prefer to enslave it to other people's opinions and
thoughts? If you leave your mind open to every thought that passes
by, you put our life in other people's hands, and without realizing
it you accept their thoughts and act in accordance with them.
Each person is more susceptible to certain kind of thoughts than
others. Certain thoughts and ideas we ignore, and others spur us
to immediate action. Thoughts concerning subjects we love have more
power on us than other thoughts, but even thoughts and ideas that
we don’t care about, if we are frequently exposed to them,
eventually sink into the subconscious mind and influence us.
Everyone has desires, ambitions and dreams that he or she may foster
from childhood. They may be the thoughts of parents, teachers and
friends, and which have lodged into our minds, and are carried around
throughout our lives. Are they necessary? Do we need all this excessive
baggage?
In order to reduce the power of outside influences and thoughts
on your life, you need to be aware of the thoughts and desires that
enter your mind, and ask yourself whether you really like them,
and are willing to accept them into your life. Analyze your motives
and actions, and you will be surprised to find out that many of
them were triggered by outside influences.
You do not have to accept each and every thought, idea or information.
Think and find out whether you entertain certain thoughts because
you decided to do so, or because they just popped into your head
due to outside influences.
Learn not to accept every thought that you encounter. Find first
whether it is for your own good to follow it. It may not be so easy
at the start, because the mind will revolt against this control.
If you want to be the master of your mind and life, you should not
let other people’s thoughts, desires and motives rule your
life, unless you consciously choose so.
