UNIT - A, THE MAGIC POWER OF MIND

Human Thoughts

It is the amazing power of thought and ability to rationalize that makes man superior to all creations. It is thought, that is man's most powerful instrument, the faculty that enables him to face up to the enormous problems of living and change. With the existing pace of research, it is assumed that it may take another 100 years of scientific research to fully unreveal the mysteries of human mind. Whatever little is known of it is confounding indeed. Following are some of the known powers and functions of human thought.

The Universal Energy

ALBERT EINSTEIN

In 1905, Albert Einstein gave the world a famous formula: E=mc2. In the formula, E is the energy, m is mass or matter and c represents the velocity of light. This formula explains the relationship between Energy and Matter. When matter approaches speed of light, it becomes energy and as the velocity slows down to zero, it becomes matter. By learning to apply this formula man has been able to turn matter into energy and energy into matter. We can now see that because matter and energy are one and the same thing, everything in this Universe is inter-related and influences each other.

We now know that all that exists is, infact, all energy. Science has now begun to say what religion declared centuries ago. Our physical universe is not really composed of any "matter" at all; its basic components are a kind of forces or essence which we call ENERGY.

The theory of "Big Bang" has it that it was just a speck of light that exploded into what we call universe. Obviously, light in exploding must have formed into Energy like any explosion does and the energy transformed itself into matter.

Sura "Noor" in Quran, starts by saying, "Allah is the Light of heavens and earth" (S.xxiv., 35)

The astrologers maintain that the positioning of stars and planets at a particular time influence the course of human life.

If we study the entire Physical Universe we find that everything that exists in it is made up of ENERGY.

On finer levels, however, matter can be broken-up into tiny particles like atoms and sub-atoms. An atom consists of neutron, protons and electrons. It simply consists of pure Energy. We and everything around us is made up of energy. We are a part of one great energy field - the Universal Energy.

If we study the entire Physical Universe we find that every thing that exists in it is made up of ENERGY

"The scientific world is beginning to discover what metaphysical and spiritual teachers have known for centuries. Our Physical universe is not really composed of "matter" at all; its basic component is a kind of force or essence which we call Energy. Things that appear to be solid and separate from one another on the level our physical sense normally perceive them. On finer levels, however, atomic and sub-atomic levels, seemingly solid matter is seen to be smaller and smaller particles within particles, which eventually turns out to be just energy"
