Laser Power Mind
Robert Elias Najemy
The common mind is like a 60 watt light bulb which gives off a
pleasant, not very powerful light, able to light up a small
room, so that we can see well enough to function. Its light is
confined to the small room and does not penetrate the walls to
light up what is behind them. Nor can it sufficiently light up a
larger room.
Our mind in the same way is pretty much confined to the small
room called our superficial, personal, conscious reality. It
does not have the power to penetrate to the depths of realities,
beyond social preconceptions and misconceptions. It is limited
by childhood programming and automatic emotional mechanisms,
which keep it limited the surface of things - superficial.
The light of the ordinary light bulb is scattered in many
directions and radiates at many different wavelengths and
frequencies. If we could take this 60 watts and direct all the
energy in the same direction and make all the rays move at the
same frequency, we would have a laser, which could burn a hole
through the wall (of illusion) and expose the reality behind it.
That is the same energy when synchronized and focused in only
one direction becomes much more penetrating. This is true of
light and also of our mind.
Meditation is the process by which we can turn our 60-watt
ordinary mind into a laser mind, which will then be able to
penetrate to the source of problems and solve them easily. It
will be able to burn through the veil of childhood programming
and help us to see the truth about ourselves, others and the
world around us. Twenty minutes a day is not much of an
investment for obtaining a laser mind, whose clarity and power
can offer us a happier, more fulfilling life, as well as
spiritual evolution and finally enlightenment.
It's our choice. Even if we had all the money in the world we
could not buy such a laser, nor can we steal it. Nor can anyone
else build it for us.
Only we can build it in our own mind.
